Canada Keeps Out Of Asian Pact. Indo-China War ~

OTTAWA. (GP) -— Canada has made it plain to its allies that it does not intend to participate In a southeast Asia pact or become Involved. for the present at least, In the Indo-China war.

Officials said Friday the govern- ment believes it has extended it- self as far as possible in making overseas commitments. The armed forces now are heavily committed in Europe and increased attention is being paid to continental de- fence.

It is understood here that when the 25th Canadian Brigade is eventually moved. out of Korea, it won't be moved anywhere but home.

Thoiigh the government doesn’i want to enter the current dispute between the United Kingdom and the l'nited states. officials say privately that the 1'. S. would be silly to go ahead with a Southeas: Asia part nivhout. Britain.

Britain doesn't “ant to begin lormation of A Southeast Asia anil-

Communist pact until after the Geneva conference at least. The Canadian government agrees with the \‘ir~\v and believes that Aus-

tralia and New 7.(-nland rniildnt be enthusiastic about a Southeast Asia alliance with Britain excluded.

Poiah Growers In M. Disturbed nusnmm

0'I'I‘AWA, (Special) — Potato growers of British Columbia are deeply disturbed over the competi- tion they are forced to meet from .ﬂ1'0wera of California and other Parlllr coastal states. They have voiced their anxiety over this con- dition to F. G. J. Hahn. Social Credit member for New Westmin- ister and asked him to approach the federal government on the Is. sue.

British Historian Says _ChurcIiiI| Confused Omdrs.

LONDON. (AP)-—An official Brit- ish historian says in the first volume of his sea history of the Second World War, published Wed- nesday that, Prime Minister Churchill fired off too many mes- sages at British sea commanders and confused them.

Capt. S. W. Roskill of the Royal Navy writes that Churchill's mes- sages increased the navy‘.-i difficul- ties. especially during the hard- iought Norwegian campaign. One flag officer protested he had been given three different objectives.

“Many of the signals sent dur- ing such periods bear the unmis- takable iiiiprint of his language and personality. Admit-able though their purpose and intentions were, it now appears plain that they sometimes confused the conduct of operations and increased the dif- ficulties of the commander In chief."

When the Royal Navy was seek. ing to block Hitlr-r‘s seizure of Nor- way in April. 1940. Churchill was first lord of the admiralty. A month later he suvccedt-d Neville

ment was told Wednesday that Toronto's ﬁnancial intoroata will benefit from the decloion to tap Quebec’: rich Ohibougainau min- ing area with a rail am from the west. - Transport Minister Ohevrior re- ported that the argument ta fal- lacious and that there in no doubt be linked by rail with Lako at. John to tho out.

The Commons dobato centredon a bill authorizing construction of a 204-mils lino of the Canadian National Railway: to develop the mineral and forest. wealth of the Chibougamau District. some 260 miles northwest of Quobec city.

Members alao dealt with legisla- tion amending the Veteran: Land Act, providing for vocational train- ing of disabled civilian and con- tinulng the powers of transport control for movement of bulk com- moditiea.

TORONTO TRIBUTARI

Tho CNR rail lino will extend in an are from Beattyvillo. near Abi- tibi on the border of northern on- tarlo, northeast of Chibougamau and then southeast. to st. Felicien. on the west side of Lake St. John at the head of the Saguenay val- ley.

The railway bill was given aeo- ond reading——approval in principle.

Howard Green (PC~Vancouver- Quadrai said the decision may make Chlbougamau a tributary of Toronto's financial interests. Nor- anada, where Chibougamau ores would be amelted, was linked di- rectly by rail with Toronto.

He was joined by several Que- bec membera from the Lake St. John area in urging that both rec- tions-—not the western aectIon—be built at the same time.

Paul Gagnon (Ind.-Chicoutimi) said that if the western aection is built first “you will have a railway started at the wrong end, whose usefulness will beneﬁt the ﬁnan- ciers of Toronto first and the peo- ple of Quebec later."

CHI-ZVRIER BLASTS CRITIC!

Mr. Chevrier accused critics of the plan with playing politics.

“This isn't a. political question It is a question of economics. pure and simple."

The CNR traffic had guarantees for aix years on the western sec- tion of 30,000 cords of pulpwood a year and a daily average of 325 tons of ore concentrates. There were no traflic guarantees for me eastern section.
