U. N. Questions Red Proposal For Conference

By George McArll:ur

PANMUNJOM, Korea. (AP) - Communist insistence that a poll- tical conference he the court of last resort for 48.500 war prison- ers balklng at a return to Red rule lloomed ever larger today as ohe chief stumbling block toward a Korean truce agreement.

Unanswered United

Nations

., questions on this and other can-

troversial points of the latest Red proposal were high on the agenda.

as the two truce teams scheduled - another session.

The Reds answered a few ques- tions and the UN team asked more at Sunday's 59-minute meeting.

Reds Confident

The Reds said in a brief: Communist representatives with "explanations"

while they are in custody of A proposed flvt-nation neutral com- mission. it isn't likely there will be any left unwilling to return home, but just in case there might be. the political conference will settle lJhPll' fate.

The UN command declared the Communist assumption that no prisoners would refuse to return home after proper explanations "more than doubtful as to its vall- dity."

Forced To Listen?

The UN negotiators then ask- ed how many Com.munisi.s would be used to make the "explana- tions" and whether the baiky prisoners would be forced to listen.

The UN obviously was concern- ed lest the Reds attempt to a.p. ply mental and physical coercion on the reluctant captives.

Without answering. the Reds called for a. recess until today.

Festival Ass'n Receives Warm congratulations

As the last session of the miisival Festival at the Community Centre ended Saturday morning. Ad.uidlrti- tor Earle Tcrry congratulated the Aasociation. particularly the many members who had worked behind the scenes and kept the festival running smoothly. "He commented especially upon the fine spirit of the festival. saying that he was taken by the fun and enjoyment which seemed to characterize fest- ivals throughout the Mariilmes generally and here in particular, overshadowing the highly compet- itive spirit which sometimes seem- ed to dominate festivals in larger centres.

Fifteen young boys were. heard in a class at the Community Centre. when the test piece was "What Shall We Do With the Drunken Sailor," and the winner was Gwyn Phillips of Summcrslde. Mr. Terry. adjudlcating the class gathers all the contestants on the platform for a lesson in interpreting the song with the proper spirit. and the result proved to be ll. most enjoy- able feature. of the momlng.

In the other class at the Com- munity Centre for iris of seven years and under. Florence Mac- Donald of Montague and Lynne Hayes of Charlottetown were the first place winners of the vocal solo "A Cradle song."

Sees Provincial Rights One Issue In Federal Election

QUEBEC, (CF) -George Drew. Progressive Conservative leader, said Saturday provincial rights will be one of the main issues of the. coming national election cani- paign.

In a speech prepared in French for delivery before party mem- bers, Mr. Drew said his party "has faith in the federal system be- cause it served as the historic foundation of national unity."

"I have faith in such a. regime because centralized power entails serious dangers," he said.

Mr. Drew said although the Sec- ond World War ended long ago the federal government has no inten- tion of rcnouncing its system of taxation agreements with the pro- vinces. i

"It now has been confirmed that the government intends to perpetuate these agreements. The government has said they should be perpetuated. That is the ques- tion at stake. That is the problem facing all those who have faith in the federal regime. It is squea- tion that will be decided during the forthcoming elections."

"The Progressive Conservative party program is to preserve our constitution. to preserve national unity, to preserve these traditions and ancient. rights expressed in the sacred constitution of 1867 . . . that is the question on which the Canadian people will be called to vote."

At the outset of his speech, set. ting the tone of the Progressive Conservative campaign in Quebec. Mr. Drew said Quebec is the cradle of the constitution and the province has emerged as a symbol of unity.

"Our federal system is threat- ened today by advocates of a cen. tral government. The no-called Liberal party no longer is the lib. eral party. It is the party of cert. trallzsrs. It believes in central. isslion. It believes in power. It 11096! to stay in power by central. 1110! all Canadian affairs mom and more in the hands of the central government."

Recalls Official Drawing

Later in the day, W. Cheater S. McLure, Progressive Conserva- tive member for Queen's returned to the issue of the Charlottetown Federal building. He reminded Mr. Fournler that in an edition of The Guartiian upwards of two years ago. there was a reproduc- lion of an official architertls drawing of the new proposed siruclure.

Revolt Against Slalinism

momentum daily in Moscow. But in the long run. it bodes no good for the West.

For the time being. it. would cause the leadership to move cautiously and play for time But if and when the revolt is com- plete, it can mean a sharp shift away from Stalin's guarded isola- tlonlsm, ultimately toward a more active Soviet role in stimulating revolution abroad.

Revealing Dispatch

The revealing Moscow dispatch brought the information that the order of the. Red Banner of Labor was awarded Grigmtli Ivanovich Petrovsky for his "services to the Soviet state."

Petrovsky was a close friend of Lenin. a revolutionary long before the 1917 upheaval in which Bol- shevlsm seized power.

In 1926, at the time of the airtig- gle for power between Stalin and Trotsky. Petrovsky was an altern- ate member of the all-powerfiil Politburo. At the same time he

Would Pleiteni Embargoesln Trade Grievances

OTTAWA, (CF) - Canada and! the United States have agreed to explore the possibilitiy of creating a new joint board or committee to resolve trade grievances without resorting to embargom. Prime Minister St. Laurent, re- turning from a two-day state visit to Washington, told the Com- mons Saturday that the proposal was made in his discussions with President Eisenhower. At the president's request. Ex- ternal Affairs Minister Pearson and U. S. State Secretary Dulles will look into the possibility of developing such an organ, similar to the Canada-U. S. Joint defence board. All grievances on trade between the two coiintries would be refer- red to the board or committee for. study. The board would recom- mend to both countries methods under which the grievances could be settled without the need for restrictions.
