Predict Canada Will ' Start Seaway-Power Project Next Spring

OTTAWA, June 18 - (CF) -- Pians for all-Canadian navigation facilities on the St. Lawrence sea- way-power project pushed ahead today despite the United States ssnats'e shelving of legislation for a joint Canada-US. job.

Right after the senate setback to full U.S. participation, official quarters here predicted a start on the 38.50.000.000 undertaking by next spring if a go-ahead is re- ceived in time from the interna- tional joint commission.

The US. Government is con- tinuing its co-operation with Can- ada in an application before the commission for permission to change river levels for the power scheme. Under that alternative plan, Ontario and some authority designated by the U.S. administra- tion would create the power pro- ject. The Canadian Government alone would build the navigation works but will not proceed unless the power phase can be construct- ed concurrently.

Transport Minister Chcvrier said today he expects the senate move will not interfere with that. He told the commons the applica- tion to the commission - which regulates the boundary waters - wiil be made "forthwith."

"The decision of congress.” he said in the commons, should not

The congressional action coin- cided with the arrival here of Hume Wrong, Canadian ambassador in Washington. Officials said he is here for a regular periodical con- ' but undoubtedly will dis- cuss the seaway with the govern- ment.

The Canadian and US. applica- tion to the international commis- sion will ask specifically for auth- orization to build the S400,000,000 hydro system on the river.

Present expectations here are that the commission will get right to work and conclude hearings as quickly as possible. Favorable de- cision is expected.

Five To Seven Year Project

A construction period of be- tween fivc and seven years is anti- cipated by cfflciais. It would take five years for the power project- which might be shaved to 4 1-2 -and another two for the naviga- (ion.

The seaway will enable ocean ships up to 27-fopt draught to enter Lake Erie by way of a series of locks and channels up- river from Montreal. The remaind- er of the co rse through the Great Lakes will is dredged, ii. job the US. is expected to do.

Calls Aileniion

OTTAWA, June 18 - (Special) -Danger of drunkenness through drinking hair tonic and in parti- cular a hair tonic named "Shaka" were brought to the attention of the House of Commons late today by W. Chester S. Mcnure, Pro- gressive Conservativc member for Queen's.

In discussion of the Northwest Territories Act. Mr. McLure men- tioned these tonics as intoxicat- ing beverages that were probably not" specifically mentioned under the Act as banned. He said that many of the people who are get- ting drunk today, according to police records, get drunk on these lotions and tonics.

Resources Minister Winters re- plied that in his opinion, hair tonics containing rtcohol would come directly under the prohibi- tions of the Act.

U. S. Deleg-ale Gives Views To U. N. Council

By Francis W. Carpenter

UNITED NATIONS, N. Y., June 18-(AP)-U. S. delegate Ernest A. Cross said today Russia and Red China. have set the stage for using germ warfare by making repeated charges that the United States and the United Nations are carry- ing on bacteriological warfare in Korea.

Gross made the statement in a sharp retort to Russia's Jakob Malik in the U. N. Security Coun- cil after Malik, in a surprisingly mild speech, had merely appealed to the council to recommend that all countries, including the U. S. ratify the 1925 Geneva protocol agairiat such weapons.

Malik spoke for is minutes with- out mentionlng once the Russian and Communist charges made in the U. N. Disarmament Commis-

He said there was a reservation to the 1925 protocol by the Russians that if an enemy or an ally of an enemy used such weapons the Russians were free to use them. Gross said this reservation, plus the charges made time and again by the Rus- sians and the Communist Chinese showed they were setting

stage for using such weapons.

Test Sugar Cane Waste For Paper

WASHINGTON. June 18 -(AP) -A ton of Louisiana bagasse is being shipped here and scientists will test paper-making qualiites of the sugar-cane waste. Bagasse- the pulpy residue after the juice is pressed from sugar canc-al- ready has been used to produce paper. Several southern newspap- ers have printed editions on bagasse newsprint.

Representative Edwin Willis (Dem. La.) said the chief purpose is to have a government agency put its stamp of approval on the processes. C

such recognition, he said, will make it easier for sponsors of the new paper-making methods to ob- tain needed financing.

Willis said bagasse paper can be produced for about :65 a ton, compared with newsprint prices of about 3120 in the U. S.

- Tenders Being Prim Point Wharf Repairs

OTTAWA, June 10 -(Special)- Tenders are being called by the Federal Works Department today for wharf repairs at Prim Point. Queen's County. at the extremity of the peninsula partly enclosing I-lllisborcugh Bay. The project will involve approximately S25,000 and closing date for tenders is July 10.

The work involves the complete rebuilding of the outer section of the Prim Point wharf extending 78 feet in length by 20 feet wide. It is hoped that work can begin as soon as the successful bidder can assemble the necessary iron and steel and creosoted timber. Should

100.000 Pounds Beef Per Month For Korean Froni

OTTAWA. June is --(OP)- Canada, after weeks of negoti- ations, has finally obtained United States agreement to al- low surplus Canadian beef into Korea. The iiow will be about 100,000 pounds a month.

Defence Minister Claxton, returning from Washington talks, announced today that

Canadian meat will go to feed

j'Lat,erlit was learned the plan is to ship the beef from Van- couver into American quarter- master stores in the Far East. From there it will be distribu- ted possibly to Canadians or to ' forces of other countries re- quiring supplies.

Experts herc do not consider the Korean shipments as very substantial. But they said they will help ease the burden of disposing of meat surpluses which have steadily climbed as a result of ihe foot-and-mouth disease and the U.S. embargo on Canadian meat and cattle.

Japs. Recognize Chinese Nationalists

TOKYO. June 18 -,- (AP) Japan announced today she re- cognizes Chiang Kai-Shek's Na- tionaiists as the gbvernment for all China, thus slamming the door on speculation she might sign a separate pact with Red China.

The major policy decision, an- nounced by the Japanese Foreign Office, followed months of waver- lng. The treaty signed with the Chinese Nationalists April 28 had left an opening for relations with

Peiping.

Eija Wajima. chief of the For- eign 0ffice's Asia Bureau. explain- ed the change in policy before the lower house foreign affairs committee.

Exactly what caused the policy change was not apparent. It is known the United States strongly opposed a Red Treaty.

Economic pressures would have given the Japanese Government reason to sign with the Reds. The policy change thus seemed to go beyond what was either expected or required of Japan.

Mr. Pauli said he had taken up with the minister the stion of forcemsnt of the Jay Treaty of 1704. The treaty allows In- dlsns of the United States and Canada to cross the border with- out restriction and without duty on any goods they transported.

The treaty is under study.

The brotherhoodk requests stem- med mainly from resolutions en- dorsed at the annual meeting of 160 brotherhood delegates now go- on here.

The Indians also asked:

Men Cap-idred I By laps Among Those Eligible

OTTAWA, June 18-(CP)-The Canadian Government shortly will set up a 310,000,000 war claims fund to pay partial compensation to Canadians who suffered losses or damage by enemy action dur- ing the Second World War. The money will come out of German and Japanese assets held in Can- uda. Prime Minister St. Laurent said today in the Commons that the government will move speedily to establish the fund. He made ihe sintcmcnt after he tabled the 60,- 000-word report of Chief Justice J. L. Iisiey of the Nova Scotia Supreme Court recommending methods to deal with ihe claims.

Following an eight-month study. the former Canadian cabinet min- lster indicated that ihe amount

of money available will he too small to eat the claims running close to S1Q0.000,000 and there must be certain restrictions on

ihe claims and priorities dealing

with financial loss caused by death, maltreatment and pro- perly loss. .

He noted that if Canadians

.could get back all the property the Communist countries in Eur- ope confiscated It would run into hundreds of millions of dollars- cnough in pay off all known war claims "several times."

Canada, through the External Affairs Department, has been working to get compensation for this loss of property in East Ger- many and other East European countries. but ihe Communlsis have refused to pay.

Suggests 31 Per Day

The Chief Justice referred to the "death marches". tortures and burtaiiiics of the Japanese and recommended that all Canadians be compensaied at the rate of si a day for every day they were held captive in..J an vca

Denmark Joins Sweden In Orders To Resisi Reds

STOCKHOLM, Julie lli -(AP) -Denmark joined Sweden today in ordering her air force to do bat- tle if fired upon by Soviet planes.

Both countries, alarmed at a show of rapidly-increasing force in Northern Europe and the shooting down of a Swedish plane this week. thus served notice that they do not intend to bow to any long-range Soviet plan to make the Baltic a "Stalin Lake."

Sweden tonight rejected a Mos- cow protest that-a Swedish Cata- lina. flying boat, shot down Mon- day with seven men aboard. had invaded Soviet territory and start- ed the shooting.

The reply was considered at a special meeting of the Swedish cabinet in Stockholm today.

The usually cautious Swedish press has used such words as "An Outrageous Effrontery," "The Rus- sians' lie" and "A Record in mandacity" to describe the Sov- iet note.

To Probe Cost Of Hauling C03!

OTTAWA. June 13 --(Ci?)-The Board of Transport Commissioners has ordered an investigation into the railways costs of hauling Western coal into the East, it was' learned today. I

The study stems from a protest- ed 1061 freight-rate increase on this coal and another proposed in- crease which has been pending for some months.

The rates. on coal moving from Alberta and Southeast British Coi- umbis to Ontario, have been the subject of conosm by the railways and Iuvernments for years. At the request of-the Federal Govern- men, they were slashed about as is ion in mid-depression.

The average rate was boosted to 00.00 in the post-war series of gen- eral freight increases. and last year the railways announced they were putting them up by another 34.10 to wipe out the depression out. As a result of protests, the rail- ways put only half of that amount into effect. The other half was to take effect last April 1.

But the Alberta Government and coal operators portested this, and also asked the Transport Board to wipe out the 1061 increase of 32.36. The board did not formally order the proposed increase held up. but the railways have kept it in obey- snoc anyway.
