But in spite of the shortcomings of the Security Council, “we in this country continue to believe that the best hope for mankind lies in the establishment of a world Orilanization for the maintenance 0f peace.” he added.

The minister said he spoke "with reserved optimism," and that “we in Canada regard our membership in the United Nations not as a tem- Pflrsry expedient but as a perm- anent partnership."

“At the same time, we are con-

scious of the effort which must be made to offset the danger in which this partnership lies." v Mr. St. Laurent said the govern- ment has informed other members of U.N. that. she is a candidate for the Security Council.

Packers’ Strike Settlement Remote As Ever

(By The Canadian Prcfl)

One of the worst meat short- ages in Canada's history was .ln prospect today as the strike by the United Packi ghouss‘ Workers oi America (C.I. .) continued to spread in cities across the Dom- inion.

Almost 11.000 of the 14.000 employees oi the meat-‘packing industry's "blg three" had walkdl out by last night. Strike votes by the remaining 3.000 were ex- pected to be completed by Mon- day at the least.

n .

Settlement possibilities appar- ently were as remote as ever. but there was a new appeal-from the Canadian Congress oi Labor- to the eight provinces affected by the strike to waive their jurisdic- iiCiIlEli rights and vest them in the Dominion Government.

Norman s. Dowd. ~C.C.I... execu- tive secretary. made public s. tel- egram sent to the provinces by Pat. Conroy, secretary-treasurer oi the powerful labor organization.

“We are going to insist on a Dominion-wide settlement of this matter." Mr. Dowd added.

Acting Permier Fines of Sask- atchewan already has announced that his government is willing to waive its rights.

An Ontario Labor Department bid for. settlement was to be sub- mitted to the U.P.W.A.’s striking locals within the next few days but there was almost no hops that the membership would ac- cept it.

The proposal is for the strikers to return to work pending arbit- ration or conciliation of the wage

Ottawa Doin Possible

"In the matter of obtaining markets abroad for our products, in the matter of conservation of American dollars. and in the mat- ter oi control oi prices, the Gov- ernment has done everything hu- manly possible to keep conditions in this country on a sound econ- omic basis." said Rt. Hon. J. Ii. Iisley, Minister of Justice. Ottawa. in a luncheon address here yes- terday.

Countering recent criticism by Hon. John Bracken, Progressive Conservative leader. that the Gov- ernment had been remiss in these things, he added: "We did that throughout the war. we have been unremitting in our vigilance dur- ing the war. and we are in a position to look forward with great confidence to the future.

"The negotiations that are go- lng on with other countries," Mr. Iisley argued. “cannot be carried on in a glass house. We cannot tell publicly what we are doing. but. we feel that the people have sufliclent confidence in the Gov- ernment to realize that everything that can be done is being done."

Mr. Iisley spoke as guest of honour of the Queen's County Liberal Association at a well-at- tended function at The Charlotte- town. Premier J. Walter Jones presided. Hon. F. A. Large, At- torney General. introduced the Minister. who was subsequently tendered a vote oi thanks on motion of Hon. William Hrhes, Provincial Treasurer. seconded by Hon. W. ll‘. A. Stewart. Minister of Agriculture.

Others present included Senator J. E. Sinclair, Senator B.W. Inb- inson. Messrs. J. Lester Douglas. MP. J. Watson MacNaught, M. ital; writ. sariwllnenonaid. ‘CXOCU e members of the Associ- ation and a number of leading Liberals from Summerslde and other centres as well as Char- lottetown,

The Dollar Problem

“The United States and the United Kingdom-the two coun- tries we deal with the most-are passing through puzzling times,“ Mr. Iisley said. “This terrible dollar problem-how to get suffic- ient American dollars to enable them to buy the goods they re- quire, to live on, is one of Brit- ain's greatest difficulties.

"In addition. they have a very serious problem about production, for example in the recent miners’ strike resulting in a delay in the production of coal which is af- fecting the industrial fabric of the United Kingdom, and causing further increase in prices.

"The United States‘ does not seem to have any serious produc- tion problem. There has been a phenomenal growth in that re- spect, and this applies to Canada as well. But they have the

Justice Minister Claims

tremely serious one. I was told yesterday that steak was selling in New York at $1.30 a pound. Food prices are going to enorm- ous heights, causing great diffi- culties for the wage earners es- pecially.

"In addition the United States has to be very careful or it will be up against a serious market- ing problem; because unless they give their surplus away they will be obliged to do something to see that the countries in which they market their export goods are able to buy them.

“In Canada, to a lesser degree. we have similar difficulties. not of our own making. We too are los- ing our American dollars very rapidly, and we too are encount- ering continued upward pressure on our price levels. This pressure is being counteracted successfully. we are told, but. nevertheless it is there, and must be guarded against.

“We also have our problem of markets abroad. In August. in my own constituency (Dlgby- Annapolis-Kings) we were told that the British could not take any of our apples this year at all, because they hadn't the dollars to pay for them. If it had not. been for the vision of long-term con- tracts for many of our other com- modltles needed in the United Kingdom. I have no doubt that marketing difficulties abroad would be still more terious.”

Income & Employment

"The first thing that a Govern- ment should concern itself with economically." the Minister said. "is keeping the national income. mtipnpl;-_,prqgg;gign _ and national eniplb fit,‘ at a high level. Judged by these things the pol- icies of this Government have been extraordinarily successful.

all. "We had made all sorts of

plans for public works to furnish employment, because with a mil-

Premier Jones Comments Upon Packers’ Strike t

Speaking at the annual meeting 0f the East Prince Liberal Associ- ation in Sumimerside yesterday Premier J. Walter Jones had some- thing to say about the Packers strike which has closed Canada Packers plant in Charlottetown.

“The strike of Packers in Ohar- lottetown must concern you farm- ers." he said. “it is a serious situ- ation. I wouldn't care. in the heat of the strike. to make any remarks, but the Federal Government has made health laws whereby tilierc

must be a doctor in the plants, and farmers can't butcher meat themselves but must scnd their

products to the packing plants. “Then they go out on strike, they want more money; vacation and rest periods. They won't let us put anything in and we can't take any- thing 'out. They have us ‘stymied’. “Before there werc packing plants we got along. I guess we will have to fi-nd some pig sticker and go to work."

"I anticipate you men will get excited about this strike and bother

consideration and will value your advice. I received a lung telegram from Pat Conroy and i don't in- tend to answer it."
