The story, by financial editor Leslie Gould, said: "Truman's decision to seek a

"it seems to me right and proper to ask two simple questions of the soviet representative sitting here with us. To these questions we want no quick debatcrs' answers. instead we would prefer the considered reply of the Soviet government. Here. then. are my two questions:

”l. Is this a time when the Sov- iet government is wllliiig to discuss constructively the subject of dis- armament which thc charter roc- ognlzca is so important for the attainment of conditions of peace?

"2. Is this a forum in which the Soviet representative will negoti- ate wiih his colleagues in order to give tangible form in this particu- lar field to what the soviet rulers say is their 'trled and tested policy of peace?"

New Heavy Aircraft Purchased By

The purchase of a Bristol 170, Mark 31 heavy freighter was an- nounced early this week by Mari- time Central Airways.

The aircraft, shown above. which is of English design and construc- tion, has a. cubic capacity of 2360

74334 't

The aircraft was purchased from the Bristol Aeroplane Company of Canada Limited, and will be used by M.C.A. on its northern opera- tions. The square slded box shaped fuselage, served by nose doors op- erating to the full width oi the

cu. it.. and a. gross weight of 44,000 main hold, enables full use to be

lbs. With a. wing spread of 108 feet and a fuel capacity of 1170 gallons. the aircraft is capable of handling long range operations.

Instruction In Poultry industry

15 student boys and girls who are keenly alive to the possibilities of the Poultry industry are under- going a course of instruction being conducted by inspector Mr. J. B. Arsenault of the Federal Depart-i merit of Agriculture. at the Ex- perimental Farm.

The course. which will be of three weeks duration. deals large- ly with the principles of grading and practical work as well as poul- try raising. Mr. Harry Robins of the Provincial Department 'of Agriculture is associated with Mr. Arsenauit in certain aspects of the school of instruction. which is un- der the auspices of the Depart- ment oi Education Vocational Training and the Federal Depart- ment of Agriculture.

of the increase in the tax rate. The School Board this year sought and received approximately 944,000 more than they did a. year ago.

Councillor MacDonald objected to the yearly increase of the grant to the School Board and the Coun- cil passed a resolution designed to limit the amount which the School Board can spend in the future.

The text or the resolution read "Resolved that this Council repre- sent to the Legislature that the Ar- bitrary limit of expenditures ac- critcd '1 he Charlottetovwn school Board by the School Act as now in- tended to be set do not exceed 3985.-, 000." Councillor P. R. Maccormac voted against the motion.

Councillor-"MacDonald felt that the increases that the school Board were seeking each year were ton large. He approved of the Board spending more to improve the floors and teaching facilities in the schools but doubted the wisdom of the. Board in paying a School Stip- ervisor.

Councillor Frank Storey. Chair- man of the street Committee, sug- gested three ways the City might obtain more revenue in future years. The first was an increase of the revenue within the City itself. the second was the increase in the amount of money received from the Provincial Government and the third was an increase in the taxes received from the Canadian Na- tional Railway.

Seek Higher C. N. R. Payments '

Councillor Storey proposed a res- olution by which the Council would send it delegation to the C.N.R. head office in Montreal to seek higher payments for the railway properties located in Charlotte- town. This would include the Char- lottetown Hotel. The motion was passed unanimously.

One of the strongest objections to the estimated expenditures was raised by Councillor MacDonald on the subject of labor in the Street Department. The Council estimat- ed an expenditure of 310,000 for street labor. Councillor Gormley did not object to the amount of money being paid out for labor but he did raise an objection to the over-lapping of work.

Councillor Storey pointed out that it was necessary to employ 37 men the year round for street work at a total cost of 867,000. In additional it is necessary to hire 40 additional men for four weeks work each summer at an added cost of 55.600 and there is it mis- cellaneous cost of 32,500. Councillor Maccormsck compli- mented the chairman of the street Committee for the work they had done last summer, particularly in Ward Fire.

'Might Suffer Severe Loss

If that happened. the railways might in the meantime suffer "severe" losses. The CPR might latcr ask the board either to fix each category of rates at levels preserving existing revenues. or delay putting in major equaliza- tion measures until the whole plan has been formulated and studied.

The company took exception also to a part of the board plan proposing to wipe out a huge "tri-angle" bounded by Montreal, Windsor and Sault Ste. Marie. Ont. At present. rates from all points in the triangle on goods

going to Western Canada have been the same. Eliminating the triangle, the

CPR said, would destroy the com- petilive position of industries lo- cated in different points in the area. The effect would be felt both in Eastern Canada and the West.

Will Oppose iVfat-ltli-ncs

However, the company said it plans to support the board on two legal actions expected to re- sult from the plan. One of these. it was understood. will be launch- cd by the Marltimes and New- foundland governments. contend- ing they were not given the full rate protection they were entitled to under Parliament's equalization statute of 1951.

The board partly exempted the Maritime: from equalization. ii ruled that rates within the Mar- itimes would be subject to revis- ion.

The second court challenge is expected to come from the West. against the board's decision to re- move in fihold-down” on rates on grain moving eastward from the Prairics to domestic markets. The "hold-down" uses the low stalli- iory "Crow's Nest Pass" rates on export grain as the ceiling for the domestic movement.

" Recalls Last Visit

Of Mr. .l.H. Fletcher

Among the many Island people who read with interest and pleas- ure the contribution of Mr. Mai- colm A. Macquecn to the Guardian Forum yesterday. regarding that noteworthy Islander, Mr. James H. Fletcher, probably no one will re- call more vividly the subject of the letter than Mrs. Charles M. Williams of this city.

Although a very young child at the time, Mrs. Williams remem- bers qulte clearly the visit of her uncle and his wife from California to the home of her parents here. During his stay. Mr. Fletcher, who had gained a reputation as a public speaker in the state of his adoption, well versed in the sub- jects of public interest at the time, was prevailed upon to ad- dress two or more public meet- ings. These meetings were largely attended and took place in the Brick Methodist Church Hall (now Trinity Unitedi.

Mr. Fletcher remained in the Province for about three weeks. visiting places of former interest and meeting old friends, on this the only trip he ever made back to the scenes of his childhood.

lies on the coast of this Province is beginning to be well broken up all the way from Cape Bear to this city with plenty of open water showing, it was reported lastnight by Capt. C. A. Shaw who is is charge of the annual ice patrol conducted from here.

He stated the ice of! Cape Bret-

obseru.-. ins. week. It is not too heavy but is drifting down and might be a nuisance to small ves-

sels.

On this fourth flight yesterday there was not a. great deal change noted excepting that the steamer track is now comparative- ly clear. But the ice which newly formed during the last cold spell has not broken up as quickly as had been expected and for this reason observers srelof the opin- ion that it was thicker than at first believed. It is still not too heavy. but one sealer was observed taking some seals about 12 miles south of Bird Rock in loose ice.
