Government

OTTAWA, March ll-(CP)-The Federal Government was urged to- day to take steps to aid Canada's vast Textile Industry where "a pail of gloom" is spreading because of foreign competition and dropping employment.

A 22-man delegation of the Tex- tile Workers Union of America (C. C. L.) told four Government min- isters that employment in the primary Textile Industry has drop- Ded 10.000 from the 104.000 em- ployed last April. some mills have closed and others have run out of work. The living standards of workers in the industry-the larg- est single employer among Canad- ian manufacturing industries-are being seriously affected.

The delegation recommended that the Government consider eas- ing consumer-credit, restrictions on textile products. take steps to con- trol the cost of living, put further controls on imports and help de- velop merchandising practices in the industry.

The delegation saw Finance Min-

ister Abbott, Labor Minister Gregg, Production Minister Howe and Transport Minister Chevrier.

The Ministers promised to consider the recommendations.

QUEBEC, March 11 - (GP) - A survey of meat wholesalers and packing houses here showed to-

day beef supplies are becoming scarce. However. one slaughter house

official said. pork. veal and poul- try supplies are so plentiful that farmers bringing animals to market are turned back because there is little cold storage space available.

Because of Quebec Government restrictions on western beef. On- tario is the province's major source of beef. Wholesalers say they no paying a higher price for Ontario beef than they would normally pay on western markets.

Pinay ls Given Vote of Approval

PARIIS, March 11 -(AP) --The Natlonal Assembly today voted its approval. 290 to 101. of Conservat- ive Prcmier Antoine Pinay's new French Cabinet. pledged to stand against Communism in Europe and Asia. But. two powerful groups ab- stained.

The cabinei's support came from middle and rightist deputies. The Cornmuists and a lone De Gaullist. made up the opposition.

Other followers oi Gen. Charles de Gaulie. including most of the 27 dissidents who violated party orders by voting for Pinay when he came up for confirmation as Prem- ier last week. joined the Socialists in abstaining.

Their idea is to let Pinay stay on a while to show what he can do with this 20th government France has had since the Germans were driven out in 1944.

Financing a huge defence bud- get. halting inflation and revamp- ing France's tax system are among Pinay": big problems.

Pearson Accuses C.C.F. of Giving Comfort To Russia-

OTTAWA, March ll--(CP)--Ek- ternai Affairs Minister Pearson tonight accused the C. C. F. giving comfort to Russia "irrespons'biy" advocating cut- backs in North Atlantic Treaty reurmament targets. Such an atti- tude. he said, could lead to dis- aster.

"The tragic fact is that, though the feeling of tension arising from the menace of Russian mili- tary aggression. has to some ex- tent eascd in recent months, the situation remains explosive and full of danger." Mr. Pearson said in a prepared speech.

Present rearmamcnt goals are an absolute minimum, he declar- ed.

"It would be foolish-and worsc -to siackcn in our determination now to carry out the policy of collective defence which is be- ginning to make an impression in- side the Kremlin walls."

In a free-time CBC political broadcast. the chairman of N. A. T. O.'s Council singled out in particular statements by the C. C. F. national council that N. A. T. 0. has become dominated by military leadership which has set "disastrous and irresponsible" targets. In particular the C. C. F. deprecated the aim to have 50 divisions in being this year. said the figure was impossible to nt- tain and that the effort may wreck the economies of western European powers.

The Communist Line

Mr. Peartson said it is "sai" that the C.C.F. seems to be mov- ing towards the Communist. posi- tion which holds that the Atlantic Alliance of 14 countries is an ag- gressive coaiition. The phrases used by the C. C. F. represented "exactly how the Kremlin would describe" N.A.T.O.'s goals of 50 divisions this year. 90-100 by 1954.

LONDON, March 11-(CP)-Britain's

Conservative

Government sharply changed the nation's economic course

today in a record peacetime

budget which increases the

family food bill but provides compensating pensions, allow-

ances and tax incentives.

In a widely ranging speech, sprinkled with references to the "grim" economic situation, treasury boss Richard A. Butler also raised the bank rate from 21,5; to four per cent, the highest in 20 years. announced another i100,000,000 reduction in imports, introduced a 30-per-cent excess prof- its tax based on lush profit-making years and slapped an- other levy on gasoline, bringing the cost of a gallon to

four shillings three pence.

Labor opposition members, crowded together on the green benches of the House of Commons. jeercd when Butler announced the increased bank rate. But their complaints were even louder when he said that Britain's food subsidies will be clipped from a yearly total of more than I400,- 000,000 to i250,000,000.

Basic Food Coats l'p

This will mean increase: in the cost of such basic foods as tea, meat, milk and bread, adding an estimated one shilling six pence a week to the food bill of every in-

dividuai and defying Socialist cinlms that the subsidies should be unmolsied.

To soften the effect of the sub- sidy cuts-which may prove the budgets most decisive political stroke-the Chancellor of the Ex- Cheque-r pledged "radical changes" in income tax which will exempt 2,000,000 persons from paying any tax at all. . '

While the standard rate. If- fecting high incomes. remains un- changed at nine shillings six pence in the pound. substantial relief is granted particularly in lower-sal- ary brackets to reward "extra ef- fort and longer hours."

Butler's budget provides for I surplus of March 31. i953-end of the next fiscal year-of i:510,000.- 000 (S-1,428,000,000). This compares with an estimated surplus of L370.- 000.000 at the end of the current fiscal year.

Butler described his budget sur- plus as "Just about what is re- quired." The object of the budget. surplus-excess of revenue over spending-is to keep the money out. of circulation as an anti-inf1at- ion device.

(The pound sterling is quoted around 52.50 Canadian in inter- national exchange dealings but this does not indicate its buying power in the United Kingdom.)

other Chlligea

The Chancellor, in his first bud- get address also announced these changes:
