GOVERNMENT TO SET UP 10 MILLION WAR CLAIMS FUND Says Reds Setting Stage For Germ Warfare Predict Canada Will ' Start Seaway-Power Project Next Spring OTTAWA, June 18 - (CF) -- Pians for all-Canadian navigation facilities on the St. Lawrence sea- way-power project pushed ahead today despite the United States ssnats'e shelving of legislation for a joint Canada-US. job. Right after the senate setback to full U.S. participation, official quarters here predicted a start on the 38.50.000.000 undertaking by next spring if a go-ahead is re- ceived in time from the interna- tional joint commission. The US. Government is con- tinuing its co-operation with Can- ada in an application before the commission for permission to change river levels for the power scheme. Under that alternative plan, Ontario and some authority designated by the U.S. administra- tion would create the power pro- ject. The Canadian Government alone would build the navigation works but will not proceed unless the power phase can be construct- ed concurrently. Transport Minister Chcvrier said today he expects the senate move will not interfere with that. He told the commons the applica- tion to the commission - which regulates the boundary waters - wiil be made "forthwith."

It would take five years for the power project- which might be shaved to 4 1-2 -and another two for the naviga- (ion.

He said that many of the people who are get- ting drunk today, according to police records, get drunk on these lotions and tonics. Resources Minister Winters re- plied that in his opinion, hair tonics containing rtcohol would come directly under the prohibi- tions of the Act.

Y., June 18-(AP)-U. S. delegate Ernest A. Cross said today Russia and Red China. have set the stage for using germ warfare by making repeated charges that the United States and the United Nations are carry- ing on bacteriological warfare in Korea. Gross made the statement in a sharp retort to Russia's Jakob Malik in the U. N. Security Coun- cil after Malik, in a surprisingly mild speech, had merely appealed to the council to recommend that all countries, including the U. S. ratify the 1925 Geneva protocol agairiat such weapons. Malik spoke for is minutes with- out mentionlng once the Russian and Communist charges made in the U. N. Disarmament Commis- the U.

Gross replied in a carefully- evidencc the Russians. abandoned their campaign "lies" about the U. S. using germ warfare. He said there was a reservation to the 1925 protocol by the Russians that if an enemy or an ally of an enemy used such weapons the Russians were free to use them. Gross said this reservation, plus the charges made time and again by the Rus- sians and the Communist Chinese showed they were setting stage for using such weapons. .90 .Groin" Elevator Destroyed By.

Test Sugar Cane Waste For Paper WASHINGTON. June 18 -(AP) -A ton of Louisiana bagasse is being shipped here and scientists will test paper-making qualiites of the sugar-cane waste. Bagasse- the pulpy residue after the juice is pressed from sugar canc-al- ready has been used to produce paper. Several southern newspap- ers have printed editions on bagasse newsprint. Representative Edwin Willis (Dem. La.) said the chief purpose is to have a government agency put its stamp of approval on the processes. C such recognition, he said, will make it easier for sponsors of the new paper-making methods to ob- tain needed financing. Willis said bagasse paper can be produced for about :65 a ton, compared with newsprint prices of about 3120 in the U. S.

June is --(OP)- Canada, after weeks of negoti- ations, has finally obtained United States agreement to al- low surplus Canadian beef into Korea. The iiow will be about 100,000 pounds a month. Defence Minister Claxton, returning from Washington talks, announced today that Canadian meat will go to feed j'Lat,erlit was learned the plan is to ship the beef from Van- couver into American quarter- master stores in the Far East. From there it will be distribu- ted possibly to Canadians or to ' forces of other countries re- quiring supplies. Experts herc do not consider the Korean shipments as very substantial. But they said they will help ease the burden of disposing of meat surpluses which have steadily climbed as a result of ihe foot-and-mouth disease and the U.S. embargo on Canadian meat and cattle. Japs. Recognize Chinese Nationalists TOKYO. June 18 -,- (AP) Japan announced today she re- cognizes Chiang Kai-Shek's Na- tionaiists as the gbvernment for all China, thus slamming the door on speculation she might sign a separate pact with Red China. The major policy decision, an- nounced by the Japanese Foreign Office, followed months of waver- lng. The treaty signed with the Chinese Nationalists April 28 had left an opening for relations with Peiping. Eija Wajima. chief of the For- eign 0ffice's Asia Bureau. explain- ed the change in policy before the lower house foreign affairs committee. Exactly what caused the policy change was not apparent. It is known the United States strongly opposed a Red Treaty. Economic pressures would have given the Japanese Government reason to sign with the Reds.

The money will come out of German and Japanese assets held in Can- uda. Prime Minister St. Laurent said today in the Commons that the government will move speedily to establish the fund. He made ihe sintcmcnt after he tabled the 60,- 000-word report of Chief Justice J. L. Iisiey of the Nova Scotia Supreme Court recommending methods to deal with ihe claims.

OTTAWA. June 13 --(Ci?)-The Board of Transport Commissioners has ordered an investigation into the railways costs of hauling Western coal into the East, it was' learned today. I The study stems from a protest- ed 1061 freight-rate increase on this coal and another proposed in- crease which has been pending for some months. The rates. on coal moving from Alberta and Southeast British Coi- umbis to Ontario, have been the subject of conosm by the railways and Iuvernments for years. At the request of-the Federal Govern- men, they were slashed about as is ion in mid-depression. The average rate was boosted to 00.00 in the post-war series of gen- eral freight increases. and last year the railways announced they were putting them up by another 34.10 to wipe out the depression out. As a result of protests, the rail- ways put only half of that amount into effect. The other half was to take effect last April 1. But the Alberta Government and coal operators portested this, and also asked the Transport Board to wipe out the 1061 increase of 32.36. The board did not formally order the proposed increase held up. but the railways have kept it in obey- snoc anyway. (Continued on Page 8 Col. 3) News lnflf-rief SEOUL.

OTTAWA, June l8---(Specla1)-- Extension of the spring lobster- fishing season in Prince Edward Island waters will depend on re- ports of the catch to date, The Guardian learned this afternoon. The request of the P. E. 1. Fish- eries Federailon for 'an extension was brought up in the House nfi Commons this morning by W. Chester S. McLure, Queen's. If the catch of lobster in Prince Edward Islnnd, New Brunswick and Nova Scoiia wai- erir has been low because imdi wcather has prevented ihe lob-1 sier bonis going out to the fish-v ing-grounds. it is altogether like- ly that the season will he prolong”, ed to July 12. On the other hand. the Federal Government would not exiend the season purely as a form of compensation to fisher- men for loss of gear due to storms. The guided ecision y the will primarily be conservation angle in the issue, not the damage angle. it will be based on rc- ports to he received shorily from the superintendent of fisheries and local inspectors. Fisheries Minister Mayhcw fold ihe.House in reply to Mr. Mc- Lurc's request that he is sails- flcd that the condition of the lobster industry at present is an urgent matter. As far as the loss Extension Of Lobster Season Request Raised In Parliament of gear and damage in equipment is concerned, the Minister said that is not a matter of fishing policy but a matter of relief. "Up to the present time," he said, "the Government of Prince Edward island has not made any npplic.-iiions to us for assistance." lie added that no request to pro- long the lobster season had been received from fishermen on the north shore of Nova Scoiia. Mr. McLure told the House lhat Prince Edward island lohsler fishermen had first been handi- capped carly in ihe season by severe ice conditions. Later their operaiions hnd heen hampered and a large quantiiy'nf their gear destroyed by recent heavy storms. lie understood that some 6,000 lobster-irnps had been lost in the Rusilco arca alone, representing a loss lo the fishermen there of approximately 525,000. It was on account of these extraordinary losses, Mr. McLure said. that he was asking if the Federal Government would live consideration in financial assist- ance in compensate both the north and south shore fishermen in Prince Edward Island for their losses. The issue will be probed at length when discussion of fisher- ies depnrfment estimates are re- sumed tomorrow or on Friday. (YITAWA. June 18 -(Special)- Prince Edward Island as well as Quebec protects its dairy farmers This was called to the attention of the House of Commons this af- ternoon by J. Watson MacNaught Liberal member for Prince in the debate on the Dairy Products Act. George Cruickshank. Liberal mem- ber for Fraser Valley, 8. 0., told the House that: "There is one province, namely the province of Quebec, which is the only one so far in Canada which has had the good judgment to try to protect the dairy farm- era. "What about Prince Edward Is- lnnd?" interjected Mr. Mac- Naught. "Yes," rejoined Mr. Cruickshank. "I will go further and say that the great suburb we have in the east Prince Edward Island, has also shown good judgment in protect- ing the dairy farmers." Many members of the Commons believed with Mr. Cruickshank that Quebec was alone in its pro- vincial legislation banning the im- port and sale of margarine. Mr. 'MacNaught felt it warranted to correct the wrong impression and point out that Prince Edward Is- land too. prohibits trading in mar- garine within its boundaries.
