Will Suppori Bui Noi loin European Army , RARIS. 18 - (AP) - Win- ston Ciiurchill promised tonight that Britain will support and work with a European army "in all the stares or its political and military development"-but will not join it. The pronouncement immediate- ly posed 'the question wlieiher Civurchili's moral support without plbtlclpltion would be enough to restore the waning enthusiasm of some European countries for the one-uniform in-tornaiiional army. But the best sources said Churchill's visit. in preparation for his talks with President Tru- man in Washington next month, my have results that will lead to the actual merger of European forces, inciudiing German. in Weetom defence. 0 Churchill's position was stated in a. joint Anglo-French cam- munique after he had lunched with Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. stmngpadvooate of the” European army idea, and had two days of talks with Foreign Secretary An- thony Eden. French Premier Rene Pleven and Foreign Minister Ro- bert Schuman. Eisenhower was believed to have told Churchill that Britain should "come in or stay out" and ennnge in no half-way measures. Church-ill's reported answer was that Britain would stay out. but would make a statement promis- ing lull co-operation with any international army the Europeans may organize. CiiesmPrice Boosis Under Confederation OTTAWA. Dec. 18-(CP) - A Newfoundland member told the Commons today that Canada's newest province had particular reason to remember Confederation C. W.

The landed cost of the dry-cell battery increased only one cent from 46 1-2 cents to 41 1-2 cents. yet the retail price. because of price alntenance, jumped from 60 to N cents.

The Provincial ms ' GUARDIAN. (By The Canadian Press) Deaths and heavy property loss were caused by a number of seri- ous fires across Canada in the last two days. In most cases the fires were accompanied by biting cold weather and heavy snow which hampered efforts of fire fighters and added a further handicap to those burned out of their homes. A blaze d an e stiinated 8250.000 damage Tuesday when it destroyed a warehouse and whole- sale offlce of A.E. Hickman Com- pany, Ltd. in the west-coast New- foundland town of Corner Brook. The loss was originally estimated at 81,000,000. Lost: were 2,100 tires, 340.000 worth of bonded cigarets and 6.000 cases of beer. Cause was not known In Winnipes. two firemen were inaurcd. 28 persons were left home- less and damage unofficially estim- ated at nearly sl90,000 was caused in a series of fires. A two-alarm fire early Tuesday gutted the one-storey building of Saint John Motors Ltd. in saint John. N. B. Loss was estimated at between 3100.000 andVsi50,000. Many of the approximately lilo cars in the garage were destroyed. At Val D'Or. Que. fire destroyed the 8150.000 arena, opened last January. In Smiths Falls, 0nt., Albert Hunter. a semi-invalid, was suf- focated in his bed Monday night when fire swept a. grocery store on the floor below his bedroom. At West Flamboro, five miles north of Dundee. 0nt., two child- ren died following a fire that con- sumed the home of George Philp. Nooilia Sails Bank has also entered into the spirit of the Yuletide season with a trimmed Xmas tree, and in adult. ion to the wreaths in the windows of the Bank of Nova scotia, it is planned to place a. tree in the building this week.

Reserve Decision In liaies Case OTTAWA, Dec. 18 -(CP) -The 544,500,000-a-year application of the Canadian railways for a new freight-rate increase was taken under consideration today by the Board or Transport Commission- era. It reserved decision on the 10- per-ceni. rate-boost request after more than three weeks of battling between the railways and eight provinces-all except Ontario and Quebec-who fought the proposed increase. The railways closed out their case late today. urging on the five-man board that theylhad made out a case for a temporary five-per-cent, increase immediately and for another five per cent lat- er. The provincial governments con- cluded their argument yesterday. They argued that the railways had not proved any need for higher rates at this time. The rates were asked on the grounds of higher expenses for wages. increased costs of materials and the impact of the - "defence surcharge" of 2.0 per cent on car- poration taxes included in the last federal budget. On their application filed with the board almost a year ago. they got a 12-per-cent boost last July.

Deaths, Heavy Property Loss In Fires Yesterday Cl-IARLOTTETOWN Poiaio Warehouse Damaged By Fire The potato warehouse of Nor- rls Kitson. at Milton. caught fire yesterday Just fifteen minutes after the departure from the premises of an insurance agent. The agent had been trying to persuade Mr. Kitscn to take out further insurance on the ware- house and stock. He left: at mid- day and Mr. Kitson was notified of the outbreak at 12.15. Damage estimated at 32,000 was caused by the fire which is be- lieved to have been the result of excessive heat from a stove. Mr. Kltson stated last night that the loss is pretty well covered by in- aurance. Local residents fought the fire with snow while a call was put through to Charlottetown for as- sistance. They had the blaze un- der control when a pumper ar- rived from the City. Damage was confined to the roof and about 500 of the 3.000 bags of potatoes stored in the building. The undamaged stock was being loaded directly into reefer cars rushed there by the railroad in the afternoon and eve- nlus- V.-pppnw. DREW WARNS continued from page 1 combines commissioner, F.A. Mc- Gregor. as a witness. I-Ie acceded and Mr. McGregor proved to be the strongest supporter of the gov- crnment's proposal. A C.C.F. member during com- mittee hearing had argued that if labor unions had the right to set prices on their labor. manufact- urers should have the right to set prices on their goods. loans The Liberal Party. said Mr. Sin- clair. never considered labor as a commodity, like a bag of sugar. There was legislation coverlniz wage negotiations between the lab- orer and employer. They came to- gather face to face to agree on prices to be paid. But the consumer riuver had a chance under resale price maintenance: he hlld l0 DEV the price set by the manufacturer. Clashes With C-arson Mr. Fleming clashed with Mr. Cvarson when he asserted that the Jiistice Minister. a member of the committee, and Mr. Sinclair dis- pensed "rotten justice" by flam- niing" the legislation through the committee and preventing the op- posltion from hearing more wit- masses. The committee proceedings, said Mr. Fiemlnri. were a "sham and a travesty." Parliamentary proced- ures had been "wrcnched and dis- toiled." Mr. Garson reiorted that Mr. Fleming was making some "very serious" charges and requested that he withdraw the "libellous" accus- ation of "rotten justice." Mr. Fleming said he would and would substitute the term ”aro'ss and unseemly and unnardnnable.' He went on to say that Mr. Sin- clair. taking his instructions from the government through the Just- ice Minister. had nroceeded to use a "guillotine" on the committee. Mr. Garson interjected that any suggestion that he directed the committee what to do was iconi- rarv to the truth." Solon Low. Social Credit leader. expressed approval of the legisla- tion and suggested that parliament could repair any injustices devel- oping from it at its next session. He criticized the government for acting so late in the session to set up the committee which conduct- ed hearings on the legislation. He felt that four main facts em- erged from the committee deliber- ations: . on 1. The MacQuari'le committee which recommended the legis- lation did not accumulate stat- istical evidence tlsat consum- ers were being "harmed" by re- sale price maintenance. That committee seemed to have con- cerned itself more with the principle of the practice. 2. Trade associations appear- ing before the parliamentary committee argued that price- rualntained goods were cheaper. but did not produce statistical evidence to support that argu- ment. 3. The committee evidence led him to the inescapable conclu- sion that the principal purpose of price maintenance is to pro- tect the manufacturer. despite the contention of manufactur- ing spokesmanrlhat it protected the retailer. 4. He had concluded from the evidence that the prohib- ition of price .malntenance would not "unduly affect" the retailers. Mr. Low said he must conclude that under the price maintenance system the retailer is "at the mercy" of the manufacturer. No retailer must be subjected to a system of private law from which there was no appeal. support From Caldwell M. J. Coldwell. C. 01'. leader. served notice that he lntends' to introduce a motion for creation of an independent consumers' control board to regulate retail prlce-set- ting. But, if the chamber voted against his proposal,-he would support the main legislation: He suggested that the govern- ment give consideration to legisla- tion outlawing loss leaders as ii means to protect the independent retailer against the possibility of predatory price-cutting. The real inns in the legislation was. whether parliament was to continue to allow a code of priv- ate law through which manufact- r- race: it re oar s - . xi ...-..';i-5.-...w....3-E :3 prices and from which neither the retailer nor the consumer could appeal. The end result was that the con- sumer "foots the bill." E-.D. Fulton (PC -- Kamioopsi introduced the Progressive Con- servative motion that consideration of the bill be deferred for six months. which would have the ef- fect of killing it. He charged that the government was making a "scapegoat" out of the small retailer and that its whole approach has been to "raise great hopes i.i the minds of the public that they will do something to reduce living costs." "If this bill passes." he asserted, "it will be at the expense of the retail merchant who is being con- demned unheard." Soviet Union Unfolding Mighty cultural Offensive By WILLIAM L. RYAN (AP Foreign News Analyst) Hand in hand with the developing Communist "national front" and ”pr-ace" drives in Western Europe. the Soviet Union is unfolding what is growing into a mighty cultural offensive. It probably will reach its full force early in 1952. The offensive is being launched on many fronts: Science, the arts. trade. sports and so on. Its major goal is to alienate people in West- ern Europe from the United States. first by seeking to discredit every- thing Amerlcan. then to create sus- plcion of everything American. and finally. to sow subtly the seeds of hate. some recent developments: Sports: The Olympic Games at Oslo and Helsinki in 1952 may throw a little more light on this campaign. There is every indication the Soviet Union is going through with its an- nounced intention of participating. The idea seemed plain: Soviet com- pctltors must achieve glory at all costs. Science: The English-language magazine "News." newest external propaganda publication of Moscow devotes a long article. in duicet tones. to Sweden. and how the Swedes are being kept from enjoy- ing the benefits which might accrue from a knowledge of Soviet science. The arts: The Soviet Union is ex- porting many a blast for the ears of Western Europeans on the subject of American culture. Most run to the some pattern: That Europeans should resist the imnqrtaiinn of American films. books, music. drama and so on. because American art contaminates the European. Trade: "News" says that "On the waves of thc munitions and infla- tion boom, the United States is dtiftiniz toward the chaos and trag- edy of an unparalleled crisis of overproduction." This talk is in- tended to frighten Europeans into thinking they're betting on the wrong horse in this race. OAK RIDGE. Tenn.
