. A plea for uniformity in finan- cial accountinl by -11 savann- m.nu1.bodi9l. particularly muni- duiiues, was made by 0. L Beasley. K.C.. Deputy Provincial 5,u-gm-y of Nova Scolds and J. H Lowther of the Dominion Bureau of statistics in addresses delivered hue yesterday at the annual meet- ing of the Dominion Association of Chartered Accountants. With the tremendous growth in public ex- penditure by all public authorities. federal, provincial. and municipal, in the years elncg Confederation the necessity for a full and com- plete disclosure of all government spending .was more apparent than ever. it was emphasized.

Until recent years. said Mr Lowther. no effort was made by :he Provinces to require municipal- ities to show financial information in a. uniform manner. Thus while :he municipalities of one Province night list expenditures on street :epalre under "Public Works". moss in another Province might tcid expenditures on garbage col- lection and disposal. street clean- .ng and maintenance. sewer re- .iairs.' and operating expenses un- ier that heading.

Considerable improvement "has. however. been brought about ir. tecent years. Mr. Lowther said. as I result of the depression of the .iiirties which had so disastious In effect on municipal finances. 'No perfect system of municipal nstitutions can be devised by guess-work." he stated. "but de- pends upon facts. If proper statist- cs had been made public year by year in the past quarter century. it is improbable that disaster would have overtaken many municipalit- ins which had to default in pay- ment of their obligations. The fact. that they were borrowing beyond their means would have been brought to light and curbed."

Members Urged To Head for Oilawa Al first Chance

OTTAWA. Aug. 3 -(OP) --The government today urged members of Parliament to head for Ottawa "at the earliest possible moment” for Tuesday's opening of a special session on the railway strike and defence. It said a general delay In departures could bring congestion on the airlines.

A statement by Transport Min- ister Chevrier listed elaborate ar- rangements to use civil and. if necessary. Department of Trans- port and military aircraft to get them here but said the onus is on each member to make his own ar- rangements to use those facilities

The statement followed Prime Minister at. Laurent's announce- ment that the session will start Tuesday. It is as follows: i

"Members residing west of Que- bec City and east of Port Arthur but excluding these two points. will be expected to make his owr. arrangements for tramporhatlon, not forgetting that some space may be available on U. S. airlines. rail- ways or buses. but. in the event of any member being unable to main satisfactory auangements. he should communicate with the Director of Air services. Department of Trans- port. Qttawa (phone 9-'lo9l) giv- ing his address and stating when and where he will be available for movement.

"At the same time each member who is unable to make satisfactory arrangements himself should com- municate this fact to the nearest T. C. A. agent. Every member is urged in start for Ottawa at the earliest possible moment in order to distribute the loads as evenly. as possible on the airlines. Each member is requested to notify the D. A. 5. when. and by what means. he is expected to arrive in Ottawr.

or at some intermediate point from which further transportation will be required.

"In event of it becoming neces- sary to charter special aircraft. the following assembly points will be used as points of gxlparture: Van- couver. Calgary. E . onton. Saska- toon, Regina. Winnipeg. Pbrt Wil- liam. Moncton. Halifax and st John's. Nfld.

"Members relying on this means of transportation are requested to make their own way to the nearest point entioned, at the same time advising the D. A. B. of the time oflthgir expected arrival at that

ii

The minister added the infome- tion that if T. C. A. or other scheduled air lines could not pro- vide the required accommodation. chartered aircraft would be used.

"In the eventuality of such air- craft not being available." said th- minister. "Department of Tram- port aircraft will be used." His staff was standing by in the event of such la situation developing, The minister said further that if the facilities of civil aviation were not sufficient. the Royal Canadian Air Force was prepared to par- ticipate. .

The following furtber'ccmmuni- cations between the Federal Min- ister of Transport and the Char- lottetown Board of Trade were re- leased for publication yesterday by President Storey:

"F. J. Storey, Pres. "Charlottetown Board of Trade

"Re further message received. May I point out in you that the undertaking given by the Govern- ment of Canada to Prince Edward- Island is clearly established and recognized to the effect that ef- ficient service should be main- tained between the Island and the mainland. thus placing Island in continuous communication with the inter-colonial railway and the railway system of, the Dominion. 1 am sure you would not interpret this responsibility to extend to all even-tuslities such as acts of God.- wsr. strikes and other causes be- yond control of the Government. My information is that Newfound- land and the Island of Vancouver will be in the same position. How- ever. will be glad to give further considers? to your suggestion and bring matter to attention of my colleagues.

"Lionel Clscvrler "Minister of Transport.” T T e e 0 '

August 22. 1950 The Honorable Louis St. Laurent Prime Minister of Canada Ottawa. Ontario. Dear Sir:

We attach herewith communic- aiionst received from , your Gov- ernment and would note that the last paragraph of the message dat- ed the Zlst is causing this Board concern when compared with your advice of the 10th.

The communi iion dated the 21st August has been carefully studied and discussed and we now bring to your attention the results of our study.

I. Atstrike action is not consid- ered comparable to "an Act of God" or even "War". We do not -at this time consider any event- uality ihat might be classed un- der "other causes."

2. This Board does not in any way mini l the seriousness of the situation affecting Newfound- land and Vancouver Island.

However:

(a) The ferries servicing Van- couver Island are owned as well as operated by the C. P. R.

(b) The ferries servicing New- foundland at the time of Confed- eration of that Province with the Dominion were placed completely under and to form part of the C. N. R. system.

In these instances there is rean- on to assume that in the event of a railway strike these ships would be affected. l

However. The car ferries at Bor- den are not part of the Railway system in fact. but 'sre placed under operational control of the C. N. R. The C. N.R. operation of our ferries has always been and still is only one alternative meth- od ofimainiaining the Dominion Government's guarantee to this Province of continuous ferry ser- vice. .

If the C. N. R. as agent of the Dominion Government. fails to provide continuous service there is no evident reason why the C. N. R. should not cease to be the agent and the car ferries placed under a department of Government or un- der a commission to ensure such continuous operation.

I C

August '21. 1050 To the Honorable Louis St. Laur- chi:

The Board wishes to make clear that we are not. attempting at this time to secure ntinusnce of rail service or in any way interfere with the railway strike. We are concerned only at this time with continuation of the highway ser- vice provided by the ferries and recognised under the Trans-Cam ada Highway agreement as part of such highway.

In view of the very'serious sit- uation facing this Province this Board urges you. Sir. to

1. Rescind the order which placed the car ferries under the C. N. R. for operation.

2. Place at least the S. 5. Prince Edward Island. which is the more readily commissioned, back intog service i mediately.

3. improve the service by plac- ing the S. S. Abegweit in operat- ion as soon after as possible.

If the full picture of car ferry service to this Province is made known there should be no ground for charges whatever of strike- breaking.

Your earllsst advice and assist- ance issnxiously awaited by the people, of this Province.

Is JaliobMalik - Threatening General War?

By J. M. Boberfs. Jr. o

Associated Press News Analyst

students of both language and politics at. Lake success are study- ing the words of Soviet delegate Jakob Malik in an effort to deter- mine whether he is actually threat- ening a general w(r.

Twice during this month of his security council presidency the Soviet delegate has made statements which sound much that way.

He said Aug. 3 regarding Korea that "the Security Council and the United Nations face a choice be- tween two paths: the path of peace and the path of war."

Tuesday he seemed to go even farther. continuation of the war in Korea (instead of ending it on Rus- sian terms) he said. "would inevit- ably lead to a broadening of the

' conflict."

U. 8. state Department experts

the Russian language began

studying the words and their con- ): . -

Sir Gladwyn Jebb of the United Kingdom didn't wait. He started quoting chapter and verse from Communist texts to show that when the soviet speaks most'loudly of peace it Ls preparing most actively for war.

Malik has been doing a .iot of talking about that. too. claiming that Russia's policy is one of peace while everyone else is heading down the war road.

Jebb pulled the book. He quoted from volume two of the official soviet history of diplomacy about the "concealment of predatory ends behind noble principles." and "the exploitation of (the idea) of dis- armament and pacifist propaganda for one's own purposes."

Jebb quoted the r mmunist Min. later of Defence iii Hungary as say- ing April 12 that true pacifism had to be wiped out among party members before it could be wiped out among the masses.

Jebb reminded Mallk of Stalin's statement in 1939 that France and Britain had attacked Germany. The Briton went on at length about Soviet use of Hitler's "big-lie tech- nique.

It is difficult. in many cases. to tell from an English translation what a Russian means. Because'Russians do sot think like Britons. and Amer- lclns. and their words do not mean the same. From Mallk's context on the two occasions it is possible to read his words as referring to broadening of the Korean war through involvement of the forces of U. N. members other than the United States. It is also possible to read them as predicting a gen- Gnl W" despite Russia's desire to avoid it.

But when Molotov and Viahlnsky referred to their being no more sec- ret about the atom bomb it was fol- lowed by a Russian atom bomb. When Malik talks about a bigger war it is easy to take it as a pred- iction of something that is planned. something that is already generally feared. and something. that is more or less expected anyway.

CHARLOTTETOWN

llotor Launch Makes Trip From caribou

.....-

Loaded down with bread from Caribou: N. 8.. the motor launch Ran-A-Tan last night tied u at Buntain and Bell's wharf, - lotteto -- shortly lafter eight o'- clock with the first boat load of supplies to be ferried in this man- ner from the mainland since the strike began.

Operated by 18-year-old Robert Vatcher and his mother us. Leonard Vatcher. of Charlottetown. the to foot motor launch carried 350 cartons of bread with cartons ranging in else from so to 300 loaves.

Dealers from Charlottetown and sinrimers.de were on the wharf with trucks awaiting the R.an-A- Tan with her cargo. The trip from caribou was made in about five hours.

The Vatchers left here pbout nine yesterday morning and ar- rived in Caribou. a distance of about so miles. around one o'clock.

.They were ready to return about

three o'clock with the bread that had been transported to Caribou from Monclon by truck.

The Ran-A-Tan has been used during the summer for harbour cruises. The owners have no fur- ther plans for ferry runs but state they will use the best if necessary during the strike.

Local ciiii Pickering Maintained Yesterday In Orderly Manner

Business men of Charlottetown felt the results of the present railway strike yesterday as some of them endeavoured to have pre- paid shipments unloaded at the local freight yard. Permission was refused unless the goods were perishable. and strike offl- cials stated they were waiting for instructions from Moncbon as to whether commodities such as coal and flour could be un- loaded.

Plcketing of the Hotel and the various railway departments is being,malnt-alned in an orderly fashion twenty-four hours a day.

One of the shipments which was released was a carlo'ad of oil for the hospitals. It is under- stood that the oil is heated when it arrives in Charlottetown and if it should cool mustrbe re- heated belore it can be used. Shipment, reached the hospitals without undue delay however. Another car contains a shipment of Government liquor for the "vendors. and this is one railway car which will hear more than the usual amount of watching by pick-eters.

Instructions for the local strike committee are received fmm Mr. George Lowe, Moncton. district leader. who is responsible to Mr- F. H. Gillespie, Moncton. general area leader.

The local organization consists of six groups whose chairmen are as follows: Canadian Brother- hood of Railway Employeeli F'- F. Sigsworth; Federated Trades- men. Preston MacLean: Mainten- ence of Way. Harry Hennessey: Order of Railway Telegraphers. Jame. E. Cameron: Engine Men. Joseph Paquef; Boat Committee. Reginald MacAleer. Another grollll. Running Trades. under the chair-

”p of George Ryan. are not members of the union but are out on strike in sympathy with the union members.
