VICTORIA, Nov. I4—(OP)Hon. G. S. Pearson toda resigned as

British Columbia. Mnistcr of Lah- or, stating in his letter of resigna- tion he could not remain in the Liberal cabinet "as I do not feel the Government has the confi- dence oi the peoph nor the House." At the same time Premier Pattullo announced a cabinet shakeup and appointment of two new Liberal ministers.

Mr. Emerson's lcttter of resigna- tion stated he favored a coalition government rather than s new election "which I feel certain must result from an attempt to force a new cabinet upon a House in which the Government has a minority of members supporting it"

In the Oct, 21 provincial elec- tion Liberals failed to hold their legislature majority. Twenty-one Liberals were elected along with l4 C.C.F., 12 Conservatives and one labor member.

Mr. Pattullo, announcing the resignation. issued a statement saying he had asked Mr. Pearson to accept the posts of Provincial Secretary and Minister of Educa- tion left vacant when Dr. G. W. Weir, who held both portfolios. vllas defeated in Vancouver-Point Grey. Mr, Pearson had refused.

Mr. Pziltullo announced Hon. W. J. Asselstine, former Mines Min- ister, will succeed Mr. Pearson and Hon. C. S. Lcaiy. former Public Vliorks Minister. will head the Mines department. Thomas King, member for Columbia, will be sworn in as Public Works Minister at Vancouver tomorrow.

“It was e small demonstration." he said.

“I wish that all present herc nliglht have heard the extent oli limit, demonstration nnd‘ also the demonstration that, followed it nif- ter I spoke to the troops."

The Prime Minister criticized l despntoh sent out by The Canad- ian Press from Aldersllot on that day "which really could only be a misre resentlition of the facts."

Bri lsh newspapers, he said. he believed, had not made c. single mecition of any incident "which was unpleasant in connection with lnv visit to the troops" and he did not think other press representa- tives had sent out any statement of t kind.

Postpone talks 0n freight plan And price fixing

FREDERICTON, Nov. 14-40?)- Departure of representatives of the Maritime Fbtierrltlon of Agriculture for Ottawa, to discuss details of the ncw freight assistance on grain and price fixing plan, has been Postponed indefinitely. it was learn- ed here tonight.

The delegation was to have left tomorrow, but now may not go un- til next month. or the federal de- partment of agriculture may trend a. representative to the illrlrii-imcs.

Potato growers have protested up- plicntlon of price-fixing to poti- toes. Hon. A. C. Taylor, provincial‘ minister of agriculture. expressed opinion todny the price level of this crop was disproportionate to that of ottier farm produce. slid said some adjustment might be nec-

“FCl‘I.I.IIZ(‘l' prices and wage levels at present prevailing, and under which the new crop must be put in next year, are higher than they were last sprinq," he said. "and therefore it will cost the farmer more to produce his crop. Prices d other farm produce fc-l." the most. part, are quite satisfactory at the present time, so lreir ceiling prices will be economical."

0n the subject of grain freight, clarification is sought oi the plan that importers and wholesalers pay the freight and then apply to the federal government for rebates.
