The resolution supported by the United States and Britain is one of two proposals put before the comm- ittee today by Rau on behalf of the 13 Asian and Middle East count- ries.

The second resolution. sponsored only by 12 countries, recommends that the assembly set up a comm- ittee to meet and make recommen- dations for peaceful settlement of existing issues in the Far East. The Philippines went along on the first proposal, but stood aside on the second.

560000.000 Next Year

..0'f'rAWA. Dec.. 12. -(CP)- Britain is preparing to double the dollars available for Canadian food purchases in 1951, informed quar- ters said today.

If agreement can be reached. and this is expected next week, Britain's purchases of Canadian foodstuffs- excluding wheat-next year may total 800,000,000. compared with about 330,000,000 in 1950.

These figures cover a variety of foods. such as bacon, cheese and apples. Negotiations for wheat are carried out separately under the terms of the International Wheat Agreement. Britain already has declared her intention to purchase about 120,000,000 bushels from Can- ada in the 1950-51 crop year, if prices are normal.

Negotiations for bacon and cheese agreements now are reach- ing the final stages. Aii announce- ment likely will be made next week. disclosing that the Canadian Government is willing to consider the UK. offer, but is not ready to grant subsidies to enhance prices for the Canadian producers.

The British offer, it was dis-! ulosed. is the same as in 1950: 241i cents a pound for bacon and 26; cents a pound for cheddar. How-. ever, though the U.K. received only 35,000,000 pounds of bacon in 1950. she is prepared to increase the order from the target figure of 60,000,000 in 1950 to 130,000,000 in 1961.

Britain ordered 70,000,000 pounds of cheddar in 1950, but received only 50,000,000. She is prepared to renew the 70,000,000-order at the old price. The problem. of course, is whether Canadian producers will fill the orders at those prices.

In 1950. the government paid a subsidy of 3 1-2 cents a pound on bacon and 3 cents on cheese to spur -sales to Britain, There appears to be a reluctance to step into the subsidy field again at least in the case of bacon and cheese.

Besides an H of Canadian bacon and cheese, Britain also is preparing to increase her orders for Canadian apples. An order "for

apples was placed earlier this year at a cost of about 52,200,000

Britain now is preparing to in- crease that oirder by 330,000 boxes, which likely will cost an additional 3668.000.

Says Truman' Threatens World

NEW YORK. Dec. 12 -iAP) - Russia's Andrei Vishlnsky accused President Truman today of threat- enlnig the world with the atom bomb. He said the President in- .tends to continue the threats un- til all control of atomic energy is put into the hands of "American monopolisi.s."

The soviet Foreign Minister re- ferred briefly to Truman's state- ment that use of the atom bomb in Korea was always under con- sideration. Vlshinslry was replying in the United Nations to an eight-

means of lumping a study of atomic energy control with the problem of reducing world arma- ments.

Conservatives Unanimously

Nominate Wing

Wing Commander John Angus MacLean. D.F.C., of Lewis, last night was unanimously nominated to contest. the coming Federal by- election in Queen's at the Pro- gressive Conservative Convention held at the Empire Theatre here, Mr. MacLean's name was the only one to come before the convention.

The largely attended moetinil was enthusiastic in support of the candidate who twice before WES nominated by his party. His nom- inaticn was moved by Mr. Matt Wood and seconded by Mr. M. Alban Farmer of this city.

when chairman Reagli Bagnall. Hunter River, introduced Mr. Mac- Lean. he received a great ovation

from the big crowd representing the '

many polls in Queens County. He told the meeting that "those are critical times and that every poss- 'ible step must be taken to prevent. war." niitl added, ”We must also set! that our country is strong enough to survive in the event of -war."

The newly nominated candidate alsosuggested it" would be well for the Dominion if a good percentage of representatives in Ottawa should be nicn who "have experienced the horrors cf'wnr". and stated that this was the only Province not rep- resented by a war veteran.

In giving his reasons for permit-1 ting his name to come before ti-.el convention he said that one eon-I sideration was the fact that he had already defeated the present

Handicrafts Building For:

PEI Plowing Match Assin E

I D'scussed l The prospect of erecting a liandl-l crafts building on the Dundast Plowing Match grounds was dis- cussed at length last night at thel annual meeting of the P. E. I. Plowing Match Association which was held in Bridgetown Hall with B.-esident Leslie S. Hunter presid- ing. .

The building, if erected, will be fairly large in size and will be used for exhibiting vegetables, home cooking. sewing and goods along similar lines. ,

One of the main reasons for the construction of such a building wold be to increase interest in the annual match which has been gain- lng in popularity each year. The match will he a two-day event in 1051 as it was in September this year.

The members at last night's meeting. which was fairly well at- tended. also decided to improve Bridgetown Hall. The Association has owned the hall since 1944.

The Canadian who commanded the evacuation and bombardment sor- lie of Chlnnampo, one or the toughest naval operations in the Korean war. reported the success of his mission in just three words -"withdrawal successfully com- pleted."

Navy headquarters told the story today.

While some 7,000 military per- sonnel and Korean civilians were being .. acuaied there was some guerrilla activity taking place ashore. with the "occasional sniper shooting uptown."

”Canada's Cayuga took oil tanks. freight cars, and port facilities. while off to the right the Austral- ian destroyer Bataan and the U. S. S. Forrest Royal were shelling yards. ammunition stores. factor-

trated. The city proper. which is set. further back among hills. was not touched in the bombardment."

Truman To Speakm 0n World Crisis

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12 --(ATP) -The White House disclosed today that President Truman will speak to the country 1-hclday or Saturday night on the world crisis. Many legislators expected him to out- line steps toward placing the country's economy on virtually a war footing.

Truman's intcntion to give the American people a radio report on the grave world situation and the moves he ihlr.-ks necessary on the home front was revealed by high White House sources.

A member of the cabinet. who did not want his name used, told reporters later that the President was "shooting for Friday night" as the time of his speech.

The radio address will follow an extraordinary conference of con- gressional loaders and government officials at the White lvlouse to- morrow io consider proclamation of a national emergency.

TOKYO, Dec. 13 -- (Wednesday) (AP)-All fighting forces of the U. S. 10th Corps in Northeast Kor- ea have eluded Chinese Commun- ist traps and pulled back to the coastal area. a field dispatch indic- ated today.

”Every U. N. fighting man in Northeast Korea now is jammed into the snow-splotched coastal flatlands," AP correspondent Stan swinton reported from that sector.

Guns of United Nations warships are in position to cover wide areasl of those flatlands, l

Swinton's report came from a front where widely-scattered forc-I es of the 10th Corps have beenl withdrawing to escape more thanl 100,000 Chinese Reds. ,

"Abandoned to the enemy are that Korean cities whose liberation wast trumpeted in a long series of op-, tlniistic communiqucs," Swlntonl said. .

Howe Will Seek U. S. Steel And Offer Aluminum.

OTTAWA. Dec. J2-(CF)-Trade Minister Howe will fly to Wash- ington tomorrow on a twirl metal mission. '.-

He will seek to increase the flow of American steel into Can- nda and at the same time convey Canada's offer to supply the Am- erican stockplle with a big chunk of aluminum.

The steel issue is by far the more important. The U. S. supply of steel to Canada has almost been choked off during lhe last few months by U. S. export re- strictions.

Some Canadian cdmpanles pro- ducing civilian goods are feeling the pinch nnd unless Mr. Howe is successvful in his mission some of them may have to close shop.

Normal annual imports of about 1.000.000 tons of ingots from the ll. S. have been cut to about 650,000 tons this year. Mr. Howe will point. out to Commerce Sec- retary Charles Sawyer t h e urgency of increasing this output quickly.

Cnnnria previously had offered if. S. stockpilcrs 200.000 tons of nlumintlm. When the United Slnlvs sliowcrl some hesitation Canada :old the aluminum to the

of. llyesanjin. across the Yallll River from Manchurla. Swinton mentioned 1-fyesanjin

and Kapsan among the cities giv- en up. The precise whereabouts of the 17th regimental combat team has been a secret ever since it was ordered to withdraw more than a week ago. '
