conference was held.

There was cautious hope that a ceasefire in Formosa strait could be arranged. But the delegates felt grave anxieties about the pos- sibility an accidental collision be- tween the U. S. 7th Fleet and the Chinese Communist could touch off a main: war.

Formosa and the Pescadores are the islands the United States,ls committed to defend.

Churchill opened the conference with a wide-ranging review of the world situation. C o n f e r s n c e sources said he told the other prime ministers the Formosa question was an extremely delic- sie one and urged great care in any joint efforts to case the ten- sion. Aides said he emPl1lIBl7-N1 the need for a quick cease-fire.

lie was also reported to have touched on his hope that the Western powers will be able to

arrange a Big Four meeting with Russia next spring to try to CID! the cold war.

An official statement after the meeting said the delegates had "concentrated more Particularly on tho gosition in thd.l'nr East.

"Should the United States feel unable to agree on this proposal, I believe this country should im- pose a duty on U.S.-grown pota- toes of 37V: cents per hundred- weight which would enable the Canadian producer to compel on something like equal terms." Mr. Macliean was supported by Gage W. Montgomery (PC-Vic- toria-Carleton) who said US. po- tato exporters aelling on the Montreal market earnedS30 more

i a,carload as a result of dollar

exchange rates. He suggested that was an unfair trade policy.

LOCAL UNEMPLOYMENT

Mr. MacLean noted that very brief reference only was given in the Throne Speech to unemploy- ment. Uncmployment is very ser- ious ln the Maritime Provinces at the present time, he said. His- tory was repeating itself inns- much as once again, young peo- ple from the Maritimes were obliged to go elsewhere to find jobs for themselves. He noted that at present. there are 2.265 lobless in Charlottetown, a figure just a little less than in January 1954.

"This is a slate of affairs." the Queen's member said. "that can- not be allowed to continue indef- initely." He urged the federal government to take such action as would change the economic climate of the Maritimes and en- courage the development of in- dustry ln the east coast areas.

Mr. MscLean voiced approval of the government's plan to sm- end the War Veterans Allowances Act to increase benefit and raise the ceiling on permissive income. He also approved the system of pensions for the totally disabled and the lowering of the age of eligibility for blind pensioners. He noted however that there is a two-year gap between the top age for family allowance arid the proposed lowest age of eligibility for a blind pension.

Lodge called the Soviet pro-

posal "the standard Communist line" and said it left no doubt that international communism

would like to take over Formosa "or any other place in the world.”

"If the Communists really are opposed to war and violence, as their statement affirms, they can easily demonstrate it by joining the peace-loving nations of the world in supporting a cessation of hostilities. That is why we of the free world are here today."

In submitting the New Zealand item. Munro said ”the threat and the danger of the Formosa sit- uation can only be removed by putting an end to the fighting altogether."-

27-lncli Fall

In New Brunswick the mercury hovered around zero. Woodstock. in the potato-growing county of Carleton, finished up as the week- end's coldest cold spot with a read- ing of 28 degrees below zero. LIGIIT SNOW AT YABMOUTH Oddly enough, only an inch of snow fell on Ysrmouth in western Nova Scotia.

The weather office said the storm was moving slowly off to the east and clearing skies should follow. The blizzard dumped six inches of snow on Charlottetown between midnight and 9 am. Monday. Hun- dreds of workers and school chil- dren reported in late for work. HEAVY DIIIFTING

Winds reached 30 miles an hour and drifts filled in most roads across the islands three counties. The temperature dipped to four below- zero at. Moncton at night- fall and to three below at Saint John.

The weather office took time to figure that January had produced less sunshine than any in the last 15 years in southern Nova Scotia.

in proposing the toast to for- mer mayors. Col. Storey said: "Far sighted men have done a tremendous lot of work down through the years as evidenced in our splendid church buildings. schools. hospitals and other com- mendable objectives, which make our a city a nice place in which to live."

Hon. 8. Earle MacDonald. Min- later of Health and Welfare, in responding to the toast. said he felt highly honoured to be privil- eged to speak on behalf of for- mer mayors who had played an unselfish voluntary role in the development of the city. "I feel humble tonight as I.realize more than ever how really unimport- ant we all are as time passes". Mr. MacDonald paid tribute to the staff at City Hall whom he said were "doing an excellent job in the offices and on the streets in perfect harmony and with un- derstanding."

E. C. Johnsione. senior mem- ber of the present council in pro- posing the toast to former coun- cillors said the city was under a deep debt of gratitude to those who had so served the city. "Those who survive may look back tonight and reflect on ser- vice well rendered,” he said.

Donald. Minister of Health and Welfare. both of whom entered public life by way of the City Council."

Lleiit. Col. Leo MacDonald pro- posed the toast to former Water Commissioners. and made refer- ence to the change over "from the old bucket-and-well days and primitive fire fighting equipment in the modern conditions under which we live".

Following the souvenir presen- tatlons to former Mayors. sev- eral epoke briefly. Dr. Blanchard recalled the horse and sleigh election days of February 30 years ago in humorous vein.

Mr. P. W. Turner believed that an inherent characteristic of city mayors was a deep sense of re- sponsibi1'y and loyalty. which paid good dividends to the citi- zens in worthwhile achievements.

Lieut. Governor T. W. L. Prowsc was in a reminiscent mood as he recalled his entrance to civic politics as a councillor in 1922. "Being Mayor was a very inter- esting experience which left me with a deep appreciation of our citizens whom I always found kindly disposed to those whom they place in authority."

Mr. Norman W. Lowther was grateful for- the opportunity to express thanks for former coun- cillors "We do appreciate this gesture of 'good will. and assure all concerned that it is all very nice from our point of view."
