UPIWWA. June 13—(CP)—R.e- construction Minister Howe today told the it would not. be practical from a view- point for Canada to become self- sufilcient in cos-I supplies.

The longer-range pqljcy, Minister added. at present was under review by Royal Com-

thelr report."

Mr. Howe made the statement] in rwnonse. to redrawn hr," tion members that the Govern- ment formulate a national coal policy which would make the Dominion mdeoc-rldcnt of outside sumliesm

Those taking part in the ddlato included Clarence Gillie (COF- Cape Breton South). and Percy Black (PC-Cumberland).

The Minister said he wished to correct a fcw misunderstandings and one of these was that the United States had imposed an embargo on coal ornaments to Canada. This was not so.

What had happened, he contin- ued. was that coal had been rncv- ed into UnifMFStetm lake in etcem of thcircelpocity to load. N, shipments to the ports

. Coal was mov- iruz out of them freely vessels available to take coal to Canada were obtaining supplies.

However. Mr. Howe said he fell‘. the Government would be "lucky" if It could obtain more than 1.- 000.000 tons from the Maritime! for Central Canada. because of difficulties in increasing output.

Mr. Howe said the base fact was that Canada was depend- ant upon the United States for most of her coal supplies
