War-Bought Unity Begins To Fade

(By Iona lllmro)

IDNDON. May 6-(0? Cable)- One year ago on May 8 the Allies in a tremendous, united effort achieved a mighty military triumph destroying Nazi Germany and bringing peace to devastated Eur-

ope.

The ensuing i3 months. how- ever. have proved it to be an un- settled peace-a peace which ha: seen alas-min divisions of inter- est and of p0 icies spring up, par- ticularly between Russia and the Western Allies.

The unity hammered out in the white heat of war gave way to wide differ-an in economic and political sober’ in Europe-where million: are nted by starva- tion er the threa of starvation.

It was one year a o Tuesday morning when CoL- en.

Jedi, chiefpl a ff of

army, at ill s. put his signs-

tiltl to the Allies unconditional

ing question of the four-power occupation of Germany, crushed as no other country had been in modern times.

The problem of Germany vs far from solved. There are many dif- ference: on control policy among Britain, the Halted States. Russia and France but-at least control machinery ha: been set up and n measure of Big Four co-operation achieved to run the Reich.

Europe ha: not. seen any out- break od minor wars and revolu- tion such a: followed the First Great War but there have been flashpofnts of trouble across the contln t which leave Europe far less easier now than a year ago when every Allied city and hamlet the world over dellrlousiy wel- comed Germany's collapse.

In every capital of Europe Gov- ernment leader: anxiously try to cope with the current itical and economic trouble: witch are a legacy of war and look to the ‘future with ominous concern.

Practically everywhere on the m“

Bracken—Clalms Production ls lllscourageil

OTTAWA. May 6 -— (OFF-OD- positlon members tonight criticiz- ed in the Commons the Govern- ment's price ceiling policy with respect to the agricultural industry and drew from Agriculture Mini:- ter Gardiner the statement; that no change in the ceilings would produce more products this year.

The debate arose after John Bracken. Progressive Conservative leader. asked in a reaolution that the House express the opinion that the_ Government's price ceilim polrcy was discouraging production and was putting an unfair bur- den on farmers in the maintenance of price stabilization policies.

Mr. Gardiner said 1t required "a great deal more’ than a resolution before the House to prove that 119011111118 farm Production was due to the policy. Whether or not there was increased production on Canadian farms this year would depend on the weather, how much molsturp was ln the ground and whether there was sufficient grass.

M. J. Coldwell, C. C. l". leader, said the Government's licy was wrong in that it allow the price of thmgs the farmer needed. to increase while the price of farm- ers’ products we: kept down.

Mr. Bracken’: motion tents. mount to e motion of non-confl- dence in the Government, was moved following the dinner nceal when the Speaker celled on the House to suspend the afternoon debate on the British loan and go into committee of supply.
