LONDON, June 17-(Reuters) - Britnln's exports to North America last month were more than double the monthly average in the third quarter of 1949. it was revealed.

Harold Wilson. president or the Board of Trade, told the House of Commons in a monthly report that

efforts to Increase exports to North America are showing en- couraging results. particularly

those to Canada. In May. 8.800 British automobiles were sent: to Canada, compared with B pre-war yearly total of be- tween 1,200 and 1.300, he told a press conference.

Provisional estimates showed that during May 1220.600 383.860) worth of exports were sent. to North America compared wlrlfh a monthly average of 510.000.1100 during the third quarter of 19st) and iii-1,500,000 in April. 1950. Exports to Canada in May were valued at E12,-100.000 compared with 128,200,000 worth of goods sold to the United States in the same period.

Wilson said the value of all British exports in May was 2183.- 000.000. an increase of i5,-l00.000 over the March record after ad- justments in the different num- ber of working days in the re- spective months.

He revealed, however. that Brib- nln's imports of 22'28.800,00() in May were higher than any prev- ious month. The May imports raised the total for the first five months of 1950 to 14 per cent more than the some period last. year. After deducting re-exports, there was a 240,000,000 excess of imports over exports (or May.

Expressing satisfaction with en- gineering exports to Canada, Wil- son told reporters that further increases may be eXD8Cl9d- Tex" til had maintained their position in anada. cotton was up a little. Pottery and glass sales to the Unit- ed Stittes and Canada had risen to record figures, and chemicals had shown it ccnslderaible rise. More whisky had been sent. to both countries.

Most people were agreed. Wilson said, that with proper presentat- ion many more dollars could be earned. especially with Britain's best films.

independent Stand In House

By GEORGE KITCHEN

OTTAWA. June 1'1-(OP) - The official Opposition's military spok- esman rose in open rebellion to- day against ”his partyls strenuous protests that Trade Minister Howe is being given too sweeping pow- ers to make defence purchases in peacetime.

Later. outside the Chamber, he said he did so "in anger."

Maj.-Gen. G. R. Pearkes. V.C. (PC-Nanaimo), in one brief. em- phatic. fist-pounding moment, de- clared his belief that these are times that make wide powers nec- essary in the name of prepared- nP;SS.

Then he stalked out of the Com- mons Chamber.

The Liberal benches wilh startled applause.

J. M. Macdonnell (PC-Toronto Greenwood) arose and said his party was proud to possess men of independence and renewed the party's otherwise general criticism of a bill to arm Mr. Howe with wide powers to make purchases for defence.

There was little doubt that Gen. Pearl-res” outburst was in direct opposition to his party's stand, one tha-t leagued it with both other opposition parties yesterday in an unsuccessful vote against second reading of the bill.

He later told reporters he made his statement "in anger...at the way things were going" but de- nied that there is any wide cleav- age in the party's ranks over the incident. He said he feels that these are times when there must be wide powers to prepare the country for instant war.

In the House he said this:

Drastic Measures Needed

”I believe it is necessary for us to take measures in order to pre- pare our forces for the defence of this country such as we have nev- er had to take before."

He banged his desk with his list as he spoke and then immediately wheeled and strode out. He had been listening to his colleagues. for the second day'in a row, charging that Mr. Howe was ask- ing "dictatorial powers."

Later. the chamber gave the bill third and final reading "on divis- ion"-indicating disapproval with- out a formal vote-after beating down two opposition attempts to retain profit-limiting provisions of pre-war defence purchasing legis- lation.

H9. with Joe Podovlntkoff, his secretary. is on trial on charges of conspiracy to create dlsaffectlon through encouragement of nudism, refusal to send children to school and adultery.

Annie Koftinoff, who is serving a three-year term for nudism, was the witness today. She lived in the home for eight. months.

"We changed all the time," she explained to the court in telling of wife-sharing in the home "Michael changed ceaselessly."

Nudism and wife-sharing had been practised before .vei-lgin went to Krestova, but, said Mrs, Koftlnoff. "when Mike come he sort of awakened us, and gave us some push." g

Earlier Michael stopnikoff des- cribcd the home as a place where wives were interchanged on a. rot- ation basis,

A document presented to the court advocated that the Sons of Freedom "live like angels, with- out husband or wife."

Then the committee. by another standing count of 62 to 34, def.-'at- ed a motion by George Drew, Progressive Conservative leader, which would have kept the whole of the 1939 act in operation.

Mr. Howe. opposing .the profit- iimiting amendments. said the provision of the 1939 act had prov- ed unworkable.

The chamber advanced three more bills along their legislative way. It gave second reading to bils expanding the investment provisions of acts governing trust and loan companies and first read- ing to a bill to finance the annual C. N. R. deficit.

In the opening stages of the sit- ting. Justice Minister Garson dis- closed that the government is doubling the prison term of seven years provided under the official secrets act. Canada's anti-spy law. This will be done by amendment.
