U. 5. Keeping Out: Of Indo Clsina

By JOHN M. I-TIGHTOWER

WASHINGTON. (AP)—Prcsident Eisenhower said Thursday that the French certainly could use some outside military aid to strengthen theifiposition in the critical battle for anal in Indo-China. But he offered them no prospect of help from the United States.

His remarks at s pres; confer. encc, taken in conjunction with states Secretary Dulles’ speech Thursday at Seattle, supported a growing impression here that the administration has no plan for in- tervening in the Indo-China. war in the predictable future.

Thus what happens there will be strictly up to the French and Viet

The new Minister comes to the Council with a long background of legislative experience as he has several times represented his Dis- trict oi llth Prince. He was first elected in 1935 and was returned to the House in 1939. He lost the election of 1043. but came back to win again in 1951. At the opening of the 1952 Session of the Legis- lniure he moved the Address in re- ply to the Speech from the Throne.

Hon. Mr. Foley is in well known pharmacist in summer-side where he operates his own highly success- ful business. He was educated at Alberton High School and Prince of Wales College before entering

Whether these forces can hold the Hanoi area, infiltrated as it is reported to be with Commu- nist guerrlllas and sympathizers and weakened by defections to the Red side, remains to be demon- strated.

Reporters sought at the presi- dent's press conference Thursday to obtain clues as to his line of thinking.

Asked whether the French could use military help in the defence of Hanoi. he said he would answer the questions as a military issue and that he didn't want to be mis- understood as implying any decis- ions. In other words, it appeared that when he said the French could use help he was not suggest- ing that they were going to get it

EDEN WARNS FAILURE JUST AROUND CORNER AT INDO-CHINA PEACE TALKS ._

By LYNN HEINZERLING

GENEVA (AP)-British Foreign Secretary Eden told the nine-party Inda - China conference Thursday that failure lies just around the corner unless “wide and deep" dif- ferences between East and West are composed.

The British statesman a tire- less champion of compromise in the peace efforts. indicated that seven weeks of negotiations were headed for an early breakdown un- less the Communists soften their position on several vital issues.

Thursday's meeting ended with

is suggestion by Eden that he and Soviet Foreign Minister Molotov meet to discuss the best way of proceeding. Eden said the conference is dead- locked on three important issuea—— the membership of the neutral sup- ervisory commission. its functions, and the status of Laos and Cam- bodia in any settlement.

N0 VETO POWER

Eden said that in the work of the supervisory commission. “there can be no power of veto." The Russians have suggested a four- power commission composed of Po- lrind. Czechoslovakia. India and Pakistan. Eden said a four-power "could only lead to deadlock.”

He repeated his proposal that five Asian powers——lndia-Pakistan. Ceylon. Burma, and Indonesla—be chosen for the commission.

The commission. Eden said must have authority over any miised French-Vietminh commissions of the two lndo-China commands op- erating in Viet Nam.

The third of the "main issues" mentioned by Eden was the future of Laos and Cambodia. The Com- muniais have lumped these two associated states with Viet Nam in their plans for the future of Indn-China. although ’both states in- sist they are the victims of invas- ion by Vietminh.

and Cambodia. Eden said. is no more justified than “Hitler's invas- ion of Czechoslovakia."

Molotov, who spoke after Eden. made only an oblique reference to thc Briton's strong statement.

"The task of the Geneva confer- ence." Molotov said. “will be ful- filled if it blocks the attempts at extending the war in Indo-China. . . This task will be fulfilled if the efforts of the Geneva conference are directed at the earliest cessa- tion of hostilities and at the ach- ievement of an agreement on the fundamental conditions of the re-

establishment of peace in Indo- China. Beyond this. Molotov confined

himself to restarting the Commu- nist posltion on the issues raised by Eden.

PORT DOVER. Ont, (CP) —A 820,000,000 summer-city on the shores of Lake la-ie, near Port Dover, will be built within six years, Donald C_ Ivey, president of Lake Erie Resort Development Company. said Thursday.

Ivey said work had already started on the first part. of the de- celopment, more than 150 cottages selling at about $3,000 each. They will be completed in seven months, he said.

New Aircraft Engine Des-cribed

ATLANTIC CITY. N. .l., (AP)- A new British aircraft engine—a diesel compounded with a turbine —was described today to the So- ciety of Automotive Engineers as offering high power production and low consumption of cheap fuels.

Details of the power plant. call- ed the Napier Nomad. were pre- sented by Herman Sammona and Ernest Chatierton. of D. Napier rind Son. Ltd. They said it was delsgned especially for use in Can. adisn air freighters and in milit- ary supply and reconnaissance planes_ Major objective was long- range. low-cost operation.

The power plant, consisting of a diesel engine, three-stage turbine and A compressor_ produces 3.970 horsepower at take-off. The engine alone develops 2.600 horsepower at

In a speech before Rotary In- ternational at Seattle Dulles dealt with the Indo-China problem. He made two principal points.

He does not agree with the ar- gument——advanced by Britain and

ancc——that the United Nations

" uid keep hands on Indo—Ch1na while peace negotiations are under way at G€flEV8.' He indicated the United States would like to see a peace observation commission sent to the area promptly.

In the second place Dulles de- nounced colonialism in Asia. re- newed his demand that the Indo- Chinese states of Viet Nam. Laos and Cambodia be assured of com- plete independence.

Duke of Edinburgh Was 33 Yesterday

At the Queen’: birthday parade. he rode several prices hehinrl her. The guns which boomed out lllf‘ l'f‘-_\‘Rl salute would have been especially for him any other year. but Thursday he had to share them with the Queen.

The front pages of the news- papers were e_\'e-catclilng with half-page pictures of the Queen

and small ones of the duke. Head- lznea invariably called it "The Queen‘: Day."

Only the BBC remenihorerl to cxtend "our loyal greetings" in the duke as well as the Quceii lit the beginning of the morning's newscasts. g

OTTAWA, {CPL Trade Minister Howe expressed a qualified view Thursday that Canada will have no trade war with the United States.

But he said it would be extrem-

"During the forthcom'... year. major decisions hang in the bal- ance." ha said during a trade de- bate in the Commons. “To s large extent these will decide whether or not the gains of the past year will be maintained and expanded still further.

"If the U. S. is in a position to sponsor actively the expansion of trade and to implanent this policy with appropriate legislation. there can be little doubt that the way will be open to the further expans- ions of trade.

deed difficult to look to the future with optimism." TIRED OF‘ CRITICISM

opposition members had warned that Canada was "putting all her eggs in one basket" by carrying on heavy trade with the U. 3., but Mr. l-lows said he is getting tired of opposition critics denouncing the U. 8. as a trade octopus.

And while there is concern over increasing American protectionist pressures. ‘'1 do not expect a. trade war either cold or hot." he said. “as long as we continue on both sidu of the border to remember the strong interest of both coun- tries in trading on a neighborly basis."

Overseas sterling area countries are boosting their economic strength and making progrua towards con- vertibility of currencies even though more had been a recession in the U. S. ‘

And now the prevalent view was that the American .eeession had about run its course after a de- cline of 10 per cent in industrial

output and three per com in mi- tlonal production from 1053 peak

levels. i

"If this is to be the firll rxieiitlcanada fairly in

of the present decline, the reces- sion has. by historic standards. been a relatively mild one."

"T00 SMUG" CHARGE

Donald Fleming (PC——Toronto mlintoni disagreed with Mr. Howe that there is no cause for alarm in Canada's foreign trade. The government. he said. .had become too smug and complacent in CTT0l'L\ to help producers sell abroad.

Hon. Earl Rowe iPC—Dufferin- Simcoe) criticised what he derr- cribed as the idea of Liberal party free-traders that Canada must bui- from it country if she expects to sell farm products to that country Canada was devoiing two-thirds of her trade to the U. 5. and yet could not sell wheat. butter or pork there “even at fire-sale prices."
