VITAL REGION

Mr. Pearkes. accepting the Ar- gus. said Canada's sea board is a vital defence region, ”because we are cognizant of the fact that the Russian navy now has is consid- erable number of submarines ca- pable of firing rockets or missiles from far out at sea.

'l'l'he modern submarine, nu- clear - powered. with vastly im- proved weapons. presents a thre not only to our ships at sea but also to our cities and industries located well inland."

He said this emphasizes the importance of the anti-submarine work of the Canadian navy and air force and the ”con.stant nec- essity of developing equipment and techniques that will provide effective counter-measures."

Text of his remarks was re- leased in advance for delivery.

Four planes have rolled off Canadair's production line. and three have completed their flight tests. The first two will remain at Canadair for further develop- ment work.

The Argus will replace the con- verted version of the wartime bomber Avm Lancaster. now used lby the RCAF for offshore pa- 1 trols.

Mr. Pcarkcs said in a press conference Argus has drawn the ttkeenest interest" from NATO countries. B r i t B i n and the United States were particularly interested.

Mr. Pearkes declined to dis- close the price of the present Ar- gus contract. "All I can any is that It costs is great deal of money." he said. "I give it a very high dcgree of priority for the defence of this country."

Labor Speakers

Flay UK

BRIGHTON. England (Reuters) Powerful trade union leaders told the Conservative government Monday it is "playing a den- gerous game”. if it hopes to break the unions by deliberately crest- ing unemployment.

They were speaking at the La- bor 'psrty's annual conference which opened here with 1,500 del- egates unanimously condernriw government economic policiu which have led to renewed finan- cial austerity here.

W. J. Carine, president of the Amalgamated Engineering Union. said the government has capito- lated to the demands of indus- trialists and flnancie . who want a measure of unemployment in order to break the unions.

"That is a dangerous game to play in 1957." he said. "We would advise the government that the trade unions have not the slightest intention of permitting such policies to be effected."

Holla Appears In Command Of Convention; Beck Blasted

MIAMI BEACH. Fla. IAPW - James R. Hofla's political foes complained of pressure tactics Monday night at the international Teamsters convention and lost an attempt to get AFL-C10 Pres- ident George Mcany to address the delegates. e

These developments came nit 68-year-old John F. English. the tesmsters' secretary - treasurer. blasted retiring president Dave Beck and other fellow Teamsters chiefs.

This came as the convention lenlailvely seated some 1.500 of the I929 delegates. Beck said those tentatively seated had cre- dentials legal on their face. but any of them still could be chal- lenged.

This meant that a precedent set last spring would be followed again. Then premier Guy Mallet. although eager to resign. was in- duced to remain and handle cur- rent business for several weeks until a new man could be found to form a government. That man was Bourges-Maunoury.
