Off The Ream-d

Mr. Attire opened the confer- ence with I! brief general state- ment, in which he reported that Britain and the United States are "very close” on objectives and

methods. He then ruled (hut his answers to ensuing questions must be strictly off the' record

and not for publication.

Mr. Attlee's press confer- ence was almost overshadowed by a statement to reporters Saturday night by Mr. St. Laurent that the information he has "is that the United Nations are not going to be driven out of'Korea."

Mr. St. Laurent. made that state- mcnt after Mr. Attlee. in a meeting I lasting an hour and 20 minutes. had briefed the Canadian cabinet on the broad background of his chats with Mr. Truman and presumably on British policy generally. Earlier. Mr. St. Laurent and Mr. Attlee had met privately for a half hour.

The Cabinet member told reporters this as he stepped from a rce-hour closed con- fexencg with senators consid- ering President Truman's re- quest for nearly 810.000.000.- 000 to strengthen the United siates' fighting forces.

Several of the senators. who had listened to grim reports from Marshall and army. navy and air force leaders. wanted to go beyond declaring a mt- ionai emergency to at least a start on "all-out mobilisation."

Most senators said the chief value of a presidential declar- ation of emergency now would be to put inc American public on full r.-slice.

Unless a diplomatic solution is found in the meantime. the ex- pectation here is that Canadian soldiers will be committed to the fighting possibly in late January. joining in what is shaping up as a grim winter cam-paign.

Shortage Of

By HAROLD MORRISON

OTTAWA, Dec. 10 - (OP) - With two sources of supply-Clhlna and Korea-already cut. off. Canada fares the grim prospects of war with a critical shortage of strategic materials.

The shortages are most apparent in such metals as cobalt. mangan- ese. tungsten and chromite. all es- sential in an expanding armaments program.

Government plans to overcome these shortages are not yet crystal- lized. If the need becomes desper- ate, ft is likely ccnslderatlon will be given to subsidizing mining of de- posits in Canada which normally are considered too poor for p.-om;. able extraction. Or Canada mny seek to share in the stockpiles be- ing built. up by the United States. with whom she had agreed to pool resources and skills.

But it is a question of wthether the United States has enough to go round.

Britain now wants to share in the us. stockpile and President Truman has agreed with Primr- Minister Attica that some of the U.S. stockpile should be made ai-
