Main line of fire was along the Riviera Sault au Cochon flowing north-south into the St. Lawrence River. Flames also burned along three tributaries. The mouth of the Sault nu Cochon is at Bale Laval a few miles from here.

Two lumbering camps, one of them new, have been engulfed in the flames.

Forestville residents weren't particularly worried although bil- lows of smoke and clouds of ashes rolled over the town Thurs- day.

Direction of the wind changed slightly during the night. But it: was enough to eliminate danger.

Crijics OF Korean Deal

Atlantic Premiers To Attend Conference With Trade Board

Tells Labor They Committed Britain TL Course

LONDON. (Reuters) -;- Prime Minister Churchill Friday night told Labor critics of the 16-coun- try declaration on Korea. that they themselves committed Britain to it when they were in office.

The prime minister, back in fighting form after his illness, issued his formal statement only a few hours after the Labor party condemned the government for not disclosing terms of the 10- country declaration before Parlia- ment adjourned for its summer recess.

The declaration, signed July 27 but revealed only last Friday, warned the Communists that if they broke the Korean truce, the fighting probably would spread to China.

Churchill said it was revealed to the House of Commons Feb. 16. 1952. "that the late government had gone so far as to agree that if heavy air attacks from bases in China were made upon United Nations forces in Korea, they would associate themselves with

water poured from ships and planes to a people dazed by the greatest natural disaster in motl- ern Greek history.

The earth trembled 11 times in the night, but the tremors were relatively mild and the Athens observatory said they could be regarded as a normal aftermath of the catastrophe estimated to, have killed more than 1,000 per-i sons.

Mercy Fleet

A mercy fleet of warships un-l tier a half rlozcn flags was battling the misery and desolation spread across Kofiillinin, Ithaca and Zakinthos. Americans. Brit- ons, Israelis, Frenchmen and lt- alians labored alongside the Greeks.

Helicopters and planes dropped packages of bread, meat and water to survivors huddled in the hills. Mainland hospitals took in hundreds of injured, often child- ren suffering from shock, and

action not confined to Korea. "There is therefore no change whatever in principle in the poli- cies followed by the late socialist government or by Her Majesty's present advisers." A Labor party statement, re- leased a few hours before Church- ill's reply. said the party rejected ”any implication of commitment to the extension of hostilities in the Far East that may be con- tained in the declaration", ,

Premiers of the four Atlantic Provinces have accepted an in- vitation, tendered by the Marl- time Provinces Board of Trade, to meet with the MPBT Executive council at Moncton, N.B., on Mon- day. September 14 for a "round table" chat on matters pertaining to the welfare of the Maritlmes. Announcement of this important meeting was made, today. by G. G. Anglin, C.B.E., Saint John. Pre- sident of the MPBT.

In releasing details of the meet- ing. Mr. Anglin commended the co-operation and courtesies ex- tended by thc four Premiers in al- lotting their personal time for a discussion of items to be present- ed on behalf of all 113 Boards of the MPBT and the communities they represent.

At a press conference in the Canadian capital before he left for New York to take up his- duties as president of the general as- semlily, Pearson said it was good guess that Russia would be represented at the conference.

Until normal work resumes Mon- day. there will be no way of de- termining whether the anti-gov- ernment movement has lost any impetus. A scheduled strike of newspaper printers Sunday, pre- venting publication of Monday newspapers, should add to the confusion.

Rattles Ordered

Comniunists ordered a series of strike rallies during the week-end to keep interest from lagging among the workers. They are also expected to issue a series of new strike calls, particularly to auto- mobile factory workers who return Monday from their summer vaca- (ions.

The Communists have two main objectives:

1. To wrest leadership of the strike movement from Socialist and Catholic labor leaders.

2. To force the overthrow of Premier Joseph Laniei's govern- ment in favor of a leftist "popular front" regime.

Danger Period

If the Communists succeed in gaining control of the strikes, the Socialists' original aim of defend- ing public workers' salaries and pension 'plan will become second- ary to political issues. Communist leadership could also lead to the first, violence of the 10-day-old movement.

The ”danger period" is expected next week during anniversary cel- ebrations of the wartime libera- tion of Paris. Communist demoli- strators sgaln will carry steel poles and metal flags which they. have turned against police in past outbreaks.

It was also announced, that the Maritime Transportation Commis- sion of the MPBT would join the meeting to report progress of pre- sent hearings and possible course of action to be taken when the findings of the Board of Trans- port Commissioners are tabled.

Mr. Anglin further stated that MPBT members were elated that such an historic meeting could be arranged and hoped that solutions to some of our problems for the mutual benefit of the Maritimes and Canada could be eventually arrived at following further con- sultation between the Premiers

3,500 Reserve Soldiers

Pl-JTAWAWA, Ont. (CP)- The nrmy disclosed Friday that 3,500 Eastern Canadian reserve soldiers took a week": summer field train- lng at this sprawling military centre this year.

The men represented 44 reserve army regiments, units and forms- tions from Windsor, 0nt., to St. John's. Nfld. They consumed more than 125 tons of food dur- ing the eight weeks training per- iod.

Col. Duncan Douglas, Peiawawa ramp commander, said the train- ing was "realistic and carried out with great. enthusiasm."

"The outstanding performance nf many of the reserve force units gives evidence of the sound-

ness of their training at their local headquarters ' during the winter months," he said.
