More Farm Credit Urged OTTAWIA (CP) — Progressive Conservative MIPs from four provinces urged the federal gov- ernment Thursday to make more long - term credit available to farmers on more generous terms. They told the Commons agri- culture committee this should be done because private lehding in- stitutions no longer are interested in making mortgage loans to farmers. Increased federal activity in loans was urged by Gage W. Montgomery, Victoria - Carleton, N.B.; C. A. Milligah. Prince Ed- ward. - Lennox, Out; R. R. Southern, Moose Mountain, Sask, and Lawrence E. Kindt, Mac- Leod, Alta. The discussion came during committee study of a bill to amend the Canadian Farm Loan Act. OTTAWA MUST ACT Mr. Montgomery said since farmers are unable to obtain long-term ldans from private in- stitutions the government must be prepared to extend its activ- tiles in this field. ' “The government has got to be far more generous and take more risks,” he said. “If the gov- ernment doesn't, nobody else will.” If the government suffered leases, they woulb have to be ab- sorbed by the federal treasury. 4&5 of Wolfville, Nova Scotla looks on. \ be to replace ue’ Liberal putty with whatever comes of the CLC cooperation. i ‘ e’veseen the (1. tion of .the Liberal party," ln‘the March 31 federal election, Premier Doug- las said in imging convention up- port of the resolution. _ “We now halvevin the saddle a party of Tory fireactiiinf.’ ~But1crnllflanndiansiwith ist political views, there now was a Vacuum.

But a government statement— seeming to reflect American and French thinking—rejected as un- realistic Khrushchev’s idea that ' the talks should start Monday. x It pledged Britain’s readiness to participate “as soon as a special meeting of the Security Council can be conveniently arranged. The trend of thinking seemed to be that would be in about 10 days, or during the first week in Au- gust. " However, the U.S. Embassy in Moscow made preliminary ar- rangements for quick American clearance of Khrushchev’s jet plane whenever it receives for- mal notification of his 'plans. RUSS CONFIDENT Selfconfldence was reflected smo’ng the Russians at Khrush- chev’s decision to accept the West’s challenge. “He did it, he gave it to them," said a Moscow cab driver. “He will show them." And government and Com- munist party newspapers made fresh attacks on the United States and President Eisenhower. Izvesti-a said the United States is so accustomed to settling all problems from positions Of strength that it interprets military intervention as peaceful foreign policy. When Eisenhower speaks of human dignity, it said, he is thinking only of crowned, feudal heads of colonial states. Pravda accused the United States of meddling, wire—pulling UNIITELD NATIONS, N.Y. (AP) Many UN diplomats feel the key phrase in Premier Khrushchev’s latest message ,on a summit meeting is his reference to con- sultations outside the Security Council chamber. Thefeeling here is that what- ever achievements come from any proposed high-level gathering will be the result of private talks among East-West leaders and not from the formal sessions of the l'l-nattion council. BY‘ COUPLE or WEEKS " WASHINGTON (AP) — Pres- ident Eisenhower Thursday drafted a reply to Soviet Premier Khrushchev’s bid for a quick summit conference and sent it to British and Erench leaders for their perusal. , The reply was reported mainly an attempt to pin Khrushchev down to a promise to abide by the rules of the United Nations Security Council at ‘auy hastily ar- ranged New York meeting. Khrushchev proposed a summit conference on the- Middle East to start Monday. But Eisenhower ob- viously was seeking to slow the rush by a couple of weeks. White House press secretary James C‘. Hagerty said there was a good chance the draft would be delivered to Moscow and made public today. SETTLE GROUND RULES ' Some authorities thought Satur- day might be earliest this could be done in view of the need for the American, British and French governments to settle dif- ferences about ground rules for any conference with Khrushchev. Haigerty gave no hint as to whether Eisenhower would agree to a swiit New York parley. A history-making session at the United Nations within a few weeks still seemedsvirtually cer- tain- But the date clearly would not be next Monday, as Khrush- chev proposed. Continuing objections of France’s Premier Charles de Gaulle clouded the outlook anew during the day as the three allied governments began urgent con- Khrushchev’s bid.

Both Russia and the West have abided by the 1965 treaty. HARD BARGAINING If such an agreement were reached tor the Middle East, it presumably would have to include provision for some sort of UN force, stunned or unarmed, to AngloiAmemcan' v forces. It also presumably would have to come out of the private—as opposed to public—talks that take place when the Big Five powers meet at the UN Security Council in New York. Utt names at any public sessions ‘ ely will be made solely for public consump- tion, on both sides. It is in the closed-door talks that the hard bargaining, and give - and - take, can be expected. , The scape of the New York talks depends upon how far the Big Five agree to carry their negotiations and. how long they expect to be in session. RADIO INCl’I‘EMENTS If it attempts to achieve a gen- eral Middle East settlement, the summit conference must also take the issue of psychological war- are, which includes the constant outpourings by the governmenb controlled radio stations in Cairo and Damascus of incitements to the Arab peoples to revolt or as- sassinate their leaders. To halt such subversion, the Big Five must have the agree,- ment of Egypt’s Gamal Abdel Nasser and his United Arab Re< tain.
