O'I'i'AWA. Feb. 00- (CF) -A final diagnosis of the animal dis- ease which has hit the Regina area will not be made before Monday nexit. Federal agricult- ural officials said today.

They hope the infection may turn out to be something less than the dreaded foot-and-mouth disease. However. they are pre- pared for the worst.

Plans already are in the mak- ing in the event veterinarians proclaim the disease to be foot- and-mouth.scourge of the animal world through the centuries.

The disease has hit many parts of the world. but has by- missed Canada. No known case ha; been reported in thLt coun- try and the Agriculture Depart- ment has prevented the possibil- ity of tr-ansmbsion through im- ported animals by long periods of quarantine.

At first. the disease which has hit both pigs and cattle in the Regina area was presumed to be a severe form of infection stom- atltis. which in some ways re- semibles foot. - and - mouth. but which can be cleared without too much hardship. Foot-and-mouth is difficult to eradicate.

Fix-stxtests on the disease plac- ed a. doubt on the diagnosis. and second tests were started. Dr. C. A. Mitchell. head of the Hull Re- search Institute, is eiapected to take part in the new tests after he returns from a scientific con- ference at Quebec City.

Committee-Of Experts Now- Sludying Problem

OTTAWA. Feb. 22 -(OP) -The government-owned Canadian Nat- ional Raliways may soon move into the highway-transport busi- lies: on a big scale.

The company, it was learned here. has a committee of experts at work studying the rallways' No. 1 problem of highway competition. A probable committee recommendat- ion is that the C. N. ZR..'s best way of beating the competition is to get into the bus-truck trade fully itself

Prime Railway Problem

Bus and truck competitors have been making such inroads into railway revenues in recent years that the situation has come to be regarded by authorities as Can- ada's prime railway problem. The road. operators-freight trucks. chiefly-are cutting in on many millions of dollars a year of what used to be rail revenue.

What hits hardest at the rail- ways is that the trucks are spoon- ing off the cream of the business -the so-called "high-rated" traf- fic. This consists of relatively-ex- pensive articles that can absorb high freight rates.

The railways have been losing

Jout on this type of business. large-

ly because trucks are better equip- pcd for fast handling of small quantities for short hauls. The rniiways are left with the compar- atively-unproductive bulk business on heavier and cheaper products.

One aspect of the problem is that it has forced the railways. in an attempt to hang onto their business, to depress rates in areas where road competition is con- centrated. These are largely On- tario and Quebec. The result has been that rail freight rates in other regions-notably the west- hi3.v.e i0.l29.,maiia-hls-h.e.! .49 make up for revenue -deficiencies else- where.

Long Standing Problem

Both the big railways have been worried about the problem for years. The Canadian Pacific Rall- way already is in the highway business on a fairly-large scale in the west, where it has bought a few ions:-distance trucking firms. The C. N. R. has been doing ex- perimenting on a smaller scale.

Government authorities are watching the national line's action on the highway problem. A big C. N. R. move into the highway field probably would call for the en- dorsation of cabinet. since some question of Dominion-Provincial relations would be involved.

The railways now are regulated by the Federal Board of Transport Commissioners. in the trucking field. the C. N .R. would come un- dcr provincial jurisdiction.

However. the Federal Govern- ment expected eventually' to take over control of international and interprovincial trucking in line with El recommendation of the Royal Commission on Transportat- ion a year ago. The timing of the move may depend on the Canad-

ian Nationnl's action in the high- way field.

No Italians For Coal

eat Britain

officihis were advised yesterday,

that mining lodges throughout the country had confirmed their re- fusal to accept Italian miners. lt- alians already in Britain or those on their way will be allowed to re- main, bringing the total employed tiers to approximately 2.000.

The idea of recruiting men from Italy's pool of.2.000.000 nempl0lf- ed had the blessing of the British Government, the Coal Board and the National Union of Minework- ers. The Italians were eager to come, and newspaper accounts in- dicated that those already here worked with a fanatical enthusi-

am.

But nearly all the mining lodges refused. Their reasons seem larg- ely intuitive-o fear of outsiders flooding into the pits and dimin- ishing the bargaining power of scarce labor. a dimly-felt antagon- ism against "foreigners" or ex- eaemies, a brooding among older man over past injustices.

It was even suggested in Parlia- ment that the miners feared the Italians as urenading Latin lovers. This brought such a howl from the minoi-a' leader that the mem- bsr of Parliament who brought up the question promptly apologised. The irony of the situation is that Britain hasn't enough miners of her own. and that coal is the big-

, T W5 factor in her economy.

London S-tuirce Says Aug. 1 Being Suggested

LONDON, Feb. H -(OP) - The coronation of Queen Elizabeth It probably will take place in early August, Reuters news agency re- ported tonight.

it said it learned from reliable sources that Aug. 7-A Thursday -will be suggested by court offic- ials to the young Queen.

If she approves. her coronation this summer would be the first time in 225 years that a British sovereign has been crowned the same year he or she succeeded to the throne.

Thui-sdays have been popular in the past for coronaiions. Queen Victoria. William IV and George IV all chose that day. So did Ed- ward VII. but illness postponed his coronation.

There is no official reason why Thursday should be particularly suitable for coronations. But there are several good unofficial ones.

For one. Thursday is a. half- holiday in London and most parts of Britain. Thus a coronation held tiien would not interfere with the country's battle to increase pro- ductlon.

Also, the glittering pageantry of a coronation coming in August, the height of the summer season, would bring thousands of tourists to Britain.

There were signs that the cor- onation was discussed today when the Queen held the second Privy Council meeting of her reign.

Among those present was Dr. Geoffrey Fisher. the Archbishop of Canterbury. who. as head of the Church of England. places the crown on the head of the hionarr-h

Others attending were: The Queen's husband. the Duke of Edinburgh: Lord Wooiton. lord president of the council; sir David Maxwell I-Tic. the home secretary; James Stuart. secretary of state for Scotland, and sir Alan Lascel- Ics. the Queen's private secretary All will be closely connected with the coronation.

Head Of Bri

LONDON. Feb. 22 -fAP)- Stcvcn Hnidlc, millionaire chief of. Britain's nationalized iiiccl in- dustry, resigned in n llllfi.' today over the Conservative Govern- ment's plans to deal with mount- ing costs of steel production.

1-lai-die. 85 and a socialist, was given his t15.000-a-year job when the steel industry was taken over from private owners by the Labor Government last year.

In a letter to Supply Minister Duncan saiidys, Hardie said in- creased costs should be taken out of the profits from steel. He said he was resigning because of "the governments decision to increase maximum prices of iron and steel."

The government said in is brief statement following the publica- tion of I-Iardie's letter. however, it was not decided to raise the prices -and the issue still is under con- sideration. ,

But the government has let it be

known that the high cost of steel imported from the United states will be paid by a levy on British steel-makers. Hsrdie told sandys. Prime Min- ister Churchill's son-in-law. "Tiic divergence between us is such that there is little prospect of reaching that basis of contructlve and har- monious working which I had hop- ed we might attoln."
