Says Floods in Manitoba I Showed -Need

OTTAWA. June 1-(CP) - George Drew, Progressive Con- servative leader. urged the Gov- ernment in the Commons today to

bring down legislation which would permit it better to cope with nat- ional emergencies such as the Manitoba floods.

He directed the suggestion at Resources Minister Winters. whose departmental estimates were un- der study. as the chamber cm- barked on a working schedule of three sittings a day. The unof- ficial target date for prorogation is June 30.

He proposed that the legislation. which he said could be brought down at this session. also permit the Federal Government to set up a central agency which would oo- ordlnate the efforts of provincial and municipal governments and voluntary organizations.

At the same time, he called for an early statement of the Govern- ment's plans to aid those stnicken by the Manitoba floods. They could not rebuild their homes and other- wise begin to rehabilitate them- seves until they knew what they could expect.

The general debate ranged over the broad field of activities cov-

ered by the departmental estim- ates. before the House for the first time.

Mr. Winters told the Chamber that cxperxlitures proposed by his department for 1950-51 will provide employment in all Provinces if the Provincial Governments enter into agreements in such fields as housing and construction oi the Trans-Canada. Highway.

At the House opening. Agricult- ure Minlster Gardiner announced he has signed an agreement for the carrying out oi irrigation pro- jects on the St. Mary's River in Alberta.

Mr. Drew. advancing posal. prefaced ills remarks with the statement that he was not suggesting that there should be the "slightest attempt" to over- ride provincial jurisdiction.

But he felt it was necessary that the Federal Government bring down an act. at this session if pos- sible. to provide for effective co- operation with other groups in such emergencies as-the Mani- toba flood. It also should allow the Dominion to declare a nation- al emergency when one existed.

The Dominion. for example. should be able to set up some central agency or authority to co- operate with other groups in the Manitoba floods. which undoubted- ly -was the "greatest disaster" of its kind ever to hit this country.

Authorities are raking no chances. however. Japanese police all over the country have been put on the alert.

"In fact we are fighting a battle for freedom against the possible usurpation of the rights of the church and of the parents by the state."

Cardinal Griffin said that Cath- olic Bishops had agreed to give the last act a trial on the under- standing that they would later seek an amending act and that their coats Jvould not exceed 10.- oo0.ooo pounds.

"It is boeauao thou costs have risen sohlah-. . . . thatwe are seriously concerned about the fut- ure of our schools. and it would be quite easy for our catholic schools to be administered out .of existence," he added.

Awaii Report On Bay of Fundy Power Project

OTTAWA. June i-(CPl-Re- sources Minister winters said in the Commons today he is await- ing a report from a departmental engineer at Halifax who recently surveyed the proposed site of a tidal power development at the head of the Bay of Fundy.

The engineer had flown over the proposed site and also ano- thar site where the Petitcodiac meets the .-ioiiiramcook River in New Brunswick province.

The matter was raised by Percy Black (PG-Cumberland) who said it was important that a decision be reached as soon as poasiblo "for this proposal is in conflict with the suggested Chlgnocto can- al which is being urged so dilig- ently by a great many people in the Maritime Provinces and is also in conflict with the rcclamati of the largest portion of the marsh- landa in Nova scotla."

lla laid the Bay of 1-Windy tidal development was one of the great- est possibilities of its kind in the world. calculated to produce more power than the international acc- tion of the St. Lawrence River. It was estimated that the power available would total 2.500.000 horsepower.

Mr. Winters agreed the project had tromendoua potentialities, in- volving use of the great tides of the Bay of nlndy. no than told of sending a survey engineer from Halifax. whose report ha i await- int.

The fire had swept close to the Llscomb Game Sanctuary but was turned aside by a wind shift. Such animals as bears, deer. moose. and wildcats headed eastward to safe-

The fire-fighters were encourag- ed by a. prediction of showers in? the area tomorrow. But officials warned this might be only a tem- porary relief. Another dozen fires were burning in various PRW5 07 Nova scotia but none was reported serious. They started during a dis- asterous record-breaking heat wave.

The Musquodoboit blaze began Monday and charged toward the sen unchecked for two days. It wiis headed for the coastal town of Sheet Harbor but was checked by a change of wind.

Then it roared down on the vii- lagcs of Pleasant valley and Dean. one dwelling and several barns with livestock were destroyed. Be- cause the flre came unseasonably early. it was difficult to use heavy fighting equipment due to poor traction in swamps and soggy ground.

Planes equipped with ioud5DGRk' ers directed ground operations from overhead. R. C. M.P. with walkle- taikles prowl:-d in the forests and kept up communications with the various parties and the aircraft. Men were conscripted from several parts of the Province.

Return to Homes

A Mountie reported by walkie- talkie from the head of seven Mile Lake that the villagers of Dean and Pleasant Valley he'll abandon- ed plans to evacuate. They were carting back into their wooden h the belongings they loaded on trucks when the flames licked over the rooftops.

Damage from the Musquodoboit outbmk already has been more costly to the important lumber in- dustry than that incurred during 1040.

Ioggers who entered the forest to cut pulp only,a few weeks also saw their livelihood go up in names. Their camps and most of ,their equipment were destroyed. although some managed to bury the equipment in swamps.

Asks Congress For More Than Billion tpliars

By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER.

WASHINGTON, June 1 - (AP) C President Truman today asked the United States Congress for a new 31.222.500.000 program of arms aid to foreign countries. coupled with sweeping powers to sell or give military weapons to Commun- ist-threatened countries around tile world.'

"The need and urgency for pro- tecting the ramparts of freedom has never been more plain," Tru- man said in a report to the Senate and the House of Representatives:

l "The Soviet Union has dedic- 1

ated itself to the destruction of 1

democracy and everything which i

it-represents. and is waging a -

grand struggle to make the en- tire free world slam.”

On the same theme, Defence Sec- retary Louis Johnson appealed to the Senate to give the President automatic authority to induct men. into the armed services tr. an em-l crgency.

lie urged a three-year-extension of the selective service Act with- out a 1-louse-approved limitation under which Congress would have to give approval before inductions could start.

The military aid program which the President proposed would be for the fiscal year beginning July 1. This year the United States has a program in operation, mainly to rearm Western Europe. totalling 31.314.010.000.

What the President asked. there- fore, is that Congress should auth- orize and provide funds for a sec- ond year of help in Western re- armament. with some money ill- cluded for the Middle and Far East.

In addition. Truman asked for tsro new powers of potential great importance. These are:

1. Authority gdivert "a small portion" of the arms aid funds from countries designat- ed by Congress to any other country whose "ability to de- fend itself against aggression is clearly vital to the security of the United States."

2. The right to sell arms to countries outside the arms aid program "whose increased ab- ility to defend themselves against aggression is important to the security of the United States."

These two proposals would give the second year of foreign defence assistance is more global character than the current year's program, although officials said it would be difficult to determine precisely what countries might be aided un- der the greater power which Tril- man is asking.

Covers Four Areas

The breakdown of the 31.222,- 500.000 proposed project, as given in the report. covers four areas of the world:

North Atlantic treaty area - 31.000.000.000 to be used to provide weapons. training and industrial equipment and raw materials need-
