Trade Mln-i's’rer Charged Wi’r‘h‘Misleading House
OTTAWA (CP) — An optimistic Commons review Thursday on Ca- nadian trade by Trade Minister Churchill drew sharp opposition
" criticism that he had ignored im-
portant facts and misled the House. -
The Minister said Canada’s commodity export-s during 1957 sailed along at a record of almost
, $300,000,000 and added that fig-
ures for this year show even greater improvement. The 1957 figure was two per cent higher than 1956.
George Mchlraith (L —,Ottawa West) said that an "apparent" im- provement in Canada’s deficit trading position with the U.S. re-
. suited “from a sharp decline in
the importation of capital goods to develop this country."
H. W. Herridge (CClF —- Koot- enay West), taking up mention by Mr. Churchill that Canada expects a “substantial” build-up in trade
with Communist Cluna, said the ' . best way to start would be to ex-
tend . diplomatic recognition to that country’s government.
Mr. Churchill said the improve- ment in Canada’s export position was due in great part to increased overseas shipments of Canadian wheat and uranium, and stepped- Ifipsexpmts of beef cattle to the
foreign trade was vital to Can- ada, Mr. Churchill said, and a dominant influence was the U.S.
AWARE OF CANADA
Rean to talks last week be- tween President Eisenhower and Prime Minister Diefenlbaker, he added:
“There is some evidence that the government and public in the U.S. are becoming more keenly aware of the importance of good relations with Canada."
Major points made by the min ister in his hourdong review:
1. Up to July 9 in the current crop year ending July 31, Canada had exported 291,600,000 bushels of wheat and flour, against 246,- 700,000 bushels to the same date
we will reach and exceed our ex- port target of 300,000,000 bus - els‘ll
2. The government anticipates building up trade with Communist China “substantially.”
3. Canada has a'special appre- ciation of The West Indies fed- eration’s problems of nationabuild- ing and as a trading partner.
Canadian exporters were show- ing “vigor and imagination” in meeting the challenge of inter- national trade, the pattern of which was changing, and the country’s foreign trade deficit was decreasing. ‘
Mr. Mc'llraith said Mr. Chur- chill’s statement lacked essential details of some subjects and omitted others altogether.
Analysis of the minister’s tig- ures showed, Mr. McIlraith said, that imports of capital goods, on as heavy construction equipment, had dropped.
“The reason is because we are sutfering a big recession, and the development we would! all like to see requiring the importation of heavy capital equipment and the like is not going on.”
MISLEADING FIGURES .
Mr. Mollraith said that ...,in list wheat exports the minister was including Colombo'Plan shipments to India and Pakistan, and had
lumped the 19.57% figures of ship- ments to Russia under a three- year contract.
Still on wheat, he accused Mr. Churchill of neglecting to mention that Australia had a crop failure last year and that there was a reduction in the Argentine crop. canadien beef exports to the U.S. had risen because of .a drought in the beef - producing southern states.
Mr. Mdlraith said the minister had altogether omitted mention of Canada’s oil - exports difficulty, caused by a U.S. import cutback requested by the U.S. Neither had trade diversion, free trade, or the forthcoming Commonwealth trade and economic conference in Mont-
real been mentioned.
On none of those omitted tlelds had the government announced its policies. ,
NOTES OMISSION .
J. W. Pickersgiil (L—Bonavista- Twillingate), noting Church- ill’s omission of reference to di- version of4 trade from the U.S. to the U.K., said:
“I hope we have heard the last of that fallacy. It will be known in history as the great diversion that became the great deception.” Mr. Piotensgin urged that the government take the same inter- est in the Maritimes' salted cod- fish that it takes in the prairies’ Wheat. Special steps should be taken to protect the French and Italian market for Canadian cod. The Newfoundland member said he tears Italian retaliation may follow an announcement two «weeks ago that the government intends to negotiate under the General Agreement on Trade and Tariffs (GAlT-T) for an increase in woollen textiles tariffs. Italy ex- ports textiles. to Canada and a b rier might induce Italy to erect one against Canadian fish.

By R. B. MacLURKIN LONDON (Reuters)—The House of Commons supported the gov- ernment for sending troops into Jordan, Thursday night.
The Conservatives won a House of Commons vote of confidence by 314 to 251. z
The vote came after Prime
'Minister Macmillan said British
troops would not be used again-st the revolutionaries in Iraq. Aneurin Bevan, the Opposition Labor party’s fo r e i g n acifairs spokesman, said: “The govern- ment may have taken a long step toward plunging this country into war.” -
Macmillan said Britain sent troops to Jordan after learn- ing of a plot by the United Arab Republic to ovethrow pro-Western King Hussein.
He strongly defended the troop landings, stating that it “is not right to abandon one’s friends in time of trouble."
But Bevan retorted: “Since when was it the duty of our gov- ernment to suppress revolution?" "If the request from King Hus- sein ranks as a justification for putting troops into Jordan, the

Iraqi government in Baghdad would be perfectly entitled to in- lvite assistance from Russia,” Bevan added.
SHARP ATTACK
Sharply attacking government policy, Bevan said: “Jordan is a kept country and Hussein is a kept king and has been for many years.”
But Macmillan replied that the .United Arab Republic of Egypt and Syria had planned a‘coup in Jordan Thursday similar to the one in Iraq on. Monday. British intelligence agents had borne out King Hussein’s fears that the re- volt was planned.
He said Jordan had also asked for aid from the United States.
The United States had assured Britain of “full moral support.”
Macmillan said Britain was fly- ing 2,000 troops into Jordan as an initial force.
Labor leader Hugh Gaitskell warned that the intervention was “fraught with the garvest risks . . . to the peace of the world,” and urged Macmillan to try to talk to the Soviet Union about the situation. 1

Macmillan said Hussein had asked for aid as king of Jordan — o as head of the Arab union of Jordan and Iraq, a post he as- sumed after his cousin Faisal was killed in the Iraqi revolt.
