Prime Minister Diefenbaker, in a pep talk to the general meet- -ing of the party's national asso- ciation, said the Conservatives “do not intend to lose touch with the grass roots of this country, so Jong as I remain leader.” A few hours earlier, national di- recto? Allister Grosart called for efforts to win more than the rec- ord 208 Commons seats, of a total 265, that the Conservatives won last year. “I am not willing to admit we can’t do better the next time,” Mr. Grosart said. ‘ TALKS PREDOMINATE Speech - making predominated - the two-day meeting, attended some 1,300. delegates members, got under way slowly. ‘pace ic. n debate on resolutions and election of association officers. Mr. Diefenbaker said Liberal leader Lester B. Pearson had ex- plained the Liberal government’s election defeat in 1957 by saying the Liberal “brass’’ lost touch and} li gill, former Liberal immigration minister, had said the Liberals ran out of ideas. “This meeting shows we don’t intend to allow- ourselves to fall into either of: these mistakes,” the prime minister said. An overflow audience filled the 750-seat auditorium as he called the meeting the largest political convention, apart from leadership conventions, that Canada seen. NO SINGLE GROUP The confidence placed in the Conservatives in two elections did not come from any single group in Canada. “It is the confidence of all Canadians . . . who look to us as the way of the future.” Tuesday’s meeting saw the in- troduction of a new political arm in Quebec—the first federal Con- formed at Montreal Monday and its’ new executive, headed by Jerome, came to Ottawa in a body. Hitherto there has been no permanent organization of fed- eral Conservatives in the prov- with “the grass.”” J. W. Pickers- ince. ‘World Disarmament’ ls Plea Of Khrushchev By ANTHONY PEARCE BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP)— Soviet Premier Nikita Khrush- chevy said again Tuesday that Russia has enough nuclear réck- ets to raze all its foes, and de- clared world disarmament must be solved along with the Berlin question. The Soviet leader spoke at the seventh congress of the Hungar- ian Communist Party, the first since the 1956 revolution that overthrew Communist rule only to be crushed by Soviet tanks. Declaring that agreement on an East - West summit meeting “has practically been reached,” Khrushchev said he agrees with West German Chancellor Konrad that disarmament is the first otder of business at such a meeting. ‘WANT DISARMAMENT Russia wanted universal dis- armament with “the most com- prehensive and profound con- trol’” and is willing to destroy a whole stockpile of rockets with nuclear warheads which could “raze to the ground all our po- tential enemies.” U.K. Recognizes Arab Republic \ By DAVE OANCIA LONDON (AP) — After three painful years, Britain and the United Arab Republic have de- cided to recognize each other’s existence. 2 On The foreign office announced the move in a brief statement: “The governments of the U.A.R. and the United Kingdom have agreed to re-establish rela- tions’ at the level of charge d'affaires.” Weeks of backroom manoeu- vres and appeals, in which Can- ada played a significant role, were necessary before the two countries could agree on the wording of the statement. Diplomatic relations collapsed three years ago at the time of the Suez crisis in 1956. This was followed by a period of intense bitterness and mistrust between the two countries. It is understood that both Ex- ternal Affairs Minister Green and Arnold Smith, Canadian Ambas- sador in Cairo, strongly urged President Nasser's to patch up his diplomatic quar- rel with Britain. In recent months, Britain has made no secret of its desire to let bygones by bygones.

The commission found that the cost of these ‘‘services’’ is pazsed along to the consumer. Dr. An- drew Stewart, commission chair- man,-said that “in moving-in the direction of preventing food price increases, the commission be- lives that the services which could most properly be dispensed with are the promotional services such as contests, giveaways and ‘gimmicks’.’ : OPPOSES GIMMICKS He said in an interview that ‘gimmicks’ mean such things as towels. or cutlery in soapflake boxes but might also be extended to include stamp plans. : These promotional device were part of an 84-per-cent in- crease in the cost of marketing a basket of food between 1949 and 1958.
