Would Form Band To Fight Communism

MONTREAL (CP) - A British Columbia pilot who, claims 450 supply flights in the Far East has set out to enlist IUPPOYI 101' I volunteer group to halt the spread of communism in Asia. ,

Al Mah, ii veteran of the Second world War and the Korean war. vlsualizes a group along the lines of the Flying Tigers. He says the plan has the support of Claire Chennault, American leader of the Tigers prior to the Second World war and head of United States air force groups tin and around China during the war. A

Man, a native of Prince Rupert. said the group would move into any trouble spot in the Far Elw- and help the fight against com- munlsm.

"The Russians supposedly sent in volunteers in the Korean war so that's what we would amount to-volunteers from the free na- tions." he said in an interview Wednesday.

”Public opinion is against the plan right now, but our job is to convince people that it's a good project."

Man said the group will try to obtain support from Western gov- ernments to buy planes and sup- plies.

Claims Were Forced To lose Korean War

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP)-a retireu air force general has told a Senate sub-committee here tnat "we were required to lose" the Korean war.

He was l.t.-Gen. George E. Stratemeyer, now living in nearby Winter Park after a heart attack in 1951.

The senate internal security sub- committee heard him in closed aes- sins Tuesday and open session

ednesday.

Stratemeycr told the committee that "state department and politi- cal interference kept us from win- ning the war."

Stratemeyer said that as head of the Far East air force under Gen. Douglas MacArthur "I wasn't per- mitted to do a job and certainly MacArthur was handcuffed."

"We never had enough ground troops but we could have won with what we had on the ground and in the air if we had been allowed to use it wisely from a military standpoint.”

Strntcmcyer said his planes were forced to bomb bridges across the Yaiu river crossways instead 01 lengthwise "so we would not violate the Manchurian and Siberian bor- lciers."

By PAUL SCOVIT RANKIN!

WASHINGTON (CP) - Francis American relations today appeared to have reached their lowest point since the end of the second World War. '

Beneath black headlines, "France snubs U.S.," Washingtonlans read accounts of the spurning by Pre- mier Pierre Mendes-France of U.-B. diplomatic efforts to persuade him to stake the future of his govern- ment on the French National As- sembly's ratification of the Euro- pean Defence Community treaty.

In the some papers they read a statement by State Secretary Dul- les, placing the responsibility upon France for the failure of the Brus- sels EDC conference and warning that France was in danger of iso- lating itself from the free world.

It would be necessary to go back to the wartime disputes between President Roosevelt and General de Gaulle to match the present atmosphere of bitter frustration.

EDC has been the keystone of U.S. foreign policy for four years.

PRESIDENT HUMILIATED

In terms of US. domestic pol- itics in this comgrcssional election year, the humiliating setback which Mendcs-France is delivering to the Eisenhower administration over EDC is greater than that which he delivered a month ago by negotiating a peace in Indo- China which the U.S. could not approve.

Administration spokesmen have described how when the Republi- cans camc into power they found EDC bogged clown, and brought it to life.

They have stated that the failure to realize EDC could mean the collapse of the hopes and efforts that inspired the Marshall plan, the North Atlantic treaty and the mutual security program, all pro- jects successiully launched and carried through by the Truman administration.

The collapse of the Eisenhower- Dulies European policies would leave them open to the charge that they had failed even to reap where the Democrats had labor- iously and successfully sown.

From both the short-term and long-term points of view the re- sults of French failure to rzitify EDC would be Cai..lSl.I0pillC.

FRENCH WARNED

In terms of immediate practical politics and supplies, the French are on notice form the US. Con- gress-as Dulles reminded them- that U.S. assistance to Friincc will stop next January if France does not ratify the treaty.

It would be difficult for Con- gress to permit its bluff to be called without fulfilling its threat.

In terms of diplomatic align- ments, the French position has al- ready resulted in a split of the free world, acknowledged by Dul- lcs Tuesday when be firmly put the US. in the Brussels dispute on the side of two of its wartime foes, Germany and Italy, and the

Benelux countries against France, its wartime ally.

Opinion in the French National Assembly would presumably be even more opposed to German re-

an European Defence Community than under it. Congress opinion is strongly com- mitted to the view that Western Europe cannot be defended with- out some form of German military contribution. The potentialities for Franco-American differences after the disappearance of EDC are therefore even greater than those which have already developed.

as the people all over Europe have long known its value. But he did believe that an important item was to get more Europeans here in this country to do their buying.

Mr. Shields, who only recently returned to Canada. from a. trip to Europe, said the average Eur- opean buyer only went to a fur show one day and for this reason it was necessary for the associa- tion representatives to go to the stores and designers.

Dr. E. R. Bowness, Toronto Ele-

, vators Limited, asked the breeders

present not to be too critical of what they termed a lack of re- search. He sold this was already going on and particular attention was being paid to the health and general diet of mink.

He also warned the breeders a- gainst thc practice of "picemeai" expenditure of money on research He stated a lot will being done in Ontario now.

EMBA SALES

There was also considerable pri- vate discussion regarding the hold- ing of EMBA sales in Canada and a notation that many breeders in this country were having deduc- tions made from their own sales while not being members of the association.

It was proposed that a style show be held in Calgary Ill Novem- ber with financial aid from the association. Members discussed this at length but a final decision will be reached at the executive meet- ing this morning.

The retiring president, Mr. J. C. Martin, St. Marys, Ontario, briefly addressed the gathering be- fore rellnquishing office to express his appreciation of the associa- tion he has had with the Mink Breeders Association and Dl'0il'il5- ing all the oo-operation he could give to the incoming executive.

Among the many speakers heard briefly yesterday were Messrs. Kenneth Montgomery, Alberta; Cliff Brown, Ontario; Orville Gril- fin, Saskatchewan; Robert Col- iings British Columbia; J. Hutchi- son, Quebec; Charles Combs, Bri- tish Columbla; Russ Gregory. Man- itoba: and Joseph Connolly, New Brunswick. Non delegates entering the considerations included Dr Bowness, and Messrs Arthur Pren- tice and Percy Noble, Montreal.

Following the deliberations last night the Mink Breeders Associa- tion played host at a. lobster sup- per held at Birch Court, Experi- mental Farm. Today a number of them are going to visit Souris as guests of the Eastern Packing Company to inspect the company

The official, who asked not to be named, said "the harbor front is in good condition and the sieve- dores are doing a good job.” When the seaway is completed in four years time, "we'll still have the same number of ships coming here."

He said Halifax could be sure of the coastal trade, ships from the far east, and about the same number of passengers

Halifax, meanwhile, has been preparing for another season as a winter port, and prospects are reported good.
