Garson Suggests Strike Settlement

A new outline of possible Dom- lnlon-scale conciliation in the pack- lnghouse workers‘ strike came from Premier Carson of Manitoba as the complete tie-up of all major Canadian meat plants went into its sixth day.

He said yesterday in Winnipeg that a "number of provincial gov- ernments are prepared to agree to the appointment of a common con- clliator or conciliation board" pro- viding the governments concerned received "firm assurance that the men will resume work pending the outcome of the conciliation pro- ceedings."

T urns_ilown A Marshall's ii. ii._Pian

NEW YORK. 8917i. 1B - (AP) —- Andrel Y. Vishlnsky, Russian dep- uty iorelgn minister. cried “war- monger" today at leading Ameri- cans and turned down the new Marshall plan for remodelling the United Nations.

In a speech lasting one hour and 33 minutes. the chief Russian del- egate pssailed the entire range of U.S. foreign policy.

He told a packed and expectant U.N. Assembly hall that the Mar- shall plan is an “ill-conceived scheme to substitute and by-paas the Security Council."

Vishinsky also delivered a per- sonal assault on a member of the United States delegation, John Foster Dulles. This is the first tme personalities have entered a. U.N. debate at this session.

He called Dulles and other Am- ericans "war-mongers."

Canada's chief delegate, Louis St. Laurent, earlier in the day de- clared that peace-loving member countries of the U.N. might form separate organizations for collect- ive sec-urity rather than accept in- definitely a Security Council "fro- zen in futility and divided by dis- sension."

Visliinsky made these other con- tentions:

i. The Truman doctrine laid down last March was the first break by the United States from the unanimity of the great powers in the U.N.

2. The Marshall economic plan for Europe was merely an ex- tension of the Truman doctrine to cover all Europe.

3. The United states and B lt- alnare responsible»: liflJ-l! .

sin setting up? atomie-zenergyi controls. '_ . _, 1 ‘

4. Russia will stand firmly against any attempts to disrupt the unanimity o: the great powers — the veto right.

5. Official and private circles in the United Stateg are hurl- ing unfounded charges of war preparations against Russia. Vishinskys long pronouncnnent

cracked solidly against every key facet of American foreign poli:v.. It was the first break in a steady parade today of statements gm- erally endorsing the Marshall plan for the U.N., with one or two res- servatlons.

Vishlnsky declared that Dulles i-n a. speech in Chicago on Feb. i0. 1947. urged a “tough foreign policy against- the Soviet Union."

Dulles issued the following state- ment after vishinsky spoke;

“I did nit make the statement which Mr. Visfllnsky attributed to me. l have repeatedly said and I say again that another war need not be and must not be: and I have dedicated myself to that end." The Assembly animal-nod at 5:05 P.M. (EDT) until 11 A.M. tomor- row. when it will continue the gen-
