Covers Prince Edward Island Like the Dew Cl-IARLOTTETOWN. CANADA. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY, 13. .1951

(By Tom Ochliti-so) LONDON. Feb. la-.(AP)-Prime M,inisl.ei' Attlee today- demanded "full consultation omens United Nations members iighting lin Ko- "5, before Gen. MncAi-thurs forces (um across the Bath parallel.

H15 speech to the House of commons was made after reports from Korea had said south Korean pmols had crossed the 38th para- ue1,o1d occupation border between North and south.

Later official reports contra- gjcted the first accounts that u five-mile penetration had been made into North Korea on east coast. It appeared by the 1 reports that a fight had taken place on or close to the border.

Attlee raised an old issue be- tween Washington and London on how far Macai-thur'a forces should go. In this case the new offefislve by Chinese Communists in Central Korea may make the issue aca- iimiic .

Britain reluctantly agreed to the first crossing of the 38th par- allel late last year. Foreign Secre- tary Bevin especially counselled against the drive to the Man- churian and Siberian borders. critics here said the action pro- voked Communist China's inter- vention.

Today Attlee said MacArthur should refrain from re-crossing the parallel until there has been consultation with United Nations members, i ily those who are "contributing forces in Korea." British troops are in the first

"We are hoping that we may get negotiations leading up to a settle- ment in the fur East." he explain- ed. ”The door for negotiations should be kept open.” '

He said Britain has no intent- ion of backing down from its support of United Nations police action in Korea. But he remarked that Britain had "great. exper- fence in Asiatic affairs" and by this experience had an under- standing of the reasons for Chin- ese actions in Korea "however misguided they may appear."

Earlier Anthony Eden, deputy Conservative leader. in a speech critical of the Labor: Government, called for a plain declaration by the Western Powers that they would defend Yugoslavia from Communist aggression.

"We can best serve peace by warning any would-be aggressors of the consequences of their acts before they make them." said Eden.

Fur Companies Face Possible Shutdown

MONTREAL, Feb. 12 -(GIP)- Fifteen major fur companies in Toronto, Winnipeg and Montreal are faced with a. possible shut down Feb. 24 when some 1,400 workers in dressing and dyeing shops are scheduled to strike to

back their wage and hour de- msnds. Officials of.the International

Fur and Leather Workers' Union Canadian district, at a week-end meeting voted on the strike dead- line because. they said, "no scr- lous offer has been made by any of the employers."

The union and companies began negotiations for it new collective labor agreement last November.

The old contract expired at the end of 1950.

The workers seek a 25-cent hourly wage boost. Basic hourly

wages are approximately 78 cents in Montreal. so cents in Winnipeg and about 20 per cent higher in Toronto.

Commons Debates Growing Manpower Problem

MONTREAL, Feb. 12 - (CP) - Externai Affairs Minister Pearson today said the risk of war "is now very great."

Giving a solemn appraisal of the world situation to the Canadian Lumberma.n's Association, he said "I do not accept the thesis that war is inevitable. but at the same time draw attention to he fact that the Soviet Union may adopt tactics short of war which may have dam- aging effects upon our way of life."

Mr. Pearson wanted:

"We must be ready for the possi- bility that an overt at-tack may not come for many years but that, meanwhile. we and other coun- tries in the free world will be sub- jected to great tensions and pro- vocamiocis and exertions.

"We do not know enough about the present in-tesitions of those who direct the policies of the So- viet Union to determine which type of challenge - the direct or indirect - is more likely."

TORONTO. Feb. 12 - (CP) - George Drew. Progressive Con- servetive leader. last night pre- dicted tha-t 15,000,000 Ukrainians under Soviet domination will some day turn on their Russian "slave masters."

Saucers

Real, But Are Balloons '

100,000 feet. winds may sweep them along at 200 miles an hour. At dusk, the slanting rays of the sun lights up their bottoms, giving them a saucer-like appearance.

They carry instruments aloft to record what happens when cosmic rays hit atoms in'the earth's at- moaphere. This splitting gives a clue to how atoms are put to- gether. and how to release their energy.

"When this profject first began it was kept secret." the magazine quotes Dr. Liddel.

"The Liddel report is considered to be the most authoritative scien- tii:-: explanation of the flying- aaucer phenomenon. As far as Dr Llddel is concerned personally. he considers his answer incontrov- ortibly right." '

The balloons. called "skyhooks," were first sent aloft in 1047, and it was then that flat” saucer reports began. There were more balloons in the neat two years and more "saucers" seen. on were fewer bailoons sent up in 1050. and fewer saucer reports.

A picture. taken by telescope of a balloon at 'n,0o0-foot altitude over Minnesota. convinced Dr. Liddel even more. The photo fits descriptions of flying saucers.

At dusk on a cool summer even- ing is the West time to see the balloon " car." look adds.

Pearson Sees ' Grave Threat0fGeneralWar

He added that the main reason why the Soviet Union does not launch attacks on these areas may be the superiority of the United States in atomic weapons and the growing strength of Western coun- tries in other armaments.

Mr. Pearson said part of Can- ads's task against indirect aggres- sion is to "labor with might and main to see jihat the social struc- ture and economy of our country remains healthy.

"it is because the period during which (the forces of freedom will be pitted against the forces of to- talitarian depotism may be pro- tracted that the Government is anxious to avoid . . . t-he imposi- tion of a rigid and across-the- board system of controls."

"I'l'l.is Government," he added. "will resort to direct control of prices. wages and materials when only such controls have been prov- ed necessary. and when they can be effective."

Drew Speaks On Defence

OTTAWA. Feb. 12- (CP)' - George Drew. Progressive Con- mvetlve leader. said tonight that Parliament should be told what troops Canada now has in being 5nd MW Teddy this country is to meet any threat.

That information, he said in the C0mm0n!. was lacking in the defence statement given last, week by Defence Minister Claxton. The Minister had said what he hoped the forces would be three years hence. but he did not show what forces now were available.

Speaking for a second time in the Throne-Speech debate. Mr. Drew said Mr. Claxton had out- lined plans to spend 85.000.000.- 000 on defence during the next lhree years. While it was right to plan ahead. it was the duty of members to deal only with things for the coming year.

"What we need to know is how many men fully trained and Plluliipcd We will have on A-pril 1. on May 1, on June 1, on July 1. on Aim. 1. on Sept. 1-the most critical months western civilization may ever face."

He agreed with the plan to place emphasis on the air forcc. He subscribed to the view; of Hon. C. G. Power. former Air Minister, who said in the Com- mons last week that Canada Was particularly qualified to train large numbers of airmen.
