But the conference -- which had been described as the "most vital in the world's history" - began with s friendly fcmlal Welcome to the visitors from Bevin, who com- bined his usual jovial manner with quiet. stern dignity.

'I'he main issue before the con- ference ls whether Germany should be restored into a single political cr economic unit - or be split Into eastern and western zones with a consequent division of all Europe.

The opening of the conference of foreign ministers in ancient. sedate Lancaster House. as describ- ed to correspondents by briefing officers, indicated that Molotov had changed his position little, if any, from the meeting last Ap- ril in Moscow.

The foreign v. ' ‘sters of Britain. the United States, France and Rus-

'sI.a agreed on a six-point agenda.

but split in the usual three-to-one fashion over whether Austria or Germany should get top considera- tion.

Molotov did agree to take up the four-power 40-year disarmament treaty against Germany, provided it was ,‘ ‘ with discussion of wihat Molotov said was the 'fallure" of the western Powers to carry out present demilitarizatlon policies for the Reich.

‘Iihls indicated Molotov would again raise the repeatedly-denied Soviet charges made in Moscow and In the Berlin Allied Control Council that Britain and the Unit- ed States were failing to disarm Germany.

The east and west came to grips

over which order should be given the items in the agenda for discus- sion. Britain. France and the United States said agreement was near on an Austrian treaty and added Iihatli a. quick final settlement could be reached it would reas- sure sn "anxious world."

State Secretary Marshall said "it is very important we agree on ltmethlng quickly to assure the people of the world."

The three western ministers re-

peatedly stressed that they believ- ed Germany the more important of the two problems, but asserted it was imperative that some agree- ments be reached in view of the many previous deadlocks in ad- tion to the long daisy an Q Austrian treaty. Molotov insisted that Germany come first s: the most important problem. and accused the States in particular of placing Ger- many In a secondary position and of changing its policy which had previously placed Germany s; the top problem.

Art Society Monthly Meeting

The Art Society held its regular monthly meeting in the Harris Gallery last evening.

After the reading of the min- utes. the president Mrs. B. Ii. Sutherland introduced the chair- man of the evening, Miss Jaque- lino MacDonald. The , subject. under the direction of Mrs. J. A. Harris was “Old Buildings of P. E. 1.", and the members and their guests were reminded of the old days when a town crler announc- ed all the important events like auction sales. etc.

Major T. E. MacNutt gave a paper on early forts, with inter- esting little stories connected with them. He was followed by Mrs. Fred Gates, who told of the old grist mill, commonly known as Gates‘ Mill, but more correctly named Mayflower Mill, and the listener felt a more wholesome rc- spect for grist mills as Mrs. Gates proceeded. ‘

Mira. R. E. Match then talked on the Buxton House at Winsloe, and had amusing anecdotes to re- late connected with its past. She also mentioned the old home of the I-Iolroyds, and several others, Mrs. W. C. MacLeod and Mr. James Harris, .both added stories on other old houses.

Mr. Harris suggested that next- Summer, all those who go about P. E. I.. to take a pencil snd sketch pad. paints or camera, or even a note book, to record what they find along the highways and by-ways.

These short talks were nearly all illustrated by snap-shots or small paintings by members of the Art Society. There were pictures by Afr. Robert Harris and others, of some of the older buildings mentioned, which have now dis- appeared.

After a discussion, coffee was served, and those present linger- ed to talk over the evening's pro- gramme.

NEW YORK. Nov. 25 —— (CP) -—, A 14-year-old dream was acconv. plished when Peter Burtt paddled, down the Hudson River to end a' continent-spanning voyage by; canoa begun 1'1 months ago In Victoria, BC.

Adverse winds prevented the slender. 28-year-old Canadian from landing at his planned destination at Pier 7'1 in mid-town Manhat- tan. Instead, he came ashore at Spuyten Duyvil, at Manhattan's northern tip, and comp'eted the last leg with an Inglorious IO-mlle

The Russians are already behind s nedule on the current five-year plan. It calls, for example, for the reconstruction of 1.180 plants s year. In 1946 the Russians built only B00 plants. The housing tar-

On the atom bomb, they are stuck for men to turn out pre- cision instruments. and they still must build huge hydro-electric plants.
