Mixed Reception To . Union Talk In B.W.|.

KINGSTON, Jemiaica, March 21 — (CP) — The suggestion from Jean-Francois Poulioi. Itidc-pcnd- 6M Liberal member of the Cum- c-nons for Temiscouata, that Can- ad-a take over the British West Indies got a. mixed reception here Saturday.

w. A. austmisrit», Mlifllltel‘ es Communications in the Island Government and virtual Prune Minister, said: "I will rcsisi. with all influence at lily command any attempt by Canada for Jamaica lo become pert. of its dominion.

“The color question is nun-h more rampant irl Canada. than in the Southern and Western United States. We are staying with Eng- land."

Norman Manley, leader People's National Party, sriici; "Don't lake the proposal srrluusly. Members of Parliament iviidiiiotli- lng to do are always making SDITI." proposals or other of this

won't grow grass."

On the other hand. WR. Young- man. president of the Cziribbcnli Chambers of Cotnnncrcc. siiid: "l throw it down as a challenge that Canada should come to the rescue of the West Indies.

"I think that the time ing when responsibility must be divided amiung the greater Drui- inions. Canada. has grown up. I think she may have to make her- self responsible for the economic welfare of the West Indies.

“The Old Country is losing I101" grip and the ability to look after her family."

Russians iluit Control Council

BERLIN. March ill - (AP) — The Russians abruptly walked out cf an Allied Control Council meet lng Saturday after charging the Western Powers had proved liy their actions "that the control council no longer exists as an or- gan of government."

The Russians adjourned the meeting and strode out. leaving the representatives of Britain, France and the United States sitting at the table.

There was no indication, how- ever, that the Russians had walk~ ed out of the Council for good.

Earlier in tile day the British Military Government reported that German volunteers are rushing to enlist in a mythical Gcrmsll army which the Russian-controlled press alleged is being recruited by ilic Western Powers.

The Russian propaganda, appar- ently had boomeranged.

WESTERN POWERS

and Britain the Northern Terri- tory. Saturday's announcement ac-

cused the Yugoslavs in effect of violating the arrangement, It sa-d that “Yugoslavia has taken, in the zone under her charge, measures which definitely compromise the possibility of applying the statute.“

The move of the Western Na- tions presented the Russians uiltn very little choice of reaction. ii they support the Western Powers they \vil1 in effect be turning their backs on all their previous argu- ments for a Yugoslav Trieste and thereby be kicking their Yugo- slav satellite in the face.

But if Russia sides with Yugo-

slavia that will be s slap in thc face for the ltolian Communists.

Geography, for one thing, umkes ille Italian elections enomentous.

Italy thrusts far into the Med- lerranesn. and so bulwarks Greece, Turkey and the vital Near East. She faces Communist Yugoslavia across the narrow Adriatic. She abuts Trieste, political powder bnr- rel which the Western Powers now propose to restore to lrr. She cori- nccts through the Brenner Pass with occupied Austria. She flanks Switzerland and France.

If Italy goep Coznmunlst. many here believe France and ell West- ern Europe will follow. Then Rus- sia would stand on the shores of the Atlantic.

But Italy is vital for other rea-

ons. A British observer said: "Iiere
