By James D. White Associated Press News Analyst

There should no longer be much doubt. about the plans of Commun- ism for the rest of Asia after Chins.

It was all neatly laid out last weak. in a speech by a Chinese Communist hunted Llu Shoo-Chi. This Moscoxv-edticated Chinese ad- dressed the opening of the wozld Federation of Trade Unions confer- aice in Potpinz. The topic of the meeting was Asia and probably not since Hitler's "Main Kampf" has there been such a frank statement of intention, with a stop-by-step ex- llllnllton of how it can be realized.

He said startling result; have been already obtained from the small quantities of cortisone now available, adding however:

“Those whose liopos have been raised by stories about this magic drug must remember that it is still in the experimental stage and that arthritic sufferers will probably re- quire continuous treatment.

“it is possible. however, that; cortisone might be found to con- trol arthritis as effectively as in- sulin controls diabetes."

Marlin said he will announce within a few days arrangements for research distribution in Canada of acth (adrenccorticotrophic hor- moncl. Acth also is employed with dramatic promisc- ln relieving pain and other symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis.

Smallwood Says Will End Nfld. Unemployment

By Rupert Jackson Canadian Press Correspondent ST. JOHN'S, Nfld., Nov. 27 — (CP) — A vast, new industrial em- pire that will probably change the face of the North American steel industry in the next decade will be opened up in the frozen wastes of Ungava and Labrador next year.

Premier Smallwood of New- foundland lold a press conference Saturday development. will begin by next autumn on the huge, rich iron ore deposits in the area that will pro-bably replace Minnesota's Mesnbi Iron Range as thc biggest iron producer on the continent.

Mr. Smallwood quoted corre- spondence from Canadian mining kind Jules R. Timmins, who said a group of American steel com-pan- ics has taken an option in partici- pate. with Canadian interests it! the development. Between $150,- 0000000 and $200,000,000 will be pumped into tho project in the next three years.

10 Million Tons Annually

About 10,000,000 tons of iron ore will roll annually south along a new 360-mile railway from Knob Lake, near the Labrador-Quebec border. to a nazv port lo be built a‘. Seven Islands. Que. Production lalcr ivill be stopped up to around 20,000,000 tons a ycar. The Labra- dor-Quobec iron range is known to have a capacity of 500,000,000 tons but deposits are probably far

greater than that. This gave rise to spoculntion that thc- American steel inrlustrv

Observers said creation of the new industrial empire in the heart of the wild territory that Jacques Cartier called "the land that God gave Cain" would do much more for Newfoundland than solve her unemployment situation.

Aid To Fisheries

Fisheries, chiefly suit cod, have been the mainstay of Newfound- land's economy for 452 years. Be- cause of lack of enough internal industries the island has always been sitbjcct to fluctuations in her economy according to ilic slate of the fishery markets. Ob- servers said tho northern Bou- zinza would undoubtedly be of enormous benefit to the Province‘: GCOIIOIYIY.

V/ork winter road, wthich has been built 40 miles along the railway route. Before spring, it is expected that this will be pushed through to Seven Islands. This will enable heavy machinery to be placed at various points along the rail route andconsfruction on thc railway will start at about N different points at once.

The railway itself will take about three years to build. Whilo this is being done, the other con- struction work will get under way.
