Russia Replies To Proposals For Conference

lndia-Pakistan Rift Poses Serious Threat At Commonwealth Parley

l.0NDON. Jan. i - ICP) - An gm quarrel between India and Pak- ma.-, threatened tonight. is full- .-..v'ale crisis in the Colnmbnwlmith .-ml an even more serious split in ihc non-Communist front facing Lznniznuiiist China.

Press dispatches from Karachi said Pakistanis Premier Liaquat Ali Khan will boycott a conference of (jommonweiilth Prime Ministers. .is.-enthling here for important dc- ..-"cc talks. unless he can bring up hr dispute with India over the priiicoly northern state of Kash- :ul:'.

officials of all nine countries in- titezi to take part in the talks were ."cal'ly concerned. Some of them ob- ...-rve.-l that if Pakistan docs boy- ml the conference. it will be the first such rift. on record in the Com monwea i th.

Britain was reliably reported to oppose Pakistan's demand to dis- miss the status of Kashmir.

strong forces fl-cm Moslem Pak- - inn and Hindu India have been facing each other in the mountain- nus land of legend since 1948 when 'ighting broke out. A cease-fire has Wnen in force while the United Na- 'l0llS sought agreement on a pleb- i-:;!e.

Dangerous Precedent

Accepting the Pakistani demsndl

would create a danger-Picked PT” cedent, commonwealth offlclnls be- lleved.

India. for instance. could then de- mand that the commonwealth lead- ers a.llow her to bring formal com- plaint against color-conscious South Africa over the treatment of Ind- ians there.

south Africa. in turn. could call for a discussion of her claims in three British-ruled protectoratcs in Africa w-hich this country does not not to part with.

India claims that Kashmir is an internal dispute which affects only herself and Pakistan.

Prime Minister Attleo is expected to try hard behind the scenes for an Indian-Pakistani reconciliation.

I-'irii.ain feels Asian powers should lead the fight against Communism in that part of the world. But if like-minded nations kecp quarrelling among themselves. as India and Pakistan are doing. all of Asia will lie exposed dangerously to 'I1usrIan and Chinese Communism, British of- ncials think.

Boy Scouts Ass'n. launches 3-Year Development Plan

OTTAWA. Jan. 1 .. (CP) - The Boy Scouts Association has launch- ed a three-year plan for the further development of Canadian scouting.

Jackson Dodds (above) of Montreal. deputy chief scout .for Canada. in making the nmnouncement, outlined the pro-

gram. to be known as "Plan Ach- ievcmcnt."

It calls for active participation by the 115.000 members of the associa- tion in Canada and requires every cub puck, scout troop and lover. crew to set targets of accomplish- ment for themselves. It is a chal- lenge to the boys and lenders to "help themselves" to make progress in scouting.

The Association headquarters in Ottawa has distributed n I6-page booklet on the program to all mem- bers of the Association in which it lists targets for cubs. rovers and scouts.

The booklet urges cubs to have at least 25 per cent of their packs two-star cubs with a similar per- centage of their meetings to be held out-of-doors,

Scouts are asked to set 25 per cent of their troop first class scouts as their target with every scout to complete the minimum of 14 days camping and hiking standard each year.

Rover targets during the three- year program include completing at least if days' camping and hiking each year with at least one rover in each crew to earn the Ramblers badge each year.

The second Canadian Jamboree In 1053 will mark the official conclu- sion of the "plan achievement" pro- gram.

Vlesiem Powers, Disagree On Interpretation .

LONDON. Jan. l-(CPi- Russ- ia tonight replied to Western pro- posals for a Big-Four conference to case international tensions. The

Western recipients of the note were divided on whether it was an acceptance.

Britain and France considered it an agreement to meet and try to iron out East-West differences.

The United States called it a much-qualified reply and said it fell far short of acceptance.

Reports from diplomatic sources in the two European capitals snid Russia told the Western Powers she is ready to accept a Western sitgestlon that deputies of the Big Four should meet to lay down a. broad agenda for a con- ference of the Foreign Ministers Council on main East-West. quarrels.

Dramatic Move

to the three in a dramatic year-

end move at midnight, Moscow time, Sunday.

Sources in Washington, how- ever, said a rundown of the re- quests Russia. included in the note disclosed a number which previously have been unaccept- able tn the U. S.

Diplomatic informants there

conceded that Moscow had not closed out the possibility of high- level talks. The note was taken to mean that Russia is not pro pared for an unqualified discus- sion of the many gnllifig points of friction between the Western denmoracies and the totalitarian Soviet system.

The text of the Russian note was not made public and the State Department press officer Michael .I:”'McD6i7iiilstt. said there were no plans to release it from Washington.

In London, however. some de- tails of the communication were reported by diplomatic sources. These included a number of Rus- sian "requests" in connection with the proposed sessions which the diplomat conceded the West

might not be willing to accept. 1. Acceptance of the Prague declaration, which

served notice that the com-

munist-led countries of East.-

ern Europe will not tolerate rearmament of Western Ger- many.

2. That the Western Pow- ers take no binding decisions on the arming of Western Gormany in advance of the proposed Big-Four talks.

A third point concerned West- ern charges that Russia has created a German army in the Soviet. zone.

In addition, any discussion of the explosive situation in the Far East appeared to be ruled -out by the Russian note. She. took the

stand that Communist China should be icpresented at any such talks.

TOKYO. Jan. 1 - (AP) - Soviet Marshal Crlgori K. Zhukov may be mastermlnding the Communists' new Korean offensive from a joint Chinese-Russian headquarters in Miukden, Manohuria. .

This correspondent has learned on high authority that the existence of such at headquarters was report- ed io American intelligence on or before Dec. at The informant was officially rated as "a reliable source."

According to this information. Zhukov, the Second World War conqueror of Berlin, is supreme commander at the Mukden head- quarters.

Gen. Lin Piao. commander of the Chinese Red 4th Field Anny. ts named as zhukov's deputy.

From another and less trusted source, Gen. Douglas Moz:Arthur's headquarters has heard reports that scviet Col.-Gen. 0 Ha Muk may may soon be appointed supreme commander of the Korean Red

OTTAWA. Jan, I -(C?)-Cam ads and the United Kingdom have failed to reach agreement on s new 1951 bacon contract. It is the first disagreement in lo years of bilateral bacon negotiations.

However. the lack of in contract is not expected to cause many problems for Canada. Demand for bacon in this country has been so great ihst the government ihas been unable to fill Anglo-Canadian contracts in the last two yelre.

Price Not High Enough

Agricultural Minister Gardiner. in a statement. Saturday. placed the cause of failure at Britain's doorstep. Britain's price. he said, of 29 cents a pound for Grade A Wlltshire sides was not high enough to attract Canadian sellers

Nevertheless. the government in 1951 will continue to offer to buy bacon at 32 1-2 cents a pound- talic basic 1950 support price.

If the government succeeds in obtaining any support--and Mr. Gardiner behaved no "important ouantiiics" would be obtained- these will be made available to Britain or any other country "at prices to be agreed upon."

Britain's offer of 29 cents a pound was the same she made un- der the 1950 contract. But -she agreed to buy 130.000.4100 pounds in 1951. more than double the 00.000.- 000 pounds ordered in 1950.

However. even though the gov- ernment in 193) subsidized ship- ments with a payment of 3 1-2 cents a. pound. and later increased this to 4 3-4 ocnis. it was unable

to obtain enough bacon to fill the contract.

Arrangements nre nearing com- pletion for the,live-Provlncc 1951 East Coast Fisheries Conference to be held in Charlottetown Jan. 23 to 25. It is expected that up- wards of 200 delegates from Que- bec, New Brunswick. Nova Sco- tla. Newfoundland and Prince Ed- ward Island will like part in the meeting.

Gain llpwl-o 13 Miles In Push Ong-Seoul

Serious Situation Be- gins To Develop For U. N. Forces.

By Robert Eunson TOKYO. Jan. 2 -(Tuesday) - (AP)-Chinese Red hordes have driven a third of the way from the 38th parallel to Seoul. a field dis-

patch reported today. This sug- gested an advance of about 18 miles.

The big offensive. launched New Year's eve. threatened to "split the western front wide open." the dispatch said.

Some Chinese advance elanents were within 20 miles of stout.

A South Korean division was over-run and United Nations for- ces on its flanks had to pull back at the outset of the big push.

"Allied forces defending Seoul today retreated from , the fiath parallel." said AP correspondent John Randolph in his dispatch filed from the front north, of the menaced south Korean capital.

Seoul. deserted by two-thirds of its more than 1.000.000 inhabitants. is 35 air miles south of the 38th parallel.

Randolph reported heavy fight- ing throughout New Year's nlzhi north of Seoul as hard-hit South Korean troops tried to contain the enemy.

Advance Slowed

But he said the Chinese today did not renew in full force the on- slaught they loosed at 7 p. in. New Year's eve. The long-awaited of- fensive wss slowed by 8 a. m. New Year's Day. '

Randolph identified for the first time the veteran South Korean 1st Division as the u. N. force which was shattered and overrun It the outset of the offensive by 200.000 chines, gm 35.000 North Koreans.

That sledge-hammer blow fell 25 miles north- of Seoul.

Sombre Greeting For . New Year In Many 1 Parts Of The World

By The Canadian Press

Most of the world observed a sombre New Year's Day with the boom of the big guns of the Com- munist orfensive in Korea re- sounding in capital cities around the globe. But. the Red China cap- ital of Peiping reported dancing in the streets.

on both sides of the iron curt- ain. official grectera of the New Year called for peace in 1951 but pointed accusing fingers at the other side as the parties respon- sible for the war tension.

The weather was-mild through- out most of continental Eur'ope. but in England it was frigid and cheerless. The blackness of night settled over London at noon-time. Snow fell. A new batch of ration: and other restrictions helped hold the lid on the custcinary seasonal celebrations.

Across the Channel celebrations were more in keeping with trad- ition. Parisians drank champagne. West Berlin. undisturbed in its unique position behind the iron curtain. whcoped it up in night clubs.

Both Europe and the United States pledged their peaceful in- tentlom for 1951 but speeded their plans for rearmament. President Truman. working aboard his yacht Williamsburg on his state of the union message to Congress. said he hoped 1951 would ”bi-in: peace to the world." The U. s. Congress, in an unprecedented New Year's Dav session, worked on emergency legislation.

Quleter Than Usual

In Canada. the celebration was quieter than usual.

Montreal's night spots were ord- cred closed by Premier Maurice Duplessis. As in Ottawa andother Canadian cities, most. celebrating was done in house parties because of the Sunday;
