OTTAWA. June l7 —(CP)—- Munitions Minister Howe told the House of Commons tonight that the work cf designing a four- engined plane for future Can- adian transport work has start-

ed but that production is at least two years sway. Mr. Howe made this state-

ment after he referred to a now cargo-carrying plane cf “Trans- Oceanio type" which was being made now and would soon be coming out of s Canadian fac-

tory.

His Parliamentary assistant, Lionel Chevrier (Lib. Stor- mont), declined to comment on the Minister's statement but elsewhere It was learned that this cargo-carrying plane is a version of the Lancaster, now being made at M-alton, Ont. the first to be teat-flown soon,

HALIFAX, June 1'1 (CW-In- equitlss in Canada's economy must be corrected after the war or "half the people will drift into commun- ism and the other half into Fas- cism.’ Hon. John Bracken declar- ed at a public meeting here tonight.

“And then we would have war again," the Progressive Conserva- tive leader told his audience in a hotel ballroom as he reached the half-way mark on his 10-day tour of Nova Scotia.

Mr. Bracken said the country's major practical problem of the post- war period would be that of keep- ing up the level of the national in- come. Canada must try to achieve in peace what she was achieving in war.

He felt the Dominion had no na- tional ills that could not be reme- died by co-operation. "On this tour of mine," he said, "I have discov- ered a thousand problems, for each community has its own peculiar conditions.

“But I know now that the heart of the nation is sound and, while there are many sore spots, it has none that can't be cured if we can get. the feet of the nation under a common table." One object?» that could be reached by this means, he asserted, was the achievement of the long-sought Canadian unity.

The new party leader came here tonight from Truro. He stopped overnight at; that town. and earlier today s nt several hours at De- bcrt mi itary comp. hear Truro. What he saw at the vast encamp- ment is a military secret, for press representative's accompanying him on his tour were not permitted to‘ enter the establishment with him.

Tomorrow. Mr. Bracken will head for the Annapolis Valley. heart of the province's apple-growing in- dustry. Prom the orchard country, he will round the western shoulder of the province and swing down along the South Shore through Eastern Canada's major commer- cial fishing communities.

Mme. Chiang Leaves After 3-Day Visit

By JAMES McCOOK Canadian Press Staff Writer

OTTAWA, June l7 (CP)—Mme. Chiang Kai-Slick, who has seen the lung horror of the war iii China, today left with Canadians a warn- in that the Japanese have sub- st tutcd cajolery for brutality and now appeal to Chinese, as eopla of the same race. to aid hem in fighting westerners.

The wife of the Chinese Gener- alisslmo spent half an hour at a press conference today, before hcr departure for Montreal, and packed that half-hour full of precise facts and first-hand information.

She pictured the Chinese people- "my people," she called them warm- ly-as filled with the-will to resist even after years of war.

The press conference was mic of the final appointments of an no pointment-filled three-day visit to the capital. Mme. Chiang came here from the United States. where she arrived about six months ago for medical treatment.

She asked newspapermen in the

resence of Prime Minister Mac-

enzie King. to tell the Canadian neople how much she had enjoyed her visit. Mme. Chiang spoke of "my peo- ple" as the most reasonable n the world. eager to learn of the imple- ments of agriculture and the cod production methods of the western world: but, at the moment, anxious for the implements of war—air- planes, big guns and other weapons
