Britain May Recognize Red China Next Month g
IDNDON, Oct. l7 — (CP) - Britain is expected to grant full recognition to the Chinese Com- niunist Government next month, a usually reliable source said to- day. ,
Meanwhile, diplomatic officials reported, the British Consul-Gen- eral in Peiping is trying to estab- lish temporary working relations with the Communist administra- tlon.
The Consul-General, W. G. C. Graham, is said to have sent a
WASHINGTON, Oct. 1'7 (CP)-Diplomatic sources said here today that Britain has assured the United States and other Western Powers that she is not proposing at this time to grant even "de facto" rec- ognltion to the Chinese Com- munlst regime.
early this month suggesting that iday-io-day working arrangements be set up.
I‘. is understood that Foreign Secretary Bevin made up his mind some time ago that when the Chinese Communists were in pos- session of virtually the whole of China there was little purpose in denying full recognition. With the fall of Canton, the Nationalist forces have been reduced io three main areas of resistance, around. Chungking, around Kwellln and on the island of Formosa.
British sources have made it plain that the British Govern- ment would like to reach a prac- tical working basis with the Com- munists in those ports of China under Red control.
But little progress in this di- rection has been made. The Com- munlsis are anxious to obtain full recognition.
If is believed that such a step on the part of Britain will be de- ferred until Sir Ralph Stevenson. British Ambassador to the Nation- alist Government, reaches London in mid-November. Sir Ralph now is in Shanghai.
Day-fto-day arrangements have never been defined by Foreign Office spokesmen. They say pri- vately the lphrase “covers every- thing."
It presumably would indicate re- gulation of conditions under which British business men operate and protection ofiliritish liver and property.

OTTAWA, Oct! i7 - (Special)- A Federal government grant of $1,000 a. bed. to the Prince County Hospital, now under construction at Suimmerside is expected to be announced this week, it was learn- ed hero today. Total amount 01 the Dominion grant under pres- ent plans would be between $125.- 000 and $150,000.

Health and Welfare Minister Alex W. Matheson conferred with Dr. GD-W- Cameron. Deputy Minister of Notional Health and senior medical officers of the Department on the Prince County Hospital grant. Architects plans were ex- amined, and Mr. Matheson was question :1 closely as to the hos- pital needs of the Summerside area and expected needs in years to come. At the conclusion of the confer- ence, Mr. Matheson reported that “very satisfactory progress" had been achieved and that he had every hope that the grant as re- quested, will be approved by the Federal authority, There are still some further discussions to be held prior to final decision.

Implementation of the grant is conditional on prov- incial governments matching the Federal subsidies dollar for doilnr. It is understood tillat the Prince Edward Island government is pre- pared to contribute on this basis immediately the Federal grant is officially sanctioned.
Smallwood I Announces Employmfnl Plan
5'1‘. JOHN'S, Nfld.. Oct. 17 - (0P)— Newfoundlandia war and post-war prosperity period ls over. Premier Smallwood told the Legis- lature today as he announced a new program to help alleviate the province's growing unemployment situation.
l-le said Newfoundland would have a difficult time this winter as a result of the layoff of large num- ber of civilian employees by the three American bases, the "lspoctac- ular failure" of the fisheries in many sections of the Province and the "belt-tightening" by the news- print industry.
‘Dhe Premier said Newfoundland had always had the dole in bad times i-in that apparently previous governments had not done much to get away from if. He now proposed work of a useful nature instead. Under the scheme he announced. able-bodied persons needing re- lief-it, was estimated there are 9,000--w0uld be given work building roads. schools, bridges and other public works,
‘Workers would be paidcd cents an hour for the first day's labor, then contribute s second day's laibor free. By this means, wages would not drop under standard wages for unskilled workers. The scheme will run from November to March. Mr. Smallwood said he hoped that the dole could be elim- inalted by next month.
l-lo added that the works program would be more (zutily than tho dole but "it won't be noompanied by the degradation of dole and will be of benefit to the whole Province." He recalled that in the early 1930's. the dole amounted to six cents a day.
Mi". kuallwood llld the only real answer to the dole was further indudrlal devclqiment. The Gov- ernment had been working over- time in efforts to bring new in- dustries to the Province.
The Oovernmerw now was cori- aidoring eight new industrial pro- jlctl. If those fell throuflh. it mill“ use-part of the war-accumulated ailrplul to aibaidise establishment of similar once. ~

IONDON, Oct. 17 --(AP) - Brltain may never build another battleship.
Tho naval power, whose ships of the line have been famous simc before tho days of Lord Nelson. now has five. Well-informed sour- ces say these are considered plenty for a long time to come.

Four of Britain's five battleships have gone into reserve because it mots so much to man and sail capital ships in peacetime. The fifth, the 425004011 Van ard. has been assigned to a train g squad- ron.
This does not mean. one source said. that the Admiralty thinks it. has no further use for battle- ships. It means, he explained. that

By JOHN LEBLANI
OTTAWA, Oct. l’! — (CP) -A Federal Government move to take over full power: of amend- ing some sections of the British North America Act, today plung- ed the Commons into a lengthy constitutional debate.
The three Opposition parties split. on the issue, Mtl-i the C. C. F. backing the Government and the Progressive Conservative and Social Credit groups oppos- ing any Federal assumption of amending powers without prior consultation with the Provlncev.
The Government proposed, in l petition drafted for submission to the United Kingdom Parliament, to give the Canadian Parliament: power to amend those B.N.A. Act amendments dealing exclusively with Federal matters.
For the present-pending a Do- nunion-Provincial conference there would be no change in the amending powers on provincial or joint Dominion-Provincial matters. or on questions of education or those dealing with the use of the English or French languages in Canada. _
The Progressive Conservative Party opposed the move without advance consultations with that Provinces, and leader George Drew proposed an amendment to the Government resolution call- ing for a Dominion-Provincial "constitutional convention“ before acting.
