BERLIN, March 29 — (AP) The shift in Soviet occupation commanders was interpreted here tonight as a hardening of Russian policy in Germany.

‘Hie Soviet radio announced the appointment of Marshal Vassiiy D. Sokoiovsky, Russian occupation commander in Germany since 194G, as deputy minister of armed forces for the U. B. S. R.

‘rhls is a promotion for the Marshal. It apparently means the Soviet Union endorses his actions in Germany which have split the country and resulted in the Soviet blockade of Berlin.

Futl-ierrnore the change places near the top of the Soviet armed forces a man who is thoroughly experienced in the German situat- ion. in the event Russia contem-

than tripling the 1947 quantity of steel which we are hoping to ex- port tn Canada from our very limited resources, the total dollars we are likely to earn from this would barely purchase at the pre- sent price of timber about 60,000 standards. (1i8.800.000 board1eet). “But. of course. we cannot look at it this way. There are many other Canadian materials and food- stuffs for which that steel and all our other exports are required to pay. With a dollar gap in i948 in our visible trade with Canada of around $00,001,000, we cannot look at this on a simple barter basis. We have got to export much more to Canada before we can think of substantially increasing our im- ports from Canada.

“You might ask why we export steel to other countries insteI-d of to Canada? The answer is that our total shipments of steel to the whole of Europe would represent only ‘a very small contribution to our Canadian deficit.

“European timber and sll our other essential imports from Iiurope are not: paid for by our shipments of steel or other commodities that. our Canadian friends would like; they are paid for by the willing- ness and ability of these markets to take very considerable quantities of other British exports in easier supply.

“Limited supplies of steel are therefore only a very small part of a much iarlel‘ pattern of trade which demands us to sell goods we cannot readily sell in North America and buy a wide range of products which we need.

"So the solution of our Canadian problem is not going to be easy; it is going to depend on all the efforts British industries and ex- porters are making and will have

“Itseemstiome thbisaneut- m! lbw. not. a Dominion drssna festival." ornamented Norman Browne. regional chairman _of the Dominion Drama nstivsi from Regina.

A charge that exclusion of re- gional winners from finals dis; oouraged amateur drama was

made by Moray Sinclair. director of Manitoba's winning play "The Giles Menagerie."

W. Sinclair thought that with- out full representation from all provinces the festival loses its "Dominion" character and be- Elomes a “highly selective competi-

on."

Mr. Speaight saw about 65 plays across Canada and of the in Ca- nadian-wriiien ones. he selected two for the finals. These are "Fortune My Poe," winner of the English Eastern Ontario region which was written by playwright Robertson Davies. editor of the Petevboiougth Examiner, and “Over The Boiler Room" written by William Diribv and produced by the London Little Theatre. The London entry was one of the non-winners in the Western 0n- tario region.

The other two non-winners in regional festivals which were invited were "The Taming of The Shrew" by the Peberborough. Ont. Little Theatre and Moliere's "Les Femmes savantes." bv the cours Francois Rnzet. Montreal.

‘Prom the Maritlmes comes "Emperor Jones." bv Eugene O‘Neili and presented by the

Mount Allison University players. New Brunswick sub-region win- ners. Fleming Gray won the best actor award in this section for his performance in the play. Mar- ian Ellis was beat actress in "Dark Lady‘ of the sonnets."

Two Montreal groups will be represented besides “Les Femmee Savantes." They are the full length presentation of "DIWDBPOY Jones" by the Negro Theatre Guild and Roche's "Phedre" b! the Conservatoire Lssalie.

The Ottawa Drama League will produce Mr. Davies’ “Phi-tune MY Foe" while La Comedic Nouvelle, Ottawa. will do Bernard'< “Na- tionai 6." The Central Ontario region presents "Another Part of n» Forest.” by Ulliln Hellman and presented bv the Player's Workshop. Toronto while. the western section will do Norman xrasnts “John Loves Mary" by the players of Hamilton.

The two western plays to com- pete in the festival are Tbseifs "Hedda Goblet" bv the Workshop i-t of Calvary and “The Glass Menagerie." written bv Tennessee Williams and produced by the VIRBIXHId~PIIYETS of New West- minster. B. C.
