irmcutions For Inompioyment ins. lot infractions
d!'IlAWA. July 5 - More than 00 prosecutions for infractions
the .'Unemployment insurance ct were instituted by the Unem-
'yment Insurance Commission
ing the fiscal year ended March
at last. During the same period
0 convictions were registered. In
previous meal year 714 prose-i tions of all types were com-,
eneed. I
In giving out these figures the, ynemployment Insurance Commis- pion emphasized the fact that its
fflcerl are required to see that
a law is observed. During the early years of the Unemployment
ranoe program there was per-: I2: some reason for failure to observe its provisions. Now. how- ever, the Act has been in effect for ! nearly a decade. and information! pespecting its provisions is obtain- Ibis at any employment office of the Commission. Consequently the Commission feels that a policy of pore rigorous enforcement is just- med.
In analysing the prosecutions it is noted that those against claim- ants for benent totalled 751 where- as. in the previous fiscal year this total was 594. Prosecutions against employers for failure to pay con- tributions on behalf of insurable employees totalled 270 as compar- ed with 69 in 1948-49.

NEW YORK. July 5 - (CF) - E. R. Plunkett, head of one of the largest lumber wholesalers in the Northeast United Statics. said yes- terday that some American distri- butors are considering a 30-day withdrawal fromthe Canadian market .because of high prices.
Plunkett, president of l-'lunkett- Webster, Incorporated. said mill prices of upper-grade Canadian hardwoods now are so high that American distrib tors can't pay the price and st 1 resell at a pro- fit. He said the mill price of birch and maple now stands at 3220 a thousand board feet at nearly ev- ery mlll in Canada. This was 10 per cent more than American dis- tributors can pay.
Plunkett blamed the huge de- mand by American furniture manufacturers. particularly in the New England states. for the high prices. ,
While the price of mo been quoted by some Canadian mills for a long time, he said. it is only in the last l0 days that virtually all Canadian mills have fallen into line.
Plunkett reported that a repre-
has
returned from Ottawa. where mill officials "wouldn't even talk to him" when he offered 3200 a thou- sand".
The representative also reported that there were 10 'buyers for every carload of lumber.
Plunkett said no definite decision has yet been reached on the 30- day withdrawal, but "we must de- cide soon if we want to back away for a month or gamble that furn- iture manufacturers will accept Canadian lumber, which is boundl to advance on additional 10 to is per cent if all distributors stay in the market."
"We hesitate about immediate withdrawal only because we know some distributors definitely will continue to buy."

criminal code Said Adequate
mj
O'I"I'AWA. July 5 - (CP) -Just- ice Minister Garson said in the Commons a large number of con- victions against drunken drivers can be obtained under the Crim- inal Code if the provinces really want to enforce the law.
He made the statement after John Diefenbaker (PG-Lake Cen- tre) and A. L. smith (PC-Calgary west)-both lawyers-renewed re- quests that Canada adopt a sys- tem under which drivers involved in accidents be subjected to breath, blood or urine tests if it appears they are intoxicated.
Mr. Garson said he did not wish to indicate that legislation provid- ing for such tests will never be brought down. but at present the provinces are opposed to such action. ,
The Justice Department agreed with the necessity for some method to prevent acccidents caused by drunken drivers. The department did not disagree with the test de- vices, but evidence showed they were more difficult to employ than many persons believed.
Some experts claimed the tests could not be relied on to give ac- curate information on the degree of intoxication.
had menticined in an earlier debate the victions of drunken drivers under existing legislation. Following that debate, Mr. Garson wrote to the Attorney-General of Manitoba for information on the number of con- victions in that province. He had found that only eight per cent of the accused brought before the courts in Winnipeg were acquitted.
This showed, said Mr. Garson. that the present sections of the Criminal Code are enforceable and that a large number of convictions can be obtained without the tests.
In launching the discussion dur- ing study of Mr. Garson's 1950-51 estimates. M.r. Deifenbalcer said that Detroit had reduced fatalities from drunken driving by 93 per cent in six years following adopt- ion of the breath test.
The test removed the possibility of the defence claiming that a driv- er's condition following an acci- dent was due to shock and not to intoxication.
He said that when he had rais- ed the subject in the Commons several weeks ago every outstand- ing newspaper in Canada, with about two exceptions had favored doing something to prevent the colossal casualty toll taken by drunken drivers.
Deaths caused by drunken driv- ers were five or six times as many as those resulting from murder or manslaughter.
some might claim that a breath test would represent interference with the rights of the individual. He disagreed and said such a test would give the man an opportun- ity to prove his innocence of in- toxication when involved in an ac- cident for which he was obviously guilty.
Mr. Smith said it was difficult to obtain convictions in drunken driving cases. The accused could always produce friends who would claim that they had been with him and he had Only taken a couple of beers and a sip out of someone else's glass.

7 True Success Story

Continued from page 2 ,ary passed away at the age of eighty-six years. After his death no one took enough interest in the mission to carry on the good work, and the Indian converts gradually fell from grace and took up their former manner of living. 1 Many years after John Eliot had 1 been in his grave those in charge '0! Indian affairs finally realized the value of his long years of la- bor. But the task he had devoted the greater part of his life to lay fallow because the pioneer educa- tor and missionary par excellence left no worthy successors.
Close to the site where the first Indian Church was built stands a monument to this self-sacrificing preacher and teacher, who was one of the very few to claim jus- tice for the original inhabitants of the new world. Had the white the vision to follow this modern St. Paul many misunderstandings and much bloodshed might have been avoided between the two races. Forcing a savage people to obey laws which they did not under- stand was among the mistakes that must ever smear the white man's rule in the North American con- tinent.
