Phone Alb- French Language Faper Dominant: 0n P.E.l. Election OTTAWA. Dec. 30 —(Specla.l)— In an unusual analysts of the ro- cent provincial elections in Prince Edward Island, the Ottawa French language newspaper “Le - Droit" expresses regret that only nine Roman Catholics were elected to the Legislature, while in propor- tion to population. catholics could expect they would be represent/ed by 13 out of the 30 members of the House. "In the three divisions of Prince County where they are in the majority“ Le Droli: writes. "Cath- olics were sufficiently generous to elect three Roman Catholic and three non-Catholic members. In the other divisions where non- Cathollcs are in the majority, there was not even n. Catholic candidate. Conservative or Lib- eral. "The same situation prevails tn the Federal field. For the past 40 years the member for Prince has | been a non-Catholic and the same | principle applied to the Senate‘ seat. "This condition ls not peculiar to Prince Edward Island." tho newspaper concludes. “It is found 1n all parts of Canada where there is an Anglo-Saxon majority. This constitutes a. problem for those of the Roman Catholic faith. It h! up to them to sea that they have better representation ln the Pur- llaments of the country. If they fan to interest themselves in the public welfarc they are,in the wrong. Their duty to ' interest themselves is today more imper- atlve than ever." By Alex Singleton LONDJN, Dec. 46 -(AP) — Britain may take h.r first defin- .r-..- snps next week toward abandoning efforts to assume a. mcdiatorb role in post-war world affairs and move instead in the (irrection of a “stop rcussia" part- nership with the United States. The full Cabinet will meet Mon- day to weigh a tentative blueprint of this country's position in inter- national affairs. a plan drafted by Foreign Secretary Bevin after the breakdown of the Foreign Ministers conference on Ger- many. Government officials have shown no inclination to minimize the importance of the anticipated decisions.

B., Dec. 26- (CP) - Lumber firms hero today estimated New drunswfcics lumber cut this year at. less than half of lhflt in 1:146, when the cut from Crown lands amounted to 450.001. cords and 110,000,000 board feet and when the value of New Bruns wick forest products topped the $80,000,000 mark. Principal reason for the sharp decline was reported as tho clos- ing of the United Kingdom mar- ket. with uncertainty of other markets also a factor. In 1946 forest products sxpbrt. ecl from the Province were valued at $57,000,000. Now, because of the economic situation. no lumber is being sent io the United King- dom. So fur as mineral development le concerned. however, officials expect that 1948 will be New Brunswlcks biggest year. Pro- jects include a $4,000,000 fertil- izer and cement plant in Albert County, a survey of salt deposits under the Petltcodlac River, drill- ing for lead and zinc at Elm Tre’ on Bay Chsleur, possible expans- ion uf the quarrying and peat in- dustries. and oll explorations in Albert.
