Sriiator Euler. a member of the Mackenzie King cabinet from 1926 to 1930 and from 1935 to 1940. re- iterated an opinion he expressed prCl'll)usly in the Upper Chamber that tfommunii China should be m-ognizcd by Canada and the United Nations.

A third world war in the .atomic ago would mean destruction of tll'llllall0n. Because of this, the senator said, "we should avoid own the slightest risk of getting into a holocaust which would de- stroy the world."

The former trade minister said that in foreign policy matters Can- ada is too prone to follow the lead of the U. S.

"I think that Canada's influence upon United Sta;es' policies and actions is practically negligible."

Canada would have followed the example of the United Kingdom and . cognized Communist Chins "if it had not been that she feared the displeasu c: of the Uifited Slates."

LONDON, (AP)-Prime Minist- er Churchill said Thursday he still favors top-level Big Four talks with the Russians, but made clear that Britain intends to push ahead with rearmlng West Germany first. c

He spoke in the House of Com- mons as the British ambassado in Moscow, Sir William Hayter. carried out secret negotiations aimed at a Formosa cease-fire.

The Churchill governrnent hopes the accords to free and renrm the West Germans will be through tits- parliamentary mills ofinll nine na- tions involved within a couple of months.

That about 260 people will re- ceive assistance under the Dis- abled Persons Allowance Act was the opinion expressed by Hon. B. Earle MacDonald. Minister of Health and Welfare. when the House went into committee yes- terday to consider the bill which with minor amendments was ap- proved after two and one-half hours of discussion.

The Minister said that there were 500 applications filed for assistance under the Act but that only about half of these would be recipients. This proportion of the population was higher than in Ontario where out of a popula- tion of 4,500,000 there were only 6.000 receiving pensions under the Act.

”The Act states that the per- son recelving benefits must be totally and permanently disabled." said Mr. MacDonald: who felt that a good number in Charlotte- town would benefit thereunder. He explained that after the ap-

Power needs of the U. S. should not be the criterion "when we de- cide what to do with our natural resources," Mr. Lesage said.

He read a section from the EC.- Kaiser agreement which would guaraniee B. (' 20 per rent of ad- ditional power generated at Bonne- ville. Idaho. by possible additions to the Arrow lakes dam in later years.

NOT A SIG NATORY

Mr. Lesage said the U, S. fed- eral power commission owns and operates Bonneville and decides how its power will be allotted. But the power commission was not a signatory to the agreement.

”There is no guarantee at all," he said. All B. C. would get out; of the agreement would be a small cash payment.

Mr. Lesage was speaking during Commons debate on a bill which would give the federal government stricter control over use of inter- national rivcr waters.

The bill also would enable the federal government to block the B. C.-Kaiser contract.

John Blackmore (SC - Leth- hridilel said the B. C.-Ottawa dis- pute over the Kaiser agreement presented a "dangerous situation." The federal government could override the province but in so do- ing it would destroy the Dominion.

He maintained the Kaiser agree- ment is "iron-clad" and that it was worked out very carefully. B. -C.iwould get 31,000,000 "clear profit" annually from Kaiser to help reduce the provincial debt.
