By DOUGLAS HOW

Canadian Pres Staff Writer

OTTAWA. Sept. 1-Prime Min- ister St. Laurent and his top polit- ical foe both held out high hopes today that the west's swift and

iiougn lT'aCtl0n to Korea may ban-

ish war for a long time to come.

Mr. St. Laurent said the next l0 months should tell whether gen- eral war will come. He was con- fident that in that time the West could demonstrate it can put down Iggrcssion and that "a long period or ahaencc of war" will follow.

George Drew. Progressive Con- servativc leader. encouraged by his trip to Europe. said: "I have very great hope today...we may well be coming to freedom's riii-.iii.i.'; hour."

Express Crltlclsns

But both Mr. Drew's party and the C.C.F. formally disagreed with Mr. St. Laurent's contention that

that the Government has failed to provide adequately for the de- fence of Canada and failed to take steps to deal with inflation and the rapidly rising cost of living.

M. J. Coldwcll, C. C. F. leader. incorporated that amendment and added to it the charge that the Government has not used price controls and subsidies on essential goods to meet inflation.

Mr. St. Laurent's reply was that it will be for the House to say whether the Government. once it has brought down its full pro- gram, has done enough. He said the Government does not feel it should at this stage invade pro- vincial jurisdiction to impose a general system of wage and price

Prime msier Says Delailsi Being Prepared

Prime Minister St. Laurent said to- day in the Commons that meas- ures to fight inflation in Canada will be announced during the cur- rent speclal session.

He did not elaborate. but made clear that they would not entail a general system of ccntrcils on wages and prices, normally in the field of provincial jurisdiction.

, Living Costa Up Mr. St. Laurent spoke shortly af- ter the Bureau of Statistics an- nounced that living costs during July, for the sixth time this year, had climbed to a record high.

The July increase was pushed up by higher costs for meat, eggs, sugar, coffee, footwear. piece good! telephone rates in eastern Canada and coal and cake in Ontario and Quebec.

This boosted the cost-of-living index one point from ms to 168.6 -- the highest level in Canada's history. The index is calculated on the basis that 1935-39 prices equal 100. .

Mr. st. La.urent'a statement ap- peared to amend one previously made in reply to atanlcy Knowles (OCR -- Winnipeg North Centre) during the question period at House opening, '

Mr. Knowles had asked if Mr.'sl. Laurent could say whether "it is the intention of the Government at this session to present any mea- sure deallns with the control of prices?" ,, V or stir,-strruurent retinas ” ,' ',

UITAWA. Sept. 1-George Drew. Progressive , Conservative leader. said today in the Common that never before have the democracies been so outnumbered in trained men and in weapons of war as at present.

Resumlng debate on the address in reply to the Speech from the Throne, Mr. Drew said it is cati-

In 1939 the strength of the Axis powers was small compared with the Russian ground strength of today. ,

Islands, Sept. 1 -(OP) -St. John's was a mass

of wreckage tonight following I fierce six-hour beating by the worst hurricane ever to sit this Caribbean colony.

Today's hurricane, coupled with an earlier Aug. in storm and a. series of fires stretching over 2. month, left this capital of 10,000 residents littered with iallen buildings. wrecked fences and. galvanised roof sheeting.

Everywhere, downed , 9 lines made traffic difficult, and communication with many parts of the island was 1111110511131!-

Three persons were missing fol- lowing today's storm but no death! were reported immediately. Damage was estimated at well over the s1.ooo.ooo mark. Thousands were homeless, adding to the already acute housing situ- ation caused by the earlier stor-in.

one wholesale merchant estim- ated his loss of foodstuffs at 89.- doo ind a private family reported property damage of 3100.000. i '

Three crow memibem were miss-

between Prince Edward Island and the mainland, I desire to di- rect a question to the Minister of Transport. Is not the Federal Government instead of the Canad- ian Na-tlonal Railways responsible for the breach of the union con- -tract of 1873 made between Prince Edward island and the Dominion of Canada, and for the tie-up of Government-owned steamers op- eratlng between Prince Edward Island and the mainland?"
