Designed lo q fest Communist China's Intentions

By NORMAN ALTBTEDTER

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., Jan. 36-- (CP) - Canada today proposed that a seven-country conference to work out a quick cease-fire in Korea be called within a week to test Ocmm-unist China's intentions.

L.B. Pearson. Canada's External Affairs Minister. stressed to the 60- member political committee of the United Nations that a cease-fire must precede negotiations for peace in Korea.

The Canadian proposalwas pre- sented in the form oi suggestions and not as a resol-utlctn. But the Arab-Asian countries were reported considering incorporating parts of Pearson's plan in their own Korean resolution before the committee.

Rejects Arab-'A'slan Plan

The Domlnion's delegate reject- ed the Arab-Asian resolution on the grounds it omits the principle that a. cease-fire must precede general negotiations.

He announced Canada will vote for the U. 8. resolution which calls for condemnatloii of Communist China as an aggressor and for study of possible sanctions against Peip- ing.

But Pearson added that the Can- adian delegation believes it is "pre- mature and unwise" to present the U. S. resolution when the possibil- ities of negotiations with Com- munist chlna are not completely exhausted.

Canada would vote for the 11.8. resolution. howeve . because its main purpose "is to i the Chinese Peoplels Government for the assistance they have given the aggressors in Korea."

Pearson said the U. N. should give Potping (8 hours to say whe- ther it will take part in the seven- country session.

Yanks withhold Judgment

American circles withheld judg- ment on Pearson's suggestions, made in a six-point compromise plan. But the Americans were firm in insisting that nothing should be allowed to hold up it decision by the political committee on the U. 8. resolution.

The political committee met for three hours for the seventh day of debate on the us. resolution and adjourned until tomorrow morning. No vote is expected until next week at the earliest.

wouIEi7iEF Korea if ii. N. Suppori lacking

CHICAGO. Jan. 26 - (AP) senator Robert Taft (Rep.-Ohio! told a press conference today he favors pulling American forces cut of Korea if this country cant get backing frcm other members of the United Nations.

"If they're not going to back as up. I would favor withdrawing from Korea. We're there as a result of U. N. action. and if the U.N. doesn't back us up, I think we should pull out."

Taft said he is opposed to de- claring war on Communist China but favors turning Chisng Kai-shek loose to carry the fight to the Chinese mainland.

"if we withdraw. we should take all limitations off Chiang. Kai-Shek and let him blcckade the coast. try to prevent the communists from moving into Indo-China and Bur-

ma. and do anything he can."

A special public meeting is being held next week by the Charlotte- ,town Command of the Canadian Legion with "Operation Prepared- ness" as the subject for the even-

The Dominion Command of the Legion has recently issued orders to all Commands throughout the Do- minion stressing the great need of Canada. for immediate military prz-- paration.

The correspondence from head- quarters to the local Command states that national registration. mobilization of industrial resources for defence production. and compul- sory training in the reserve forces are absolutely necessary if Canada is to be prepared to meet the pres- ent threat of aggression.

Delegates of the various com- mands of the Canadian Legion ex- nressed the view they were alarmed by the present. state of unprepared- ness existing in Canada when they met at a convention in Winnipeg last September. This opinion was ecmmunicated to the Prime Minis- ter. and when the National Exem- tive of the Legion met in gttawn in November a brief was presented to the Prime Minister and membe 3 of his Cabinet pointing out the need

officials of the Canadian Legion state that action taken by the Gov- ernmcnt has been insufficient to place this country in a state of ad- equate preparedness. and public meetings are being held through- out Canada during the week of January 29 to February 4 to dem- onstrate the fuil force of Pliblic op- inion to the govemment.

Figures produced by the Canad- ian Legion show Canada has one sbcth of the required number of men on military strength. It is stat- ed Canada should have 265.000 men in the regular forces and 333.000 trained reserves. instead of which her total is slightly over 100.000.

Keynote of the public meetings wi.li be the words of General Crernr when he addressed the 13th Domin- ion Convcntion: "Inevitably. large- scale. military preparation by Can- ada will interfere greatly with our normal activities and will consume a high proportion of our nationai income. Costs will go up. Taxes will go up. The availability of things we would like to have will go down. But. to a nation. a temporary high cost of living is as nothing compar- ed to the permanent high cost of dying.”

New Cut Announced In U.K. Meat Ration

LONDON, Jan. 26 -(Reuters)- Food Minister Maurice Webb. once know i as "the housewife's champion."Ytoday brought diatnny to Britain's. kitchens by announ- cing a further out in the already- mlnuic meat ration. ,

From Feb. 4 each individual will be entitled to only eight pence (about 10 cents) worth of fresh meat a week plus two pence Worth of canned beef, he told the House of Commons. Eight pence buys one tiny chop or its equivalent.

It was the second cut within a month. At the beginning of the year the ration was sliccd from is ad. to a shilling. made up of 10 pence fresh meat and two pence

cut in December.

The reductions are the result of Britain's refusal to pay meat prices demanded by Argentina. which normally supplies between 300,000 and 400,000 tons a year.

Shortly after Webb's announce- ment today a country-wide howl arose from butchers and house- wives.

Mrs. Joyce Mew. chairman of

the British 1-iouscwives' League. a private organization opposing the Labor Government's domestic poi- lcies. said: I "Angry women have been phon- ing since the news was announ- lced. The telephone ought to be red hot." .

Harold Daniels, president of the London Retail Meat Traders As- sociation. described it as 'a pretty tragic situation."

.As the meat ration has gone down, prices of non-rationed food have gone up. since Jan. 1 rabbit prices have increased so that a hiniiblo bunny now costs any- where up to eight shillings. Roasting chickens sell at about six shillings a pound-too high for the average British purse.

Fish prices have mounted des- pite a warning by Webb that he may rt-impose controls lifted last year.

Outlines Food Controls

Disaiie said most foods are ex- empt from the price ceilings be- cause they are selling below parity (a sliding scale designed to keep farm prices at a fixed relationship to the farmers costs).

But he said certain foods. in- cluding beef, veal and lamb, are above parity and therefore are frozen under the order.

Poultry prices are not frozen. Disalie said, and E.S.A. has not yet decided whether pork is sub- ject to control.

Of the total number of 1.344 fatalities in industry in Canada for 1949. Prince Edward Island suffered only a s gle fatality. in- dustrial fatalities in Newfounrl- land totalled 14: Nova Scotia 55; New Brunswick 36; Quebec 268; Ontario 505; Manitoba 55: Sask- atchewan 51; Alberta 123; and British Columbia 227.

The island Province. judging from excerpts from the Labor De- partment's report. has less coit- ;laCf, with the Department than 'any of the other Provinces. For instance. P.l-3.1. alone was not represented at the annual meet- ing of the Canadian Association of Administrators of Labor Legisla- tion. mentioned in the report.

Prince Edward Island and Saskatchewan were the only two

Provinces in which no veterans were approved for vocational training under the department's

training branch. The report also noted that Prince Edward island. with Newfoundland and Quebec remained aloof from the Labor Department's pre-employment a-p- prentice training scheme.

Increased participation in coun- fry-wide labor activities is looked for from Prnce Edward Island due to the appointment of a Maritimer. Hon. M. F. Gregg. as Minister of Labor. succeeding the late Humphrey Mitchell.
