Vice iiegal Party Enjoying Vacation

Viscount Alexander. Indy Alex- ander and family have greatly en. joyed the first two weeks o! their vacation in Prince Edward Island. it was learned yesterday.

The Governor General had as his companion on his first deep- see fishing trip in the waters off Dalvsy. Lieutenant-Governor 'J. A. Bernard. but though the Lieuten- ant-Governor is far from being a novice in the art of hooking either mackerel or codfish. neither he nor the Governor-General was lucky enough to land a fish.

In the meantime, it is understood the Governor-General is making considerable use of ~his army jeep and is seeing large sections of the countryside at close range.

Last Sunday he end Lady Alex- ander and children attended div. ine service at St. Peter's Cathedral in the City.

British Minister Blasts Russia

GENEVA. July 2'7 — (Reuters) -Hector McNeil, British Minister of State, today ttacked Russia's "shrieking, shouting campaigns of propaganda" against the Euro- pean Recovery Program in an ad- dress to the United Nations Econ- omlc and Social Council here.

Earlier the Soviet delegate, Amazask Ariutiunian, accused the United States of deliberately creating an atmosphere of inter- national tension to enslave west- ern Europe by the Marshall plan.

McNeil vigorously denied an- other charge by Ariutiunlan that the European Recovery Program agreement had caused Britain to slow up nationalization of steel.

‘on the referendum from Sir Gor- don Macdonald, the Governor of Newfoundland. This may take sev- eral days. Until then, the Cab- inet's discussions must be on an informal basis. Meanwhile, Cah- inet sources are extremely caut- ious in their reaction to the re- ferendum, in keeping with Can- ada's attitude since confederation became an issue in Newfoundland more than s. year ago. and com- ment of any sort is sparse.

One high Government official closely linked with the question was asked whether he thought the 8,000-vote margin for con- federation would be regarded by the Government as sufficient to indicate clearly that union with Canada was the choice of the Newfoundland people.

He considered the question and gave this carefully-worded reply:

"Well, in a democracy you nev- er can hope to get a ioo-per-ceni. majority on any issue. You must take whet you can get."

This comment, brief though it was. was taken to indicate that the Government might be satLs- fied with the confederation mar- 8111- . It is known that the Govern- ment has been watching editorial comment across the country cars- fully and has noted that the press reaction generally is that the Newfoundlanders, even if by a small margin, have spoken for union in a democratic referen- dum.

Responsible circles here express the belief that Newfoundlandb commission government has no alternative now but to recommend that Newfoundland be brought into union with this country. That, they say, has been the choice of the majority and the Commission Government can take no other course.

"They reason that by the same token the Canadian Government. even by its silence on the ques- tion of s referendum. gave its approval to the holding of the vote and also has no alternative now but to accept Newfoundland‘: entry.

Some sources have pointed to Prime Minister Mackenzie King's statement last November. when a Newfoundland delegation was here discussing union terms, that Can- ada would accept the island col- ony only if her people indicated "clearly end beyond all possibility of misunderstanding" that that was their choice.

However, circles in Newfound- land have suggested that MinKing then was referring only to the first referendum. held early in June. in which three choices were on the ballot paper-confederat- ion, responsible government and a continuation of commission sov- emment-and none received a majority. Commission government was dropped in the second refer- endum.

It is could-etch significant that External Affairs inister St. Idli- rent on June Ill-after the first vote but before the second-made‘ e statement to the Commons which many observers took to be a modification of Canada's posit- ion.

He said:

"If the Government of New- foundland. hevinl consulted the population. "amounted to us that the population wished confederat- ion tc be consummated. l thin! we would not go behind that de- elsratlon to examine to what ex- tent they were Justified in making such e repreientsiion.‘
