Churchill Expresses Thanks To Russians For Flood Relief

LONDON. (AP)-Prime Minister Churchill invited soviet ambassa- dor Andrei clromyko to his official residence Monday and thanked him for Russia's 9:90.000 flood re- lief gift.

The Russian gift was the third instance of generosity toward I non-Communistcountry in a week.

Friendship Offeudvef

We stern diplomats speculated that it was part of a new "friend- ship" offensive by Russia. They wondered if it was intended as a hid for closer relations with west- ern nations, particularly where there are hints of Allied disunity.

The apparent warmth of Chur- chill's response caught the atten- tion of the diplomats.

The soviet Embassy announced Friday. after many generous con- tributions from Canada. the Unit- ed States and other Western countries to flood sufferers in Bri- tain, The Netherlands and Bel- gium. that it had turned over a cheque for 990,000 to the Lord Mayor of Ipndon.

other Russian Gifts

Previously Russia had announced cash gifts for relief for flood suf- ferers in Holland and earthquake victims in Iran.

Gromyko drove to Churchill's residence Monday in I. Russian limousine. Later, in the House of Commons, Churchill announced:

"I asirell Gromyko. the soviet ambauador, to call upon me'ao I might. express personally my thanks for this act of klndneu which is warmly appreciated by the Brltishlnation. He visited me at 10 Downing street this mom- mg for the purpose. He undertook to convcymy thanks and thou of the government to all oncemed."

The House cheered the announce-

' merit.

Gromyko took up his post here last July amid speculation that the Kremlin would seek to play upon differences in the Brltish-Amei-i- can camp. particularly over China and the Far East.

Chinese Nationalists Scrap Alliance With Soviet Union

By Spencer lllmisii

TAIPEH, Formosa. (AP) - The long-dead1945 treaty of alliance and friendship between Russia and Nationalist China was formally scrapped Monday by Genernlissinio Chiang Kai-shek's government in a cold war move with hot over- tones.

Repudistion of the defunct pact. technically put the Nationalists in position to sanction the bombing of the Chinese Changchun Railway in Manchui-ia which is feeding war supplies made in Russia to Chnese and Korean Red forces in Korea.

Also it would technically permit Chiang to apply military pressure against the Soviet naval bases of if-Bairen and Port Arthur in Man- churia or lake part in United Nat- ions operations against the ports if such a decision were reached by the international orgunzatlon.

Embraced Entire Treaty

The repudlcntion embraced the entire treaty, including that port- ion ln which the Natonalisls recog- nized the independence of Outer Mongolia. The Nationalists served notice they regard outer Mongolia as part of China.

IJDNDON. (Reuters) M Forelzu Secretary Anthony Edtn told the llouse of Commons Monday that the British government ordered the dismantling of Chilean and Argon- tine huts on Deception Island in the antarctic to show unequivocally its attitude "to enroachincnts of this type on British teri-itory."

He said the hills set up by Chile and Argentina. last month on an airstrip adjoining the British base on the contested island "represen- ted not merely an infringement of our sovereignty on the island but a nuisance and an obstruction to those who were maintaining our base."

protested against 'the dismantling action and Argentina challenged Britain's removal of two Argentin- ians from the island. The two coun- tries demanded replaeemc it of the buildings and reiissertcd their claims to the territory in question.

Barren Deception island lies about 1.000 miles south of the lip of South America. among the ant- arctic South Shetland islands which Britain claims as depend- encies of its Falkland Islands. ly- ing east of south America.

wo-Cenl-Cut Comes On Top Of ax Decrease

MONTREAL. (OP) - Major to- baooo companies Monday announ- ced a two-cent cut in the price of cigarr.-ts, on top of the four-cent cut in excise duties announced last week by Finance Minister Abbott.

Where there are no provincial taxes, the consumer price will be 33 cents for a package of 20 Clg. arets. The 25-cigai-et pachage will cost 41 cents.

No Reason For Cut

Reason for the out was not an. nounced by the companies. There was no indication whether move meant a sudden little price war or whether smuggling. preval- ent at border poin-ts. had any bearing. I

The first announcement came from the Imperial Tobacco Coin- Dany in Montreal. followed by the Macdonaid Tobacco Company in Montreal and the Tuokctt Tobacco Company in Hamilton.

Effective Immediately

The new consumer price becomes

effective with shipments made by the companies Monday. I Six provinces have varying pro- .vincial taxes on clgarets. In its an- nouncement, Imperial said costs to the consiuner for a Z0-cigaret package, including provincial tax. is expected to be: Saskatchewan. British Columbia and Newfound- land. 34 cents: New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island, 31 cents; Quebec. 37 cents.

For the 25-cigaret package: Sask- atchewan, British Columbia and Newfoundland. 42 cents; New Bruriswick and Prince Edward Is- land. 46 cents; Quebec, 46 cents.

Tax Cut Retroactive

A short time before the compan- ies' announcement, Finance Minis. ter Abbott said in Ottawa that the four-cent reduction in excise duty- for package of 20-15 being made retroactive to Feb. 1. In the budget, brought down in the Commons Feb. 19, the reduction in excise duty to eight from 12 per 1,000 pig- arats was made effective Feb. 20.

The change was made. said the minister, so consumers will get the immediate benefit.

The revenue department will cre- dit manufacturers wilm the tax reduction on all cig-arels produced, packaged and stamped since Feb. 1. Most companies had excise stamps at the old higher value al- ready affixed to shipments in ware- houses when the budget announce- ment was made. Otherwise, stamps held by companies were made re- deemable at value.

Officials in Ottawa said they ex- pect manufacturers still to lose on the deal. Supplies of cigarots for four or five weeks are kept moving from factory to consumer. so the reduction will apply on only about (three weelrs' supply.
