AIM AT DEFICIT

Trade Talk Is Needed: At Summit

TORONTO (CP)—Prime Minis-

the forthcoming summit meet- ings should give some attention to trade relations between Russia and the West.

“The governments of the West-

ern world are preparing to negoti-|”

ate with the Soviet Union in dis- armament and other fields,” he said. There was some hope that progress could be made in this difficult subject.

“Surely there is no reason why there should not be parallel pro- gress towards an improved basis for economic relations.”

The prime minister told the an- nual banquet of the Commercial Travellers’ Association of-Canada that the summit meetings “would be well advised to give adequate attention and study to the prob- lem -of establishing sensible and orderly trade relations between, the Soviet _Union and Western world countries.” ©

Text of his address was re- leased to the press in advance of | delivery.

greater stake than Canada in international trade which repre- sented nearly 30 per cent of its Gross National Product.

Trade between the Soviet Union and the West could sharpen pol- itical issues or could lessen the likelihood of canflict.

NO TAXES, EASY

DRINKS

Law-Fre

Wants No Rules

LUNDY (Reuters)—This gale- whipped islet off the English Coast, where residents pay no taxes and drink when they please, today was braced against main- land attempts to bring it the blessing of rules.

For hundreds of years, Lundy— population 13 including an infant- area 1% square miles—has gone its free and easy way without the benefit of statutes.

Then the members of the Devon County council, which runs the nearest English county to Lundy, got to fretting.

What, they said, would happen should some of the population of Lundy, which even at the height of the summer, tourist season seldom climbs_eyond 20, com- mit a serious crime?

JURISDICTION PROBLEMS

Who would act? Could the Devon police legally pursue their inquiries into the matter? And, if they did, would the Devon courts be empowered to bring the cul- prits before the bar of justice?

The solution, they felt, clearly was to make Lundy an admin- istrative part of Devon, 14 miles away.

Not so fast, said Lundy, through its self - appointed ambassador to the mainland, tavern - keeper Stanley Smith.

“Leave Lundy as it is,” de- clared the host of the “Marisco tavern.

SEEMS LIKE PARADISE

As things now are, Lundy—a one - time haven for pirates and refuge of seabirds — issues its own stamps, pays no taxes, has no laws drinking times, lacks telephones‘and cars, and educates its own children in a local farm- house.

Supporting the fight of Smith and the Lundyites is Albion Har- man, who inherited the \island with its farm, hotel, tavern, church,: stores, half dozen cot- tages, two lighthouses, two tele- vision sets and radio transmitter from his father.

Harman pledged that Lundy will “remain as they have always known it.”
