Finance Minister Calls For iiCalculated Risks” To Solve Economic Problems

NEW YORK. Jan. 14 (CF) - Flnsnce Minister Douglas Abbott of Canada tonight said the time is ripe for taking "calculated risks"

to solve international economic pioblems. Abbott did not suggest. what

"calculated risks" should be taken. He said:

"We believe the time is ripe for courageous and positive steps on the part of all countries concerned. in is not time for rash or lll-con- sidered gestures. but it is I believe a time for taking calculated risks."

Sometimes

The Canadian said he is some- times concerned at the "glowing accounts" of Canada published in the U. S. because of the "even more unjustified opposite extremes of opinion to which you might be tempted to go if at some time things do not seem to be going quite so well."

Concerned

Canadians and Americans should always remember that each country is the but customer of the other.

"We Canadians believe that this mutually-beneficial trade should grow and prosper. We do not be- lieve that our modest exports of cheese or powdered milk constitute a threat to your way of life or even to your dairy industry."

Of Canada's future. Abbott said that "if with God's help we have peace, even my optimism would not care to mark the limits of our advance over the next 50 years."

Abbott said that the Common- wealth economic conference held in London last month made in "significant beginning" to solution

of international economic prob- lems. "During the months ahead we

shall wish to work out together a concrete and practical program. In

this the positive co-operation of the United States is vital."

Sharp Debbie Over Proposed Quebec lljlkoui

QUEBEC. Jan. 14 -(CPP) - Prcmier Duplcmis said tonight the threat of a general work stoppage by Quebec's Catholic Unions is "a call to generalize crime."

Mr. Duplessis' statement came near the close of a violent debate in the Legislative Assembly on a lingering textile strike at Louise- ville Que.

The Liberal Opposition charged "barbaric" intervention by Pro- vlnclal Police while Government speakers said the strike was or- ganized by Liberals for politcal aims.

"Certain union leaders have had the audacity to threaten the Pro-

vince with a general strike. Mr. Duplessis said.

His Government was willing to extend a friendly hand to any

labor movement seeking advance- ment of its workers.

The statement left no doubt as to the stand the Quebec Govern- ment will take in the event of a general work stoppage.

The threat was made by the Canadian Catholic Confederation of Labor in December after out-

breaks of violence at Loulseville between strikers and Provincial Police.

The CCCL decided at the time it would call the stoppage if talks led by Labor Minister Barrette did not solve the Louiseville strike which began March 10 last.

The talks failed and CCCL pres- ident Gerard Plcard announced last

week a work stoppage committee would meet this week. Tonight. Jean lifarchand. sec-

retary-general of the CCCL, said union plans have not been changed with respect to the walkout. He

added it would not be announced when the stoppage committee would meet.

Mr. Duplessls said "as Attorney- General of the Province I cannot dispasslonately consider these things.

"There are undeniable prin- ciples which must be preserved. especially in Quebec. for the re- spect. of order.

''It is our duty to enforce respect of the law because it is the best guarantee of the workers.

"No one has had the right toen- force himself what he thinks is just-justice is the right of all classes of society, -

"The right to strike must be ex- crcizod with full knowledge of what is being done and for scr- ious reasons."

LONDON. Jan. 14 -(AP) .. A group of London butchers today boycotted 400 sides of Patagonian mutton at R wholesale market. A spokesman said the meat was "in- ferior muck."

Proposed Def

SINGAPORE. Jan. 14 -(AP)- The proposal that Britain and the United states organise a South- east Asia defensive alliance :- gainst Communism revives the old bogey of white imperialism among suspicious Asians.

It is a deep-rooted fear that the Reds skillfully exploit among the millions with brown skins in this part of the world.

Reports from New York and London that Prime Minister Churchill proposed an Asian pact to President-elect Eisenhower, make sense to the military plan- nets in this big British hau.

But politically a military pact carries the danger that it may harden anti-white feelings to the point where I-ted .flfth columns could undermine military strength

Many diplomatic observers feel

Asiatics, Suspicious. Of

ence Alliance

ii-on-clad guarantees to convince ithe sensitive Asians that the lov- ereignty of newly-independent countries will not be threatened.

That is a tough assignment- maybe an impossible one-to sell to the majority of Asians, who in- atinctlvcly fear all Europeans and Americans are out to exploit them.

The mainstays of the pact would be Britain and France. defending the intern: of Mhlaya and Indo- China. and the U. S.

only militarily-weak Thailand. whose government of militarlsls has doubtful popular support. is ready now to line up with the three western countries in a de- fensive alliance.

Indonesia and Burma have fol- lowed lndia'a lead in the policy of "neutrality" between East and Vvgsl. The creation of a formal pact would otrengthen their fears

that any military pact must carrY

of war involvement.

Opposed To Strike

Prospects of relieving the traf- fic congestion on the Wood ls- Iands-Caribou service this sum- mer are now in sight, following the decision of the operating company. Northumberland Ferries Limited. to provide another boat, which has been purchased and can he made available at com- paratively small cost. It is pro- posed to run this boat in addition to the "Prince Nova" and the "Dunning" which have rendered such valuable transportation ser- vice during the past ten years.

Anniversary Of Coldest Day On Record For P.E.I.

Today marks the 30th annivcrs- ary of the coldest day ever record- ed in this Province. according fo. figures compiled by 'Mr. Warren Burns of the Meteorological office at the Experimental Farm. in the release of statistics made available yesterday dealing with the Depart- ment records over a period of fort ' three years, the all-time low was given as on Jaynuary 15th. 1923. when the thermometer registered 23 below zero. The highest was on August 19th, 1935 when the mercury soared to 98 degrees.

The warmest month on record was July 1947 and the coldest month February 1923. In the rec- ord compiled indicating hours of sunshine the month of May 1920 leads with 312.4 hours and Decent- her 1950 is at the bottom of the list with 27.9 hours.

Precipitation records gives Sep- tember 1942 the greatest rainfall with 12.40 inches. and May the driest with only .32 inches indicat- ed. September 1942 was the wettest month and May 1911 the driest.

The heaviest yearly precipitation ever recorded here was 1941, with :1 total of 54.56 inches. The driest year was 1911. with a precipitation recording of 31.8 inches.
