Chinese Take Advantage

Of Chance For Complaints»

By JACK GEE

PI£lPI.\'G (Rcutcrst _ commu. nist China's month-old campaign of encouraging citizens to voice their daily complaints in posters is still going strong——with hardly a wall left uncovered.

Millions of posters have been pasted on walls of schools, hos- pitals, offices, factories and even private bedrooms, Despite the de. Mae and shortage of wall space, citizens are invited to produce more posters in the “rectifica- tino” campaign,

Complaints cover almost every facet of daily life from wife-bea.t- ing to food-hoarding and over-eat-

ing. EXPOSE INCOMPETENCE

The flood of posters all but con- ceals some buildings. Children ne- glect their homework to produce posters criticizing their teachers. In turn, the teachers go without

51999 d0iI1g posters to criticize fellow-teachers.

The rectification campaign be- gan last year with the aim of ex- D9Si}1g incornpetent officials and Critics of the Communist regime. In'the la.st mnot-h, it has been switched to grievances ot the average citizen in his daily life.

T-he idea is that the deluge of criticism will produce more ef. ficiency in stores, factories, hos- pitals, schools nad the home.

Many arrests have marked the campaign. Several Chinese em- ployees of Western embassies have been detained.

Easy Credits By Soviet To

By FORBES RHUDE Canadian Press Business Editor Communist economic programs, designed to win the support of less-developed countries, particu- larly in Asia and Africa, were outlined in considerable detail at Wednesday’s annual meeting in Montreal of the Canadian council of the International Chamber of Commerce. ; R._ C. Be-rkinshaw of Toronto, president of the council, stated in his address that these programs began in 1953 and by the end of 1957 Soviet bloc agreements to rovide assistance to less - de- yeloped countries totalled $1,900,- 600,000—an unspecified amount of which has been for military aid. ;‘‘Most of the bloc aid," Mr. Berkinshaw said, “has been of- gered in the form of easy credits, generally carrying an interest late of 21/2 per ‘cent per annum giiild payable over a 12-year per- o . :“That this economic offensive has been stepped up recently has een illustrated by a credit to yria in October of $170,000,000 and a more recent promise to Egypt. of $230,000,000 for eco- fiomic developmen .” ‘ SIX GET MOST ‘‘.*Of these credits. totalling $1,- })00,000,000, 95 per cent went to only six counti-ies—Afghanistan, Egypt, India, Indonesia,

‘Yemen and a few others.

2 Most of the credits, Mr. Berkin-

shaw continued, have been for in- flustrial projects.

3’ These credits are being granted by the Soviet bloc as a whole, in- scluding Soviet Russia proper, its gatellites and Red China.

.. Under technical assistance pro- grams, it is estimated that the

_ Syria and Yugoslavia. Other recipients were Cambodia, Ceylon, Nepal,

Are Offered ‘ Asia-Africa

Soviet bloc provided more than ‘2,000 technicians to 19 under-de- veloped countries during the first six months of 1957, with each working for one month or longer.

At the same time, during 1957 more than 2,000 persons from underdeveloped countries, includ- ing technicians, professionals and students, went to Soviet bloc coun- tries for special study.

DIRECT TRADE INVOLVED

A third phase of the Soviet eco- nomic offensive is tied more di- rectly to trade and again, the main target has been the less- developed countries, Mr. Berkin- shaw said.

From 1954 to 1956 the bloc’s trade with less developed coun- tries rose by 70 per cent.

In 1956, more -than 20 per cent of the total trade of Afghanistan, Iceland, Egypt, Yugoslavia and Burma was with bloc countries; as was 17 per cent of Turkey’s trade and 12 per cent of Iran’s.

“The Soviet bloc,” 'lt-Ir. Berkin- shaw said,‘ “has been able to en- courage much of this trade by of- fering markets to the products of under-developed countries when their normal markets in the free world fell off.

“This was the case in Ice- land’s fish marketing problem, in Burma’s ice export problem and also applied in the case of Egypt- ian cotton.

“The Soviet b1oc’s trade efforts by no means have been limited to under-developed countries.

“At present we know that So- viet Russia is in direct compet- ition on the Western European market both in aluminum and nickel, and trade .figures show an increasing amount of Russian as- bestos finding markets in West- ern Europe.” I

Steep Rock Mines Go On 4-Day ,Week

ATIKOKAN, Ont. (iCP)—St»eep Rock Iron Mines will work a four—day week, effective March 28, officials announced Monday.

They said the move results from reduced demand for iron ore in Canada .and the United States.

A company statement said “no early or substantial improve- ments” can be expected in con- ditions that last week saw the U.S. steel industry operating at 52 per cent _of capacity and iron ore stocks at the mills reach a record high.

A notice posted said:

‘‘It appears that steel plants are likely to operate at a low rate . . . the demand for new ore is likely to remain low for some time. , _

“Pending improvemgnt in busi- ness conditions we have no choice but to-meet the situation realis- tically . . ."

AFFECTS WHOLE STAFF

Mine vice-president‘ Neil . Ed- monstone said in an interview there are 800 persons employed at the mine, including‘ salaried office staff. All would be affected by the reduction.

The mine supplies ore to steel mills in Cleveland, Chicago, Pittsburgh and Hamilton, Ont. Last year it shipped 2,348,538 tons, second highest in its his- tory.

The mine laid off some 200 men last November and made a fur- ther staff cut of 125 men earlier this month. In both cases the company blamed reduced are de- mand.

The company signed a two- year agreement with the United Steelworkers of American (CLC) in July of last year which set minimum salaries for miners at $1.80 an hour.

LONDON (Reuters) — Prime Minister Macmillan Friday night warned that disillusionment after a “negative and unsaitisfa-.ctory" summit meeting might be fol- lowed by “something like de- pair."

Speaking to ‘the annual dinner of the Parliament Press Gallery at the House of Commons, Mac- mill-an said he wants summit talks but he wants any discus- sions with Soviet leaders ’to achieve “some real success.”

He said proper preparatory work must come first. “although the last thing we shall do is to make unnecessary difficulties.” He added:

“Our policy is and should be flexible on the means in the hope of attaining the end.

“we must not expect too much of such a meeting. To do so would be to court disa-pipointvmerit.

ANY ADVANCE, A GAIN

“I should be satisfied with a limited advance if it were clear and definite.”

Discussing the hydrogen bomb, Macmillan said there is “nothing to be gained by being half- hearted” about the deterrent pol- icy.

.“The preservation of peace de- pends on the determinaaion to deter, clearly and unamlbiguously stated.

“It also depends on efficient weapons and efficient means of delivery."

Macmillan said there are those who are prepared to use force but believe nuclear weapons so terrible and different in kind from convenaional armaments that they ,must be renounced as in-

Cancer Society Presents Its 1957 Statement A

The Canadian Cancer Society collected a total of $2,127,113 dur- ing 1957 for its cancer control programme, according to the au- dited financial statement for the nine months from January 1, 1957 to September 30th, released by the Society’s national office today.

‘The report showed that the So- °19tY’S blggesl Single payment for the period was to the National Cancer Institute of Canada for $553,136. These funds were used to pay grants in aid to soin research projects going forward in Canada and fellowships to those taking research or clinical training.

EDUCATION

On the cancer education pro- gramme, conducted by volunteers in some 800 local units, the ' Sal expenditure for the nine-month period was $304,805. The major portion was spent on pamphlets, booklets, films, cancer informa- tion centres, radio and television messages, and other media de- signed to encourage persons with cancer symptoms to seek early diagnosis and treatment.

The Society’s welfare program- me, also conducted by volunteers in the local units, required the expenditure of $358,821. This in- cludes the supplying of free can- cer dressings, boarding-home care and housekeeping services, visit- ing nurses, sick-room supplies, transportation of patients, and other services.

ONLY APPEAL

The Society has no funds other than thiose reported in its fin- ancial statement and the auditors have certified that the major por- tion of those funds will be expend-

ed on programme prior to the April Campaign. The statement reveals the Society’s complete de- pendence on the success of its appeal to carry on and expand the attack on cancer.

The 1958 objective has been set at $2,484,000. It represents the to- tal forecast requirements of all divisions to carry on their pro- grammes between May 1, 1958 and April 30, 1959 and meet their assessments for national re- search programme. An appeal will be made to the public next month through the medium of the provincial division and units of the Society.

Production Of Crude Petroleum Shows Decline

OTTAWA (CvP)—Canadian pro- duction of crude petroleum in De- cember showed : sharp 20-pen cent drop to 13,374,644 barrels from 16,661,971 barrels in the cor- responding month in 1956, the bur- eau of statistics said Thursday.

However, larger output than a year earlier in the first seven months of 1957 more than offset

lower production in the last five i

months. As a result total 1957 pro- duction rose 5.7 per cent to a nec- ord 181,845,637 ‘ barrels, up from 171,981,413 barrels in 1956.

The oil production figures refer to a period prior to the imposi- tion by the United States of vol- untary restrictions against oil im- ports, including those from Can- ada. The restrictions, announced Dec. 24. have had no immediate effect on Canadian oil shipments to the U.S. *

All production areas except Al- berta and the Northwest Territor-

tliaii in the preceding year, A]. beita s output declined to 137,492,- 316 barrels from 143,909,641 while production in the Northwest Ter- ritories eased to 420,844 barrels from 449,409.

Totals for other areas with the 1956 figure in brackets: New Brunswick 19,401 barrels (16,628); Ontario 621,747 (593,370); Mani. toba 6,089,295 (5,786,540); Saskat. chewan 36,861,089 (21,077,371); and British Columbia 340,945 (148,454).

Heart Stopped For 55 M.inutes

MONTREAL (C-P) Louis Burns, 25, foxirnenly of Frederic- ton, is progressing satisfactorily in hospital here following an op- eration during which his heart sti ‘ped 55 minutes. ’

The eight — hour operation was performed Tuesday at the Royal Victoria Hospital. The heart’s mitral valve ‘had developed a “leak” following a bout with rheumatic fever and doctors had said his life expectancy was three months.

The heart‘: duties were taken over during the operation by Q heart-lung pump of A new type. developed at McGill University here. It was the first time it had been used in I human.

It enables surgeons to work on a dry heart and at a ‘anger pe- riod of time than was previously available.

The pump needed a large sup- ply of fresh blood and 30 donors were available during the ogcrai

tion, giving their blood as re- quired.
