Salted Frocluction Ag fire-War levels

Gain Results From less Fresh And frozen Products

By GEORGE RONALD (Canadian Press Staff Writer) WASHINGTON, Aug. 28 ~ (CP)

._ Production of salted fish, part- icularly cod, i-:. back to pre-war levels, the food and agriculture or- ganiziltion of the Unitcd Nations said tonight.

In i943 and i944, FAO. said in releasing a 196-D8gc review of the sailed fish industry, output was only about one-third of the ever- Age in the immediate pro-war years. Main reason for the decline was the divcrsion to fresh and fro- zen products.

"However, by 1047. salted fish production was buck to the‘1938 volume. Total production for that year war 250,000 tons. somewhat more than the high 193B produc- tion. The 1948 world figure is some 40,100 tons lcss than in 1947."

Many countries are cxpanding their fishing capacity and landings are likely to increase further, F.A.O. said.

"If the present ekpanded mer- kcts for fresh and frozen products contract. some of the raw mater- ial now being utilized in these forms will be processed as salt and dried fish. and so add further to the substantial qiiantiiies which are already being produced."

Canada, Norway, Iceland and the Fame Islands are the salt-cod countries whose industry is based entirely on exports; France, Port- ugal and Spain produce mainly for domestic markets.

Newfoundland. now a Canadian province, produced 25 per cent of the world's total from 1920 to 1939.

ilousing May Be Main Issue

OTTAWA, Aug. 28—-(CP)— The housing problem may be one of the major problems discussed by the cabinet at its next meeting Wednesday.

Reconstruction Minister Winters has returned to the capital after a cross-country tour during which he had interviews with the pre- miers of all provinces.

On his return Saturday, Mr. Winters said he will hsve some wcimmendatlons to make to the cabinet.

Mr. Winters said that as a re- sult of his tour he feels there is e closer understanding of the housing problems facing the var- ious governments.

"I received the greatest co-oper- ation throughout my tour." he said.

Mr. Winters said that the prob- lem of stimulating home owner- ship was paramount in the minds of most of the provincial govern- ment officials he had met.

While provision of low rental housing entered the picture, the muin concern appeared to be the arrangement of means under which the average worker could purchase a home.

A reduction in the down pay- ment prospective home owners have to make appeared to be de- slrable. At present the down pay.- ments of $1,000 and more‘ are con- sidered too high for most people. éThe-‘problem isto act the down

. payment within reach of the aver-

age worker.

Mr. St. Laurent has indicated the Federal Government will be prepared to make fairly large grants to the provinces and muni- cipalities on housing projects which they are prepared to ed- minister.

Anti-Communist Landsl of Southeast Asia Brace To Meet “Red” Threat ,

By MILTON MARMOR

The anti-Communist lands southeast Asia are bracing milit- arily for whatever may come when Chinese Communism presses again-st their borders.

Britain and France do not ex- pect an invasion in the olcl sense, but they have built up their arm- ed strength for any contingency and their eyes are on Hung Kong and the northern borders of In- do-China.

in the offing, It may be a delayed one but within a few months. per- haps even weeks. after Canton is in Communist hands, the next moves of Red leader Mao Tze-‘Ihlng of China should be in the making. What military strength can southeast Asia present in the face of the advance of Communism? Security cloaks exact figures but the best sources indicate that Britain and France are ready for the invasion-by-iniiltration which most observers consider likely. The prize at stake is one of the

the fertile rice lands China. Burma and gsiam); the rubber Malaya; the varied richness of Indonesia, and the trade of l-lomg Kong and Singapore.

Of the 130,000,000 persons in the area, about 10,007,000 are Chinese. Not all are Communists, of course. but almost all have ties with their homeland which ls rapidly falling into Communist hands.

Communist influence in many of these groups.

Britain is confident she can hold the crown colony of Kong Kong indefinitely, even against an out- right invasion.

Indo-Ohina is perhaps an even more critical focal point than Hong Kong. Here, too, the threat of an actual invasion is minimized but the French are ready. India-Chinese Nationalists are led by Moscow- trained Ho Chi Minh. His forces control most on the northern prov- ince of Tonkin which borders on China. At present the Nationalists’ war with the French is s stand- off.

Thailand (Siam), an independ- ent country, has no Nationalist fever because it has freedom. It is well off financially and rich in food.

In Burma, six or more separate armic-s are fighting all over the revolt-torn land. The government seems to be getting the upper hand militarily. but its political situa- tlon is not too secure.

Britain is in full control of Mal- aya despite sporadic depredations by Communist guerrilla units.

SYDNEY, Australia, Aug, 28- (CH-“Where are the people? For God's esko, where the the people?” shout/oil the pilot of a Royal Australian Air Force Catalina which today flew over the flooded areas on the northern coast of New South Wales.

Already five persons are known to have lost their lives and there are grave fears for the safety of hundreds more in Kempsey Town- ship, where 200 square miles is covered by 2b feet of raging water from the MacLeny River.

The pilot of the R.A.A.F. air- craft reported that in one 81'0"? of 50 houses only eight persons could be seen huddled on the roofs. The swirling waters made contact impossible.

He said huge areas, where the fate of hundreds of small farm- ers is not known, have not even treetops, telephone poles or roofs showing above the flood.
