War On Poverty Urged At C. C. F. Convention; I Pacifist View Modified

TVDRONTO. Aug. '7 -(OP) -The national convention of the C. C. F. today urged a "war on poverty" as the best means of achieving last- ing peace.

At the same time. it turned back a move which would have taken out of the resolution any approval of military preparedness.

The resolution said:

”Military preparedness, neces- sary though it is in the present in- ternatlonal situation. cannot take the place of positive,action to end poverty and exploitation."

Mrs. Sophia Dickson and Peter Makaroit. Saskatchewan delegates, asked for the deletion, as "ir- relevant," of the words, "necessary though it is in the present inter- national situation."

Heated Debate

This touched off the most heat- od debate of the convention so far. Two or three delegates indicated that they were "paciflsts." Mrs. .i. M. Tclford, another Saskatche- wan delegate, asked what had been accomplished by war, and said "we are just dallying around in con- zicning war."

Premier Douglas of Saskatchewan replied:

"If we had allowed Hitler to bring the world into thralldom, you and I today would be under a

tyranny. Some things are worse than war. "We must face the fact that in

the kind of world we live in we must have force. But it should be constructive force. and we must remove the poverty mid. insecurity iriiich inevitably lead to war."

Alistair Stewart. MP. for Win- llipcg North, said:

"We had ipcace' when China. Ahyssinis, Czechoslovakia and Austria were overrun. when Jews were being put to death, and trade unions destroyed. so-called peace' is not the all-important thing- tho. main thing is law and order."

Mrs. Gretchen Steeves of Van- couver declared: i

Furs Must Go Under True Name in Uniiediiaies

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7 - (GP) - Skunk's skunk, from now on.

President Truman's fur-labeling act. signed a. year ago. goes into ef- fect tomorrow.

Gone then will be Arctic seal, Mendoza beaver and Galland squir- rel. Coats of such refined-sounding fur will be given their true name: Rabbit.

The law says all fur coats and other fur garments must be ad- vertised and sold under "the true English name of the animal from which the fur was taken."

To back it up, the Federal Trade Commission has prepared a list of some 100 "true English names" which will let the customer know just what he or she is buying.

Scratched are such names as "black marten" for skunk. or "Bal- tic lien" for rabbit. or "blue Japan- ese wolf" for goat.

The law also requires sellers to state whether the fur is use . bleached or dyed, and where it came from. 11! it is imported.

In Canada it is the practice to bracket the correct name of the fur after the trade name.

Saving Books is Tough lob

OTTAWA, Aug. '1 -(GP) -They were looking for dehumidifiers to- day to save parliament library books from mildew and mold.

The job of saving them was des- cribed by a United States expert. in his first day on the scene of Monday's fire, as one of the tough- est he has seen.

Alvin Kremcr. Keeper Collection of the United States Library of Congress. called the damage a catastrophe but said the task of saving the books is by no means hopeless.

He told Production Minister Howe that about 75.000 of the 500.- 000-odd books in the library were hit by water. Mold has already ap- peared on some of them.

Mr. Kremer said the first aim is to get rid of the "excessive humid- ity" in the library. For this, they need dehumidifiers. machines which will take the moisture out of the air and out of the books.

A couple of small ones were put to work today in small vaults in the basement; and a larger one is expected to be set up in the main body of the library. ,

Siiualion-is Explosive. U. N. Observers ilepori

ATHENS. Aug. 7 - fAP)- The Greek general staff said Commun- ist Bulgarian troops withdrew to- night-underi Greek mortar and machine-gun fire-from the tiny, disputed islet of Gamma in the Evros River. which forms the Greek-Turkish-Bulgarian frontier.

After a day-long pounding of the island. the general staff said the Bulgarian troops - probably no more than patrol strength were seen evacuating the island.

The announcement said no Greek troops were sent to the island, since the only objective of the gunfire was to get the Bul- garians out. The Greeks had giv- en the Bulgarians an ultimatum to get off the island-which both countries claim-and then opened up when the demand was ignored.

Aside from the announced with- drawal, the general staff blacked out all information as to the size of its forces, the gravity of the situation or whether either side had suffered casualties. Unofficial reports from the scene said the Greeks, moving up troops to the Bulgarian border, were backed by artillery.

(United Nations Balkans Com- mission observers on the scene re- ported to the U. N. in New,York that big forces of both countries

are ready for action. Before the shooting started they called the situation "very dangerous" and

urged Greece to ask U. N. inter- vention which might "possibly save the situation."

(The Greek delegate at the U. N. already had said Greece was not contemplating such a request. De- spite some expressed fears of a dangerous Balkan flat-eup, a Greek diplomatic source at Istanbul, Tur- key. described the incident as a local one-a continuation of a ser- ies of flareups in the area over the

quoted officials at Adrianople. Turkish town 10 miles from Gain- ma, as saying the firing lasted 90 minutes.) ,

1,000 Refugees (in Koie Island Riot

PUSAN. A118. 7 -(AP)-Korean newspapers reported tonight that 1.000 civilian refugees rioted on Koie Island Wednesday because their rice ration had been reduced.

About 60.000 war-displaced refu- gecs live in camps on Koje operat- ed by the South Korean Govern- ment. They are separate from Communist. prisoners of war held on the once-turbulent island.

Canadian Grain Exports Reach All - Time Peak

OTTAWA, Aug. 7- (CP)-Cam ada's grain exports climbed to a peak of 509.000,000 bushels in tho crop year ended July 31. the Trade Department announced to- day. The jump of grain shipments from the previous high of 411.000.- 000 bushelstin 1929 was achieved in spite of turbulent crop-hand- ling conditions and a late harvest which threatened Canada with one of its worst shipping bottle- necks in history. -

Exports in the 1951-52 crop year included 351000.000 bushels of wheat, 72,000,000 bushels of cats and 70,000,000 bushels of barley.

With the old crop year ended, trade officials are turnlni! to the prnblem of closing grain-pool books. with prospects that mil- lions of dollars in pool iressuries soon will be turned over to West- ern farmers in the form of final payments on grain deliveries.

During the 12-month period. Western product-rs delivered some

718.000.000 bushels of grslp to

marketing points. the highest in Western history and some 164.000.- 000 bushels higher than the 554.- 000,000 in the previous year.

The Canadian Wheat Board. taking delivery of grain, has paid farmers 51.60 a bushel. basis No. 1 northern at Fort William and Port Arthur. But it has been sell- ing the wheat at about 51.79. it has paid farmers roughly 31.16 a bushel for barley and 65 cents a bushel for cats. In both cases the selling price has been running much higher.

This means ihere is a surplus remaining in the credit of pool members which will be distribut- ed in the form of final payments alter the board has completed its bookkeeping.

Ships, railway cars and eleva- tors worked at capacity to get the grain exports moving in the last crop year. And the prospects are. said the department. that Canada is in for another heavy transportation year with hopes of-another bumper wheat crop shaping up in the west.
