alange In Command Of 28th L.A.A. llegt

Announcement was made yester- day of the retirement as Acting iofficer Commanding of M110! L- E. Wellner of the 28th L.A.A. Regi- ment, and the appointment as his successor of Major D. J. McCor- mack. above.

Major Welliicr took over acting command on the retirement of Lieut. Col. H. Gordon Williams a year ago. His successor is well known throughout the Province for his athletic achievements in hoc- key and in the boxing ring. "Danny" Mccormack was one of the best known fighters locally before the past war. llla unorthodox stance and boxng style. combined with his southpaw fighting and terrific hitting power. made him one of the most feared men in the squared crcle.

A native of souris, Major Mc- Cormack enlisted at the start of the war and rose rapidly through the ranks. But he took time out in southern Italy to wlii the chainp- ionship of the services in the light. heavyweight division as the troops were workng their way towards Rome.

He is now a resident of this city and lives on McGlll Avenue with his wife and family.

Also announced yesterday was the retirement, effective March 1. of Major R. S. MacDonald wno commanded the Nova smile But- tery of the Regiment. No successor to Maj. MacDonald was named ini- medlately.

Lifting Of U. S. Embargo

By Harold Morrison

tcaiiadimi tress Staff Writer) OTTAWA. (CP) -- Canada Wll. iiift. most of her meat and livestock i"port controi.s. probably late Mon- day, immediately following the end of the year-long United states em- b '13 on Canadian ipments. offi- cials said Sunday. special Canadian government statement, ending the colitrols and touching on other meat and live- stock problems, is being prepared and will be issued just as soon as

the U. 5. opens its border, the officials added. Closed Feb. 25. 1952 The S. border. closed since

Feb. 25, 1952, the date Canada. of- ficially announced a foot-and- mouth disease outbreak in south Saskatchewan. is expected to be opened through a formal order to be signed by U. 5. Agriculture sec- retary Ezra Benson Monday after- noon.

The U. S. embargo was to have been lifted Sunday. March 1. but last Friday the American agricul- ture department announced there would be a slight delay in signing the order.

So e Canadian officials attri- buted the delay partly to the fact that since March I fell on a Sun- day, there might be a question of the legality of any business order issued on the sabbath.

In any case. officials will make certain. through a long-distance telephone check with Washington. that the American order is signed brfore the Canadian government statement. is issued.

The American order will swing open the are to the world's big- gest. meat market. one that absorbs normally about si2o.o0o.ooo worv.

a” year. .

Cr-iada. through a surplus meat producer. normally imports is lot of specialty meats and standard cuts. too. especially when the U. S. price slips below the Canadian Im-ports range between 320000.000 and S30.- 0O0.000 a year.

Bun U. S. Pork

Import restclctions were impos- ed just a. few days after the Amer- ican embargo was ordered. The Canadian government statement eliminating the controls likely will specify. however. that w . Amer- ican bee-f cm enter the Canadian market, American pork will be kept. out.

Reason is the existence on some American farms of vesicular exan- theme. a disease somewhat like foot-and-mouth disease which af- fects only swine. Live hogs and raw park from the U. S. will not be allowed into Canada until the disease is eradicated.

In the same way Canada will con- tiiiuc to keep out cattle from Scot- land and England because of the existence of.foot-and-mouth infec- tion on some Scottish and Eng- llsh farms.

SYDNEY. Australia, tAP)-Aus- trallais wool growers are making about half the money they made two years ago. but are they wov- rlcd? No. Theyirc still the richest group in the land.

The big man who grossed 1:100.- 000 in the boom year of 1950-51 now is grossing 550.000.

The small man made 210.000 in the boom year, will have around 26,000 this year. Thnt's- still a lot more than most rlty executives can show on their tax returns.

The wool price today is about half what it was two years ago.

Australian Wool Growers Not Worried By Prices

m:...........?....

The biggest loser in this drop is the income tax commissioner. He starts taking 66 per cent of ncome ovcr H.000 and at 9:10.000 the rate is up to 70 per cent.

The. grazler is pleased about the present. wool price and for three good reasons:

1. He has'enough money not to worry about spending an odd pound or two.

2. The price seems stable. and it looks as if he can plan on his income staying up at the present level.

WASHINGTON, (AP) L me Eiscniiower administration is re- ported ready to try a new approach in Middle East policy. It involves pziiliitz more attention to Arab miititrlcs and loss to Israel.

TOD officials are reported cori- vinced this change 15 necessary if the Western bloc is to counter vast. ly-increased Russian pressure in the area.

The new am will be in treat all (fOl.lll?l'i9x' ill the area alike and to avoiri any special aid programs or privileges for Israel.

Reverses Former Policy

Under the Democratic adminis- tration, the United States gave the infant Jeiiish republic more finali- cial and technical aid than all the Arab states combined.

Congress, which traditionally has b0Pn partial to Israel, could possibly upset the new policy before it even gets s'nrtcd.

But responsible officials who hope to translate the new policy into action believe they mm per- suade Conmess to view the Middle East in terms of the whole region and not Israel alone.

Need To Block Russia

Their argument will thing like this:

Russia has stat-terl a major polit- lI"4l and propaganda offensive to win over the Arab nations and pos- sibly grab off the rich oil fields of Iran Iraq. Saudi Arabia and Ku- wall along with the strategic Suez area.

The best hope of thwarting this plot is to put new drive into the Wevlfs stalled plans for creating a Middle East defencc alliance which includes most. Arab nations.

This will be virtually impomble as long-.-as the' Arab-nations con. tlnue to believe that American pol- icy Will always be heavily pro-Is- met.

To prove this is false and to per- suade Arab states to spum Russia's overturns. it must be. necessary to treat all Middle Eastern states im- partially.

This does not mean the United States will be anti-Israeli, Israel's legitimate needs will receive care- attentlon along with the require- ments of all neighboring Arab islates.

I Event-uallv. after the Middle East

alliance is a going concern. Israel will he invited to join. With all sides linked in a common alliance. it. may then be possible to insure Arab-Jewiisfh peace and an effect- ive defense against Russia.
