Moscow Optimistic Improved Relations With We_s_t_ Coming‘

MOSCOW. April 2'1 -(A.P) —-A feeling that Russia mg twee Western-Powers may be on their way touord a new stage in post- war mutual relations prevailed to- day in Moscow.

No one was going so far as to predict settlements, beyond lifting oi the Berlin restrictions. But in-

formed diplctrnats agreed this could be the stepping atone to great. events.

Handled correctly and with in- finite care by all aides, some sources said. this new state of affairs could lead to an ending of the cold war.

"Something la cooking," said an American source. “At this point it doesn't smell bad."

An informant at. the British cm- bassy observed:

"We're knocking on wood."

All Western quarters stressed the situation was delicate, and agreed that new steps should be slow and cautious-backed up by a great deal of thought.

The Russians themselves seemed ‘to be proceeding with caution. Neither of the leading newspapers. Pravda and Izvestia. made gny cccnment on the new attitude t0- ward the Berlin communications situation. They printed no news of it. either. 0

Eugenluaz Jan Mllnikfel. the Polish Minister, told an hour- long press conference, that in no case would Poland consider fighting out before a Canadian court the question of owner- ship of the treasures. part of which was in the hands of the Quebec Government and part still unlocatcd.

Neither would his government consider "monetary compensat. ion" from the Canadian Fed- eral Government if the treas- ures were not returned. The treasures. brought to Canada for safekeeping in 1940. were "priceless." There ‘ was no amount of money that could replace thorn.

Election

Is Called For June 9 .

HALIFAX. April .27 -- (CPI ~- A Nova Scotia general election for Thursday. June l1. was an- nounced today by Premier Angus L. Macdonald. Nomination day is May 26.

The annour cement same shortly after Lieutenant-Governor J. A. D. McCurdy dissolved the 43rd Legis- lature.

Liberals under Premier Mactton- aid captured 28 of the 30 seats in the i945 election while the C. C. F. took the remaining two to form the Opposition. Four Liberal seats were vacant at dissolution to- day.

Seven seats will be added to the next house under a partial redis- tribution act paned at. the i948 session of the legsliature. All of the new seats are in rural areas.

Mr. Mocdonald said the elect- ion was set for June i! because the government did not want it to conflict with the Federal con- test, expected to be held June 2'1.

He was also against having a summer election because many of the voters would be away from their homes on holidays. An early June election had been discussed by government members during the 1M0 session of the legislature and all were in agreement. The house prorogued just before Easter.

Both tho Liberal and Progressive Conservative parties will probably contest all ridlnga. The C.C.l". will likely contest a majority of the seats.

Liberal vacancies at dissolution today were caused by appointment of J. l-I. MacQuarric. former at- torney-generoi. to the provincial Supreme Court bench: elevation of J, Willie Comeau to the Senate; ldeath of Dr. Frank R. Davis. form- er health minister; and resignat- ion oi John M. Campbell, member for Victoria since i937.

Liberals, who have been in power in Nova. Scntla since the general election of 1933. will again be led to the polls by Premier Macdonald. At a nominating convention in Xentville Monday he sold he would lead the party as long as It want- ed him.
