Slalemenl i Given By _ Prime lfnisler

UFAWA, Sept. 0 - (CM-Prime Minister St. Laurent today indic- ated to the Fisheries Council of Canada that there will be more iliiilerhmeht aid for the fishing in- dustry..

While he said he was not in a position to make specific com- mitments, the Prime Minister said he thought both Federal and Pro- vinclal governments could mska "profitable investments” in the industry to improve and enlarge its output.

Mr. St. Laurent. siddrwiing a. luncheon of the council, said he feels that up to now the central government perhaps has not done its full part in encouraging the industry.

Referring to a program of as- sistance outlined by Fisheries Minister Mayhew last May, the Prime Minister said that, though it might not be complete, it was an indication of the government's keen desire to have more done for the industry than in the past.

"The government does not want. to step into your field," he told the fish company representatives, "but. there probably are ways and means whereby both Federal and Provin- cial governments can contribute to the future development. of the in- dustry."

Mr. St. Laurent said it is a. re- sponsibility of the Canadian gov- ernment to help expand fish mar- kets, both abroad and at home.

He noted that Federal assistance in producing an improved cheese product had resulted in price in- creases that far outweighed the expenditure. They had proved a "national investment."

‘He added there could he “profit- able investments" in the fish in- dustry, by the industry itself and by Federal and Provincial Gov- ernments, to improve the product. "We are not in a position to make any specific commitments," he said. "but we are most. anxious to do our proper part in further- ing the interests of the industry.

By loiuslcsit

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9 --(AP) —81r Stafford Cripps warned to- day it may be necessary to reduce the living standards of "a lot. of people" during the next two years before Britain solves its financial crisis. -

‘The Chancellor of ths Exchequer made these remarks la reporting on the progress of the Anglo-Amer- lcanCansdian financial talks now in their third day.

1n his remarks on living stand- ards he apparently referred to Britain and possibly some western European countries. There was no indication he meant the United States.

Sir Stafford expressed hope that. any cut. ln living standards would be only temporary “while we are working out solutions which would be acceptable to tho people."

Speaking before more than 400 reporters at. a National Press Club luncheon. he again appealed for the United States to open up its markets to British productsso that Britain can earn enough dol- lars to meet its deficit.

All the steps by the Western world to join forces to resist Com- munism will be ln vain, he said- "if we fall ' to provide a sound economic basis for these combined efforts o! the free democracies."

Britain's Foreign Secretary Ern- est Bevin, echoed Sir Staffords words in a brief off-thecuff ad- dress before the overflow crowds. l-Ie described Britain's money troubles as a. world problem.

Immediately afterward, the two British calbinet officers went to the State Department for their fifth meeting with top Canadian and United States Government of- ficials. _

Sir Stafford‘! ccirrmient on living standards aroused immediate cpec-

Increase In Sales Only Solution, Says Cripps

ulation that the Labor Government might. shortly cut rations for the British people as a means of re- ducing expenses. He did not elab- orate on the statement.

The lean British treasury chief again ruled out the possibility of seeking a new American loan to solve Britain's dollar shortage. which he acknowledged is "getting worse."

"A great further effort is neces- sary by our people in the selling of their goods and services in the dollar markets," he said. "The only possible solution for us of this problem is that we should be a-ble to live on our earnings..."

Sir Stafford held out the pros- pect that Britain would have to slash its buying from the United States again unless a solution ls found and added: “That is a, re- suit we are most anxious to avoid for the sake of our peoples sland- ards of living "

In his remarks, Bevin predicted the United States, Britain and Canada would come up with "the answer" in o. short tlmexBut gave no information cf any possible three-power agreements in this field to back up his words.

As the conference went into its third day. Britain appeared as- sured c! limited help from the American Government to ease its financial plight. However. there was no sign any comprehensive program had yet been decided upon to solve the long range problem.

Britain's task. Sir Stafford said, is to establish a new “trade pat- tern" since the last nlrr: months

have shown that its pre-tvar way of doing business will no longer suffice. The east-west split, the

loss of German and Japanese mar- kets. and the "increasing needs of the great new free countries of southeastern Asia" have changed the trade picture, he said.

Social Work

Defects in the Prince Edward Island Adoptions Act which should be watched for in other Provinces with a view to pre- venting their. appearance there, were discussed yesterday at the Maritime Conference of Social Work, which concluded its two day sessions’ last evening at Dai- vuy with an address by Hon. H. L.‘ Pottle, Newfoundland Minister of Public. Welfare, who outlined the social service plans of Can- ada's Tenth Province.

During the dsy, the delegates discussed adoption procedures un- der the leadership of Sister St. John of the Cross, Catholic So- cial Welfara Bureau, Charlotte- town; responsibilities of agencies in interpreting social work, led by Mr. George Hart, Department of Health and Welfare, Nova Sco- tls; professional standards, Dr. C. L. Gass, Sackville, N.B., and the Maritime School of Social Work, by its assistant director, Miss Francis Montgomery.

Sister Saint John

"In no phase of social work is such a responsibility for other human beings placed on individuals as that which is the duty of those working in the field of adoption," statéd Sister Saint John of the Cross. "The dependent, the neg- lected, the orphan child gives rise to s far-reaching problem for the effects resulting from faulty or wrong vocational guidance or training may be very serious, not only to the individual child but to. society as a whole. Socially speaking, the healthful develop- ment of the dependent child is most essential to the develqi- merit of sound community life."

Unity of thought snd action in adoptions, she ssid. must be based on three fundamental considers- tions: 1. The rights of ths child to be adopted. 2." The rights of the natural parents or of the mother, if ths child is illegiti- mate. 8. The rights of the State, or of society. '

The child has, first, the right to ilfs itself, to food, clothing, and shelter, but he has also the right to wise, intelligent and ade- quats guidance by sn institution or by foster parents, by the school, and by the church.

The mother, in the case of the child born out of wedlock, has the right to keep her child. if she so desires and every sffort should be put forth to slist hsr to keep him. She hss also the right to release the child for adoption into sdsquats and wsll-bslanced homes. What is most important. shs hss s right to anonymity or protec-

1s considered. Only by protecting the unwed mother in this regard can a suc- cessful job of rehabilitating her for a normal life be done.

It is the duty of the State to make laws protecting the rights of the child, such as by requiring thorough fos er home investiga- tion, to assis ln provincial and local planning in the guidance and direction of unmarried mothers on the pro-natal period, and to as- slst in the rehabilitation period of these women. _

l

P.E.l. Adoptions Act

The speaker discussed the Prince Edward Island Adoptions Act, and pointed out certain de- fects that should also be watched for in other provinces with a view to preventing their appear- ance there. The absence of a

minimum probation period (or adoptive homes in the Act was also noted. The necessity of registering boarding homes for

children, and of minimum stan-

dards for adoption homes. whe- iher the latter be procured pri- vately or through an adoption agency, was stressed.

The speaker stated that there should be provision in adoption laws requiring the approval of s resognized social welfare agsaey before an adoption order is grant- ed. She stressed the need for psychological testing of prospee. tive adoptive children so that the child can be placed in a home in which his potential abilities and capacities approaches or equals that of the adoptive par- enis.

Sister St. John suggested the or- ganization of active Provincial Child Welfare Commissions with broad responsibility for study of conditions affecting children, ad- ministrative methods and child welfare legislation, with the members of these commissions being representative of child wel- fare interests throughout the provinces.

‘ Hon. Mr. Pottle pointed out that

‘satisfying social standards was more important in evaluating adoptive parents than financial

status. and that one should not be too rigid in demanding mini- mum financial standards. A dis- cussion period followed in which difficulties in relation to adop- tion procedures and Adoption Acts in the various Provinces were consider-d by the delegates.

Other Speakers

Mr. Hart emphasised that so- eisl work is s lob requiring team

PRIME MINISTER ATTLEE

This pensive expression caught on face of Prime Minister Attlee might have been caused by speech he made at Bridlington, Eng, be- fore the Trades Union Congress. where he denounced opponents of Britain's Labor government of try- int-Z to make "bad blood" between Britain and the United States, He further stated "there are people llere who are doing their utmost to foment hostility in the U. S. to the Labor government. They seek for party aims to play on the pre- jiidices of ill-informed sections of American opinion.

“Definitely No Possibility"

By George lRonald Canadian Press Staff Writer WASHINGTON. Sept. 9 —(CP)

-.A British informant said today there ls "definitely no possibility" that the United Kingdom will buy United States-rather than Canad- ian wheat-as a means toward solution of her financial problem.

Britain at the moment pays her own earned dollars for wheat un- der the Anglo-Canadian contract.

United States wheat-and there is plenty on hand-would be avail- alble through the Marshall Plan, with m drain on Britain's meagre dollar supply.

Ofle of the things Britain is rc- porled seeking at the Anglo-Can- adian-Americari dollar talks herein permission to spend Marshall Plan funds wherever she pleases.

This would enable her to use part of that money for Canadian wheat, as she did in thefirst stages of Marshall Plan operation.

(since last April, because wheat is in surplus in the United States, Marshall Plan authorities have al- lotted Britain no dollars for “out- side" wheat.)

Crew Abandoning Groundei Steamer

HALIFAX, Sept. 9 - (GP) — The 340-ton coastal steamer Bay- field is aground on Cape Pine. Nfid., and the crew is abandoning ship, marina radio reported here tonight.

The Hayfield ~ her port of reg- istry is Montreal - radioed this terse message tonight: "We are aground on Cape Pine, Newfound- land, and are abandoning ship."

Gale-force \vinds have lashed the Canadian Atlantic seaboard for two days and a Caribbean- brewed hurricane was ripping toward Newfoundland tonight af- ter brushing by Cape Sable 1s- land, 100 miles east of Halifax.
