Cockcroft. director of the atomic research centre -at Harwell. said Britain is "working seriously on the problem" and "my faith it the creative ability of the scientist is so great that I am sure that this will be achieved long before it is essential for man's needs."

He said it would be a mistake to expect the cost of nuclear power to be cheaper than coal during the next decade. but he added there was "good reason to believe that in the second decade the cost of nuclear power will fall below that

OTTAWA (CP)-A federal trade authority Friday dimmed hopes that Canada will ever regain the big cheese market she had in Britain in pre-war years. But he said that if quality remains high, exports could possibly rise to 12.- 000.000 or 15,000,000 pounds a year.

D. A. B. Marshall. Canada's commercial secretary in London. said Canadian cheddar producers would have to reduce their prices by at least 10 cents a pound to compete with New Zealand if they wanted to boost exports to Britain to the 1938 volume of some 75,- 000,000 pounds. V g

1 "Ar thisils manifestly impossible from the Canadian producers' point of view, Canada should aim at the marketing of a smaller quantity of a top quality product for which there is a potential mar- ket of somewhere between 12.000.- 000 and 15.000.00i) pounds." he said in a report appearing in the gov- ernment's foreign trade magazine. BIG DROP SINCE WAR

Canadian exports to Brltahs dropped to 4,200,000 pounds last year, down from 14,100,000. This

compared with a wartime high in

1945 of 131.10,000 pounds, or 40 per cent of Britain's total imports that year. Britain is the world's main cheese importer.
