Is ilsusing Bosssrn

KELOWNA. 3.0., Sept. 2s - (GP) — Directors of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture at a closer‘.- session today, the conclud- ing day of their special tlu-ee-dey convention here. were reported to have given serious discussion to the acute shortage of feed grain in Eastern Canada and British Columbia. No offlcle-l announce- ment was made. but it was learned that some of the directors were particularly cone led because of the possliblllty that ceiling prices might shortly be lifted from feed grains.

Livestock producers considered the decontrol measure would im- perli tlheir industry, already har- assed by feed shortages and the crippling packlnglhotlse strike.

Interested ln Nagasaki Groo

OTTAWA Sent. 25 — (C?) — Canadian atomic scientist; today expressed interest in Tokyo re- ports of super-abundant crops har- vested on the atom-bombed lands of Nagasaki but commented “it's a pretty expensive way to raise s crc-p."

“But. sp€aklng seriously," said one atonliic authority, "we haven't any idea how that would happen. "Normally, radioactivty would hinder rather than help crops but so many things happen when an atomic bomb explodes that you Just can't say."

Ruling out the possibility of ex- periment in Canada, he raid: “We've never exploded an atomic bomb in Canaca and we don't want to." The Tokyo report said summer crops at Nagasaki have shown in- creases of from b0 to 300 per cent over the normal yield.

Grave Economic Situation Says Mr. J. P. Johnson

The economic situation of Can- ada was becoming a matter of increasing concern to all patriotic Canadians. Mr. J.P. Johnson, vice- president of the Canadian Nat- ional Railways. told the delegates of the Canadian Association of Travel and Publicity Bureaux at a banquet held last night at The Charlottetown.

Mr. Johnson, who was the guest speaker, recalled the statement of Sir Wilfrid Laurler that the 20th century belonged to Canada and added that 47 per cent of that century had passed with the truth of sir Viilfrid Laurlers statement still much in doubt.

During the first six months of i947, he said, Canada's excess of imports over exports was more than 400 million dollars, a situat- ion which was of ominous signif- icance.

Mr. Johnson said that l-i0 mil- lion Americans had spent 214 inti- lion dollars in Canada last year. During the same period. 12 mil- lion Canadians had spent 131 millions tn the United States. Had the per caplta spending of Amer- icans _ln QauadLJ t , _ , al- led that of Canadifirflrisfilfltfiq n- itecl States. Americans would have spent one billion dollars in Canada in 1947.

The Canadian National vice- president made a. plea for those in the tourist industry to increase their standard of service and to encourage their leaders in their efforts to build their Association up to the point where its oppor- tunities for serving Canada would be greatly amplified.

Chic! Justice Thane A. Campbell cccnplimontod Mr. .7. P. Johnson on his address and congratulated Mr. Rowebottom on his re-election as President of The Canadian Associ- ation of Tourist‘ and Publicity Bureeux for a third term. l-Ie spoke of the development of the Tourist Industry cm Prince Edward Island and some of its present needs. Ho referred to the splendid organizat- ional work accomplished fc-r this Province by B. Graham Rogers in building up the industry which he said had been recognized not only here but all over Canada. He ex- pressed the hope that when the op- portunity arcse this Convention would again be hcld in Prince Ed- walrd Island when the delegates would receive another warm wol- oome from the people of thisProv- lrlce.

Mr. Johnson's speech was pre- ceded by a brief address of wel- come to the Association's dele- gates by His Honour Lieut-Gov- ernor J. A. Bernard.

BATHURST, N. 13., Sept. 25- Cloud banks over the Nepisigult watershed will be bombed from high altitudes with dry lce crys- tals in an effort to bring about heavy rainfall and increase the power supply of the big rnlll of Bathurst Power and Paper 00., Ltd.. it was learned tonight.

Chief source of employment In this town. the mill is operating on part time because of an acute power shortage. The situation a- rose from s breakdown in the steam-power generating unit last Sunday combined with an excep- tionally low level of the Neplslguit River where the company has a hydro plant at Bathurst Mines.

J. Gordon Chalmers, mill man. ager. said it might be two or three weeks before the unit could be restored to service. A Montreal expert has been flown to Bathurst to try to speed repairs.

Meanwhile, with the river at such a low point. only a minimum of power can be obtained from that source. If the “bomblng" creates man-made rain, it will step up the power output and greatly ease the situation.

The exeriment has been planned by C. C. Mersereau. president of Bat-burst Air Services, Limited, which holds a Government con- tract for aerial patrol of New Brunswick forests.

Communism Is Major Issue At Labor Congress

By John '.eBlanc

HAMILTON, Sept. 26 -- (GP) - Communlsm emerged today as a major issue at the Trades and Labor Congress of Canada's an- nual convention.

Heated invective was levelled on

the convention floor against J.A. (Pat) Sullivan, who resigned in May as secretary-treasurer 0f the T.L.C., Canadian affiliate of the A.F‘.L., and president of the Ca- nadian Seamens Union because, he said, the C. s. U. was Communist- dominated. e Sullivan's No. l enemy --burly Harry Davis, president of the C. S. U. -callecl bespectacled Pat a ‘renegade’ from Labor and accus- ed him of a. tie-in with manage- ment.

In his departure from the 05.0., Sullivan had charged Communist activities to Davis. TAG. (Jerry) McManus of Toronto. secretary- treasurer of the 05.0., and Dewar Ferguson of Toronto, all on the convention floor. Davis and Fergu- son took the floor today to lash out against the former secretary- treasurer.

They talked on a resolution that would have expelled Sullivan from any future participation in the ac- tivities of a T.L.C. union. Event- ually, the Congress decided only to "condemn" Sullivan for his "anti- labor activities.

In other moves. the convention:

1. Passed a resolution favor- ing retentlon of the CBC.

2. Endorsed the extension of the voting franchise to per- sons 18 years old.

3. Urged the Federal Gov- ernment to take control, for Canadian fishermen, of the continental shelf. as the Unit- ed States has done.

4. Called for national health insurance.

5. Asked better safety meas- ures ln grain elevators. . 6. Asked for a hospital plan
