British War-Correspondent Talks.On Far East Problems

"It is I first class job if we can keep the world out of war until the end of the Century and then hand it over to the next generations as a good place in which to live". said Mr. William Courtenay, O.B.E.. M.M.. British War correspondent and world citizen. speaking at the final season's dinner of the Prince Edward Island branch of A ' t ion of Canadian Clubs last night. Dr. Frank Macltinnon presided.

Taking as his subject "Recent Developments in the Far East". Mr. Courtenay by the use of maps surveyed the long front from Cey- ion through Malaya, Singapore. Indonesia. China, Hong Kong. For- mosa to Japan and Korea.

In giving the British viewpoint he felt that Communist China should have a seat in the United Nations. The other countries of the world could than deal with China on s more equitable basis and at the same time, point out to the Chin cse' that u a member of the United Nations they had a certain oblig- ation to fulfill. In other words they would have to show their sincerity by action rather than by words.

that American policy in not allow- ing Communist China to take Form oss was commendable. At the same time he thought Chlang Hal Chek should withdraw from the smaller Islands off the Chinese mainland. noting it would prevent the Communist forces from obtain- ing a military as well as a pro- paganda victory at a later date.

"Trade is a great healing balm between nations", said Mr. Court- easy. "and it is the hope of the British that trade will begin flow- ing between China and the count- ries of the Western World." He said the attitude of the United States was understandable in not wanting Chins in the United Nat- ions because the Amcricans had suffered and lost most heavily in the Korean War.

Mr. Courtenay explained that we cannot understand fully recent dev elopment in the For Eaztnunlcsa we understood first what U oom- munists were after. All that the Commonwenth and America were trying to achieve was to "frustrate the knavish communist tricks" and protect the people of SE Asia and train them for Independence and freedom.

DRIVE THE WHITE MAN 0UT..

"What the communists want is to drive the white man out of Asia for good". said the speaker. "This is their goal. They desire to drive the British from Malaya and Slnga pore: turn the French out of Indo- China: terminate American influe- nce in the Philippines: grab Form- osa and use it as a base to be a nuisance across the Pacific: and they fought the war in Korea to use the airfields of S. Korea from which to bring the threat of Com- munism to Japan while she was weak down and out".

He warned they were out to grab those strategic materials like oil. rubber. tin. quinnlne of which we were bereft in World War II when the Japanese took these territories.

"They want to take over all the industries ports. harbours. etc.. built largely by British enterprise and British capital in the last I50

CHESTER. Pa. (AP)-Explob story talks between Nova Scotia officials and executives of the Scott Paper Co, about the possibility of construction by Scott of a large pulp mill in the province have reached a "stalemate". a com- pany spokesman said Friday.

The proposed plant would have cost an estimated l35.00.000.

Flooding in the town. which has no storm sewers, started Thurs- day when temperatures hit the 60- degree mark, the highest so far this year.

About 50 men worked heavy equipment to clear drainage ditches and reinforce the dike holding the big body of water.

More than 5.000 sandbags and 12,000 cubic yards of fill were used to reinforce the dike.

Officials appealed for more help to relieve tired workers who bat- tled the water day and night with- out sleep.

To succeed Gruenther - who asked to be relieved-Eisenhower chose Gen. Lnuris Norstad. a bril- liant strategist and the first air force officer ever picked for the top NATO military post.

Nomination of Norstad, 49. now air deputy to Gruenther was rati- fled promptly in Paris by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization council.

James C. liagerty. White House press secretary, said at Eisenhow- ers Augusta vacation headquart- ers the 57-year-old Gruenther-s close personal friend of the presi- dent-is retiring from the U.S. army and as commander-in-chief in Europe "because of personal reasons." fie did not elaborate. NO PERSONAL PLANS

In Paris. however, Gruenther told a press conference he had no - inns; nonrrnngeme-nt in mi d for other employment. He added there was "no ulterior mo- tivc' behind his resignation.

He became NATO commander in 1953. He said he is stepping out to make way for younger men and new ideas. Gruenther said he is not retiring for . asons of health.

Hagerty said Gruenther - like Norstad, a brilliant planner and strategist-will leave "toward the end of this year." The press secre- tary added that Norstad probably will take over at that time.

Earlier this month Gruenthcr touched off a storm of criticism in Holland and Germanv over a re- port that he had said his forces would have to give up Western Germany in the event of war.
