Indian Vllngel May Have 50.000 Population Soon

Contract is-Ii-eved One of Largest Ever Sign- ed In Canada.

VICTORIA. B. 0., Jan. 2-(CP) -British Columbia started off 1051 with a bang today-an agreement with Aluminum Company of Can- ada that will load eventually to a ssoo.ooo,ooo development in the northern B. C. wilderness.

Lands Minister 1:. T. xenney signed an agaeement during the week-end giving the company wat- er rights for a vast hydro develop- ment in the Tweedsmuir Pa.rk.sr- ea, about 400 miles north of Van- couver.

No further details were given. Certain features of the agreement require sanction of the B. C. Log- islature. which opens its 1961 ses- sion Feb. 20. ,

”For that reason we are unable to say anything more than the fact that negotiations started with the company in 1941 have receiv- ed the final touches at long last." Mr. Kenney told a press confer- ence today.

"This is a fine way for the people of British Columbia to start 1951," he added.

"It's the biggest thing ways ever seen. I doubt if there has ever

been a larger contract before in Canada." The agreement covets water

rights in the Tahtsa-Kemano wat-

ersheds of Twecdsmui Park. where '

the company proposes to develop a 500,000-H. P. power plant on the Memano River as the first stage of a 1,500,000-I-l. P. development.

Construction of the power plant

would follow building of a dam in

the Grand Canyon of the Nec River. about we miles from

merit.

The power site is about 50 miles from Kitimat. tiny Indian village at tidewstcr which in a few years will become an aluminum boom town of probably 50.000 population.

Canada Considers Stand On Rearmament Of Japan

By DOUGLAS HOW

OTTAWA, Jan. 2 - (0?) ---Can- ada. already -backing a cautious rc- armament of Germany. now is forging a policy on rearmameht of

the oapanese as part of a general policy on I. peace treaty -with Tokyo.

It is a licy which both Exter- nal. Affairs and Defence Headquar- ters will have a voice in, but so far. officials say. it has not yet crystal- lized. It is in "the informal discus- sion stage." .

But even before Gen. 'Do-uglas MacArthur's im-plied call for ros- tcration of Japanese arms. Ottawa was pondering Canada's -position on that point as one of the vital fact- crs affecting any broad peace treaty.

For that reason. officials have reacted with interest to the Mac- Arthur statement and are watch- ing the reactions of world capitals with equal interest

since Australia. New zealand and probably India. as well as Britain. would be vitally interested in the Japanese question. it is considered quite possible that it will be raised at the Commonwealth Prime Min- istcrs' conference starting Thurs- day in London.

It would fit into the Prime Min- islers' anticipated study of the glo- bal thrcat of Communism and the abilities of the Western World to counteract that threat. A news des- patoh from Canberra today said the Australian Government feels that any uncontrolled rearmament cf Japan would be "playing with dyn- smite.”

On the German question. the Cvovemment has gone a considerable distance. Canada and her Atlantic Pact Allies are backing the warm- ing of 150.000 Ger-mans as part of the integrated Eisenhower-led army of Western Europe.

In fact. Canada quietly took an active role In helping break down French resistance to formation of German units of 0,000 men and is believed to be on the side of those who feel this must be increased to division size.

Canada. it is understood. has taken the position she canlt send troops to defend Germany unless Cvermuu Communism themselves.

TOKYO. Jan. 3 -(Wednesday) -(AP)-Chinese Red hordes drove almost to Seoul's outskirts today through a cap ripped in United Nations defences 10 miles north of the imperiled city.

The Reds smashed through Uijongbu with heavy tanks and mounted machine-guns along the main north road to Seoul. the virtually-deserted capital of South Korea.

The big aitsck quickly achieved its break-through at a soft spot between British and American forces.

"This is a major atlad." an American division oilficer told AP correspondent Stan swintan.

llit Thin Spot

Two Chinese regiments assaulted a thin snot between American and British forces as if they knew ex- actly wherc it, was.

They also protected their flank by drivinz British troops off a nearby hill.

United states reserves hurried up in an effort to plug the hole. Fighter-bombers strafed a nd rocketed Chinese.

In hhe hour of new peril for Seoul. the south Korean Republic's Cabinet deliberated in secret ses- sion whether to move the Cavem- ment south.

Earlier, the Chinese had increas- ed their men-ace in the virtually deserted city by occupying the major highway point of Uljonglbu. 12 miles northof Seoul. U. N. de- fenders had abandoned the town Tuesday for a new defence line just. to the south.

The major assault was preceded by a probing attack this morning 10 miles northeasl of Seoul against U. S. 24th Division troops.

AP correspondent Jack Macbeth with the 24th Division. said 10.000 Chinese Reds were believed facing this American division.

The Red offensive, resumed io- day. began New Year's eve. It sub- sided in the pre-dawn of New Year's Day when U. N. forces broke contact and withdrew more than 10 miles.

Representatives of p o t a t 0: growers in Prince Edward Island; and New Brunswick were iolcli before Christmas that the Fed- eral Government would give ihcm financial assistance If iliey marketed their potatoes as best they could. The official said there has been no change in that of-. far.
