INDIA SEES CHINA READY TO AGREE TO CEASE” FIRE

By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER

WASHINGTON. Jan. 26 - (AP)

China's Communist leaders have changed their tactics in an effort to split the anti-Communist coal- ition. according to reports from Peiplng.

Officials here say the Red Flor- eimi Ministry has taken a new line with British and Scandinavian dip- lomats at the Chinese capital. For- .-nerly these diplomats were ignor- rd. but new they are being called in for frequent talks.

They are reported to have been kept. informed of Red China's Kor- can cease-fire dealings with India and to have been fed a steady diet of C unist propaganda against the United states and its Far East- cm pclicles. Until I few weeks ago Pc'iping's official relations were al- most entirely limited. in the lion- Communist field. to its ocntacts with India.

The Peiping maneouvrexis regard- ed at the state Department as one ride of a. nutcracker pressure on the grand alliance of the free coun- tries. The other side is Moscow's itiplomatic pressure against forma- tion of the North Atlantic defence army.

See Dangerous Situation

To officialslhere the pressure Zooks heavy and potentially dung- erous because of conflicts in the national policies of the U.s.. Brit- ain and France.

These conflicts even extend to the question whether the three Western Powers should sit down with the Soviet Union in a foreign ministers meeting this spring to red: 3 solution of major world problems. Top American officials are convinced such a meeting would be little more than a propaganda battle between East and West. But the pressure in EUNPG I! 50 593038 that American officials felt they had no choice except to go along with moves for a conference.

Weeks Sentenced To Twenty Years

In the Supreme Court yesterday morning Justice George J. Needy sentenced William Weeks. char- lottetown, convicted of man- slaughter, to twenty years in Dar- chesfer Penitentiary.

The prisoner showed no emotion as the sentence was read. but his wife who had been sitting near the prisonerls box ran weeping from the courtroom.

Speaking to the prisoner. Justice Tweedy told him he had hada fair trial and the jury had brought in a verdict of not guilty of murder but guilty of manslaughter. He added it was his opinion . the evidence had warranted a verdict of murder.

Weeks had been found guilty of manslaughter last week in con- nection with the death on De- cember 4. 1950 of James Mullins. 84 year-old resident of Charlotte- town.

In his plea for mercy. R. R. Bell. K.C.. counsel for the defence. pointed out the prisoner's past record. and stated he was not a. criminal but one of the unfortun- ates who gels himself convicted of a crirnlnal defence.

South Koreans . Vlani Peace Al Any Price

BRA!l'I'FORD. 0nt.. Jan. 25 - (CP) -- South Koreans are inian extreme state of apathy and "probably ready to accept any- thing, even Communism. to end the fighting." a Canadian army officer returned from Korea said today.

Maj. John Firth, company com- mander. with the 2nd Battalion. Princess Pairicia'.s Canadian Light Infantry. was granted compassion- ale leave because of his wife's ill- ness and arrived home yesterday.

He said the morale of the Pa- triclas training in South Korea is high and they are ”bur-sting to get into action."

Specifically, the Board ordered that:

"If we could put the same qual- ity fish into Montreal and Toronto that we put into Halifax we could not catch enough on the East Coast to supply the Upper Canad- ian market", stated Mr. E. A.

proved to be one of the most in- terestlng and lively at the Confer- ence and continued over from the morning into the afternoon.

The morning session opened with a discussion on the automotive transportation in the fishery do- veiopmeni. Supporters of the two transportation systems. trucking and railway. presented their views in attempts to prove which was the better system and what were the most desirable conditions.

Mr. Day stressed the point that it was neceaury to provide Upper Canadian centres with high qual- ity fish. "I do not eat fish in Montreal and would not touch a

He did not think that those who represented the trucking trad-e were in I. position to tell what the temperature should be. He re- counted that he asked 18 truck- men and he received -eighteen different answers.

Director of Fisheries for N. B. yes- terday afternoon a.t.1he concluding

conference of East Coast Fisheries

Conference.

Mr. Robichaud noted that the diraggers had proved so popular with the deep sea. fishermen that no applications for fishing boats other than draggers have been re- ceived for over a year. on Dec. 31, 1960 we had 62 applications for the construction of more draggers, he added.

With regard to money earnings, he stated there was no comparison with the... amount previously at- tained by the fishermen. He noted that dragger fishermen ware aver- aging twice as much money as those who used long liners.

The off-shore fishermen. after the first year. did not say that they were losing out in their catch- es due to draggers, he stated. They say they are not getting as much as draggers and he recounted where one shore fishermen told him his catch had increased due to the use of draggers in deep water.

Asked to compare the catches of draggers and ordinary fishing boats he stated that the drarzger catches per week were around 60, 70 to 80,000 lbs. against 15 or 20,- 01!) pounds for ordinary boats.

If we were to stay in the fishing business we had to get draggors. he stated. New Brunswick fishermen now operate 23 draggers. Last year they experimented with a 45 foot dragger. which they liked and next year they plan to put a 47- footer into operation.

Draggers. however. were not the entire solution to the N. B. fishing problem, he noted. We still have

lmplores-Ill II To Capitalize On Present lull

(By William L. Ryan)

LAKE SUCCESS. N. Y., Jan. 25 -(AP)-India hinted today that the lull on the Korean war front may be an indication of Chinese Communist readiness at a mo- ment's notice to order a cease- fire. and implored the United Na- tions to seize upon the lull as an opportunity to launch peace negotiations.

Backed by Britain's Sir Glad- wyn Jebb. Sir Benegal Rau nf lndiii demanded priority consid- eration by the 60-country political committee of the Asian-Arab bloc proposal calling for an immediate conference of seven countries on the Korean crisis. He said it should take precedence over the U. S. resolution to brand Com- munist China an aggressor be- cause the Arab-Asian move was more likely to lead to an early end of hostilities.

Aiihoughe the 12-country Arab- Aslan proposal as originally pre- sented made no mention of R cease-fire, Rau said the sponsors had this in mind as the first order of business of the projected seven-country conference.

Soviet delegate Semyon K. Tsarapkin said Russia accepted the Asian-Arab proposal. Plow- ever. he proposed an amendment which would delete a section of the proposal calling upon the U. N. Assembly president to set the lime and place of the first ses- sion of the proposed seven-power conference. He proposed that "the conlcrees" do this. Observers not- ed this would make the time of the meeting subject to the wishes of Communist China.

Tsarapi-tin also proposed that the words "intervention of Com- munist Chins" be deleted from the Arab-Asian resolution. He said this was contrary to facts.

Solidarity Threatened.

IDNDON. Jan. 25 .. (C-P) - As. the issues of peace or war in Korea threaten to shatter Anglo-American solidarity. what is know as the "Asian viow" commands increasing attention in Britain.

Stated in strong terms. this is simply that the United States un- wittingly helped bring on the fight- ing by persistently denying New china her rightful voice in Far Eastern affairs.

T0 CB-midi-fins. hearing the salty speeches cf United states senators confounding Communist China and all her works. this View may seem extreme. The American case is impressive: China "aggiressed" and any country which doesn't try to do something about it is guilty of appeasement.

If Red China were recognized now. the argument runs, it would clearly be an example of a country gaining admission to the united Nations for precisely the offence that would normally guarantee ex- pulsion.

Things may. look different in Pelping. The basic Chinese premise, as expounded by influential Asian voices. is that the United States sought to settle Far Eastern affairs without China's participation just because that country happened to be cxmmunist. The fact is China was barred; the American Argu. merits for barring her cut little ice anywhere in Asia.

VANCOUVER, Jan. 25 -(CP) - Heavy rain crumbled walls in the Fraser Canyon today and caused some flooding in the Lower Fraser Valley.

Near Hell's Gate, some 120 miles east of Vancouver. the M untaln runoff sent rock and mud arcad- ing down over the Canadian Nat- ional Railways iracka. cutting the transcontinental line.

C. N. R. iraina. running about six hours late into Vancouver. were re-routed over Canadian Pacific Railway tracks which run along the opposite wall of the canyon. .

The c. P. R. had no trouble on its main line in the canyon but in the southern interior a rock slide blocked the Kettle Valley line in the Coquihalla Pass. Trains swere re-routed north through the Fraser and Thompson Canyons and then south through nor-rm.

other slides blocked the Trans- Canada I-llghway between lponoos Bridge and Lytton in the Tharp. non Canyon. An avalanche that out the Trans-Canada artery near Hope. ioo miles out of here, was
