Hopes High For Korean iruce

MUNSAN. Koren, Nov. 24-(Sub urday)-AP) Allied and Red staff officers hoped to complete at. Panmunjom late today the job of mapping the line where the shooting might stop in Korea by Christmas.

They went to work Friday as sub-committees agreed, after near- ly four months of wrangling, on a Korean buffer zone to follow the battle line.

The Allies aimed for approval of the cease-fire line by the sub- committees and the full truce delegations by Sunday. Then both sides could leave behind this first obstacle-and move on to three more which could prove just as troublesome.

Hopes for an early settlement on the full cease-fire program were nevertheless riding high in the United Nations camp.

Re Airfields

OTTAWA. Nov. 23-c(O.P)-lPrime Minister St. Laurent today gave the Commons it denial from De- lerice Minister Claxton that he had said at Rotterdam Canada would spent sioo.ooo.0oo on airfields in Europe.

George Drew.

Progressive Cori- servative leader, promptly chal- lenged the Prime Minister's ex- planation of I. Rotterdam news story quoting Mr. Claxton at ii press conference there Wednesday. The exchange was a continu- ation of an incident that began in the House Wednesday night when Mr. Drew took the Defence Min- ister to.task for his reported axi- riouncement that Canada would foot the bill for four or five air- dromes to accommodate Canadian squadrons in Europe.

Mr. Drew contended such an- nouncements should be made first

The Prime Minister. after get- ting in touch with the Defence Minister in Rome, today told the House it had been known gener- ally that Canada would have 11 squadrons in Europe and would need accommodation for them. It also had been indicated to the House, he said, that airfields were not available for them now in Eur- ope.

Also known, the Prime Minister said. was that the cost of con- struction would have to be met and that Canada would have to bear her share. This was to be done in such a way that Canada would not own the property.

The following correspondence relative to Church of England representation at the State dinner tendered to Their Royal Highness- es in Charlottetown was released for publication yesterday by Pre- mier Jones:

St. Mary's Rectory. Charlottetown. P.E.l. November 16, 1&1. The Hon. Walter Jones Premier of Prince Edward Island.

Dear..Sir: .

All the Clergy of the Church of England in Prince Edward Is- land rejoiced in the visit ofTheir Royal Highnesses, the Princess Elizabeth and the Duke of Edin- bungli. to this Province.

It is most regrettable. however, that no Clergyman of the Church of England was invited to the Slate dinner tendered by the Gov- ernment of Prince Edward Island and this has given rise to much adverse criticism.

It is a fact without question that Their Royal Highnesses are members of the Church of Eng- land. that they attended her ser- vices on every Sunday- of their tour and therefore there should have been at least one of the Clergy of their Church present on that ocmsioii.

This letter is signed by all the Clergy of the Church of England in this Province who can only attribute this omission in ignor- ance on the part of those who were responsible for arranging this function and sincerely hope that it was s regrettable over- sight and not a. lack of courtesy to those concerned.

We are,

Respectfully yours,

Premier's Office. Charlottetown, P.E.l. November 2.3. 1961. Rev. G. R. Harrison Archdeacon St. Mary's Rectory Summeraide, P. I. l.

Dear Sir:

I beg to acknowledge the re- ceipt of a letter signed by all the Clergy of the Church of England on Prince Edward Island which was written at your rectory. The letter protests the fact that none of the Church of England clergy was present at the dinner provid- ed by the Provincial Government and suggests that the omission was a "regrettable overnight" or a "lack of courtesy." I beg to assure you it was neither.

1 am unable to understand the sophisiry which seems to claim there is one established church in Canada and the sovereign is in their charge. I doubt if even their Royal liishneeses would be welcome in Canada on that bells. Nor would they be welcome in Dwtvilnd. in my opinion. i sin aware that the Anglican Church in Canada. the Episcopal Church in the United States and the Church as England are quite alm-

liar, but the rights enjoyed by the Church of England do not extend to Canada nor to Prince Edward Island since 1878.

The custom in Prince Edward Island protocol is to have the Ro- man Catholic Bishop to repre- sent. the Catholics and the Presi- dent of the Ministerial Council to represent the Protestants. These two were invited and when an- onymous letters indicated that the Anglican Church desired re- presentation, you. kir, were invit- ed to the function. at the Experi- mental Farrn. We were unable to understand why you considered you were not represented by eith- er of the clergyman at the din- her, and we probably assumed you were represented by the Min- isterial Council. In any case you were invited to the only place where seats were available at that time.

In the classification ”Slighis real or imaginary". the case is certainly the latter, and I know, sir. what advice your church gives in such a situation.

Yours truly. J. WALTER JONES Premier.

Imports-i-if Furs To Be

KEY WEST. Pia, Nov. 2s-tAP)- President Truman today ordered elimination of all United states trade concessions to Russia and Poland under the reciprocity trade agreement program.

His action cuts out all benefits under the moat-favored nations p:ovisions.

Extends Action

The same action previously had been taken against the Commun- ist-controlled countries of Czech- oslovakia, Bulgaria, Hungary and Communist China. .

The President at the same

time directed it complete pro- hi-biilori agadnist importation of any dressed and undressed furs from either Poland or Russia. Presidential Secretary Joseph short disclosed the President's action in putting new economic screws on the Russians and Poles at a press conference here.

He said Truman had signed a letter to Secretary of the Treasury Snyder directing Snyder tn elim- inate the trade agroements eon- cesslons to Russia and Poland as of January 5. 1962

While this action would elim- inate traffic concessions on shin- ments into this country, the pro- hibition against the all-important fur shlpmentsi into the U. S. is absolute. -

The furs specified are ermine. fox, kolinsky, marten, mink, musk- rat and weasel. either dressed or undressed. The ban on the fur im- ports is complete; they may not be brought in at any rate of duty.

Truman's action was formal

notice to the Treasury Depart- ment, which has charge of the Customs Service.

The U. S. and Russia have a

trade agreement dating back to Aug. 4. 1987. providing for "most.- favored nation" tariff treatment in their trade. The State Depart- ment gavc the requlsite advance notice of termination in ii note last July 6.

The treaty with Poland was signed June 15, i931. and contain- ed similar most-favored-nation provisions. Poland also was noti- fled last July 6 that the U. S. wanted to terminate these pro- visions.

BIRMINGHAM, England. Nov. 23-(Reuters) - Two of Britain's biggest automobile producers - Austin and Morris-announced a merger today which will set up an industrial colossus turning otit al- most half the countryls motor vehicles.

The deal is worth s86o.000,000st current market prices.

Together the two firms produc- ed almost half Britain's current output of 500,000 cars a year-the balance being split mainly among the liootes Group, Ford and Gen- eral Mot.ors' British branch.

A statement from Austin said the merger. handled by setting up an over-all holding company, was aimed at "more efficient and economic production" and as a benefit for export and foreign as- sembly business.

Few details were available but it is likely the separate name makes will be retained-Austin in their own name and under the Morris name: Morris. Riley. M.G.. Woiaely and Morris commercial trucks.

The Morris empire was built up by William Richard Morris, now

He took over managcment of Austin's. after working for Nut- field, and since the war has jumped the company's profits by millions.

The company made him a gift- of 593,000 recently in return for a promise never to work for anyone else. Austin's was started in 1905 by Herbert Austin, who died in 1941.

There will be no more cars for Britons out of iodayls blg”deal. The government requires that something like 90 per cent of the total output must be export to earn foreign currency. waiting lists are years long in Britain.
