Friday to pass its first legisla- tion of the new session—appro- priation of $82,392,000 for Prai- rie farm assistance, the winter works program and aid to New- foundiand fishe-men.

Leaping. the last verbal hurdle in debate on the three subjects, members gave first, second and third readings within minutes and sent the ‘appropriation. bill on to the Senate. ~

The Commons had interrupted the eight-day debate on the speech from the throne a week ago to handle the supplementary spending estimates.

The sum of $42,000,000. was ap- proved for acreage payments to Prairie grain growers—a max- imum: $200 a farm at $1 a culti- vated acre. The same formula prevailed in payments in .1958 anc 1960.

There was $300,000 allocated for federal-Newfoundland cost- sharing™ construction . programs to’ help Newfoundland fishing communities suffering the ef- fects of a poor cod catch ‘ st year on the inshore fisheries.

In his pronouncement, Pope ‘ohn expressed hope the coun- cit would invigorate the church, spread its benefits to men and aid in the cause for a true and just peace

Vatican sources saw in Pope John’s call a rallying cry to the world’s Christian forces to band together against the threai of communism.

Mr. Rusk said at a press con- ference that Premier Fidel Cas- tro is using dollars and other foreign exchange to promote subversion in neighboring coun- tries. Asked whether the U.S planned to ask Canada to halt trade with Cuba, he indicated _the matter would be taken up with Ottawa.

The U.S. which for some time now has embargoed all ex- ports to Cuba except food and drugs. recently was reported ready to slap an embargo on these, too.

On the general problem ef Cuba, Mr. Diefenbaker said Canada is “most desirous’ te co - operate with friendly na- tions, but ‘‘the decision as to the course Canada shall take should be made by Canada on the basis of policies which she believes are appropriate to Canada.”

Jt was the second time this week that a Canadian official replied to remarks by Amert can leaders on this country’s trade. with Cuba

Earlier, External Affairs Min- ister~Green termed ‘‘most im- proper’’ an assertion in Vancou- ver by presidential assistant Arthur Schlesinger~Jr., that Ca- nadian policy was hampering the process of democratic ~_re- form in Latin America.

On the question of Canadian dollars being used by Cuba te promote subversion in Latin America. Mr. Diefenbaker said:

Trade with Cuba in non- strategic goods runs heavily favor of Canada and therefo there can be no possibility of earnings by Cuba on her exe ports being used for this pure pose. On the contrary, Cuban trade with Canada is absorbing dollars secured from other sources.”

Canada had majntained an embargo on arms and strategie goods to Cuba for some time

Mr. Diefenbaker noted that is

the first nine months of this year exports to Cuba totalled $21,500,000 and imports from

Cuba $4,600,000. In the same pe- riod U.S. exports totalled $13,+ 300,000 and imports $26,800,000.

Total Embargo ° e Said Decided

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Prest: dent Kennedy was reported Fri- day night to have decided te slap a total embargo on U.S. imports from Cuba.

The United States has been buying about $35,000,000 worth of Cuban products a year, mostly tobaces.' State secretary Dean Rusk has said Premier Fidel Castro has been using the dollars to finance Communist revolutionary activities in other hemisphere countries

Informants said Kennedy's ac» tion would not end those U.S. sales to Cuba limited to food and medicine and which amount to some $15,000,000 a year.
