“In other words," he declared In an address in the port of Halifax club, “we must make confederation work.

“The intricate, powerful machin- ery of monopoly is growing in Can- ads. and has a terrific grip which may check the development of our democratic society." declared Mr. A. B. MacDonald, general secretary of the Co-operativc Union of Can- ada. at the 12th annual meeting of the Morell Credit. Union last evening.

President Joseph Walsh's report showed the past amthmilkeesi. in the hlsinry of Union which transacted over $50000 worth of business. Mr. Louis Maguire rend the finarizial report for the secret- ary, Mr. IFrank Dunn who was ob- sont. through illness. This report showed the Union to be in n healthy financial position.

Following n. social interval for lunch. Mr. MacDonald addressed the fully attended meeting in the Community Hall. IIe warned that. apparently, governments in any country cannot effectively control monopoly on prices. I-Ie referred to the lack of action against the bread monopoly in the tivcsl: and the flour milling monopoly recently disclosed. "You are paying more for your bread because of this monopoly," he declared.

Morell Has Answer

“But you have the answer to these practices here in Morell," he continued. "Strengthen your co- operatives, so that ll. national struct- ure of all co-operatlvrs will have an effect on such monopolies.“ These are the real dangers. I wouldn't wor- ry too much about the other bogics."

Speaking of the wide publicity Morell hsd received as a. co-operat- ive success. Mr MacDonald said “although you have done s. lot- there's a lot more you can do.

"There's a soul in a Credit Un- ion that you can't see on the bal- ance sheet. Without. the soul the faith in each other, the union o! honesty and trust, the credit. Union is not going to be the pow- er in the community it might be."

The speaker urged that. Credit Unions be established in thf schools to off-set the ccmpemivc spirit: and develop ideas in the minds of the young of helpfulness instead. “We have changed the thinking of the adults. We will be doing less than our job if we for- get the. young people," he added.

MacDonald congratulated the people of Morell on their "tre- mendous programme" of co-opflf- atlve development. Ha Wamfiil that in changing from the old ways to the new there would be difficulties but counselled them not to be discouraged. "When yuu think buck 15 years or so, you see how fur you've advanced and how your thinking has become entirely different. That's the real success of eta-operation," he concluded.

New directors elected were Messrs. Cheater MucCardy and Hymn Webster. Mr. Herbert Mc- Darmid was reappoint ’ m the credit committee and Mr. Joseph Walsh elected a member of the supervisory committee.

Hils Al IIIISSIG; Says Canada Nol U. S. Camp Follower

By Dough; I-‘low

OTTAWA, Nov. 1B —- (CPJ — External Affairs Minister Pearson lashed out at. Russia today for marked "acceleration“ of her tyr- annies. He also proclaimed Can- ada's determination to be more than a “camp-follower" of the Uni- ted States. _

He called for U. S. action on at least six issues-—lhe Si. Lawrence seaway, an exchange of arms. Newfoundland military bases, bor- der bars to certain leftist Canad- ians, a Japanese peace treaty and a bilateral air treaty.

Around the World

In a 90-minute Commons review that took him around the world. he charged that Russian efforts to absorb "a wider and wider area" poison and distort the aspirations of Western Europe and have re- duced mosi of Eastern Europe to an "abject subordination” where complete identification with the whims of Moscow has become the basic demand.

Iniliating a debate on for- eign affairs before a well- filled, attentive House, he pro- phesied that in time the flame of liberty in Eastern Europe will help lo lift the shadow which has obscured if and. by implication, he linked that development with the "un- happy people" of Russia her- self.

Points In Speech

These were among the points Mr. Pearson made;_,

i. Canadian reiailofi! wlch the U S. are friendly, complex and continuous bul. cannot be taken foo much for granted. Canada must recognize the importance and exertions of the U. S.. but the US. must look on Canada as a "oc- operallng partner, not as a camp follower."

4. Russia ls using every means

Flood prices were cheaper here than in Newfoundland and it was more economical to ship fm-n Hali- fax than from the United Slates.
