But Russia said parts of the West's proposal de- serve further consideration. U.S. State Secretary Christian A. Herter charged the Soviet plan for separate peace treaties with East and West Germany carried “the seeds of future discord and conflict.” He accused the \Soviet , Union of blocking a German set- tlement. Soviet Foreign Minister Andret A. Gromyko snapped back that the United States, Britain and France were trying to promote a state of half-war, half-peace in Germany. He said the Western powers were trying to extend their “occupation regime in West Macquarrie Berlin’ to encompass East Ber- lin, capital of the East German regime. He turned down the West’s package approach ‘for German reunification and described West- ern proposals for uniting East and West Berlin—the first phase of the package—as “utterly unac- ceptable.”” In his hour long speech Gromyko said German. reunifica- tion was possible only through direct action by the East and West German states.

Those rates — which the rail- ways contend are non-realistic— should be examined to see whet- her they are “‘compensatory,” the former Liberal transport minister said. If they aren't, perhaps the commission might suggest a form of subsidy for the farmer—pro- tecting both wheat exports and getting the railways off the high- costs hook. — Z Prime Minister Diefenbaker said last week in announcing the composition of the royal commis- sion and its terms of reference that the Crowsnest Pass rates won't be affected. Douglas Fisher (CCF—Port Ar- thur) said Monday that grain farmers and railway employees are being set against each in the interests of management and both are getting “clobbered.” Grain freight rates were too high and every time rail employees asked for a wage increase they were pictured as driving costs up farther. FINAL READING The views came as the Com- -. |mons gave final reading to a bill to pay the railways a $20,000,000 subsidy in compensation for the cabinet having scaled down a freight rate increase to about 10 per cent from 17. The rate in- crease, granted last fall by the Board of Transport Commission- - ers, was intended to help the rail- ways pay for higher wages to non-operating railway employees. In other Commons business Monday, Prime Minister Diefen- baker described Soviet Premier Khrushchev’s latest offer regard- ing detection of high-altitude nu- clear tests as a “cautious” step jereers but no major change of Russian policy. . ad
