Progress In

OTTAWA (Special) — Prince Edward Island, long known for its agriculture and listing, is making headway in the manu- facturing industry as well.

The Dominion Bureau of Sta- tistics reported Monday that the gross value of manufactured pro- ducts in 1956—t-he last year for which surveys are complete—to- talled $24,497,245 This compares with $23,628,831 in 1955.

Employees in Island inanufact- uring plants numbered 1.1775 in 1956, as against 1.769 in 1955. and salaries and wages paid totalled $3,233,404, compared with $3,074,- 085 in 1955.

PM Leaves Today On World Tour

OTTAWA (CW—Prime Minis- ter Diefenbaker leaves by air to- day on his “good neighbor" trip around the world—a 15-country journey aimed primarily at get- ting to know better Canada’s commonwealth partners in Asia.

The RCAF’s C-5 luxury airliner will carry him on the 54-day jour— ney, returning to Canada five days before Christmas. Three weeks have been set aside for visits to five Asian countries.

Mr. Diefenbaker, in a speech last week, said the tour was based on the desir~ to “get to know your neighbor better."

Mr. Diefenbaker will visit Pak- istan, India. Ceylon, Malaya, In- donesia and Singapore.

United Kingdom Parliament To Open Today

By KEN METHERAL

LONDON (CP)-—The Queen op- ens a new session of Parliament today under the glare of televi- sion cameras and in an atmos- phere crackling with overtones of the coming general election.

Following Canada’s lead, the mother of Parliaments at West- minster is allowing the colorful ceremony of the state opening to be televised for the first time in history. More than 20,000,000 Brit. 0115 are expected to watch the spectacle just as Canadians did when the Queen opened Parlia- ment in Ottawa a year ago.

In the United Kingdom, it marks the start of a session which many Britons predict will be the last before Prime Minister Macmillan leads his Conservative party into a general election.

OTTAWA (CP) — Mai-Gen. W. H. S. MacIolin, former adju— tant - general of the Canadian army, Monday night delivered his sharpest attack yet on Can- ada's defence policy.

He chose as his forum the Ot- tawa District Young Progressive Conservative Association.

Gen. Mackllin said that in the realm of defence Canada is head- ing “deeper and deeper every day into the status of a satellite, or colony" of the United States. He said the RCAF as now or- ganized and equipped has “absol- utely no military value or signifi- cance whatever when considered by itself as a purely Canadian force.”

ONLY A HANDMAIDEN

“The RCAF now is a defensive tactical handmaiden of the U.S. strategic air force, and it is noth- ing more... it is, in effect. a colonial military instrument serv- ing the nuclear strategy of the U.S.”

Gen. Macldin, a consistent and harsh of Canadian defence policy since his retirement from the army more than three yeam ago. said “matters will be even

is substituted for the discarded Arrow jet interceptor.”

“This is no more than a si-mon- pure, anti-aircraft weapon of de- fence against manned bombers. Like t-he jets it rill be utterly useless against other missiles, whic are the offensive weapons of the near future. It is just as obsolescent as the Arrow.

“It is not even the best avail- able missile of its type. The U.S. Army has the Nike-Hercules al. ready in production and on issue to units. The Bomarc is not yet even fully tested . . . .'

LEFT WITHOUT FIGHTERS

“If this process continues we shall have a sneaked air force without a single airplane in it that can fight. To leave Canada without air power will be a na- tional disaster. The army will have to provide its own air transport and its own air support or remain a third-d'ass army."

Gen. Macklin said the navy should have been provided with submarines “long years ago.” No- body seemed to know or care what the strategic role of the navy is.

The army, with the elacqltion of the brigade in Europe, was not ready for war.

The militia was “perishing from public apathy."

NEED O‘I'HERS'

Not one of the Canadian serv- ices could carry out a govern ment decision without help from some other country.

“I say that is a position of sub- servience, a colonial status." Gen. Macldin declared.

He made those tions:

1. Unified control of the armed forces under one chid' of staff and barring of the deputy minis- ter from the fieldof policy.

2. Equipping the new with aircraft capable of moving men and armaments over any distance and of intervening in a land battle. The aircraft industry should be reorganized to produce such planes.

3. Recreation of a merchant marine. ' 4. Equippinc of the army with tactical nuclear weapons and air transmit.

smoke from a Sistine Chapel chimney signal-s an inconclusive vote.

Two crates of smoke torches were carried into the conclave this morning from a fireworks factory.

Pearson Would Give Reds Quemoy And Malsu Island

By GAVIN SCOTT MEDFORD. Mass. (CH—Chi- nese Nationalists now entrenched on Quemoy and Maltsu should

withdraw to Formosa because defence of the offshore islands does not involve defence of prin- ciple. C a n a d i a n Opposition Leader Lester L. B. Pearson said Monday night.

The shelling on the Formosa Strait, PearSOn said, constitutes a Chinese civil war which does not, in his view, beg interference from Canada.

Only a “calculated transfer" of one-third of Chiang Kai - shck’s forces has made defence of the

islands important :. ’1 it was “bad diplomacy which allowed that to happen." the Liberal

party leader said. Pearson, who last year won the

part in private seminar sessions today.

Tension in the Formosa Strait, Pearson said, maysimmer down with a display of U. S. military power in the area.

“If it does. I hope that advan- tage will be taken of the lull—as advantage was not taken, as we had the right to anticipate it would have been in 1955—50 that these islands can bemade again tactically unimportant for the defence of Formosa by removing Chinese troops back to where they would be serving an import- ant and genuine purpose."

Indicating he believes Canada

would view Communist aggres-‘

sion against Formosa as a much more serious matter, Pearson said “Formosa is not necessarily part of continental China."

“But if the offshore islands are attacked by one side in the Chil-
