Premier A. W. Matlheson will unveil a pla- que, “commemoratin-g the con- otructlon of the first agricultural freezing plant on Prince Edward Island". Hon. Eugene Cullen, Minister of Algrloulture will preside at the opening. The keys to the new plant will be handed to W. H. Heeney by Norman MacLeod on behalf of the contractors, M. F. Schurman Ltd. Mr. Heeney, pre- sident of Heeney Frosted Foods, Ltd., LaPrairie, P.Q., will oper- ate the plant which is expected to get into production during the first week of July. Their first crop will be straw- berries to be followed shortly thereafter by peas and stringed beans. Other crops will follow in the order of maturity. GOV”! COOPERATION The Government of Prince Ed- ward Island, thrmugh the Indus- trial Development Board has co- operated in seeing the processing plant constructed after some years of planning for the project. They also co-operated through the department of Agriculture in making field tests of the crops which be processed at the plant. Mr. Heeney yesterday was beaming with satisfaction as he spoke of the new plant. He said it would fill an important gap in the agricultural economy of the province by providing for diver- sified cash crops. “Now the farmer instead of seeding his potato land out can plant it with vegetables for which there is always a sure market without * any element of speculation." He felt that this divensified form of farming could well equal or sur- pass the potato industry in im- portance. FUTURE POTENTIAL In regard to the future poten- tial of the plant, Mr. Heeney said “It is unlimited”. The success of the venture depends he said, “on the ability of the farmers to produce these crops on a competitive basis with other parts of the country.” In this regard he felt there would be no particular difficulty, noting that the farmers with whom he had conversed “have a higher mental rating than in other parts of the country”. He could see no reason why the plant should not succeed, “in ‘De Gaulle Hopes To Visit Canada PARIS (Reuters) — Premier Charles de Gaulle, in‘ a message to Prime Minister Dicfenbaker published Tuesday, said he hopes soon to have time to visit Can- ada. Replying to. a message from Diefenfbalker, de Gaulle said: “I was very moved by the mes- Iazge you sent me.

PROTECTION REQUIRED Mr. Heeney said one thing that will be needed to confirm the successful operation of the plant willsbe “a measure of assurance from the Fedenal Government that will enable us to maintain our economic standards by en- joying protection from products produced in-the United States at lower cos .” The construction of the plant was started in May 1957. Situa- ted at Sherwood, a short dist- ance from the Bracidey Point Road, it is fully equipped for automatic operation. From the time the products arrive at the plant until they are fully frozen takes about one hour. A new type of plate freez- er, the largest of its kind will handle three tons an hour. This means, Mr. Heeney said that all products picked during the day are fully processed on the same Russians ' MOSCOW (IAIP) —- The Soviet Union charged Tuesday night that the West plans to move troops into Lebanon “under the guise of the United Nations or without any cover at all." The Soviet views were in a statement circulated by the official T-ass agency. The statement declared Russia cannot ignore such preparations. It mainly accused the United States and Britain in the charge that anmed intervention is plan- ned. . “For this purpose," Tass said, “it is proposed to turn the UN observers who are being sent to Lebanon into a police force. “The number of observers are to be increased. Thus, dangerous plans are being hatched for an armed foreign intervention in the domestic affairs of Lebanon.” It said any attempt to inter- vene in Lebanon would violate the principles of the UN and se- riously aggravate the interna- tional situation. The agency‘ declared UIN ob- servers assigned to Lebanon must not carry out functions other than those provided for by decisions of the Security Council. N0 RIGHT TO INTERFERE “They cannot intenfere and have no right to interfere in the internal affairs of the country day. About 50 people will be requir- ed to operate the plant normally but at peak seasons the number may go as high as 100. EXTENSIVE TESTS For the past four years tests have been carried out to deter- mine with what success various types of vegetables can be grown. Mr. Heeney said he was satisfied that vegetables of an- exceptionally high quality can be grown in considerably larger quantities than elsewhere in Can- ada. He also noted that the cli- mate here is particularly well suited for this type of farming. Looking to the future, Mr. Heeney predicted that it would perhaps take a year to get all the diffic-ulties ironed out but stated. “next year we shall real- ly be rolling”. He said it would have to be a three way coopera- tive effort between the firm, the farmers and the government who will provide technical ad- vice to producers. Give West Warning and it-s people," Tass added. UN Secretary - General Dag I-lammarskjold has emphasized that under the Security Council's June .111 resolution the UN per- sonnel posted in Lebanon are em- powered only to observe and re- port their observations to the council. The Soviet Union withheld its veto and abstained in the vote on the molution. Any further UIN effort in Lebanon’ would require new action in the Security Coun- ci1—-sulbject to Soviet veto-—-or in the General Assembly, where majority decisions may not be vetoed but may be rejected by Moscow. T-ass called the Japanese re- bels the people of the country “who are fighting for their ide- ece agaist the interference of pendence against the interfer- ence against the interference of the colonialists." It declared that plans for armed interference in the coun- try have aroused indignation not only in Lebanon and other Mid- dle East countries but in many other nations in the East and West. “This is understandable," Tass said, “since foreign armed inter- vention would be a challenge not only to the Lebanese people .. . but to forces of peace throughout the would."

VANCOUVER (CIP) -— A small battalion of men continued Tues- day to fight a burgeoning forest fire in northern British Columbia that has covered 82,000 acres near the B.C.-Yukon border.

Mr. Keough felt that the de- velopment of such a project need not compete with any shipping port now in the Maritimes. He said the trend is toward larger ocean going vessels which he be- lieved would not be interested in making the slow cruise up the St. Lawrence waterway.

Are Am OTTAWA (CP) — Government agricultural policies came under Commons c r i t ic i s m Tues- day from a New Brunswick Lib- eral and an Alberta Progressive Conservative. The Liberal, Herve J. Michaud of Kent, N.B., said the June 17 budget was a “Protectionist” one in which the Canadian farmer “is certainly the forgotten man.” “All it means for the farmer is higher prices due to protection- ist policies,” he said in the bud- get debate. There was no action to curb rising production costs and no plan to provide 1ow-inter- est credit to farmers. “Is this the completely new deal farmers have been prom- ised?" he asked. Harris Rogers (PC—Red Deer) was not as strongly critical, But he said the Conservative govern- ment’s policies of cash advances on farm-stored prairie grain and of new price supports are “not enough.” WORST PERIOD “Algricu-It-ure is experiencing one of its worst periods in his- tory,” said Mr. Rogers, a former Veterans Land Act supervisor. W h e a t growers, producing wheat at below production cost, should have deficiency payments. And unless dairy farmers were subsidized they would be in se- rious trouble. Farm credit, pref- enalbly supervised by Veterans Land Act agents, should provide a minimum $20,000 to help young farmers establish new farm-s or take over their fathers’ farms. Mr. Rogers said. however, that Mr. Mlchaud’s criticisms were unreasonalble. He qupted from a publication of the Farmers Union of Alberta, which said that an FUA delegation had been unable to see fonmer Liberal prime min- ister St. Laurent, but that it had since had no trouble meeting members of the Conservative cabinet. » Mr. Michaud said the family farm is in danger of being w-iped out because of lange-scale agri- S And Alberto, ong Critics cultural methods and the tend- ency of large companies to ac- quire control of some phases of agriculture. One example he mentioned was the voluminous mechanical pro- duction of broilers. Chicken breeders could not compete with that. ATTACKS PM He attacked Prime Minister Diefenbaker for promising fanm- ers “a bill of rights” that would assure them an income compar- able with that in other sectors of the economy. The prime minister had “found it easier to make, statements on election platform! than to back them up by action." Mr. Michaud reiterated de- mands for a floor price under potatoes, saying the present Ill!’- plus justifies such support. Dealing briefly with unemploy- ment, he said that there must be action now, especially in the Maritimes, to prevent I full- scale depression. There were a.num)ber of pro- jects in the Maritimes that could be launched to provide jobs. Con- struction of the long - proposed Chignecto Canal, between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. was one of them. If it warranted Mr. Diefenbaker’s attention dur- ing the election campaign, then it warranted action now when there were many unemployed workers. Ernest Broome (PC — Van- couver South) said all federal government contracts should in- clude a clause requiring that preference be given to Canadian engineers, architects and other skilled personnel’ in carrying out the work. He said provincial and munic- ipal governments should be en- couraged to do the same tiling. While some specialties might bet- ter be done by outside help, from the United States, for ex- ample, he said Canadian an- gineers and the like are com- petent to do most job: in their field. OTTAWA (OP) —Canada has slashed her trade deficit with the United States and cut her deficit in world trade to one - third of what it was a year ago. With Canadian purses tighten- ing against spending in foreign lands, the deficit in U.S. trade dropped to $373.900,000 in the first five months of 1958, down from the $660,300,000 in the similar 1957 period, the bureau of statistics es- timated Tuesday. The Canadian deficit in trade with all countries—the excess of imports over exports — dropped to $173,600,000 from $514,200,000. One of the major shifts came in May as over-all exports rose and‘; imports continued to fall. Exports} in May climbed to $484,400,000‘ from $445,400,000 last year while. imports dropped to $486,900,000‘ f"-om $554,100,000. SHIPMENT OF PLANES One source said part of the reason for the May rise ill ex- ports was the shipment of planes to Belgium. The details of this transaction undoubtedly will be disclosed when the bureau pub- lishes an analysis of the months trade later. . However, it is understood that lincluded in the shipment: were ‘ some CF-100 jet aircraft under a mutual aid deal. Belgium is oh-, taining about 70 of these jets with! Canada paying 25 per cent of the ‘,cost and the U.S. 75 per cent. ‘ Outside of this transaction. the rise in exports was relatively I Canada Slashes Her Trade Deficit, Statistics Indicate small, the informant said. The May rise did not definitely es- tablish a trend. Over - all imports for the five months dropped to $2,126,500,0()0 from last year's $2.450,600,0()0. Most of the declined was re- ported to reflect the business re- cession with industries importing less machinery and equipment for business expansion.
