NEW YORK. (AP)--state secre- tary Dulles says the free world should take "united action” 'to pre- vent Communist conquest of Indo- china and all Southeast Asia.

"This might involve serious risks". he said Monday night. ”But these risks are far less than those that will face us it few years from now, if we dare not be res- olute today."

Dulles spoke out. with the ad- vance approval of President Eisen- hower, in a major U. 8. foreign policy address on the communist threat in the Far East.

He declared in a national radio and television address prepared for delivery before the Overseas Press Club that if the Reds should WII1 control over any substantial part of Indn-China ”they would surely resume the same pattern of aggression against other free peoples in the area."

"Grave Threat"

"Communist control of Southeast Asia could carry a grave threat. to The Philippines, Australia and New Zcaland. with whom we have treaties of mutual assistance." he said.

”The entire western Pacific area. including the so-called 'ofi- shorei island chain. would be strat- egically endangered."

Dulles said the U. 5. government has no intention of granting dip- lomatic recognition to Communist China or voting for its entry into the United Nations

Giving Ii preview of the Ameri- can position at the April 26 Geneva peace conference on Korea and Iitdo-China, Dulles said:

"We hope that any lndo - China discussion will serve to bring the Chinese Communistahto see the danger of their apparent design for the conquest of Southeast Asia, so that they will cease and de-

of water cascading into the shaft from an unknown source for un- derground.

A flow of water that began with a trickle from a break in the roof several weeks ago had by last week grown to a roaring deluge.

Company officials say an eight- inch pump put into action over the weekend turned the trick. and that the worst is passed. Previ- ously pumpa at the end of two- inch pipes and a converted six- inch air compressor pipe were un- able to check the rising flood.

some mechanical equipment was under water in more than half of

Abboll lldpes To Introduce legislalion Soon

0'I'1'AWA, rcei -- -mg, govprn. ment plans to increase grants paid to municipalities in place of local taxes on federal property.

Finance Minister Abbott told the Commons Monday he hopes to in- troduce legislation next week to amend the Municipal Grants Act. He gave no details, but said the amendments to the act will make it somewhat more favorable.

He made the statement in reply to a request by G. E. Mccullough (CCF-Moose Mountain) for an increase in the present grants. Municipalities now receive grants if federal property comprises four per cent or more of a community's total assessment. The federal gov- ernment assesses the. value of the property.

Mr. Abbott told Stanley Knoifes tCCF-Winnipeg North Centrei the government will continue to make its own valuations.

Authorize Expendlturea

The question arose as the Com- mons dcalt with supplementary estimates of spending totalling s9B.2l4..'i50 for the fiscal year end- ing Wednesday, March 31.

The House authorized the ex- penditures. in addition to estimates of 34.433.466.000 already approved. In addition, the government has spent about 000,000,000 in old age security payments during the 1953- 54 year. which are covered by a special tax.

The Commons also provided it cash advance of 530,945,824 for the government to pay bills dur- in: the next two months.

The interim supply bill was cleared through the Commons in a matter of minutes. It will he considered by the senate '-today. The cash advance is needed bo- ciiiise Parliament has not yet. voted the total of 34.491.751.000 in main estimates for the coming fiscal years starting April 1.

AEC Mali-e? Brief Need Motels says Premier

As controversial Tourist

"I believe the future of the four- lst industry lien in the motel line not in the construction of cabins as has been the custom during the past five years." slated Premier

A. W. Matheson yesterday after- noon during the discussion on tourist accommodations in the Legislature.

The Premier outlined his views

.on the controversial tourist, indus-

try as the LPglSIalllTB was civin: a second rr-arllnsz to a h:II Pl'llllIP-Ti ”An Act. to Provide Loans for the Estabiisliment. and Improvenient. of

'Tnurlst Accommodation within the

Province. The Premier commenced his considerations by saying that lie

i believed the Leader of the Opposi-

tion was wrong when he thought

more cabins should be built on the North Shore. "The Norih Shore. area serves

the lniirist. trade from the first ten davs in Jilly tn the last of August and no one living can make a go of any such business which lasts less than two months." he stated.

”There are changes in the west- her that will not keep the people in cabins aftr-r the first of Sci)- lrff'lI)f'l'. We need accommodations that will prnvirie ii cortain amount of heat and the aliswi-r lies in motels not cabins." said the Prem- ier.

According to the bill which was given if second reading yesterday the Govt-rnnient will be a.ut.horizt-d to grant loans during the coming year from a fund of 3100.000. The maximum loan which may be ob- talned by one person is 340000 and the loan may not exceed 50”? of this cost of the proposed ac- commodation.

Thu money lniay be loaned for a Jr-rm or terms not to exceed fifteen years and at A rate of In- terest, of at least four. and one half per cent. Among the members on this 'llouri.-t Loan Committee to look offer this fund will he one member of the Executive Council and others to he appointed.

This is the first time that an Ari has been set up to administer the loan it was revealed yesterday. Prcvlously the Legislative author- ity to grant. money for tourist loans was granted only when it came to passing the mallet!" in the estimates. The object of the new Art is to provide closer Leg- lslaiivn control over the matter, it was stated by the Premier.
