WASHBNGTON, Jan. 8 -(AP) -President Truman declared to- day that "we will fight, if fight we must" to block the iihreat of world conquest by Russia.

In a rousing 3,500-word speech, heard by millions over radio and television networks. including the trans-Canada network of the CBC, Truman called for a vast United States mobilization effort, capable of producing 50.000 planes and 35,- 000 ian'ks a year if needed.

Soiemniy, he pledlged that the United States will forsake neither Western Europe nor other free na- tions in the struggle against Red aggression.

He said more money, a "major" tax increase and a bigger draft of manpower will be needed to prepare for the possibility of "a full-scale war."

Truman was addressing a joint session o.' Congress in his annual ”sfaie-of-tthe-union" message, so called because the U.S. constitu- tion imposes upon the President the obligation of reporting to the Congress from time to time on the state of the union.

He declared:

"We are preparing for full war- time mobilization, if that should be necessary.

LONDON, Jan. 8 - (CP) -- The main struggle in the world today is between "the new Commimfst im- pertalism, directed from Moscow, and the forces of freedom and civ- ilization both in the East and in the west," Prime Minister St. Laur- ent said tonight.

"It is not a struggle between East and west, but between liberty and army," the Canadian Prime Min- ister told a distinguished audience at a dinner given by the Canada Club. "It is as much a part of Communist aims to weaken and divide the independent nations of Asia as it is to weaken and divide the Western Powers."

Common Peril

"That is why all manbers of the Commonwealth. Western and Asian. share a common peril, and in meet-

.ing it rely upon ideals which are

common to us all."

Among more than 500 guests were other Commonwealth Prime Minis- ters in London to confer on prob- lems of mnplre concern, members of the British Cabinet and other prominent personalities, Two form- er Canadian Governors-General - the Earl of Athlone and Lord Bess- bomugh-'were among the guests.

Freedom everywhere in the world seemed to be in Jeopgdy today but hot or cold, not one untry in the IMO world wanted any kind of war, St. Laurent said in his first Pliblic speech in Britain since he became Canadian Prime Minister in i948.

"Certainly no nation in the Com- monweorth of nations wants war. We have no aggressive designs m

Reds Conlhtue Rapid Pursuit Of ll. Mforces

TOKYO, Jan. 9- (Tuesday)' - (AP) - The retreating Eighth Army abandoned two important towns on east and west sides of the front in South Korea Mon- day while Allied warplanes took a heavy toll of the invading Chinese and Korean Commun- ists.

In the west, Osan. almost 80 miles south of the 38th parallel and 28 miles below Seoul, was given up without a fight. It lg on the old "heartbreak highway" down which Americans and South Koreans first retreated before the North Korean invaders last July.

In the east, United Nations troops quit the burning road and rail hub of Wonju after a va- liant delaying action that brought time for preparation of defences farther south.

More than 1.750 Reds were esti- mated killed. wounded or captur- ed in ground actions and air strikes during Monday.

Pilots reported the roads south and southeast of Seoul and north of Wonju were jammed with Reds pursuing the Eighth Army southward.

MacArthur clearly was whip- ping up the speed of the fallback in the west before the Reds could short-circuit the U. N. life-line along the Taejon-Taegu corridor. 85 miles south of Wonju.

Suggests How To Meet Defence Costs

MONTREAL, Jan. 0--(OP)-An increase in working hours, expans- ion of the labor force and replace- ment od obsolete machinery were suggested today by W. F. Holding, president of the Canadian Manu- facturers' Associati , as methods of helping to meet the costs of the new defence program, and assist in de- featlng inflation.

The view was expressed in a letter sent to Prime Minister St. Laurent. now in Britain. in when the C.M.A. president suggested that Government , " t should "put a premium and not a brake on maxi- mum oduction of all kinds," and that e policies should "curb in- stead or add to, the current in- flatten."

The C.M.A. recognized the need for increased revenues to pay for the rearmament program. and also the need for meeting the threat of further inflation. Mr. Holding said. There was also the point that re- armament and the defence problem. "is likely to continue to confront. the fires countries of the world for I long time," calling for policies of a long-term nature rather than few stop-gap methods, he said.

It was essential, he added, that Canada's policy, therefore, should be to achieve maximum pr fuction, for, in proportion as the productive capacity of the country is increased the" taxation burden will be light- ened.

Rebuilding Plans Prepared For Siside Marine Wharf

Plans have been prepared for rebuilding of the Summerside Marine wharf and the erection of another frost proof warehouse. The Guardian learned yesterday from Mr. J. Watson Macllaught. MP. The work will be proceeded with unless the international sit- uation should cause a reduction in government expenditures of this type.

Mr. MacNaught. was questioned on the matter as the result of a resolution passed at the last regu- lar meeting of the Summerside Board of Trade asking that this be done. The resolution stated that the wharf is now in an unfit con- dition and that if it were put in proper condition greatly increased shinning would result.

Mr. MacNaught said that the Federal Department of Public Works is fully aware of the neces- sity of the work and has agreed that it is 9. project which should be included in the estimates for 1961. Plans have been prepared and .speclfieationI are now in the course of preparation.

Mr. MaacNaughg explained, how- ever. that estimates..of this mag- nitude must of necessity go before the Treasury Board which will have the final say as to whether a project of this nature. and one in which a large quantity of steel will be used, should he proceeded with during the present world crisis.

It is proposed to use inter-loclo ing steel piles instead of wooden piles as at present.-S.

Eiseniioueiiiolds Talks Wihrfrench

PARIS, Jan. 8 --(AP) -Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower got down to brisk talks with the French today on just what they are going to do to help defend the W'est against any push from the East.

American military sources said the answers he get help support the Generars belief that the At- lantlc community can build an international army to defend Western Europe. It was believed

the French pledged immedia-te transfer of their three divisions now in Germany and Austria to

the Eisenhower command.

Accompanied by his diief strategist, Lt.-Gen. Alfred M. Cvruenth:-r and two French officer translators. the General held a 10- minute talk with Premier Rene Pleven and another one of 10 min- utes with Foreign Minister Robert Schuman.

Agcncc France-Presse described the luncheon as "without doubt the shortest ever seen in official cir- cles."

After four hours at the Defence

Ministry, Eisenhower refused to comm it. An authorised source said f'.all the plpblems of defend- ing 'vEiiT0pG," were discussed. - -'i3hc.1I'rcneh National Assembly tonhht. reiterated its support for Premier Plcven's 32.100.000.000 re- armament ,. ,, for 1951 by a 333-tolai vote of confidence.

houses the

breakwater and flooded more than so feet away from shoreline.

The tide, whipped to abnormal heights by the recent storm, smash- ed against the 300 foot breakwater throughout Sunday night and yes- terday. By four o'clock yesterday afternoon the front and top of the breakwater had given away and was described by fishermen as. being in a useless condition. ;

The first home to be evacuated belonged to a widowed woman, Mrs. Alfred Plneau, who with her six children were forced to leave their home at 2:30 P. M. with the water as high as the oven in the kitchen stove.

About an hour later, Mr. and Mrs. George S. Plneau with their three children had to leave their home. Mrs. Pineau, the former Cecelia Pineau of Charlottetown, took her youngest child, three-year old Carol Anne, to her parenis' home in the City.

Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Gallant left their house when the water had covered the kitchen floor. Nearby neighbors Mr. and Mrs. Paul C. Gallant evacuated when the water reached the floor of their l1igh-lcv- el home.

Fishing shanties near the shore were submerged in four or five feet of water and one of them floated off its blocks. Most of the fishing boats, stowed away on blocks few: the winter season, were swept from their moorings.
