Britain, Argentina Sign Trade Pact; U. S. Objects

BUIJNOS AIRES. June 2'1 —(AP) - Britain and Argentina today signed a five-year trade agreement ca; which the United States object-

The pact provides Britain with a large supply of meat and osila for Argentina to take quantities of British industrial products.

Britain will spend at minimum of £i20,000,000 ($510,000,000) annually for Argentina products and Argen- tina a minimum of £12i,535,000 an- nually for British products.

The United States has objected that the pact violates the spirit of free competitive international trade.

Marking the end of negotiations lasting four months and five days. rieaidont Juan Peron sharply rap- ped "outside criticism" in a short qleech at the ceremony.

He said both sides sought by av- ary means to conclude _a pact on multilateral principles but in vain.

Sir John Balfour. British ambas- aador, did not refer directly to the

United Btltdl protests but said the

two countries have found bilateral trading the only possible course. He said both countries are free to buy from the United States when they have dollars available.

The signing touched off sharp criticism among United States Sen- ators in Washinflton. who amid strong resentment would be creat- ‘ed among those who hoped the European Recovery Program would promote frcer world trade.

In Ottawa the general opinion was that the agreement will not hurt Canada. and there was sym- pathy for the attitude of the Unit- ed Kingdom. Ono official said the Dominion has little meat with which to supply Britain.

The agreement goes into effect July 1.

LONDON, Juno l’! - (Reuters) -- A.J. Jackson, secretary of the National Federation of Meat Trad- ers‘ Associations. said tonight that the British meat ration might be increased soon. ~

Liberals Win Big Victory In Quebec

QUEBEC, June 27—The Liberal Party scored one of its greatest Quebec victories in history in to- day's general election.

in 1935. the Liberals exceeded the the 245-n1eniher House of 1945.

built up a. seat-total so impressive

The towering avilanche of Lib- eral ballots flattened the Govern- ment's two rmlln opponcnts—the C. C.F. and the Progressive Con- servative Parties-and reduced their parliamentary strength far below what ii was in the last House. Only the Social Credit Party, strongly entrenched in Alberta for years, appeared to be even coping with the Liberal tide. It appeared l they might hold 10 of Alberta's 17 ‘ seats. They commanded 13 seats in the last Commons. ‘.

At the BO-per-cent mark in votei tabulation, more than one-half of, the popular vote was Liberal. Their percentage ‘at that point was 53.! against 31 for the Progressive Con- ,- servstlves. r Basically. the Liberal victory; turned on all-out support froml’ Quebec, where the Prdgresive COil-l servatlves had hoped—snd expect- ed - to make deep inroads with the support of the Provincial Gov- ernment of Maurice Duplessis. The llabitant preferred to vote for Que- bec's native son, Louis Stephen St. Lflllfflll. the first French-speaking Prime Minister since Sir Wilfrid Laurier, another Quebecer with vote-getting magic. , But the extent of the Liberal win was widened with an unexpected turn to the Liberals in the histor- ically-Conservatlve Province of Ontario. There, the Liberals won not only their own seats but also a number which were in the Pro- gressive Conservative column in the last House.

Gain In Saskatchewan

In prairie Saskatchewan, seat of s C.C.F. Provincial Government since 1946. the Government mark- ed up heavy gains. Herc. where the C.C.F. held 18 Federal seats in the last House. the Liberals cap- tured 13 and led in two others in the late tabulations. The 0C1‘. won four and the Progressive Con- servatives one. It appeared that the C.C.F. would come out of that Province with only four seats. With 1'1 more seats in the new House - there were 24.5 in the last it appeared that the Liberals would surpass their i940 election victory. when they retained 1'18 members against a combined op- position of 67 - the greatest maj- ority in Canadian history.

That 1940 triumph came under the leadership of Rt. Hon. William Lyon Mackenzie King, who fumed the Liberal leadership and the prime mlnistcrship over to Mr. St. Laurent last year and retired to private life.

Both Mr. St. Laurent and George Drew, Progressive Conservative leader, won personal victories in their home ridings.
