Says Nfld. Ccinnioi Quit Confederation

ST. JOHN'S. Nfld. (CP) - Im- migration Minister Pickersgill told a Memorial University audience. Thursday night that Newfoundland annot leave Confederation as Premier Smallwood has threat- ened.

"It is not legally possible." he said. "This is an lndissoluable marriage. It could.be broken up only by revolution."

He said the premier had not actually threatened to lead New- foundland out but had said merely that under special conditions which he did- not expect to develop he would lead Newfoundland out of Confederation.

"It attacks the very roots of our fegiteral system." Mr. Pickersgill sa .

He said the present generation of Newfoundlanders was going through a new political experience. "Some will think the central gov- ernment ls too strong, some that it is' not strong enough. This is a practical question on which all of you will have to make up your minds every so often for the rest of your lives."

Quebec Budget forecasts New lievenue High '

QUEBEC iCP)- Unprecedented provincial revenue of 3389.-168.000 for the current fiscal year ending March 31 was iorccast in the Que- bec budget speech Friday by F1. nance Minister Gagnon.

On the basis of nine months' actual operation, Mr. Gagnon said revenue will exceed by S57.610.&)0 the estimate he made last year, leaving a tidy 575.000 ave.-.311 sur- plus. the first since the 1951-52 fis- cal year.

For the new fiscal year starting April 1 Mr. Gagnon estimated revenues will reach t374.266.500-- the highest revenue figure he has ventured to predict for a 12-month period.

Compared with planned expend- itures for the coming year which Mr. Gagnon announced early in January. totalling 537-1.101.427. the forecast 1956-57 revenue would be high enough to leave an over-all surplus of 8165.173 March 31, 1957.

The optimistic 14,000 - word budget. read by Mr. Gagnon in the legislative assembly where Union Nntionale government mem- bers manifested -approval with vigorous desk-thumping. contained other important news for Quebec.

MEND RELATIONS

1. Federal - provincial taxation ills are on the mend and the Que- bec government plans to study the federal government's latest pro- posals "in a spirit imbued by the desire of enabling our province to play its true role and the nation to fulfill its world mission."

2. The current budget is the last before a provincial election. gen- erally expeci ” this summer.

3. The possibility of the estab- lishment of steel mills in Quebec province as a result of the great iron ore mining developments "will soon become a reality." Mr. Gagnon did not elaborate.

Soaring ordinary expenditures are expected to reach a record- level 3277.985.000 at the end of next

Negotiations between Hon. Doug- aid MacKinnon. Minister of Indust- ry and Natural Resources, and C. N. R. headquarters officials at Moncton regarding the rate on herring between West Prince and the fishmeal processing plant at Souris, reached a satisfactory con- clusion yesterday.

It is understood that the neces- sary improvements and expansion at the Souris plant will be com- menced promptly in order that full advantage of the situation may be taken by the fishermen in the early spring. The demand for fish- meal creates a ready market for considerably more of the commod- ity that has been available hereto- fare.

The fact that there were 49 more refrigerator cars shipped from the Island Division during the month of January this year than for the same month in 1955 was pointed out yesterday by Mr. George Greenough. Superintendent of the Canadian National Railway who said, "Everything humanly pos- slble ls being done to see that a sufficient number of cars w reach the Province".

He said that he and his staff have been working tirelessly to en- sure that the demand for cars will be met and shop workers have been exerting every effort to put back into circulation any cars that may be out of service.

The Superintendent reported that an average of 40 refrigerator cars per day are arriving in the Pro- Vince. and about the same number leaving with potatoes. He stated that the local office has lmowledge of 162 cars which will arrive here from outside points within a day

It is noted by Mr. Greenough that the refrigerator car situation lsgerieral throughout the continent but the shortage has been further aggrivated by the recent sleet storm which brought the railway communication system to a stand-

LONDON (AP) - New blasts from Siberia headed for Europe Friday night to prolong the great freeze that already has claimed more than 100 lives.

Weathermen warned of the new threat just as the icebound con- tinent expected relief in its worst winter of the 20th century.

From behind the Iron Curtain came hints of a disastrous fuel shortage. P 0 l n n d's Communist government c alled immediate talks on saving coal and ordered bonuses to boost output from the mines.

Frigid gales scattered all shipping around the continent and even paralyzed the Mediterranean port of Marseille.

Temperatures in most countries rose slightly during the day but seldom got above freezing. The lowest overnight temperature was at Ulrichen. Switzerland-33 below zero.

At least 102 persons are known dead from cold, fire or storm since the cold) wave started five days ago. France counted 30 dead. Brit- ain 19. Germany and the Saar 10, Turkey 10, Italy 10. Denmark 9. Austria 4, Holland 4, Switzerland 3. Yugoslavia 2. and Bclglum 1.

Paris had its coldest Feb. 2 in 75 years when the temperature dropped to 5 above zero.

In Britain especially plumbers were unable to keep up with the demands for repairs to weather- shatiered pipes. in some parts of London electricity was cut off to conserve power.

0'1'l'AWA (CP)-It will be years before the 49,000-man Canadian Army is fully equipped with its new rifle, the .300-calibre auto- matic " lgian FN (Fabrlque Na- tionale).

Officials said Friday Canadian Arsenals Ltd.. still is tooling up for FN production and new rifles probably won't start coming off the assembly line before the end of June.

Canadian Arsenals plans to pro- duce at a rate of about 2.000 rifles a month unless there is an emer- gency. in which case production could be increased considerably. One official said FN production is not a big project compared with other defence plans and expend- itures.
