fence prcgrem calls for unprove- ment of existing anti-tank and anti-aircraft weapons and for purchase of new ones in addit- ion tn acquiring "very consider- able quantities" of ammunition and motor vehicles. This state- ment tied in with reports that the army is working on a power- - ful. small. secret anti-tank weapon. .

4. Under present circumstanc-

es. the planned boost in defence costs for Canada herself will be substantially beyond 326,000,000 in the next fiscal year and the year following it in contrast to the 325,000,000 already approv- ed for this fiscdl year. Thus this year's expansion of 3140.- 000,000 to 315-0.000.000 will be considerably topped in those years and. the Minister said, if the situation warrants it the real of acceleration will be ev- en sharper. Mr. claxton said substantial de- fence orders will be placed in Can- ada for arms for both herself and Atlantic-Pact Allies. He added that these orders must make inroads on output for civilian purposes. Cen- adp. was going ahead with a pro- gram that would allow her to stand proudly forth as one who was. in every way. doing her part.

lmponmt Facts

The new facts Mr. Claxton gave about the special force were im- portant and significant. The post- ing of 1.000 regulars-artillery, mg. propelled liin-ii. signals, engineers and so on--was a substantial in- cf!-'08! over the number origin- ally intended. They would be in addition to the 0,772 men already recruited for the special force.

Under the emergency bill pass- ed last night by Parliament order- ing the resumption of rail oper- ations in 48 hours. the parties have 30 days from the time of passage to reach an agreement.

If they do not get a contract in that time. an arbitrator will be appointed to give binding de- cisions (within the area still at -Issue between unions and com- panies.

Fur Prices Show Upward Trend

VANCOUVER. Aug. 31-(CP)- Fur coats are going to cost more room all because New York long- shoramen don't like Joe Stelln..

When Jtevedcraa refused to un- load shipments of Russian furs recently. the raw fur market arch- ed lts back all the way from New York to Vancouver.

This advance was reflected here today at an auction at Western Canadian Fur Auction Sales Ltd.

Theodore Pappas, president, said rnuskrat skins and ermine were up 50 per cent: mink advanced 30

per cent and marten jumped 35 per cent. This is In comparison with

prices at the last sale here June 3. Mr. Pappaa said, and can be attributed directly to the fact that Russian furs werenlt landed at New York.

All this adds up to a more ex- pensive fur coat.

lslanod Members Preissl For Showdown On Ferry Policy

0'I'I'AWA. Aug. 3l--(Specia1).- J. Watson MacNaughl. M.P., Par- liamentary assistant to Fikheries Minister Mayhew. today laid the groundwoil-k for a policy which will prevent future disruption of the ferry service between Prince Edward Island and the mainland. He received Government assur- ance that the situation would be explored and considered.

At the question peidod in the House of Commons, Mr. Mac- Naught asked Transport Minister Chevrier:

"In View of the recent disrup- tion of continuous transportation connection between Prince Edward island and the mainland which was guaranteed by Confederation, will the Government consider ways and means of preventing such disruption of vital services in the future?"

Mr. Chevrler pledged that he would bring the matter to the at- tention of his Cabinet colleagues.

P. E. 1. Members Active

Mr. MecNaught's question was a sequel to a meeting held two dlya ego between the four P.E.I. mem- bers and Labor Minister Grok: which resulted in the resumption, of scvrvice of one of the car ferries prior to the end of the railway

strike. On that occasion the Island

members held that not even a nation-wide strike was valid reas-

on for the ceseaitlon of the feriry service. They pointed out to Mr. Gregg that the car ferry agree- ment was not a contract with the Canadian National Railways but an essential clause of the Confed-

ieratlon-Pact. Further they claim-

ed that the Government was mor- ally obiigaicd to keep the ferries in action regardless of strike con- diilons.
