Speaks Al Meeting 01

LONDON. Jan. 4-(GP)-Prime Minister Attlee told a closed meet- ing of Commonwealth Prime Min- istera today that "war certainly is not inevitable."

At the same time. Prime Minister Nehru of India was reportcd .to have deplored the present world- rccrrriament race as a. threat to peace. and called upon the dele- gates to learn to work with Com- munist China.

A pledge to work for peace came from eight conferees. whose terr- itories cover a quarter of the earth's land. The "vacant chair" confer- ence in 10 Downing street pro- ceeded without the presence of Prime Minister Liaquat All Khan of Pakistan, who has refused to come to London unless the conference discusses the Pakistan-India dis- pute over Kashmir. The attitude here is that no such assurance can be given.

Policy s Objectives V

A British spokesman who, attend- ed this opening session of a 10-day conference said the group laid down three broad policy objectives:

1. ,Maintenance of United Nations authority in world danger spots such as Korea.

2. Unity of the free world.

3. A constructive approach to

world crises, following cer- tain courses of action and avoiding others.

Besides Attlee, those attending

are Prime Minister st. Laurent of Canada, D. S. Senanayake of Cey- lon, Robert G. Menzies of Australia. Sidney (3. Holland of New Zealand, sir Godfrey Huggins of southern Rhodesia and Nehru of India. In- fterior .Minister '1'. Ihynonges of sout.h.,Mtlca l'apire,l,EMa,7.thn.'ail1ng Prime Minister Daniel Malan.

Effects of the Commonwealth split on the Kashmir issue have still to be determined. However. speculation that Pakistan now might leave the Commonwealth seemed premature.

A highly-placed informant said a main aim of the conference is to reach an agreement on the pro- blems of the world situation today. and on possible cures. and so in- crease the Commonwealth's in- fluence in world affairs

Fishing Problems Aired . I At Research Bd. Meeting

0'I'rAWA. Jan. 4 -(GP) -Need for improvement; in Atlantic coast fishing techniques was stressed today before the annual meeting of the Fisheries Research Board.

Dr. A. W. H. Neecller. director of the Atlantic biological station at st. Andrew's. N. B.. urged the im- portance of efficiency in catching methods and high quality of pro- duct.

There is much room for im- provement in fishing methods. he said. adding these could bring about catches at new places and seasons by fishermen.

Dr. Neeriler said one reason for the importance of improvement is the rapidly-increasing number of foreign vessels fishing in the wat- ers off the east coast.

Resume Upward Trend

OTTAWA. Jun. 4 -- (GP) -vLlv- ing costs in Canada. are climbing again.

After a temporary halt in oct- ober, the official cost-of-living in- dex advanced 0.4 points in Novem- ber to an all-time high of 171.1 from 170.7. the Bureau of statistics reported today.

It was the ninth advance in 11 months for the price barometer. The index is calculated on the basis that prices in 1935-30 equalled 100.

With the exception of rents. which were not surveyed. all sub- groups climbed. Prices were higher for dairy products. fruits and veg- etables. footwear, piece goods-. men's and women's wear, liomel'urniIh- ings. coke. health and personal care and rqgreatlon.

Only declines, not sufficient to counteract the advances. were in meats and eggs.

From January to November. the index had marched up 10.1 points to 111.1 from 161.0. The Bureau es- timated that slnce August. 1939, the index has advanced 69.7 r cent.

Among the various su -groups, -

home furnishings and services took the sharpest climb in November, advancing 1.8 points to a record 170.4 from 174.8. Increases were general in this group.

The food group. which carries i-he most weight in index compilation. increased 0.2 points to 318.8 from 110.0. small gains were regislcred for dairy products. fruits and veg- etables. ovarbaiancing declines for meat and eggs.
