New Zealand

-OTTAWA. Jan. 10 --(CP) --The Federal Government announced today is decision to buy another 2.500.000 pounds of butter from New zealand. raising to 17,000,000 the amount Canada is importing this winter.

The Agricultural Products Board has been authorized to take up 2,500,000 pounds of the 5.000.000- pound option it holds with the New Zealand dairy products mar- keting commission. The butter will be delivered in Canada in late February or early March.

Agricultural officials said the price to be paid will be approxim- ately 62 cents a pound laid down in this country, This means the butter will retail for aboutt: 70 cents.

The purchase will bring to 12.- 5oo.ooo pounds the amount the

overnmcnt imported this winter

rom New zealand, Ausralla. Sweden and Denmark to bolster domestic supplies. In addition.

the trade has imported 4,500,000 pounds. bringing the grand total to 17,000,000.

Butter stocks at Jan. 1 were more than 6.000.000 pounds high- er than the corresponding date a year ago. However. last year some 5.000.000 pounds had to be im- ported during February and March, The government decided to bring in another 2,500,000 pounds to make sure there is enough to go around.

Canadian butter production dur- ing the last three months has been 1.1 per cent higher than the corresponding period a year ago while consumption has been 3.8 per cent lower.

"It seems clear," the Agricult-

UITAWA. Jan. 10 - (CP) - Parliament Hill reacted amazement and amusement today to the statements of Congressman Timothy sheehan (Rep. 111.) who wants Canada annexed to the United States.

Mr. Sheehan's ideas about 20th century Canada were termed "fantastic" both by a. member of parliament and a senior official of the External Affairs Depart- ment. i

In introducing a bill in Con- gress to explore the possibilities of Canada being annexed to the U.S., Mr. Sheehan said he "does not propose creation oi a new no- tion" and that Britain should be paid "for giving up all rights and interests in Canada."

Parliament Hill's "rather scath- ing retorts were bend on these three facts:

1. Canada is and has been an independent nation for a fair amount of time.

2. The day when Britain would have to be paid for giving up any rights or interest: in Canada has long since passed away.

s. Fear of annexation by the U. S. was one of the big factors that helped confederate Canada in 1807. There has never been any substantial indication that an-

Whole riiiiy Vliped Out In Early Morning

ST. JOHN'S, Nfld.. Jan. 1'! - (OP)-An American navy couple. their two small children and a Newfoundland girl died early to- day when fire crept through their frame dwelling here. ,

The vlctoms, trapped on the second floor of the two-storey building, were: Lt.-Cmdr. Victor Hampshire. Salt Lake City, Utah; his wife. their only children, Carl. 5. and Paul. 7: and Katherine Gus- hue, 17. a servant.

Police Constable Eric Stoylee. the family's next door neighbor. heard a scream in the pre-dawn darkness and tried without suc- cess to break down the front door, near the kitchen. where the fire is believed to have started.

He went around to the back of the rented home and forced an entrance. Before going inside. he heard a light tapping on an up- stairs window.

Disirict Fire Chief Michael Caddigan said,l.oday it appeared that all but the youngest child had made a struggle to escape.

The father was found lying on the floor of his bedroom, cut around the arms and head from an attempt to break the window. His wife and their eldest son were found near the bed.

Chief Caddigan said she had ap- parently taken the child from the double-decker cot in the room where the boys slept. then collaps- ed. The body or the younger child was found in his bed with the cov- ers drawn book.

The body of the girl was lying on the floor or the I-iampshlres' bedroom. she had previously broken the inside window in her own room but apparently was un- Fggle to shatter the outside storm

Police said he bodies were not humed badly and the victims i'.nd suffered from smoke and searing heat which melted paint on the bedroom walls.

"it is fantastic that anyone in his position could be so ignorant of Canada's background and posi- iion. He apparently thinks we can be bought as the U.S. bought Alaska from Russia 05 years ago. Mr. Shcchan's ideas are, to say the least, ill-conceived but there is one consolation: they Cartalfilyi don't represent general American. opinion."

Georgetown Town Council Prefers Oldtime System

At the regular meeting Monday night of the Georgetown Town Council a motion was passed that the council "Support the stand of the delegation headed by T. J. Kickham regarding the, -back to rail mail service."i'

The motion was moved by Councillor Raymond Solomon and

seconded by Councillor Patrick Murphy. it was supported by Councillors Emerson Llewellyn

and Guy Hemphill. One Councillor Andrew MacNeiil abstained from voting.

Mayor P. L. Eoudrenult presid-

ed. and gave his support to the motion. Moving the resolution Council- lor Solomon said he had found his mainland mail was slow by one day under the truck system. He mentioned particularly pension and family allowance cheques.

In addition the truck service had put one man out of a job at Georgetown. the driver of a truck which took the mail from the stu- tion to the post office. In winter he found the truck service not as reliable as the train service, but had already missed two days last week.

Mayor Boudreault said the truck service was not so satis- factory for outgoing mail as the train, as wiili the truck the mall arrived nt noon and the mail was delivered at 1 p.m. However, the truck goes directly back and does not get answering mail to cor- respondence recelved. With the train the mail arrived about 6.30 in the evening and then left at 7 a.m. the next dziy so that an outgoing answer could be prepar- ed in the meantime.

Councillor MacNeill in abstain- ing from voting said he felt the whole matter of the mail service was not a thing to be decided upon by several town bodies. He suggested a plebiscite of the whole county should be taken.

Ho felt that the postal depart- ment nt Ottawa had not received any direct complaints before the Klckham delegation went to Ott- awa. Slnce the Postal Department had stated it was trying the truck service as an experiment it was only fair to give its-try. and in time they might be able to fix up some of the difficulties.

The following resolution was passed yesterday after- noon at a. special meeting of the Sourlo Board of Trade, at which there was a. large attendance including Mr. Thomas J. Kickham, M.P., and Mr. Brenton St. John, M.L.A.:

"Whereas the Souris. Board of Trade has previously gone on record as favoring an improvedmnd faster mail

"Whereas the service recently inaugurated through the medium of trucks was definitely an improved and fas-

within the limits of the town

"Whereas this truck mail service has now been dis-

”Whereas the Canadian National Railways are now serving the town of Souris with express and l.c.l. freight

"Be it therefore resolved that the Souris Board of Trade recommend that in lieu of the present baggage car mail service to Souris by tri-weekly freight in the winter months, that the daily mall trucking service be restored. "Copies of this resolution to be sent to Mr. T. J Kickhnm, M.P., and Mr. F. A. Coyle, postal inspector, Chor-

The resolution was moved by Mr. R. C. MacLean and seconded by Mr. C. R. White.

(The tri-weekly service referred to above. operates during the winter to Souris. in addition to the regular afternoon train.)

Mr. W. A. Wright, who is the postmaster at Sourls and also pre- sldcnt of the Board of Trade, pre- sldcd when the meeting opened but Mr. Bruce Stewart took the choir while the discussion of the mail service was under way.

Speakers strongly in favor of the truck service were Messrs. Bruce Stewart. R. C. MacLean, N. H. Richards. and R. A. Leard.

Mr. Wright. the postmaster. ex- plained the workings of the sys- tem. via iruck and train.

Mr. Stewart MacAulay said he found delay in mail service under the trucks.

Mr. T. J. Kickham. M.P., said he had supported a return to the train service because he had re- ceivcd "so many" letters rom- pininlng of the truck service from rural boxhclders. Asked if he had any letters from those supporting the service. he said "N .

Asked how he knew the ma- jority was not in favor of the truck service when he had only one side of. the picture, Mr. Kickham said he was "going by the number of letters received."

Mr. Brenton St. John, M.L.A., who was a member of the dele- gation headed by Mr. Kickham which had the slow train mail service restored. said he too had complaints from residents of rural sections of delay under the truck service, particularly in letters go- ing out.

World Conquest Unhealthy Venture

PARIS, Jan. 16 -(CP) -Justice Minister Stuart Carson of Canada today warned Russia that if she tries to sovietize the rest of the free world-as she has done to much of Europe-it will prove "an exceedingly unprofitable and un- healthy venture".

In one of the

most forthright

speeches heard in the United Nations political committee, the leader of Canada's U, N. delegat-

ion denounced arguments by the Soviet Foreign Minister, Andrei Vishinsky, as not those of an in- telligent man.

Fairy Story

Vishlnsky's "fairy story" about American plans to dominate the world is a piece of "colossal im- pudence that insults the intelli- gence of every delegate in the United Nations," Carson said.

In the fourth day of debate on the Soviet "peace plan," Carson told the Russians:

”It you want peace, good. so do we. You say you fear our ag- gression. well, quite frankly, we fear yours. Let us see what we can do to banish these fears on both sides."

Garson said that on the surface there is nothing new in Vishinsky's concession Saturday to Western demands for atomic control to in- dlcate that tl!ls Soviet agreement was made in good faith.

He asked Vishinsky whether he wants an effective system of in- ternational control coming into operation at the same time that the prohibition of atomic weapons comes into operation.

Garcon said he would support the Western resolution to refer the Russian proposals to the new- ly-established disarmament corn- mission.

These proposals would declare an unconditional ban on the atom bomb coupled with simultaneous control, a five-power peace pact, incompatibility of the Atlantic Pact with U, N. membership and an end to the war in Korea with the withdrawal of foreign troops within three months. -

New T.-opoaala Coming

The United states announced it will present important new pro- posals on control of atomic energy to the disarmament commission when the commission begins work in New York in a few weeks.
