The issue than may be (By George Kitchen) OTTAWA, Oct. 7--(CP)—Oppon- ents of the margarine ban argued before the Supreme Court of Can- ada today that the Provinces should have the say on whether the buiter substitute should be prohibited from Canadian dinner tables. L. E. Beaulieu. K. C., represent- ing the Province of Quebec, said there can be rio doubt the manu- facture and sale of margaix-ie should come under provincial jur- isdiction because it comes within the scope of property and civil rights, a field in which the Prov- inces are supreme. J. M. Nadeau, K. C., appearing for L'Association Canodienne des Electrices of Montreal, held that the 62-year-old ban is equivalent to a. "restraint of trade" against a lawful article of commerce which comes under the Provinces. It was aimed at giving butter a commer- cial advantage. Senator Salter A. Hayden, K. C., representing i1 group opposed to the prohibition, termed margarine "a product of agriculture and an article of trade" which rightly should come within provincial com- petence. It was a product of agri- culture because it was made from wegetable oils. They were attacking the validity of legislation adopted _by Parlia- ment in 1886 to prohibit the impor- tation, manufacture and sale of margarine in Canada. The question of whether or not the ban is con- stitutional hiis been referred to the court by the Federal Government at the request of the Senate. The three-day hearing is expect- ed to end tomorrow, with Margaret Kyndman. K. C., of Toronto ap- pearing for the Canadian Associa- tion of Consumers. Judgment is ex- pected next week.

Vishinsky concentrated his fire in the arms debate on Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin and Bel- gian Premier Paul Henri Speak. He said Lenin was the first to pro- pose disarmament and he said Bevin and Spank opposed it and aided forces trying to overthrow Soviet Russia. Vishinsky spoke of the abortive dls-imament conferences of the ICMs and said each was brought to naught by Western insistence on "security first". He said that now 20 years later Bevin has gone back to the old "security first" theme. McNeil denied that Bevin had favored intervention in Russia against the. Bolshevistr. He said, however, that many people have changed their minds about things they said 20 years ago. He added that Lenin raid many things which present Soviet leaders deny al- though the writings of Lenin are not denied. Aged Man And Cirl Found in Gas-filled llcusa ‘Montreal Police Find $15,684 in Strong Box, Cans. MONTREAL, Oct. l5-Myetery shrouded the finding of $15,684 today in a Central Fullum Street house where an aged man and a young girl were found onscious after having been overcome from escaping gas. ‘rho victims.

Royal Air Force bombers droned out from England tonight ind dumped 17 1-2 tons of live bombs on the North Sea island of I-Iellgo- land in the R. A. Fla molt realistic war exercises aince last spring. About 50 planes attacked Hitler's one-time U-boat base. The Russians warned that they planned extensive gunnery and parachute jumping as well as for- mation flylng in the Berlin area. Air officers of the Western Pow- ers sald the increasingly-frequent Soviet warnings of air activity are inftended to harass the Allied air i t. Actually there were only two re- ports of the Russians carrying out their activity. One American pilot said he nearly collided with one of three Russian transport planes as he approached for a landing in the British sector. A British pilot reported that he saw a Soviet bomber drop explosives in the Sc- vlet zone near Berlin. Asked what he thought about the Soviet tactics, Gen. Lucius Clay grinned and said: "Who is being harassed?" The American Military Governor then said Berliners fed by the air lift may get an increased food ra- tion this winter. In his most optimistic declar- ation about the sir lift, Clay told a press conference the Western Allies plan to grant a "small in- crease” socri. He added that if the present good weather continues. every German will have some coal 00. Clay also said the West has an “economic counter blockade" under way as a retort to the Russian move. He said he "hopes it has had an effect." Today's air-lift figures were 4.203 tons of supplies unloaded in Ber- lin by 440 flights. SEES SOVIET (Continued from Page 1) new defence weapons in Canada. Mr_ Claxion said: “ The Soviets‘ manifest in- tention to carry on the aggressive promotion of Communism every- whero, by e11 means short of im- mediate war has challenged every sensible people who want to stay free to look to their defences. ' “Canada, like the United States. is vitally interested that like- minded nations p o e l their strengths as the best vway to pre- vent and. if necessary, to stop ag- gression." The Defence Minister believed that. "as Western Union becomes stronger, any chance that there might be of the Soviet Union win- ning an aggressive wai- will be- come less." However, he pointed out that the Soviet Union "has pressed her efforts to drive the United States, Brltalln and France out of Ber- lin." “It is this effort and the wil- lingness to run the risks which it involves that has added tension to the present situation," Mr. Claxton said. "I don't believe that the Rus- sian people or even the Soviet leaders want war today; but their istransigent attitude has increased its possibility." - Even it the situation in Berlin should improve. there will be other points of tension. This will continue on, said the Minister. "until the Russians begin to seek the welfare of their people rather than the extension of their pow- er." Not Inevitable I “War is not inevitable -— of course it isn't —— but neither is peace inevitable. Until the chances of peace improve, we have got to prepare to defend ourselves." On procurement, Mr. Ciaxton disclosed that schedules of what the Navy, the Army and the Air Force will necd in the first year of on emergency already have been drown up. “These schedules have been pre- pared in complete detail down to the number of every article of every typo of equipment and spare part." “Planning can't be done in a vacuum and planning which is un- realistic is dangerous." he said. "We decided that what was need- cd was first of all an indication of the size and composition of the forces that. would be employed during the first year after the out- break of war or after the start of a full all-out effort after a state of emergency had been declared." Plans in Detail The schedules drawn up show that the total number of items re- quired during the first year of an emergency will be 171,381,981. not including spare parts. "Of these we have on issue or in mobilization stores all but 62,045.- 595 . . ." As to stockpiling of strategic materials in short supply, the Min- ister said: ". . . Canada is one of the most fortunate countries as we have a surplus of a great many strategic materials and are in fact tho larg- est exporters of nickel, asbestos and base metals. There is a rela- tively small number of materials of which we would be short." These items in short supply would include chrome, manganese. tin, antimony, quartz crystals and possibly others. . "Rubber is another material of crucial importance." disclosed Mr. Clarion. "While the Crown com- pany. Polymer Limited, produces artificial rubber. we should need natural rubber and the Industrial Defence Board is advising on a Concludes Visit With Reception & Trip To ilustlco The French ‘Ambassador.

Steel Most Important Steel. was the most lmpwlani single factor governing the Mani of Canada's def preparedness and war potential, the Dominion? Was- Minister declared. "Can-Mia, like every other naizion. is short of steel." said the Miniat- er. "Where during the six years o! war, the United States increased!!! steel production by 70 per contend the United Kingdom just; about held her own, Canada her production by 97 per cent. "Yet in peacetime our own pro- duction is still perhaps b0 per cent short of what we need. To make steel needs coal. iron ore and the plant which itself would take o. large. amount of steel. "The steel needed to build tho Arctic ice breaker for the my‘! or other weapons of war must aub- Ject our supply to even great! strain." "The situation is such that at- ious consideration must be given to the question of building addfl- tonal capacity. with the- develop- ment of theoliuntry wroari "look forward to it if there is no war. A reasonable expansion of steel pro- duction would be in the inferelii of the country for peacetime as well as defence purposes." increased About Manpower What about trained marspowf! "The three services have schedules of the kinds of skills-the number of a ditiorial carpenter-o. mechanics an wireless operators- that would be requiretLJ.’ ‘ On standardization of mafnla! between Canada. the United sum and Britain, Mr. Claxtori said: "Nothing is being left undone to press forward work in this field."

The answer no gave pointed out that Canada's major development project at pre- alit is the product-ion of a 1on8- range two-sector twin jet- engine plane by A. V. Roe Limited of Toronto. "Further work may be done in electronics and various types equipment, particularly related t0 the Far North. However. W0 d" not propose t0 duplicate every- thing being done in other coun- tries." "Everything we do today has three phases of development in consideration: "To meet urgent. immediate needs; "To meet an emergency should it arise in the near future; “To fit into part of the overall long-term plan." Mr. Claxton suggested industry may co-operate in the industrial defence organization in the fol- lowing ways: 1. Help the Industrial Board in planning requirements; 2. Consider dispersion in location of new industry; 3. Take into consideration the possible necessity for expansion and assembly-line procedure in planning production; 4. Report probable shortages of skills, machinery or materials; 5. Assist in training men to meet greatly expanded needs; 6. Encourage recruiting: 7. Keep abreast. of defence dc- velopments; changing industrial plan whereby sufficient closes oi designs and practices.
