The meeting discussed ways and means of promoting more favorable trade relations with Labrador and the Canadian north. It was felt that in these areas a large quantity of food products could be marketed pro- perly each year. Several can» crete suggestions were received from the directors as to how this could be accomplished. The APEC president noted that a tremendous amount of information was available _at APEC headquarters. This im— formation included copies of reports of research work cair- ried out in such field as: Agri- culture, fisheries, tourism etc. Dr. MacKinnon said that much of this information had practical application to the needs of each area.

The issue boiled up anew with the comment of RCAF Air Mar- shal lioy Slemon that a manned interceptor in the RCAF is an "inescapable requirement for as long as we can see." The CF-105 Arrow is a better performer than the American supersonic F-106 and would be the highest performance interceptor available in North America until the American F—108 is ready in five or six years, added the dep- uty commander of North Amer- ican Air Defence Command. He spoke Monday to a group of Ca- nadian reporters at NORAD head- quarters at Colorado Springs, Colo. Air Marshal Slemon’s state- ment was similar to one made by Mr. Pearkes a year ago and the minister told reporters Tues- day he had no objection lo it. He believed also that the air mar- shal‘s statement did not conflict with one made by Prime Minis- ter Dictcubakcr Sept. 23. On Sept. 23. Mr. Diefenbakcr agreed that by the time the Ar- row is ready for squadron use in 1961 it would be superior to any similar alternatives available but IlC questioned whether the mo "'1!" of superiority would be worth the high costs involved.

THAN NOT MORE FIVE CENTS rike Threat Past, Cabinet Spokesman Says Will Stay In Berlin, Nixon Says VLON‘DQN (AP)—~Viace-President Richard Nixon of the United States opened his visit to Britain Tuesday with a clear pronoun-ce- ment that the West will stay in Berlin, strengthen NATO and stand firm against Communist aggression. “We believe that we in the free world could render no greater disservice to the can ‘ of peace than to fail to stand firm," Nixon said. The vice-president addressed a 5004p1ace luncheon of the Pilgrims Somety, a group dedicated to im- provmg British - American rela- tions. LATE LANDING 'Ilhe Nixon plane from Washing- ton had been forced away from London airport and the official welcoming party by a blanket of fog, but landed two hours late at Glatwick airport, 20 miles south of London. He and his wife hurried to Lon- don by train, put off signing the guest book at Palace which was first on their schedule, and spent the rest of the day , catching up. Nixon told the Pilgrims Society the Russian threat to pull out of the four-power occupation of Ber- lin is “the latest Soviet probing action” and the Western powers must hold fast. .He defended the American posi- tion on Formosa, with which many Britons disagree.

While scoffing at Western fears of a Communist blockade, he said the allies would have to negotiate with his regime for free access to Berlin. “If I want to travel to London, I must have the permission of the English government," Ullbricht said in an interview with a Brit- ish newspaper. “And if the gentlemen want to travel to Ber- lin, they must have the permis- sion of the government of the DDR (East Germany). That is just the way it is." Ulbricht gave the impression the Soviets were about to hand over control at any minute. But the Russians themselves seemed to be moving cautiously.

Under Control By JOHN LeBLANC Canadian Press Staff Writes- OTTAWA (CP) — The federal cabinet Tuesday postponed its final answer on the rail strike crisis, but a high informant indi. cated there will be no strike. He said cabinet proposals deal- ing with the involved freight rate- rail strike situation should end the threat of a Dec. 1 tieup called by representatives of 130,000 non»- operating employees. “Everything is under control," he said to a reporter. However, he did not indicate what the cabinet has in mind to skirt between $60,000,000~a—year demands of the unions and an ap- peal by eight provinces to the calbinet from a Board of Trans port Commissioners decision that would give the carriers a 17~per- cent freight rate boost to cover the wage hoist. ALL DAY SESSIONS Meanwhile, the cabinet held mormng’ and afternoon sessions Tuesday and scheduled another. for 10:30 am. EST today, at which it appeared the final form of the verdict might be worked out. Late Tuesday, the cabinet ap- peared ready to announce its de- cision but changed its mind. Cabinet Secretary Robemt Bryce told a group of newspaper men ' council chum benthat there would be an an- nouncement at about 5:30 pm. EST. When acting prlme minister Green came out at about that time, he said there would be no announcement Tuesday. He said the final decision has not yet been made. Asked why the announcement was being deferred, he said: ‘,‘We decided to call it off. We called it a day." would there be an announce- ment tomorrow? he was asked. “Have you got a box of aspirin-s?" he retorted. FINANCIAL FORMULA Earlier lo the day, Mr. Green sidestepped questions as to whether the cabinet was devising some form of financial formula for the railways to enable them to meet the wage bill, rather than granting the straight freight rate increase authorized by the trans- port board. provinces except Ontario and Quebec have appealed the freight rate increase to the cab- inet, which Monday heard their arguments and those of the rail- ways. The provincial governments, asking that the freight increase be rescinded, threw in s sugges tion that there should be 3 fed- eral subsidy on freight rates, at least a temporary one to help them over the current strike cri- SIS. Mr. Green was asked by.. re- porters Tuesday whether the cab inet is working on some such for- mula. “I couldn‘t say anything about that,” he replied. “You can do your own guessing.” POSSIBLE PLAN Parliament Hill reporters were guessing that a formula of some type—rather than a straight yes or no to the transport board's authorized freight increase—was in the wind. . One clue was that, after this morning's cabinet meeting, most of the ministers left but Mr. Green stayed behind for some 40 minutes with Finance Minister Fleming, Justice Minister Fulton and Revenue Minister Nowlan. If the federal treasury were to put up money, Mr. Fleming would have to figure out how it Mr. Nowl-an would have to raise the funds from the taxpayer. Mr. Fulton would have charge of drafting the legislation.
