a'sI:-Wesl: Pledge MEIe

Unify Viet Nam Ir; Two Y:-II;

By STANLEY PRIDDLE

GENEVA (Reuters) -The shooting war between communism and the west ended in Indo-China Wednesday with a solemn East-West pledge that the partitioned halves of Viet Nam will be rejoined by elections in two years.

The pledge came in 53-point final declaration at the wind-up session of the nine-nation conference which suc-

Defence Budget Fuiure Problem '. for Government

OTTAWA (CP)-An approaching problem for the government may be maintenance of public support for heavy defence expenditures. Of- ficials said Wednesday they fore- see difficuities in this field in the next year or two if the world situa- tion doesn't get any worse.

Canada's defence planners are thus caught in something of a paradox. They naturally want to see the world situation improve. but as -or if-it does, they feel they will have a harder time to obtain the large amounts of money they. believe will still be necessary for defence.

Officials said that despite armistice in indo-China. the truce a year earlier in Korea and an apparently r e d u c e d Communist threat in Europe, the need for

the '

heavy defence appropriations is going to continue for a long time. NOT GENERAL VIEW

crnmcnt has spent 55.000.000.000 for defence and in the current fiscal year plans to spend more than 2,000,000,000. The total budget this year is 34.500,000,000.

Redshibiliani Over Armistice For Indo-China

GENEVA (CP) - The Geneva conference endorsed the Indo- china armistice Wednesday, with partitioned Vlet Nam and the United States abstaining.

Red China hailed the agreement as a,possiblc pattern for a Korey. settlement. :

any violation of the Indo-China cease-fire would jeopardize inter- national peace and security.

Viet Nam's pro-western govern-' meni. protested against even tem- porary partition of the country Wednesday.

Unlike the purely military agree- ment for Korea's present division, the Indo-China settlement specific- ally states that the demarcation along the 17th parallel ”is a pro- visional line which cannot in any way be interpreted as constituting a political or territorial boundary." The declaration says the confer- ence "expresses the conviction" that Vict Nam, instead of being permanently divided into Commu- nist and non-Communist spheres. will be r e u n i t e d by elections throughout the country.

Denies Charges I T Of Cornwall Area Farmers

TORONTO, (OP)-Robert Saund- ers, Ontario Hydro chairman Wed- rieaday denied accusations by Corn- wall district farmers that the hydro commission is buying more land than it neetis for the St. Lawrence seawiiy and power project with the idea of reselling it later at a pro- fit.

Reports from Mille Roches quoted some of the farmers in that area as saying they have been of- fered ”ridiculously low” prices for their land. A few were quoted as saying the offers are satisfactory. ”We are not in the real estate business and do not contemplate any profit from land. nor have we, as a provincial commission. any right to seek a profit." Mr. Saund- ers said in a eta t.

"If we do have surplus land, the policy is to sell it to the high”! bidder if the bid is e fair price. We stand to lose profit, depend- ing on the level of land values at that time"

Mr. Saunders said "a few" ferm- ere claim they am being cum-pd to low a price for their land. but "I know of many who consider we are making fair offers.” ,
