Seek Vegetables Oils

I

OTTAWA. Dec. 2l-tOPl-'l‘lle coming of margarine opens new possibilities for Canadian produc- tion of vegetable oils, a war-horn industry in Ontario and the west, Government scientists said today.

Months before the Supreme court decreedthat butter sllbstl- tutos can be made and sold in Canada. the National Research Council had men st. work study- ing tho edible possibilities of oils from certain seeds in the manu- facture of shortening. Now the studies have a wider horizon.

The scientists have concluded that oils from the rape and weed seeds that come off western farms can certazlliy be made edible wlth such aids lls bleaching and 1'Cfl"‘.— ing. Without enterinng into tho pubiio controversy, they add that they "merit. very serious consider- ation" by anyone considering man- ufacture of margarine which, il'\ the United States, normally uses l0 per cent. vegetable oils.

Tile same goes for sunflower seed produced in Manitoba and

soy beans from western Ontario,

both already established as edible oils.

"There is every likelihood." one source sllid,, "that all these oils, which can be bulk-produced, should bc of increasing import-

anre from the edible point. of vlcw.“ Whether industry takes over

from there remains to be seen.

1f it does, it. may mesnlsrge ‘things for ‘a small, scattered in- dustry that. sprang up during the war when normal supply sources were cut off. Production has sur- vived the war, but. Canada still is a heavy importer of vegetable oils undel- international allocation and their scarcity was one of the argu- ments used by anti-margarine far- ces.

They said there simply wouldn't be any oils to make it.

Rapeseed was originally brought into production to provide lnsrlns englnslubricsnts. Much of the present output goes overseas into countries which use it in food. Wartime Germany, for instance, undo wide use of it in margarine.

BUHQOS AIRES, Dec. 21 - (AP) — The United States is worried about recent Latin American revolutions and is consulting with key governments, diplomatic sources said today.

Talks have been started by the United States Embassy both here and in other capitals.

The new policy established last April at the Bogota conference of granting almost automatic recog- nition to any government whether established by force or through regular election is seen as source of the difficulty.

ion says that American govern- rrents do not necessarily give ap- proval to the methods used by new governments in attaining power.

Before Bogota. the United States freqqucntiy refused to immediately a government that came to power through revolution.

Most Latin American Foreign Ministers usually believed it; wiser ‘.0 grant immediate recognition. Proponents of the Bogota doctrine ileld that. the United States lost contact with neighboring slates by a policy of aloofness.

Informed sources said the State Department has not changed its mind about the wisdom of grani- ing quick recognition to revolut- ionary governments. However, the fail of the governments of Peru and

‘Venezuela to military Juntas, re-

ports of anti-government plots in Cilile and Argentina, and disturb- ances in Central America are caus- ing eoncerll.
