i130,000 Extra Vote For Savage Harbour Channel

word has been received by The Guardian from Mr. Thomas Kick- ham, Ml. P. for K1n8's. that an Ed- djnonal 3130.000 for King's County has been included in the simple- meiilary estimates at Ottawa for new channel improvements at sav- i.gi.-- Harbour.

Alicr more than twenty-five tears of endeavor-ing to conquer the Zniirks of nature at Savage Harbour. ll. is believed by the Department of Public Works that dredging at the plcscllt time will give fishermen in that area a passage through the harbour which will stay open.

in l922 a group of fishermen ex- cavated. without any outside help, a channel near the West coast of the harbour. and finished it on a Satur- day. On the Sunday they took their basis through it but after a heavy wind that night found the next day they were once again able to walk on dry land where the channel had been.

Three years later the Department of Public Works started dredging a 9.200 foot channel near the Eastern side of the harbour and finished it In August. 1021. In October of that year another storm partially filled the new channel, and it was noted later that the channel was gradually working East at the other end.

ABADAN. Iran. June 2-&-(AP)- Iran threatened today to take "naval action" to stop the British tanker Dolabella which sailed with a cargo of Iranian oil but no action developed. the manager of Anglo-lranian Oil Company said.

Two Iranian soldiers prevented the departure of another tanker, British Empress, A.I.0.C. manager A. E. C. Drake told reporters.

These were the latest. develop- ments in a dispute over all no- tionalization which threatened to clog this big oil port with par- alyzed shipping and perhaps force a. shutdown of the billion-dollar A.I.0.C.'s huge refinery here.

Britain Friday asked the court to "indicate interim measures of protection of the rights of the Government of the United King- dom" in Iran.

Arms Arsenal For China

TOKYO. June 24 -(AP) --Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway said today he does not believe Rum. has any intention of supplying Chinese Communists the arms and equip. mont they would need to win the war in Korea.

The commander-in-chief of the United Nations forces in scores did not mention the Russians by name in si formal statement mark- ing the first anniversary of the war. He referred to Russia as the professed "friend and ally" of the Chinese.

Ridgway said Russia's supply of adequate arms "would build up in Communist china a military pow- er which could effectively prevent the domination and eventual ab- sorption of Manohurla by that 'friond and ally."'

"Surely the Chinese Communist leaders do not believe that their 'frlond' would permit this to hop-

The U. N. Supreme command . said the Chinese people must know by now of their lorrihie losses on the battlefield and which U. N. forces will continue to inflict. "so long as this ag- groulon is continued."

The general said the past year has seen "incaiculable progress to- ward tho reality of the collective responsibility of the free nations of the world for the collective preservation of their individual freedom."

He said that "we cannot permit this div to pass without renewed recognition" of tho U. N. Troops in the field and the U. N. mambo 3 who "fearlessly branded grossor" and mobilized to suppat
