BELGRADE (Reuters)--1-"re-s- ident Tito Sunday lashed back at the-Soviet bloc’s anti - Yugoslav campaign, reserving his strong- est words to -criticize Ciommunist China.

Speaking at a. miners’ rally, Tito accused Chinese leaders of being against the relaxation of world tension and of instigrati-ng war danger in -order to solve their internal troubles.

This was the first public denun- ciation of the Soviet bloc made personally by Tito since the Yugoslav Communist Prrty Con- gress in April.

Chinese Commcunisis Are Blasted Byiito

Tito said Yugoslavia will re- main finm in the present dispute.

“I do not want the struggle, but when it is being imposed on us we shall plight," he declared amid stormy applause. LEADING ROLE

Tito said the Chinese Commu- nists had a leading role in the campaign against Yugoslavia.

He said Chinese leaders were using “unprecedented and abu- sive exipressions” in their at- tacks. ‘

“With such abusive words these Marxists are allegedly de- fending the purity of the science of Marx, Engels and Lenin.

“But all three would turn in their raves if they knew who is explain-ing their theoretical

premises and in what way."

ORDINARY FLUCTUATIONS

MONTREAL (CP)——Co1. Mau- rice Forget, president of Quebec Natural Gas Corporation, said Saturday he does not know whether Quebec government offi- cials have been shareholders in the company.

“Like any individuals, these people may have bought shares through their brokers,” he said. “I know nothing about that.”

The company president, who also is president of the invest- ment firm of Forget and Forget, described as “pure falsehood” a story by the newspaper Le De- voir which said a $20,000,000 stock market coup was involved in his company taking over the gas distribution system of Que- bec. Hydro. '

He said about 50 brokerage firms handled sale of corporation bonds and debentures when it ar- ranged its financing. “The ‘lot was sold within 24 hours. In tact most of the securities were sold in advance."

GOT ORIGINAL PRICE

Col. Forget said the corpora- tion got only the original sale price of the securities. .

“Il.the price went up after- wards, this was simply due to ordinary market fluctuations,"

He said that when the coun- pa-ny was incorporated, its cap- ital was $50,000 but when it made deposits on its purchase of Que- bec Hydro gas system, it had ob- tained $5,000,000 from seven in- stalment companies.

The loans were guaranteed by 544,906 class B shares turned over to the lenders and these later became common shares.

Commienting on Le Devoi-r’: statement Friday that high offi-. cialvs. of Quebec Hydro obtained “lush options”. from the gas cor- poration, Col. Forget said two "special-istzs” Joined the

OTTAWA, — (Special) —- A veteran Liberal MP from New- foundland charged last‘ night that Prime Minister Diefenbaker and the governments hospitality committee had discriminated against the Liberal Province in the coming visit of Princess Margaret.

Ohesley W. Carter, who has represented Burin-Bvurgeo riding since 1949, accused Mr. Diefen- baker of “deliberately by-pass- ing” Manitoba, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland be- cause of their Liberal adminis- tration. The Princess, who ar- rives in Canada on July 12,to at- tend British Columbia’s centen- nial celebrations, will tour all provinces but those three. “What the Prime Minister has done,” declared Mr. Carter in an inter- view, “is place the three Liberal Provinces in exactly the same category as the Doukhobors.”

His reference was to the re- cent decision of the government to eliminate that part of the Princess's itinerary that would have taken her to the Doukhobor area in the West Kootenays of British Columbia. The Sons of Freedom sect of the Doukhobors have been resorting -to violence in that region, and the govern- ment feared further outbreaks during the Princess’s visit. The Doukhobons frequently s t a g e nude parades, burn schoolhouses and blow up railway tracks and highways.

Mr. Carter said with some irritation that it was “unthink- able” that the Prime Minister, who puts the final stamp of ap- proval on Her Royal Highnesses’ itinerary, should have passed up Newfoundland, the newest Pro- vince of Confederation.

“A lot of Newfoundland people are going to be disappointed," he said, “because we've seldom been passed over when royalty visits Canada. You would think Mr. Diefenbaker would have made certain the Princess would go to Newfoundland even if only for a brief stay.”

It was equally disturbing to him, said Mr. Carter, that Prince Edward Island “should

The prospectus dated April 15, 1957, said that Kenneth B. Lucas, who became the corporations general manager, was given an option up to March, 1962, to buy 10,000 shares at $10 each. Thomas E.
