"During the course of the host- ilities in Korea." Joy told the Reds Monday. "both the Democratic People's Republic of Korea and the People's Republic oi China have repeatedly insisted that the Chinese units engaged in the host- ilities are volunteers and that their sudden appearance in Korea was completely unrelated to any offic- ial action on the part of their poi- itical authorities. "Clearly, the People's Republic of China would not qualify (for a peace conference seat) under your own criterion."

The Department said selective service will be asked to induct 305 doctors of dentistry in April. ' OTTAWA. Feb. 11 - (C?) Graham F. Towers. governor of the Bank of Canada, indicated today the rate of personal saving will be among factors determining the trend of prices this year. He said it is difficult to predict what will happen to prices this year. It will depend on the rate of personal savings, the effect of in- creased 'defence expenditures in North America and whether any "frightening" developments occur in the international field. Mr. Towers held a press confer- ence to answer questions on his 1951 report of the bank's opera- tions, which contained a. descrip- tion of economic trends from the outbreak of the war in Korea in June, 1950, but gave no predictions. He said an encouraging feature of the fight against inflation was the way in which personal savings increased during the last six months of last year. Another was that there was no increase in the wholesale price level in the last six months, despite substantial in- creases in defence expenditures and capital investment. ' Without giving the figures in dollars, the report said it was es- timated that new capital invest- ment expenditlrres in Canada dur- mg 1951 were 22 per cent higher in value than in 1950 and perhaps nine per cent greater in physical mludge 1..

This investment would mean greater production facilities will be available this year, said Mr. Tow- CPS. Reviewing the situation, the re- port said that when the war broke out in Korea there was a general fear that a shortage of goods and services would result. A wave of buying and production was set in motion. Prices and production costs climbed and the trend was reflect- ed in the prices of imports and ex- ports. The wave did not slacken until March, 1951. "In general, the failure of any serious physical shortages to de- velop as soon as had been anticip- ated introduced enough doubt about the future to slow down buy- ing." said the report. "sharp increases in certain prices tended both to encourage a larger flow of supplies and to discourage some demands. Impairment of liq- uid asset posltions and larger out- standing debt obligations tended to revive public interest in a high- er level of saving." (The Bureau of Statistics report- ed last week that personal savings had climbed to 51.781.000.000 from :820.000,000 in 1050).

Mr. Lcard, who lives near the mill, was first to arrive at the scene of the fire, and although everything had been in good order when he left the mill a short time before. the whole mill was hopelessly ablaze with the fire making rapid headway in the tin- der dry wooden building. By the time the fire depart- ments from the two villages had arrived the second and larger building comprising the mill, was also on fire. and it is understood that when the fire departments got into action they were able to check the flames, but not before the smaller building was entirely consumed and the larger one so badly gutted by fire that only the frame remains.

STEINKOPP LONDON, Feb. 11 - (AP)--Three sad Queens and millions of humbler Britons mourned on this dismal rainy day as the body of King George VI was brought back to London to lie in state for three days in ancient Westminster Hall. Sovereign Elizabeth II. the Queen Mother and 84-year-old Queen Mary struggled with emotion as they stood in the middle of the brightly-llgliied hall while the Archbishop of York conducted a 16-minute service. Britain's young ruler gripped a handkerchief tightly in her gloved hand. The Queen Mother's face was impaslve. Queen Mary, who has seen a great deal of sorrow in her long life, was her stalwart self. standing in front of Westminster Hall when a gun carriage arrived with the body of her son. she brushed aside her long veil and watched the solemn ceremonial procedure intently. Then the youngest Queen. just 25. followed the coffin into the medieval hall. Because she now is sovereign, her mother and grand- mother followed her. Queens stand Silent They stood throughout the short ceremony in the presence of both Houses of Parliament. There was no trembling or flickering of the tip to betray their feelings while the choir in red and white gowns sane the hymn "Abide With Me." The King's coffin, brought by train from Sandringham. where the King died last Wednesday, was drawn atop a gun carriage alomz the three miles from the King's Cross Station to Westminster. Mourning subjects stood silently as the flag-draped coffin, imper- ial crown gllstening atop. made its slow progress alone chill and rain- drcnched streets. Some had waited all night to get a good view of the cortege. Windows all along the route were crowded. Many had been en- gaged by foresighted rental agen- cies and leased out at high prica. Six bay horses of the Royal Horse Artillery pulled the gun carriage past the subjects who have desig- nated their late monarch "George the Good." Private Service Earlier in the day. Queen Eliza- beth and her family attended a private funeral service at the little lilth century church of St. Mary Magdalene on the King's sand- rirlgham estate in Norfolk. The body of the 56-year-old sovereign had lain in the simple church until this morning to permit his neigh- bors and workers to pa; their last tribute.

Feb. 11 -(AP) -The Rootes group. one of Britainls largest car manufacturers. today announced an increase in prices because of rising labor and mater- ial costs. The hikes ranged from 220 for the I-Iillman Minx to 950 for the Pullman limousine and Imperial saloon. Former prices of these cars were 2470 and 521600 respectively. An official of Rootos Motors (Canada), producers of the Hill- man, said today it was unlikely that the increased price in Brit- ain would be reflected immediately in Canada. Present price of lliiiman Minx delivered in Toronto is sl.875. The last price change occurred in July when the cost. dropped S100. OTTAWA. Feb. ll -(OPl- Immigration Minister Harris has ordered deportation of about a dozen Italians who entered Can- ada through a false-passport rac- ket. otiiclals said today. The immigrants were among a large number-reported 'lo run into hundreds-brought into Can- ada by a passport ring that has been under investigation by the R.C.M.P. for several months. Members of the group under the deportation order are reported to have been taken from the Tar- onto and Montreal .areas where they settled after their illegal or- rival. Their return to Italy was order- ed originaliy by a departmental board of inquiry. They appealed that order to Mr. Harris, who turned down the appeal. The de- porteea still could take a further appeal to the courts. Italians Rounded Up In Fake Passport Ring Existence of the ring, in which a few immigration officials in Europe and Canada are said to have been involved. has been un- der way since last (all. No Can- adians have been arrested. A few immigration officials have been forced out of the sovemment service it was learned.
