Under this deal, the CPR built a 310-mile rail line from Leth- bridge, Alta., through the Crows- nest Pass in the Rockies to Nel- gon, B.C. The federal government paid $3,404,000 to the CPR as a subsidy to‘help cover the $9,894,- 000 cost of laying the rail line. CUT RATES In return, the CPR cut back its freight charges on hauling Prai- rie grain to the Lakehead. Later, Parliament and the board of transport commissioners ex- tended the low rate level to all export grain shipments—east or west—and made it ‘apply to the publicly-owned CNR. For years now, the OPR has been trying to get rid of the low grain rates.

At one stage secret service guards rushed into the car be- side the American leader as wel- comers pressed against it in a display that was at once joyous and terrifying. Eisenhower came through it all weary but smiling. He told Prime Minister Nehru he was “eomplet- ely overwhelmed.” Perhaps 1,500,000 Indians joined in the biggest welcome this coun- try has given a foreign visitor.

The Conservative MP was com- menting on a resolution passed Tuesday by the National Liberal Advisory Council proposed early construction of the canal through the isthmus linking Nova Scotia and New Brunswick which its sup- porters call a natural extension of the St. Lawrence Seaway. “There is no ev‘dence to con- -tend with the widespread sus- picion that the project would Benefit To Atlantic Area Is Seen: cause serious difficulties to the port and people of Halifax."’» Mr. Morris said Maritimers should work vigorously for re- gional projects which will bene- fit the entire area. He said the proposed Causeway across North- umberland Strait between New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island ‘‘would fit more clearly . into the concept of regional pro- jects satisfying the entire region.” As for the canal he added: “Halifax will give its full and active support to any project which could be expected to en- dow to the benefit of the whole Atlantic Provinces region. “The present available evidence leads to no such conclusion for the Chignecto Canal.”’- 14 STILL AT LARG Six Of Escapees Are Recaptured IVY BLUFF, N&.

Speaking in his capacity as minister of agriculture, the pre- mier said that markets for Is- land produce could be enlarged to include the north shore of the Gulf of St. Lawrence as well as southern countries.

The Indians welcomed the American president with a tre-| mendows, spontaneous roar of friendship for the man they were! told was a “messenger of, peace.” The joyous welcome overshad- owed the grim warning voiced only the day before by neutralist Prime Minister Nehru that India must be able to produce as as well as butter. Two topics will be high on ‘the agenda when the leaders from East and West get down to ser- ious talks — the Chinese border troubles and the nagging Kash- mir dispute. LITTLE HELP On the surface it appears Eisenhower and his country will be able to do little to help the Indians deal with ‘the first. In the Indian Parliament, when Nehru issued his warning, he re- iterated his belief in non-align- ment. He gave the elected repre- sentatives of his country a brief lesson in geography. Whether India likes it or not, China was her neighbor over thousands of miles and there was no getting away from it. This compulsion of geography meant that India would have to undergo austerity, berets and hard work. On the “escond point, the Ameri- can leader probably will be able to do little more than impress on Nehru the’ importance to the Free World of improved rela-| ‘Toughest Assignment ls Seen Ahead For lke tions between India and Pakis- tan. r-' § cy on it in improving the quality of hogs and taking care of disease.

ONE BREED The premier said there is a job in Prince Edward Island in dir- ecting the work of artificial in- semination so that communities can be built up around one kind of breed. Mr. Shaw said he ex- pected to secure very shortly the services of an outstanding direc- tor of livestock for the province. Mr. Shaw said there is a new awakening in the province, a turning in—not a looking out to the federal government for hand- outs—to see what agricultural as- ‘sets are under our control and what methods are best to de- velop them. “I can see Prince Edward Island as ‘a wonderful province of production and work- ing together we can go forward to make this province truly the greatest province in Canada,”’ he said. The president of the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association, Dr. George Fisher, Charlotte- town, outlined the activities of the national organization and told of the new trends in the treat. ment of farm livestock.
