Aid To Underdeveloped Is Seen Vital To The Future

By IAN DONALDSON Canadian Press Staff Writer inseam prééidbnt‘

of the British Boards of Trade said Thursday the West’s re sponse to t e needs of'the world’s underdeveloped countries will dc. cide life or death for the grand- children of this generation.

Sir David Eccles, 54-year-old former British education minis- ter, told a ceremonial session of the Nova Scotia legislature that underdeveloped nations will turn to either the West or the Sim- Soviet bloc for aid..He said the eyes of the Commonwealth were opened to the dangers ahead dur- ing the recent trade conference in Montreal. , \ .

ZOOTH ANNIVERSARY

The special legislature session was held to mark the 200th an- niversary of representative gov- ernment in Canada. 'On Oct. 2, 1758, 16 men sat down in a court Where as this country’s first elected Assembly.

Sir David said delegates to the M o n t r e a 1 conference realized "that by acting separately and thinking only of our individual in- terests we could never solve the central problem of our age.” He said the free world must apply its economic r e s o u r c e s effec- tively ,“‘to prove beyond doubt that our way of life is better than the Communist way."

Conference delegates “were not panicked by the material sueces-s registered by the Communists. We did not propose to start an economic war and fight them with all the commercial and fi- nancial weapons at our disposal. PEACE UNDIVIDABLE

“We remembered that ‘peace is undividable, and that a strong Idea can only be defeated by a stronger and better idea.”

He said the conference was “soberly and confidently deter- mided" that the West could help underdeveloped countries “f ar more effectively than the Com- munists.”

Nova Scotia’s ’s t a- r t in rep- resentative government had' led to Canada’s role as “pacemaker in the constitutional progress of the whole Commonwealth. Cana‘da’s robust manhood is the envy of the wor-l ."

Premier Stanfield said the dem- ocratic system of government-in Canada was started in Nova Scotia “but it is not finished and never will be fii‘iished. n is our duty to carry on where our pre- decessors left off."

WASHINGTON (AP) — State Secretary Dulles has sent Presi- dent Chi'ang Kai~shek a message to assure him the United States is‘ standing by its basic policies on F o r m o s a and Nationalist China. ‘

The message represents a move by Dulles to bridge the split that developed from statements Dulles made at a press conference Tues- day. His statements were interp- reted as meaning the United States was prepared to bang-am with Red China on the future sta- tus or at least the military use of the Nationalist - held islands of

sioner to Canada.

Chiang replied Wednesday he found Dulles’s statements “com- pletely incompatible” with .N ation- alist China’s determination to de- fend Quemoy and Matsu.

While the Dulles message to Chiang was s e c r e t, officials stressed these points:

In his press conference, Dulles said there must be a dependable cease-fire before the U.S. would want a reduction of Nationalist forces on Quemoy. So far the Reds have rejected the Whole idea of a cease-fire.

Ottawa To Aid. In 3,500. Miles Of Resources Roads

n'y DON PEACOCK Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (OP) —— The federal government is committed to help build 3,500 miles of resources roads in all provinces except On- tario and Quebec during the next five years at a total cost of some $110,000,000. Participating prov- inces will share the cost.

Officials said Thursday an Oct. 01 meeting between federal and Ontario officials in Toronto will try to find some final agreement on similar projects in that prov- ince. Among possibilities to be discussedis a road to Hudson Bay.

So far. they added. Quebec has shown no interest in participating in (he I‘esourcos roads program.

Meantime, in another aspect of northern developent pros. beets, it was learned that On- tario has approached the federal government for possible financial help in expanding harbor facil- ities at the James Bay port of Moosonee.

The official said Ontario‘s main interest is in the possibility of exploiting rich iron ore deposits on the Belcher Islands.

In Freight Rates

“OTTAWA, -— (Special) -— The Agricultural Stabilization Board has been authorized to increase to $127,000 the amount approved for diverting Prince Edward 15- land surplus potatoes from the 1957 crop for animal food.

The announcement was made

Thursday by Ho’n. J. Angus MacLean, acting Agriculture Minister, following signing of

the required order-in-councii.

(Similar information was con- tained in telegrams from Hon. Mr. MacLean to Walter R. Shaw, provincial leader of the Progressive Conservative Party, and Mr. Wellington MacNeill, Progressive Conservative candi- date. . .

(Mr. Sharw stated he felt there should 'now be very little delay in havmg payments go out to all concerned.)

The Cabinet approved pay- ment of up to $105,000 for this purpose in July. The amount was based on an estimate of surplus potatoes at that time.

’Mrs. Ritchie was in the kitchen at the. time while her three chil- dren were playing in, the living, where the bullet came'to es.

Gunsmith Manzer MacFarlane of nearby Nashwaaksis indenti- fied the slug as coming from a 00-30 calibre rifle and believed it had travelled about a mile and a half.

Says “Federal . Vote In I962 Is'Probanility.

OTTAWA (OP) — Former Lib- eral transport «minister George Marler Thursday night forecast that the next federal election be in the spring of 1962.

He told the KingaLa‘pointe club of the University of Ottawa that this leaves a “relatively short time” for, the Liberal party to take the steps that will enable it to be‘ reelected to.~ office.

Mr. Marler said Liberals must not be discouraged by the appan ent strength of the Progressive Conservative party or take an at- titude of despair at the political change which has taken place.

Canada‘s political hi tory pro- vided ample preceden ,to show that political fortunes can and do change with astonishing rapidity.

He said federal governments are elected for five years but those that have stayed for their whole term "have not been no- tably successful when. they have finally gone to the' people.

“In these circumstances, there- fore, we should expect the test to be in about 3% years."

A MacMilIan

Of Clan Bard

HALIFAX (CP)—A Macmillan from Paisley, Scotland says his clan‘s chief bard “has not had a fair deal” in a controversy over the genuineness of the annual Gaelic Mod at St. Ann’s, N.S.

The bard, Rev. Somerled Mac- millan of Paisley, inflamed the tempers of Canadian Scots when he called the Mod “a travesty and farce” during a recent visit.

Angus Macmillan, in a letter to the editor printed Thursday in The Chronicle - Herald, said Mr. Macmillan “has made no effort to return unfair criticism." The hard is also official historian for the clan.

Tie writer made two points: Mr. Macmillan spent days in Cape Breton “so it is incorrect to say he was only a few hours there.” Reports that clan Mac- millan disagreed with the bard’s remarks were not true. “They may have not favored his blunt ness but they did not disagree

with what he said.”

' The actual surplus proved to be in excess of this quantity, said Mr. MacLean, and accord ineg additional funds had to be authorized by the government.

Mlonu‘nEAL (or) Hon. Charles Avery Dunning, who at 38 was Canada’s youngest provin- cial premier and twice served as federal minister of finance, died late Wednesday night. He' was 73.

His death in hospital came a week after an operation for an un- disclosed ailment. .

Funeral services will be held at noon Saturday. Burial will be. in mount royal cemetery.

Ill health, necessitating a dry climate, brought Mr. Dunning to Canada from his native E-nglan when he was 17. The pennil-ess young immigrants first job was as ‘a Saskatchewan farmhand at $10 a month.

From homesteader, prosperous farmer and leader among Saskat- chewan’s grain grow ers, he moved along a career that em- braced business, finance and poi- itics. He retired from politics and his post in the Liberal cabinet of Rt. Hon. W.L. Mackenzie King in 1939, one year after suffering a heart attack.

At the time of his death Mr. Dunning was chancllor of Queen’s University, King- ston, Ont, president of Ogilvie Flour Mills Company 'and a direc- tor of a score of Canada’s lead- ing corporations.

He is survived by his wife, a daughter, Katharine, and a son, Avery.

Within a few years he had a homestead near Yorkton, Sask. He soon became a recognized leader among wheat growers. He was only 24 when he was made a provincial director of the grow- ers’ association.

No Hepe 0t Potato Sales To Ire-land

Hopes of potato sales to Ireland Were eliminated . last evening when the agricultural committee of the Board of Trade at Summer- side announced the results of an investigation of this possibility.

Correspondence from Ireland in reply to an inquiry by the board, stated that although potato crops had been poor in parts of Ireland the country had about a quarter of a millions acres in potato pro- duction and that indicated yield would be in excess of human re- quire'meuts.l '

The letter noted that it is a common practice of producers to feed their surplus potatoes to livestock. lit further indicatedthat this country had no need to im- port potatoes, and noted that their potato crops were entirely free from bacterial ring rot disease, as well as the Colorado potato beetle.

Reaction to this connnunication was expressed by one member who said that in the matter of new port markets, “we might as well forget about Irelan ”.

A similar communication with Holland indicated little interest in potaitoes, but was most anxious to know if the Board of Trade could supply them with live eels, in 50-ton shipments, for which they were ready to provide trans- portation. V v

OTTAWA (C’Pl—Eight provin- cial governments and several na- tibnal organizations have filed formal pnotests with the board of trz. sport commissioners against an application by the railways for a general 19-per-cent freight rate increase. >

The increase of about $60,000,- 000 a year is being sought by the railways to cover the cost of a wage settlement with employees. Board hearings are,due to begin here Monday.

It is the first time the railways ever have asked the rail-regulat- ing board to provide a freight rate increase in advance of actu~ ally paying out money in wage increases. They have told the board that proceeds from the pro. posed increase would go fully to the employees. '

The major impact would be' to effect a settlement, of the rail- ways' dispute with 130,000‘ non. operating employees now threat- ening a strike that could tie up the two transonctinental system-s.

T0 F'GHT INCREASE

All of the eight provinces—- every one except Ontario .and Quebec—have indicated in ad- vance submissions to the ooard that they will fight the ndrease, far various reasons.

Mainly, they agree in contend- ing that the board should not award a freight rate increase be fore the railways actually have incurred the additional wage costs.

DETROJH' (AP) —,— United Auto Workers and General Motors Cor- poration announced at 10:49 pm. EDT Thursday night they had reached agreement on a three- year contract, less than 10 hours after GM plants across the U.S. went out on strike.‘

Louis.G. Seaton, GM vice-pres- ident, called it a “sound and fair" pact. .

' The announcement ended nearly 36 hours of bargaining broken only by occasional lunch breaks.

the throne go to someone who‘ doesn’t want the job or to some- one the people don‘t. want?

The question was delicately raised Thursday by The Church of England Newspaper, unoffi- cial Anglican publication.

A prince or princess is ,trapped in line of succession to the crown from birth to death unless freed by a special act of Parliament. The paper said this sytem potentially presents a serious danger for the mon- archy. ’

This law played a large part in Princess Margaret’s renunci- ation of Group Capt. Peter Town-send. Since he had been divorced and she is third in line to the throne she could not have wed him without legisla- tion to remove her succession rights.

“What was really at stake in this affair, however, was not whether her marriage to a di- vorced person was rig-ht or wrong but whether the succes- sion could properly be tampered with,” the paper said in an editorial.
