Harry Cockshutt, President of the Cockshutt Plow Company and prominently mentioned in rumors of pending deals with the Soviet, in a. statement today. Mir Cockshutt continued: “It would mean more em- ployment for our people and I do no‘. think it would harm anyone." The statement came as a result of a query following the receipt of a des- patch from Montreal wherein Lleut. O01. Herbert J. MacKie, formerly Conservative member of north Ren- frew, is quoted as giving particulars oi’ a Moscow offer. In respect to soft coal, however, Col. Cockshutt, was equally outspok~ en and declared "bltumin or soft coal
