Arthur Ross (PC-Souris), the party's chief farm critic. made the :-barge against the Agriculture and immigration Departments as A farm debate in the Commons centred on the cattle disease.

Mr. Ross said the evidence in- ilcates the virus was brought to Canada by an immigrant and he taxed the Agriculture Department with later "carelessness" in checking on herds in the infect- s.:--...-Z.-:D......

Earlier. iAgricultura Minister Gardiner. in a brief review of the current livestock-marketing situa- tion following the outbreak, said cattle prices now are relatively good and the amount still on the market "is not giving any serious difficulty" despite a United states embargo.

Estimates Lalo

The debate started shortly after membe u opened consideration of Agriculture Department estimates. With the end of the sitting only a few days off, it was the first time in many years that discussion of farm estimaea hid begun so late.

Mr. Gardiner and Mr. Ross re- ferred to this and. the Sourls mem- ber termed it "strange." The House may adjourn by Saturday

night. Before the Commons began on the 374,000,000 agriculture est-

imates. it completed study of Works Minister Foumierls annual appropriations. Wednesday it fin- ished the huge defence budget.

In the agriculture debate. Mr. Gardiner told the House that he expects that "in due course" Can- ada will be able to dispose of all the frozen grain from the 1060 crop that had to be lowered in grade.

He said there had been no diff- iculties about marketing Canadian cattle and hogs until the United states' embargo was clamped on following disclosure of the foot- and-mouth outbreak. The govern- ment now was buying much pork and canning it but would take a loss on that operation.

Feb. 29 After F. & M. Outbreak

QUEBEC. June 26-(CF)-The Quebec Government has decided to relax gradually restrictions on meat imports from the Western Provinces, a government spokes- man said tonight.

Imposed Feb. 29 by an orrler-in- council adopted by the Quebec cabinet following an outbreak of foot-a d in disease in South- ern Saskatchewon, the restrictions had virtually brought to a stand- still movement of fresh-killed car- casses and livestock from West- ern Canarih to Quebec.

A spokesman said Chlef-Veter- lnarlen J. M. Vellleux has been instructed to issue permits for imports of meat from Manitoba, Northern Alberta and Northern Saskatchewan. The relaxation program has already started and a number of permits have been issued to Manitoba packers.

The spokesman said the Que- bec Government is not planning withdrawal of its order-in-council immediately. Intentions were to bring about normal movement of meat between the Western Prov- inces and Quebec "gradually."

Permits wlllibc issued for -each shipment from areas concerned until the restrictions are actually lifted by another order-in-council voiding the Feb. 29 order.

Import permits will be issued for live steers or fresh-killed lear- casses. The only special provision attached to meat imports from the West is that live steers will be slaughtered upon reception in Montreal and that none of the meat imported will be allowed to move out of the province, the spokesman said.

Since the restrictions were im- posed Quebec received meat sup- plies largely from Ontario... Prev- iously, the'Weei.ern Provinces sup- plied 'more than 50 per cent of Quebecls meat requirements.

By Seymour Topping

LONDON, June 28 -- (AP) State Secretary Dean Acheson of the United States apologized today at a private meeting of members of Parliament for keeping Britain in the dark about plans to bomb Korean power plants along the Yalu, informed sources reported.

In a. meeting with Foreign Sec- retary Anthony Eden, Acheson drafted a plan to give Britain a bigger hand in United Nations military moves in Korea in future as a result of the uproar over the massive air attack.

An informed source said Ach- eson, with the approval of Pres- ident Truman, declared. the Un- ited States would welcome a clos- er link with Britain in the Amer- ican-directed United Nations op- erations.

Earlier, Prime Minister Chur- chill was reported to be asking that a high-ranking British mil- itary man be appointed to the U. N. command to take part in planning and policy and keep Lon- don informed on what is afoot.

Massive air strikes early this week, which levelled formerly im- mune power plants that supplied Red China's Manchurian industry as well as North Korea, created a political storm here. -

Clement Attlee, former Labor prime minister. charged the bomb- ing threatened to upset the truce talks and carried the peril of total war with Red china. I-le charged the Churchill Government with having no Korean policy of its own and with riding American coattails.
