Ito Increased

OTTAWA (CP)-Canada has in- formed her Colombo plan partners that she will have 333,-100,000 avail- able for aid to Asian democracies in the next 12 months.

In addition, she informed the 16- power Colombo plan ministerial conference Wednesday that she will consider granting technical aid to the -Indochina states of Laos. Cambodia and Viet Nam.

informants said this outline of Canadian aid to Asia was given by Fisheries Minister Sinclair and Re- sources Minister Lesage, who along with Finance Minister Har- ris are representing Canada at the week-long meeting.

The 533,400,000 would represent no increased budgetary outlay. It would be made up of Canada's 525,400,000-a-year contribution. plus 38,000,000 in surplus Columbo funds held over from previous years.

U. S. PLAN

informants said, the United States, in setting forth its plans for assistance emphasized the ad- vantages of P r e s id en t Eisen- hower's 31.000.000.000 surplus food disposal program.

Under this scheme, countries could buy American food with local currencies which in turn would be used to invest in some local project. In addition, for every purchase made. there would be a free allocation of food amounting to one-third of the purchase.

informants said both donor and recipient countries now have com- pleted their reports to the minis- terial conference and a general discussion of these reports is ex- pected to take place today. Harold Stassen. U. S. foreign aid chief, is expected to arrive to partici- pate in the discussions. A commun- ique on the week's work likely will be issued Friday. '

Generally. indications. were that the donor countries believed that the conttributions they now are making are about all they can make, though the Asian members have repeatedly stated their need for more help.

Dr. Goldwater said a study of 97 patients stricken with heart disease over s period of 15 years or more showed 62 had worked during the entire time. An addi- tional 21 had worked for more than 10 years, while only three had not worked at all.

-"These figures would tend in show that heart disease does not necessarily render its victims un- fit for work." he said.

But there was the problem of fin work for them.

Ocean Limited Now Powered By Diesel

lvi0NCl'UN - Another step in the onward march of I.l'all5pDi'i.3- lion in the Maritime Provinces took place Wednesday with the arrival here of the Ocean Limited of the Canadian National Rail- ways eastbound from Montreal en route to Halifax hauled by a diesel electric locomotive, the latest of that type of railway motive power, in place of the tlme-honored steam locomotive. This is the lust pas- senger traln on the Canadian Na- tional system to be dieselized.

The diesel locomotive was made up of two units olle num- bered 6b00 and the other 6800, the former of 1,750 h.p. and the other of 1,600 h.p. They are part of an order or 19 passenger road type units ulcluded in a total order of 127 units and are in line with the policy of the C.N.R. to change over to diesels where traffic den- sity and immediate savings justify. Of the total, 106 were ordered from Canadian conlpanes and 21 for lines in the United States and the order is to be completed by May. 1955.

Other passenger trains of the Canadian National will be dleseli- zed as studies and experience prove that such action would be justified from the standpoint of economy of operation and other factors. Steam locomotives will continue to haul the Scotlan and Maritime. through express trains between Montreal and Halifax, for the time being. Diesel electric units have been hauling manifest freight trains on the Canadian National in the Maritimes s it elsewhere for some time past and they are also in use in yard switch- ing service.

Britis Wool . Textile Group Gives Views

OTTAWA. (CP)-Representatives of the British wool textile industry said Wednesday any increase in the Canadian tariff on imports of their goods might shift unemploy- ment from Canada's wool textile industry to its clothing industry

Any relief afforded the Canadian wool textile industry "might well prove illusory and produce as much employment in the cloth- ing industry as it was intended to safeguard in the textile industry."

Wool cloth "would be made more expensive" with the result that the public would buy less clothing. imports of clothing. as distinct from cloth, would rise; and more synthetic and non-Wool materials would be bought.

The claims were contained in a brief presented before the tariff board in opposition to the Cana- dian wool textile industrws bid for a tariff increase on the com- peting Britlsh material.

STILL SAME PROPORTION

The brief. presented by Ottawa lawyer Gordon Menderson. British industry counsel, said despite the present tariff of a maximum of 50 cents a pound on wool cloth from the Unitedklngdom, the Canadian industry in 1953 still supplied the same proportion of the Canadian market as it did in 1937, when the present duty came into force.

"Any financial distress that there may be in the Canadian wool textile industry is mainly clue to a contraction of the market for wool cloth from the abnormal con- sumption of post-war years, eg- gravated by a serious fall in wool values in 1951-52,"

Earlier, H. O. Hansen of Wilkie, Sasic. representing the Interpre- vinciai Farm Union Council, said tony. tariff is "a discriminatory ax.' Tariffs forced Canadians "not only to buy made-in-Canada goods but to buy them at made-in-Cam ads prices, for the protection sf-. forded Canadian manufacturers al- lows them to penalize Canadian? consumers by holding up prices made possible by tariff protection?
