C. P. R. Charges Smokescreen

MONTREAL (CP) — CPR Vice- president D. I. McNeill Sunday charged the railway firemen’-s un- ion with laying a smoke screen to confuse railway employees and the Canadian public.

Mr. McNeill, i-n charge of per- sonnel, referred to a statement made last Friday «by W. E. Gamble of Montreal, Canadian vice-president of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and En- ginewmen (CLC).

c-aesium and cobalt -— nuclear bomb-test byproducts most likely to cause genetic damage to fu- ture generations.

The Netherlands public health ministry declared: “The possibil- ity cannot be excluded of a small number of people throughout the world becoming victims to atomic explosions.

Most experts monitoring radio- activity linked the increase to the final Soviet -test series that pre- ceded Russia’s March 31, an- nouncement that it was suspend- ing such explosion-s.

PEAK DAYS OF TEST

Soviet testing reached one peak between Feb. 23 and 27 when at least three hydrogen ‘devices were exploded and another be- tween March 14 and 22 when at least six atomic bombs were tested.

. A Dutch le-gislator demanded the West European Ministerial Con 11 e il investigate a Danish press report that Russia sus- pended tests because a weather forecasting error caused a “ca- tastrophic mishap” in its. last series and made Soviet leaders afraid to risk more explosions._.

Reports in a survey made by Reuters did not contain support for the Danish report.

Here is a summary of experts’ reports:

Britain —— An Atomic Energy Authority spokesman said the boost in radioactivity was no- ticed throughout the world and was due to short-lived fission pro- ducts that apparently came from the Rius-si-an tests and had no biological significance. .

West Germany — '1'-he govern- ment’s central we ather oztfice said that “doubtless the results of the latest Soviet tests," radio- activity over some parts of the country was 10 times above nor- mal in the last week of March and first week of April. ‘ ‘

Norway — “lit is not merely jou»rn'ali-stic exaggeration to talk of an atomic cloud over»Euvrope," said Dr. P. T. Hvinden, a direc- tor of the Norwegian Defence Re- search Instrltute. He reported radioactivity in the last few weeks boosted by up to 10 times in the average for the closing months of 1957.

Dietenbaker

In Interview

OTTAWA (CfP) — Prime Min- ister Diefeubaker found himself in an “I never said it” sequence during the weekend and the rec-

ord appeared to hear him out.

The question: Did Mr. Diefen- baker ever say it was Progres- sive Conservative govern- ment policy to divert to the United Kingdom 15 per cent of Canada’s United States trade?

Mr. Diefenbaker said Saturday night in an interview that he had stated that if such a switch were made it would have effects that would be “desirable.” He had never said it was Progressive Conservative policy that it would be done.

Further, he said Saturday, the 15 per cent was taken simply as an illustration of what could be accomplished if that much trade could be diverted.

“If we could see this done that would be $580,000,000 to $600,000,- 000 which would bring about a ‘reasonable‘ deficit in our trade relations with the United States and at the same time assure cur- rency for the United Kingdom to buy goods from us."

PEARSON QUESTION The question was raised in To- ronto Friday night by federal Liberal leader Lester B. Pearson, speaking at an Ontario provincial L i b e r al leadership convention which later chose John Winter- meyer of Kitchener to succeed Farquh-a-r J. Oliver as ch-ieftain. Mr. Pearson, quoting from the April 18 issue of the magazine U. S. News and World Report, erad a denial by Mr. Diefentba- ker that the Progressive Conserv- atives had suggested a 15 — per- cent diversion in trade. . Said‘ Mr. Pearson: “That was one of their cardin-al policies." Mr. Diefentbalter said Saturday night that on the contrary, that w a s 3. construction" placed upon what he’~did say. ' .

He was confident that a check

15 PC Trade

Explains Stand On Saturday

the misvsionls departure, said: “Prime Minister Diefenbaker said today that Canada’s huge. deficit in trade with the United States constitutes an ‘ultimate danger to this country.’

“He made the statement at a press conference at Montreal’: Dorval Airport where the 50-man Canadian trade mission gathered for its flight to Britain. . . .

Mr. Diefenbaker told reporters that Canada imports too much from the United States without sharin-g to the same extent in ex- ports to the U. S. That, he said, is the reason why this mission

nadian imports from the U. S. to Britain-is so important. . . .

“He recalled that last July he had expressed a hope that Can- ada might be able to _divert 15 per cent of her imports from the U. S. to Britain. He earnestly be- lieved that a major part of this hope will in time be achieved."

DID NOT REFUTE

He knew he was being misin- terpreted by those who referred to the 15-per-cent diversion as a government policy, Mr. Diefenba- ker said Saturday night, but as far as he was concerned the rec-

“‘both-ered” to speak to the point in the House of Commons.

“But in that (magazine) inter- view I was asked whether the 15 per cent was a hard - and - fast rule and the answer I am quoted as giving is correct. I have said the same thing on previous occa- sions.”

The magazine quotes the ex- change on that ‘point:

ada actually will divert 15 per cent of its trade from the U. S. to Britain?"

Answer: “At no time did we say that we were going to divert 15 per cent. I said, as an ex- ample, that if 15 per cent were

in our trade with the U. S. and,

on reports of a press conference he gave last July 6, on return from a Commonwealth plrme ministers conference in London-, would show he never had said the government would divert 15 per cent. That press conference was the first time the matter was‘ voiced.

What he had said, the prime minister added, was that such a shift was “de-sirable."

“Then they went to work and placed this construction on it."

QUOTES REPORT

A Canadian Press dispatch re- porting the July 6 press confer- ence quoted Mr. Diefenbaker on that point:

“He would like to see about 15 per cent of Canada’s. imports from the United States diverted to Britain to give that country more dollars with which to buy Canadian goods. He did not think this would be ‘detrimental’ to Canada-U. S. bu/siness gen- erally."

On Friday Mr. Pearson refer- red specifically to a “press con- ference" he said Diefenba- ker gave in Montreal la"t Nov- ember when the, trade mission led by Trade Minister Gordon Churchill and Toronto power ex- ecutive James S. Duncan left for the United Kingdom.

“Apparently it was all a fig- ment of our Liberal imagination” he said, linking the “press con- ference” with Mr. Diefenakbcr’sf subsequent denial in the mag- azine ‘interview.

Mr. Diefenbaker said Saturday night there was no press confer‘ ence on that occasion, although he did speak to reporters as the mission took off. He would stand by the remarks he made then.

DANGER TO COUNTRY A Canadian Press

at the same time, assure us mar- kets that are virtually non-exits- ent today.” .

‘One thing I know," Mr. Diet- enbaker added Saturday night, “is what I say-—I am very care- ful about my word-ing.”

Search during the weekend into files of press conference state- ments, otf-the-cuff comments to reporters, or House of Commons stories produced no report of Mr Diefenbaker actually saying that such a diversion was government policy.

CONSEQUENCE POSSIBLE

-In effect, those checked boiled down to a hypothetical proposi- tion that if such a switch were to develop, certain consequences would follow.

A Canadian Press story Oct. 4 quoted Peter Thorneycroft, then chancellor of the British exc'he- quer, at an Ottawa press confer- ence the day before on conclu- sion of U. K.-Canada trade talks:

“Mr. Thorney-croft r e c a 1 1 ed that Mr. Diefenbaker has expres- sed the hope Canada might be able to switch 15 per cent of her imports from the U. S. to the U.,K.
