OTTAWA, April 30—(Special)— Has Prime Minister Mackenzie King broken a tradition which he has followed for upwards of 25 years, namely non-interference with provincial election campaigns? Gordon Graydon, Progressive Con- servative member for Peel and former Prog-Con. House leader charged today that he had vlu- latcd this tradition.

The Prime Minister, of course, sends cordial telegrams of greet- inga and good wishes to any pro- vincial Liberal leader who is elect- ed or returned to power as he did in tin case of Prince Edward Is- land Premier Walter Jones last December. Prior to election day he has been scrupulous 1n the past not to interfere in provincial mat-

s.

Spcakim to The Guardian to- day- M1’. Graydon said that the timing of Mr. King in tabling a cable from British Prime Minister Attica to the affect that" there had been no warning of war with Ja- pan at the time when the Genu- dian expedition sailed to defend Hung Kong, was unquestionably related to the Ontario provincnil ‘elections scheduled for figs 7. The Attica cable. Mr. Gra n dc- clurcd. was produced in the Coni- mons yesterday with the deliber- atc hope of discredlting Ontario Premier Drew.

"The fact is," Mr. Graydou said. "that Mr.-_ Drew is getting too ‘strong for. the Prime Minister.

20,000 llnaaiployad Lu Th0 Maritime:

(By The Canadian Inn)

OTTAWA, April Gil-There will be few persons looking for work this summer, the labor Dmart- ment said today. With the farm- ing and coblttruction industries al- ready moving into acasoiully-lugh activity, enrployment conditions al- ready are showing" marked 1m- pioveinent.‘ ~

At April 15, the Department rc- ported in its monthly survey of the nunpowu situation-ammo were 184.000 unpiaccd applicants includ- ing 44.000 females. However, this was onset by 43,000 unfilled vac- ancies at that date. This was 15,- 000 fewer applicants and 9,000 more open Jobs than st March 18. the date of the last survey.

Supplementing thc Labor De- partment survcy was a. report from the Bureau of Statistics, which ra- portcd the "total number of work- ers in Canada in eight major in- dustrles at 1,955,102 at March I, compared with 1,907,802 at Febru- ary 1. The Bureau's index of in- dustrial mployment, on the base 1926 equals 100. fell, to 189 at the beginning of March from 189.3 the previous month. At March 1 last year it was 180.4.

Alvcragc weekly earnings per employee in industrial work at Marc-h 1 totalled $39.44 compared with scam no. 1 and $06.61 at‘ March 1. 1047. '

In the Maritime region. there were 20.000 unplaced applicants and 2,000 unfilled vacancies at Ap- ril 15. with port activity greatly accelerated and repairing and ship- building undser way, the employ- ment situation in the Maritime region has shown ‘decided 1m- provcnnent in the last month.

The beginning of the agricult- ural season has led to o large de- nmnd for farm help. Although woods operations npw are near a standstill, the spring drives will employ thousands of men.

The bait supply, often a serious problem at the beginning of the lobster season, will cause no wor- ries to the fishermen who will be running their lines off Tigniah and Albcrton. Herring catches off those ports yesterday morning averaged 10 barrels to a. boat.

Same herring were caught o! Albcrton a week ago but last Mon- day's great storm destroyed all the nets that wu-e then set of! the harbour. So furious was the storm. that quantities oflivc lobsters were blown ashore and between Alber- tor. and Tlgnlsh some fishermen are reported to have picked up more than s. crate of lobsterawith- 1n a small stretch of the beach.

158 cases went to Brest Britain; 32,118 cases went to the dryers in Trenton. Ont, to be later shipped to Great Britain in powdered form; 3,567 cases went to New- foundland; and 30,419" cases were shipped to other Provinces inCan- adu.

The total amount oi’ money brought into the Province last year from the sale of exported eggs. live poultry, dressed poultry and chicks was $274,600. >

For the first four mouths of this year, ending yesterday. 85A67cases of eggs were exported. Of those. 18,480 cases went to Great Britain in the shell; 3.904 went in pow- dered form; 1,005 were shipped to Ncurioundland; and 11,120 cases went to other parts of Canada.

Yesterday was the closing day for ems to be exported in the shell to Great Britain until sept. 1. From now until that time eggs, -t.o be shipped to that market. in the shell, will be oiled and placed in cold storage and. beginning Sept. 1. will be exported as Grade B eggs. In the meantime, eggs will continue to be shipped to the dry- are.

Shippers Compensated

Mr. Nash said that the recent GI-per-cent increase in express rates on eggs shipped to Grcui Britain via either Halifax, Saint John, or Montreal, is being taken care of by the Special PoultryPro- ducts Board which compensates the 088 shippers for the additional increase in the express rates.

So far, the Island producer has not had to pay tho additional ex- press rates on his eggs going to the Charlottetown exporter as the exporters have been paying the ad- ditional coats themselves.

Mr. Nash said that production is slightly higher than for thecor- responding _pcrlod last. year and that the poultry industry 1a prob- ably the only section of the agri- cultural industry in. the Province whlchdoca not suffer a compari- son with last War.

EAVY BATTLE IN JERUSALEM

lGraydonWarns Canada 1 Needs Strong Military

Force To Combat Reds

mgy GEORGE KITCHEN AWA. April 30—(GP)-Gor- don Graydon (PC-Peel) today warned the Commons that Can- ada must have strong military for- ces if she is to play an eflectivc part in combatting Soviet aggres- s.on.

Stepping into a. foreign affairs debate as deputy leader of the oi-

flcial Opposition, he told the Chamber: "Canada's position should be

made clear and he: armed services should bear a. reasonabla relation- ship to our population and econ- omic strength. It may well have been dangerous in the extreme for us to have let our forces to rc- gzlglh at the low figure of only 36.-

“ff Russian aggression is halved -and there is every reason to hope that it can be-thcra still remains the need to remain firm and strong

so that‘ an effective role can be]

played-moving rezard to our n- sources-in maintaining peace."

At the same time, he called for tho outlawing of Commun- ism in Canada. and the pas- sage 0t legislation which would permit their deportation. They should be sent, he said. “to that economic and political paradise which they say exists behind the iron curtain."

_Thc debate, running into itssec- ond day and replete with warnings against Corrununiam, captured the Chamber’: interest and the cust- omary opening question period passed without a single query be- ing put to the Cabinet.

Other speakers included Joseph

Bradettc (I. — Coohrane) ,

Msclnnia (OWL-Vancouver East),

Norman Jacques (SC-Wciasski- win) and Bona Arscnauit 111- Bonaventure).

The debate continued at the night sitting, The gacakcrs were l-LG. Archibald (COF - Stems), Dr. Pierre Gauthier (L - Port- neuf) and J.M'. MacDonnell (PC- Muskoka-Ontaflc).

Mr. Graydon made these points:

1. The Soviet has proved to be an "international porch- climber" and a "diplomatic pooping tom.“

2. Canada should realize who are her fricnds- and continua collaboration with the United States, but should avoid being "hitch-hikers" in the vast field o! world affairs.
