"ra- St. Laurent Says Misquoted On Seaway Talk 0'I'I'AWA (CPI Prime Minister” St. Laurent said Thursday he has not stated that his government, "got the beat It could cut of til bad deal” with the United Statesl on the St. Lawrence in-away. i In a letter to the Ottawa Jour-i nal. he criticized The Canadian. Press report of a speech he gave at Montreal Saturday. j The letter was in reply to I; Journal editorial expressing puzzle-I ment at a report quoting him as saying the government got the hasty it could out of it bad deal on the question of an all-Canadian sea- way. By A recent agreement. thel US. is to build the initial main1 ransla on its side of the rivers tnternational ilertlon, with Canada: matching a smaller US. canal lip- river. y (In a report of the Montreali speech, CP said: "Mr. St. Laurenti said it is an 'open sect-et' Canadal would have preferred to build all: canals in Canadian territory bllli the government 'got the best It could out of a had deaI.''I . Mr. St Laurent. who spoke In' Trench Saturday. said In the let-' ter that his only reference to ”un mauvais mai'ciie"--translatcri in, the official English text from the prime miiiisters office as "is bad 'ieal' -came when he was referr- ing to criticism directed at government based on what termed erroneous published FSptvtlS In sortie newspapers REVIEWED LETTERS He said that in his speech he had revieviecl letters critical of tlic lnvernmcnl in various uays for not undertaking an all-Canadian seaway. and he had mentioned "at few of them going so far as to concede that the government had Rotten the best it could out of a bad deal.” "That rem)i't of the criticism" contained in the letters." he wrote The Journal, ”was given to sup-S port the assertion I had made thati the facts. as reported in the news- papers. and the conclusions drawn from those facts, ucre false. "I uas surprised to see in The Canadian Press report of my speech that I had said that it was an open secret that Canada would have preferred to btiild all the canals in Canadian territory but the government got the best it could out of it bad deal. I "1 don't know why the writer of this report linked together my. statement of what the criiicismsi were. which is on page seven of my notes. and my oun assertion that the Canadian government would have pi'cfet'rcd to hiiild all the canals on the Canadian side, which is at page 13 of those fttotes." I it was. Mr St Laurent snirl, tin- fortunate that the writer fcli thrit. "hy rearranging the speech. he could compress into three or four lines what it was taking me scv-y erai pastes to express in my own way." TRANSLATION lSSl'l-JD ' IThe prime tninictniis IPIPIOIIFCF to pages in his nolcs' dcalt uitii the French text. In the official English translation issued from hisl office in advance of dclivcry. he was Cltloted at saving on the first. point: "Very few letters iecogniutd that. the government had got the best It could out of a hati deal." vThc French text of this sentence rend: "Quclqties rares lettics con- redaient our le gouvcrncment avail tire le mcillcur parti d'tin inatt- vais marche" The official traits- lntor rr-nrlered "rnnccdaicnt” as ”re:cngni7ed ” in his letter. Mr. St Laurent used "concede" instead of "recognize." (The "open secret" the English text is: ''It is more or less an ripen sorrel. i believe. that the Canadian government would have much preferred to build all the canals In Canadian territory") Deny"All War S Criminals To Be Released FONN. Germany iAT'l Spoke- men for the Western Allics Thurs day night denied a report that the remaining German war criminals In Allied J.'I'..R are to be released In preparation for impending Wt-st German sovereignty. British and American officials said no such agreement has been made with the Germans An American spokesman empha- lined there had been no speed-up In release because of the prospect of German sovereignty.

This picture of a Montreal buyer ordering a supply of the butter substitute. banned in Quebec prov- ince, was painted by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police as they told of the big-scale operations of smugglers of cignreta and other merchandise from the U n i t e d States. Smuggling of margarine from the United States. they said. mere- ly was a sideline for the men who in 15 months brought 2,500,000,000 cigarets into the country without paying federal or provincial tax. it's easier to smuggle it into Que- bec from adjoining Ontario. MANY ARREST! In recent weeks. more than tlfi persons have been arrested as RCMP and Quebec provincial pn- lice cracked down on a smuggling ring which they say cost federal and provincial treasuries millions of dollars in revenue. More ar- rests are expected. Compared to the smuggling of cigareta and other merchandise such as American refrigerators. said an RCMP official who de- clined use of his me. the illegal importation of iargarine was ”pcanuts.” In 15 months. the RCMP has proof of only 20 tons of margarine being smuggled into Quebcc from the U. S. I Of Canada's 10 provinces. only Quebec and Prince Edward Island ban the sale and use of margarine as a threat to their dairy indus- tries. It is much simpler to bring margarine into Quebec from On? tario than to smuggle It across the guarded international boirdeinl Indicative of the extent of inter-; provincial smuggling operation, a. total of 35.000 pounds of Ontarioi, margarine was seized in Qiicbeci in 1953. indications are that large amounts cscaped detection. in thc Jaiiuziry-Augtist period of 1954. 89: persons were arrested for such smuggling.

IN SMALL LOTS "The small lots usually come across in the area where the provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick meet the Maine border. "But a smuggler Isn't likely to break both federal and provincial law when he can get the same commodity in a neighboring prov- ince. risking only one offence." Margarine. selling at 37 cents a pound -. butter is 63 cents - is bought by householders and small restaurants in this city of more than 1.iIO(l.000. In Prince Edward Island the problem of smuggling Is not acute because transport by water is in- volvatl.

MONTREAL. (CP)-A French dam builder believes he has it remedy for the cliff erosion which has plagued Niagare Falls. He calls it "ski-Jumps." In an interview Tuesday, Andre Coyne of Paris, founder and chief of the French technical deput- merit for large dams. said the skljumpa would carry Niagara's water far out. rather than let it drop straight down to form wiilripoolai that undermine the cliffs and cause recurring heavy falls of rock. "They are working at Niagara falls now to try and save the falls by regulating the volume. of water." said Mr. Coyne. "if a ski- jump were constructed by digglnz a sluiceway and its end elevated slightly. the water would shoot out 100 feet or more and fail in a graceful curtain into the pool." The passage of water through area of calm water between thy Liverpool, England. has the larg- cst. ciitircii organ in the world. the air would dissipate a lot of its force and there would be. an water curtain and the cliffs.
