Sum- merside. LicuL-Col. K. S. Rogers. Charlottetown, is the retiring pra- slrieni. Tile session opened with Col Rogers introducing Mr Harrison Hayes, Montreal, as representing the Canadian Chamber of Com- merre. Mr. Hayes said he was dele- gated to bring greetings and assur- nnccs of full co-operation from the nlilonfll body to the meeting. The chairman said he was un- able to deliver his presidential ad- dress yesterday and would not take op the time of the meeting in doing so now. since mos‘. of the state- ments embodied in it had been thoroughly discussed Canadian business. he said. had made Canada the great country it now was and he was sure private enterprise could justify its exist- ellre in the years ahead, Ha dis- nprgoved of any continuance oi many of the wartime regulations and stated that private enterprise was capable of maintaining the economic welfare of Canada with‘ out embarking on any soclrilistic schemes. Mr. J. A. Morris, $ncton. said the retail businesg of Canada was satisfied to remain in operation under free enterprise. Free enter- prise could do more f the de- velopmenl of the coun ry than an)’ ~ government-dictated economic system. It was true that the pro- fit motive was lnsepnrate from free enterprise but so long as it did not become tho dominating one. ihelcountry was safsVundel; the free enterprise system, Com- petition afforded an incentive to the development of more modern and efficient methods of produc- tirln and distribution while incen- tive remained dormant under any form of socialism. The case for private enterprise will stand or fail, Mr. Morris said on its ability to give life to the whole people. Mr. Morris cautioned against the delegates entertaining any but the most amicable feelings toward co- operatives, joint stock companies, eic.. which were not soa-iolistic organizations in the proper sense ni the term. Trouble lies ahead. Mr. Morris said, unless business realizes that certain changes in the natlonn-l economy might be advisable. but such changes need not endanger the welfare of free enterprise. But free enterprise la confronted with a grave challenge. The issue has been joined and for free enterprlseto falter now will mean that its enemies will be quick to introduce other systems In Europe, Mr. Morris conclud- ed. the issue is not between 01p- iiallsm and socialism but between freedom and slavery and Canadian business must develop a deeper consciousness of the great ques- tions itflvdlved. Mr. Paul Sharpe. Charlottetown. slid that thousands of American tourists new had their own priv- ate planes and he thought some rrl-ftrfllnflllofl should be develop- ed among all the Maritime air- rwrls to encourage those Ameri- cans making use of the Maritime airports when they decide to take a week-end cruise or to go on s firing vacation.

HEAVY ‘FOG LAST NIGHT- Chariottetown was blanketed by one of the worst fogs in years last night. So dense was it that traffic was slowed to a standstill with motorists being hardly able to see more than three car lengths in front of them. The City Police patrol kept going continually as they patrolled the City and up to time of going to press had report.- ed "no accidents" in the thick driving. first. the employer was benefited by being able to secure such high- ly qualifiied assistance; second. the applicant was assured of a well-paid, congenial position; and third. s skilled young man or wo- man was retained in the Mari- times. - . Five such offices for the em- ployment of qualified applicants are now scattered across Canada. Col. Ross said. They are located at Moncton. Montre:l,_ Toronto. Winnipeg and Vancouver. The history of the unemploy- ment insurance offices began back in 1911, Col. Ross said. when a form of national employment in- surance was originated in London. England. In IONS-a similar piece of legislation was instituted ‘oy Ottawa. A new and similar piece of legislation was passed in 1930 but later found ultra vires by the Supreme Court of Canada. lfnw- ever on August ‘l, 1040, a new em- ployment act was passed and a number of offices were opened‘ across Canada. In 191d further regulations affecting civilian em- ployment were passed. However. Col. Ross said, the National Selec- tive Service Act is no longer func- tioning. A vote of thanks was tendered Col. Ross by Mayor J. D. Mc- Kenna of Saint John, N. B.

M—(OP)—Prime Minister Attlee charged today that Soviet loaders are building a "wall of ignorance and suspicion" between the Rub- slan P001110 and the rest of the world and said earnestly "we must hope for a change." In on address before tho an- nual convention of the British Trades Union Congress. Mr. Att- lee assailed bitterly the "misrep- resentation" which he said is prac- tised by the “Communists. their dupes and fellow travellers." He accused them of following this standard: . "If 1n any part of the world the Communist Party. by no matter what means, is in power-that is democracy. If anywhere the Com- munists fail-however fair the cc/nditiona—lt ls regarded as Fas- clsm." Apparently stung by e resolu- tion before the T.U.C.—backbone of his Labor Government-criti- cizing Brltlah foreign policy. m. Attiee startled the convention with a denouncement of Soviet policies which closely paralleled Winston Churchill's “lron-curtaln" allega- lions. "It is one of the tragedies of the world situation that the Soviet Government appears deliberately to prevent intercourse between the Russian people and the rest 0f the world." Ml‘, Attlee said. “A wall of ignorance and sus- picion is being built up between the nations. One would have thought that the rulers of Russia. proud of their achievements in peace and war, believing that,tilelr system is the best for the workers, would have welcomed every op- portunity of closer intercourse be- tween the workers. but a contrary policy is followed. . . "We must hope for a chansit- I“ the meantime, wherever it is 110!" si-ble, we must do cur utmost to promote understanding." Mr. Attlee took an unprecedented step in intervening in advance in a T.U.C, debate on iflvfliimeiii foreign policy. The resolution, the only one on foreign affairs, was critical of British policy in Greece. Sm-in and Germany and regretted ihit the "relationship between the So- viet, Union and this country has deteriorated during the past 12 months due to the policy of Anim- American domination. . ." Mr, Attlee assailed the resolu- tion as one “filled with the kind of misrepresentation to which we have become accustomed from the members of the Communist party. their dupes and fellow travellers." In his attack upon the Com- mllnists he declared: "Everyone who does not take his orders from the Communists is described as a Fascist. .. “Thus, an election in Greece which results in an anti-Communist ma- jority is at once denounced. On the other hand a. plebiscite taken where the Communist party la in power is regarded as the sacred voice of the people. "We. as democrats, are not con- cerned to decide for other people how they should vote. We are non- cemed to see that the method of arriving at the conclusion should be lust and fair." Asserting that "we shall coh- tlnue to do our utmost to make the United Nations Organization o success." Mr. Attlee added: "We must. until we have made greater progress in building up a world organization, maintain the armed forces necessary to fulfill our obligations, "We are not following lclfl-sh and imperlallstic aims, but that does not mean that at every point we should concede the claims of others.- "The Government will do its utmost to try to promote harmony in the world, but the task of building on secure foundations the fabric of peace cannot be accomp- lished by the actions of govern- ments alone. There must also be a union of hearts between peo- pies." A discussion of affairs in Greece expected to be one of the most heated on the Congress‘ agenda. came as an anti-climax after the Prime Minister had spoken. The conference adopted without opposition a report by the general council giving "support to the efforts of our present government to find a satisfactory solution of the problems that have arisen in Greece and other liberated oeun- tries."
