In accordance with arrangements made with Premier J. Walter Jones to further stimulate P. E. l’. —Newfoundland trade for the benefit of Prince Edward Island farmers, fishermen and business men, negotiations are well under way for restoration of the former trade between the port of Alberton, in West Prince County, and New- foundland, it was learned last evening.

Mr. W.E. Agnew, PE I. trade commissioner for Newfoundland, visited West Prince this week for the purpose of re-inaugurating this service at the earliest date. He arrived at. 0'I.eary on Wednes- day and discussed various phases of the situation with Mr. Peter W. Pate. president of the West Prince Board of Trade, and other prominent members of the Bgard.

Early yesterday morning Mr. Pate and Mr. Agnew visited Al- berton (the former home of Mr. Agnew) when tile matter was dis- cussed at great length with the business men of the community, particularly the condition of the Alberton harbour and wharf, where a previous survey had been made by the Board of Trade to ascert- ain the feasibility of loading and unloading produce and other com- modities for Newfoundland.

Mr. Agnew was very favorably impressed with the condition in which everything was found.

Business men, farmers and fish- ermen were interviewed through- out the locality from O'Leary to Tlgnish, including such places as St. Louis, Tyne Valley, El-msdale, Bloomfield and communities.

__Mr. Agnew was enthusiastic with regardfi the posilbilllléls of this much needed service, and it is understood that it is in full accord with Prrtrnler Jones’ idea of ex- pandlirg the trade relations be- tween the two Island Provinces.

Mr. J. Watson MacNaught, Parliamentary assistant to the Minister of Fisheries and Member of Parliament for Prince County, also assured Mr. Pate that he is taking 111p matter in ‘hand and will see that nothing is left undone to serve this part of the Province.

It would appear from the pro- gress already made that the new service will be put into operation at an early date. It is expected that work will mence for adequate repairs t the Alberton wharf and necessary dredging‘ of the harbour within the next two weeks,

Engineers are expected to com- plnie the survey within a few days

It is not known whether the M. V. Eskimo will be used on the route, but in any case a suitable vessel will be put in operation as soon as possible.

ANNAPOLIS ROYAL. N. S.. July 14—-(CP)—Electlon of Liberal A. A. Elder-kin to represent Annapolis- Kings in tho Federal House was confirmed today following a judicial recount of the votes cast.

Ferry Service At Borden Cited in Boardtrief

HALIFAX, July 14—(CP)-—Mess- ures to encourage export and im- port traffic through Canadian ocean ports woro urged upon tho Royal Commission on Transport- ation today by the Maritime Board of Trade.

The Board proposed:

1. That freight rates on export and import traffic to Maritime harbors be adjusted to restore pre-war rate relationships be- tween these and other Canadian ports. The Board said these ro- lationships had been destroyed by rote increases since 1938.

2. That a foreign freight traffic officer be appointed from tho Maritime section of the Canadian National Railways, to obtain traf- fic for Maritime ports. His head- quarters would be at Moncton, N. B.

t

In a brief read by Rand H. Matheson of Moncton, manager of the Board's Transportation Com- mission, the trade body also re- commended that:

1. Canada and tho United States set up an effective agency for handling problems of internation- al rates on freight traffic moving through the two countries. At present, these rates are largely governed by the Interstate Com- merce Commission of the U. S.

2. More favorable freight rates should be granted for Prince Ed- ward Island, which now has "in-

Catholic (Church A Throws Weight Against Reds

(By J. M. Roberto, Jn, Associated Press News Analyst)

The Roman Catholic Church has thrown n momentous and his rlcal force into the war against Com- munism.

Never before has the Church's ancient weapon of excommunlcatlon been used on such a broad scale as now, when it is directed at all Ro- man Catholic subscribers to the Red cause.

Long ago the Communists declar- ed war on the Church. The Church has constantly fought back but in more or less individual defensive actions. Now it has in turn declar- ed war:

The excommunlcation order has little effect on the formal Commun- ists. They already disavow the Church. But for millions of Roman Catholics who have voted the Bol- shcvlk ticket in France, Italy. Czechoslovakia, Poland and else- where, there ls the hour of choice between their Church and their po- litics.

Tivo great international forces. both of which hold themselves nhove the states within which they operate, are involved.

Four million people in France and a similnr number in Italy, a vast proportion of them Catholic, have voted tho Communist tlokot although they are not. party morn- bers. They have been called eco- nomic Communists. How many of

By ALAN HARVEY LONDON, July l4 (CP) _. Britain today twisted her aus-

announcement that dollar imports — including newsprint, timber, to- bacco and non-ferrous metals -— will be cut by ‘one-quarter this year.

Sir Stafford Crlpps said existing trade contracts will be honored but it appears obvious that Canada will be sharply affected by the dol- lsr-buylng cuts as they affect new buying.

The Chancellor of the Excheq- uer announced the decislo l in the Commons amid deepening anxiety over Britain's financial and indus- trial crisis, '

He termed the fi-per-cent re- sity" but lightened the gloomy tone of his speech by reiterating his belief that the solution to econ- omic difficulties ultimately will be found on a. world basis. ‘

(In Oil-Ewe. a Canadian official estimated the crisis cuts will mean a loss to Canada of between $00,- 909-000 8nd $30,000,000 in trade this year.) _

The commodities specifically mentioned for pruning are import. ant to Canadian trade. During the five months ended May, 1940, the Dominion was Britain's chief sup- pller of timber, newsprint and non-ferrous metals.

Canada ranked ahead of, the Un- ited States and second only to Turkey as tobacco supplier to the United Kingdom during tho give. month period,

Civil Defence Plan Is Placed Before Cabinet

duotion a "thoroughly evil neces- '

OITAWA. July 14 —(CP) -A comprehensive plan for tho civil defence of Canada has been placed before the Cabinet as the result of a. tour that found most of demo- cratlc civilization taking active “We t0 Prepare cities and people for tho worst.

Maj. Gen. FF. Worthington, co-oidinator of civil defence, is the man who prepared it and the man who made the tour that took him through Canada and into some of the farthest corners of the democratic world.

Every country he visited cori- tri-buted something to the plan because every country he visited- the United States, Britain, France, Belgium, Holland, Denmark, Nor- way, Sweden-is going ahead with preparations to cope with atomic attacks, mass sir raids and their vicious kin of the mid-20th cent-

ury.

The best source of all was a country that kept out of both wars. Sweden, Gen. Worthington said is ahead of every other nat- ion in the efficiency and scope-of her plans.

Scandinavia generally is ahead in civil defence and its plans are worthy of Canadian study because its poople, climate and environ- ment have strong Canadian paral- lels, the General said.

In Britain. there are three vil- lages of prefabricated ruins to train volunteers, a step that is re- peated in other countries. The Americans, after preparing a comprehensive paper plan, are re- vising it.

Canada's preparations arc bliSCtl on a go-slow policy that aims primarily at learning other peoples mistakes and avoiding them, but Gen. Worthington isn't. discussing details of his plan pending cabin- et approval.

However, certain factors appear obvious. He says he was “shaken to the core" when he visited thc Canadian Provinces and fountl the lack of standardization among fire fighting equipment The firemen and departments are ex- cellent, he says, but their varying equipment, "is the Achilles heel of our civil defence.“

Gov't MmoTes To Start Coal Moving Again

By Anthony Whit-lock - Canadian Press Correspondent

SYDNEY, Australia, July 15 -- (Friday) — (CPl-Jiegular army troops today moved into the strikebound coal-fields area of New South Wales to work open- cut mines.

It was the second Government move taken within 24 hours in an effort to ease the critical coal shortage caused by the country- wide strike which began June 27.

Thursday _400 picked police were dispatched to New South Wales mining centres to protect railway- men. shifting about 40,000 tons of coal which has been lying above ground since floods nearly a month ago cut rail lines.

The troops were ordered into the coal-fields following a. secret conference this week between leaders of the Federal and State Governments.

The first troops to move drove a convoy of 15 bulldozers and scoops to the recently-opened open-cut mine at Minmi, s. point not easily reached from the main mining area. It presumably was chosen to minimize the possibility of interference by striking min- ers.

In Melbourne, Adelaide and Brisbane other army convoys, each consisting of about 100 trucks,

ST. JOHN'S, Nfld, July 14 —- (CP)—-The Newfoundland Legis- lature started building from the ground up in the second day of its first provincial session today

One bill was passed, providing legislation for a 12-man cabinet and making provision that other portfolios can be added.

The legislature is the 29th gen- eral assembly for Newfoundland. which lost responsible government in the depression days of 1034. The first job for the legislators is to get in order a cabinet for the Is- lands administration.

Today's bill was an amendment t0 the old Legislative Disabilities Act, which did not provide for such portfolios as Health, Welfare and Natural Resources. Although ministers already have been ap- pointed to these posts, their, seats were empty during the two sittings sinco tho Assembly opened yester- day.

The bill changed the law to al- low paylment. of special remuner- ation to tho Opposition leader-An line with the practice in other Provinces. Present Opposition loader is John G. Higgins, Pro- gressive Conservative member for 5t. John's East. It also removed o clause from the old act which prevented a member from taking ministerial office without going to tho people in ‘o try-election.

Premier Joseph Smsilwood in- troduced six bills, relating to the formation of Departments of Fisheries and Ctr-Operatives, Econ- oenic Development, Welfare and Health. They also would provide for increases in old ago and blind

pensions,

Acts to creato departments of Attorney-General and Provincial Affairs were among fivs introduced by Justice Minister Leslie R. Curtis. They would replace the present departments of Justice

and Home Affairs.

position as of confederation March 91 be submitted to the legislature,

He said it was not in the public interest to announce at present the purpose of his recent conferences with the three other Maritime Premiers. The Independent mem- ber had asked whether the trip had been to discuss Maritime union and, if so, had the other Provinces contributed to the cost.

Mr Sniallwood said the trip had cost Newfoundland only a. few doi- lsrs over his plane fare because the other Premiers "entertained me in the best hotels-and the best stiitcs in the best hotels."

AX, July 14 — (C?) --

(lo-ordination of all transport ser- vices through o. national trans- portation agency was recommend.- od to the royal commission on transportation today by the lvfari- time Board of Tirade. The Board also proposed meas- ures to promote export and im- port traffic through Maritime ports — including lower freight rates — and suggested a sweeping series of revisions in railway prgg. tices to encourage Maritime en- terprise and generally improve rail services.

Its proposals were made in a. brief read to the commission by Rand H. Matheson of Moncton, N-B. manager of the Board's transportation commission. as the commission concluded Halifax sit- tings in its investigation into Canadian transportation problems.

From here, the three-man body under Hon. WRA. Turgoon, high commissioner to Ireland, goes to Fredericton and then to Charlotte- town.

The Maritime Board's proposal for a national transportation ag- ency was based on its contention that the various forms of trans- port must be co-ordinated for maximum efficiency and that new transportation methods must be introduced from time to time in the interest of the Canadian econ- omy.
