Clay as co-mdinator of Junior Farmer en- t was i ” by the organization. It was also recom- mended that Dr. George Fisher be the co-uidinator between 4-H Clubs and Junior Farmers for the year 1957. The Junior farmers expressed satisfaction with the short course held last year and expressed the hope that this course will be con- tinued in the present year. The president was extended the apprec- iation of the meeting for his work during the year and his annual re- port. It was suggested that copies of the report be sent to The Prem- ler, The Minister and Deputy Min- ister of Agriculture. The thanks of the organisation were also extended to the press and radio for their co-operation during the past year. PRESIDENT"! REPORT "Air eventful year has passed since our last annual meeting.

Saturday as the Canadian Pacific Raiway strike approached a new week with no settlement in sight. The Saint John emergency was proclaimed at a special meeting of the city's common council. At the same time council members decided to call on other city coun- cils and trade boards in the Mari- times to exert pressure for govern- ment intervention in the rail dis- pute. Speakers at the meeting said the tie-up is "the worst blow suffered by the port of Saint John in the last 35 years." A shipping company spokesman said the goodwill of the port is being seriously damaged and if the sirike continued business may never return. Longshoruuuu were still at work but another shipping spokesman said the west side wa- terfront would ”look like a ghost town" by Tuesday. Elsewhere the country seemed to be weathering the strike with- out serious effects. N0 NEW LAYOFFS in Vancouver, all pickets were ordered from CPR docks by W. L.

Seeks Not Violence But Peace, Congress is Informed WASHINGTON (AP) - Pres- ident Eisenhower Saturday asked Congress to give him broad au- thority involving both troops and dollars to defend the Middle East against armed aggression by what he called the "ambitious despots" of "power-hungry" Communism. Eisenhower emphasized. how- ever, that "we seek no violence. but peace." He said Russia need have no fear from the United States in the Middle East or else- lwhere "so long as its rulers do not themselves first resort to ag- gression." The president underscored the importance of his message to the legislators by delivering it in per- son to a combined Senate-House of Representatives session with overflowing galllcries and to the world by television and radio. DEFINE STAND Specifically. asked congress to co-operate in telling friendly and um .... , .ountrles authorizing: 1. Use of "the armed forces of the United States as he deems necessary to secure and protect the territorial integrity and polit- ical l dependence" o' any Middle East countries ”against over ar- med aggression from any nation controlled by international Com- munism." That would be done only if such help was requested by the endangered country and "subject to the overriding author- ity of the United Nations Security Council." 2. U.

They had said that infiltration. not outright aggression. was the prime danger, and that the Eisen- hower program as outlined earlier this week did not meet this menace. There are unmistakable signs that many influential le gia- lators regard the lines of author- ity sought by the president as too broad and propose to tighten them ill)- This seems lilo-:ly to take the form in the Senate of a move to divorce the military and economic aspects of the program and to spell out some limitations on both. Republicans as well as Dem- ocrats made it clear that Con- gress wants more information than the president gave in his per- sonal appearance. Where. exactly, would the U. S. draw a line in the dust of the Middle East and tell the lieds it means war if they cross? What sort of act would trigger a war?
