Mr. Diefenbaker,‘repocrting to the Commons on his talks this week with President Eisenhower, said it was made perfectly clear that Canadian law shall govern the Canadian subsidiaries and that Canadian wishes shall bere- spected.

Asked point blank by CCF House Leader Hazen Argue, whether a company like the Ford Motor Company of Canada would have the right to export cars to Red China, the prime minister said:

“I do express the hope» that if the Ford Company can secure an order from Communist China it will be able to ship the cars.”

The difficulty on exports to Red China is that while the U.S. has an embargo on all such trade that applies to U.S subsidiaries in Can- ada, Canada allows exports to the Communist country of non-stra- tegic goods. Neither has given. diplomatic recognition to the

OTTAWA. —~ (Special) — Re- placement of the Canadian Farm Loan Board. with a new body that would meet the needs ’for

ed." He added that the board no longer serves the needs of many of the farm population of P.E.I. He suggested that if the board couldn’t be replaced, it should be “brought up to date."

Mr. Macdonald expressed con- cern over the number of aban- doned farms in his province. The board was not doing the job in rehabilitation of these lands.

SUGGESTS CHANGE

‘ “We feel strongly,"' he said flatly, “that if arrangements were made to set up good pros- pective farmers under conditions such as those provided under the Veterans Land Act. well super- vised and controlled, then we would have a rehabilitation scheme which would be eminent- ly successful."

The Conservative MFR' urged the Government to take advan- tage of experience and informa- tion to .be presented to the Sen- ate’s land use committee. These should be applied to the rehabili~ tation. of abandoned acreages. P.E.I. Potato Growers, he con- tinued, were not asking a ~ per- manent support price for their crop. But they expected that when an emergency arose V it would be “treated with due cbn- sideration.”

POTATO PROBLEM

At present, potato growers were f‘ca-ught with fairly large holdings” of last year's crop, partly because of a surplus pro— duction and partly because they could not market through the winter because of curtailed rail services and closed highways.

NICOSLA (Reuters) — Cyprus was on the verge of an all-out civil war between Greeks and Turks Friday night.

Eight violent killings in the last 24 hours brought hatred between the two races to the breaking point. Fifty Cypriots have died since inter-racial violence erupted five weeks ago.

bulk — should have been "Some- what higher,” he believed.

“In view of the small amount of money spent in assisting the potato growers compared with that in supporting other phases

of the farming industry," he said, “we do not feel averse to requesting support — and fairly generous support—in an instance such as this.

“If the occasion again arises when support is needed, I hope we shall be dealt with in a gen- erous manner by the govern- merft.” '

Island a'grlculture was “very closely , interwoven with our transport problems," he said.

RAIL SERVICE

“Our rail service has been curtailed with the approval of the Board of Transport Commis- sioners. I feel that it has been cut down too much, where it is now to the disadvantage of both the railway afid our people, par- ticularly our farm people.”

Passenger — vehicle service provided by ferries at Borden and Wood Islands was “inade- quate.” It might be necessary, he felt, to add a new ship to the Borden run.

When the proposed mainland—- Island causeway is built, the Government should consider transfer of some of the Borden facilities to the port of George- town. “It is the finest in the Province," he said proudly, “and has almost year-round ice-free conditions." -

Mr. Macdonald said a connect- ing link from there to Pictou in Nova Scotia would be a practical proposition and would provide an all-year-round and much need- ed service to the eastern section of the Island and Nova Scotia.

Such a move would provide the Province with more accessible markets for farm products as well as a better service for tourists and the travelling pub- lic.
