There was expectation that the choice would settle upon an Eng- lish-spcsking and Protestant can- dldste. observing the party's cun tom of alternating between that and one who is French-speaking and Roman Catholic. as is Mr. St. Laurent.

Tax Conference

OTTAWA (C?)-Prime Minia- ter Diefenbaker said Sunday night he will issue invitations shortly to the provinces to attend a federal-provincial conference to review fiscal arrangements.

The prime minister said the provinces will be asked to indi- cats their wishes on a date for the meeting. He indicated he is looking for the conference to be held before the end of this year.

He said. without elaborating, that that time would be "possibly only for the beginning of the con- ference." Thlslndlcatsd the meeting likely would be ad- journed until next year for com- pletlon.

Mr. Dlefenbaker spoke to re- ptvters at nearby Uplands Air- port on his return from a four- day. limo-mils speaking tour that took him as far west as Banff, Alta.. and as far east as Han- over. N. H. His last speech was at Quebec City Sunday.

Dieienbaker Tells Yanks Differences Need Solving

PM Makes First Appearance In U.S. Since June Election

HANOVER. N.H. (CF-Prime Minister Diefenbaker has bluntly informed Americans there are disagreement: between Canada and the United States that need solving.

in his first public appearance in the US. since winning the June 10 election, he referred Saturday night specifically to the inroads on Canada's wheat markets be ing made by the US. wheat sur- plus disposal program and the fact many Americanowned com- paniea in Canada don't sell shares to Canadians.

There was "a need of action be- ing taken" in connection with the wheat disposal program particu- larly, he told an estimated 2,500 persons at the .' ' , session of a three-day convocation devoted to discussing great issucp affect- ing the Anglo-Canadian-American community and sponsored by Dartmouth College.

Canada is losing its wheat mar- kets because of what has been

expedient" in the U.S.

When Dlefen b s k e r finished. John Sloan Dickey. president of the college-one of the oldest and most respected in the U.S.-said that the new Canadian prime minister had given "perhaps the siralghtest statement ever made in friendship and peacetime by a chief of government to another friendly natlon."

ADVANCE UNDERSTANDING Dickey predicted that metal- baker's statement will set an ex- ample of frank discussion be- tween friends that will do more to a d v a n c a understanding in the Anglo - Canadian - American community "than anything that has been done in a long time." The prime minister. who flew here Saturday afternoon. ap- peared weary from a week of hectic traval. He lett immediately afssr,'&npasch is Hy toOIsbse

He had covered an estimated 6,000 miles during the last week, coming hers after a brief stop- over in Ottawa fouowing a flying visit to Calgary and buff Thurs-

day.

Dlefenbaksr was among several persons awarded an honorary doctorate of laws by the college.

His speech to an audience that Included Sherman Adams. assis- tant to President EL t . was the first in the U.S. by a Canadian prime minister in more than three years.

Emphasizing that Canada's new Progressive Conservative govern- meat is non anti-American. Diet- snbaker agreed with a recent statement made by the former Canadian external affairs minis- ter. Lester Pearson. that the era of easy and automatic good rela- tions between Canada and the U.S. is over.

NOT BAD RELATIONS

But that "does not mean that an era of difficult or bad rela- tions is beginning." the prime minister said.

"it means that each of us now must look at our problems with common sense. frankness. abso- lute confidence and mutual trust."

Diefenbaker said Canada last year bought 8l.1N.000.fl)o worth of U.S. goods more than it sold to its southern neighbor. "This year it will amount to more."

Cityftn'aaappsarancetbasalan- Thstldsflnwslimllescpthetlly it

This concentration of Canada'g trade in one channel "contains in- herent dangers for Canada in that it makes the Canadian economy altogether too vulnerable to sud- den changes in trading policy at Washington."

"Canadians do not wish to have their economic. any more than their political affairs determined outside Canada."

'A pressing concern in Canada is the need of action being taken in connection with the United States agricultural disposal pro- gram." particularly in getting rid of its wheat. Canada could com- pete for a fair share of world markets providing other nations followed recognized competitive practices.

CAN NOT CODDETE

But the U.S. surplus disposal program had made it difficult if not impossible for Canada to maintain its fair share of the world market. Canada could not compeie against so rich a coun- try as the U.S. "With Its export subsidies. barter. deals and sales for foreign currency."

He said he hopes that the Wash- ington meeting in October of the joint U.S.-Canada cabinet corn- mlttes on trade and economic questions will find some solution to this problem.

Turning to investment. the prime minister said Canada wal- oomcs investment and its govern- ment will contlnus to do all it can to make Canada attractive to for- elgn investors.

But, he added. "there is an in- tangible sense of disquiet in Can- ada over the " lmplicstism of large-scale and continuing ex- ternal ownership and control of Canadian industries."

Could a country mainthin an in- dependeat existence when not

make important decisions affect- ing oparstion and development at the country's economy?

All that Canadians asked was that they be denied a chance to Invest American - owned companies in Canada. These cons- panies should be incorporated at Canadian companies and should not regard Canada as an exten- sion of the American market.
