The proposed trans -Canada highway will almost certainly be run from Borden through what is known as the Bradford and Big Clear toads to the Tryon road, Hon. G-H. Barbour, Minister of Public Works and Highways in- formed a Guardian representative yesterday. Alternative routes had been carefully considered by the Government, Mr. Barbour said, but it has now been practically decided to follow the above men- tioned route.

This ‘Will involve acquiring a section of land between Borden and the Cape ‘Traverse road on the southern side of the railway line. The new road, he stated, will greatly facilitate traffic between Albany and Victoria, Tryon and adjoining centres and will have special advantages in the matter of winter snow clearance.

The Department hopes to make is start on the trans-Canada high- way with Federal assistance next year.

Other Bonds

The warren Paving Company are at work on the Wood Islands Road, in readiness to begin pav- ing operations next year. The Charlottetown end of this road will be treated this summer with an asphaitlc coating to allay the dust nuisance.

Asphalt is‘ also being applied on bhe road from Miilvlew to Eldon. and it is proposed to treat the Bunbury Road‘ in the same man- ner.

Referring to road work gener- ally, Mr. Barbour stated that in practically all of the fifteen electoral districts, tractors, grad- ers and maintainers are in serv- ice. In addition there is a tract- or, bulldozer and grader in each County employed in widening, ditching and gravelling projects.

Purchase

22 Canadian Planes

. ByAian Harvey

LONDON. July 2i —- (C P) — Twenty-two North Stars built in Canada by Canadian labor will be purchased for British Overseas Airways Corporation in n ‘empor- sry abandonment of the contro- versial "fly British" policy, the House of Commons was informed today.

George Lindgren, parliamentary secretary to the Ministry of Avi- ation, said it was with "great re- gret" that the Government had authorised purchase of the four- engined, Montreal-built North Stars to bridge a gap between now and 1953 when new. improved British aircraft are expected to be reldy for service.

The Canadian rnstchines will rs- pleco Tudors on Empire and At- luntic routes.» Describing trials of the Tudors as "unexpectedly dis- appointing." Lindgrm said that B. O.A.C.'| 10 ‘Tudors will be trans- ferred to British-South American

"the i-fandiey-Page

Airways Corporation in enable B.

_._ O.A.C. to operate a unified fleet.

Lindgren said the Canadian purchase was merely to fill tem- porary needs and didn't represent a permanent departure from the fly-British policy.

Simultaneously. in I lengthy de- bate in the House of lords. Lord Pskenham, Minister of Civil Avi- ation, acknowledged that British civil aviation faces n "black pros- pect” during the next four or five years.

Advanced British types expected by 1953 included the Dehsvillsnd Comet, the Bristol Brsbnson, and Marathon but until’ then. the l-iandley-Page Hermes. expected by mo. was the only new type in prospect.

Behind the two debates was the problem whichlflritish newspapers said had led Government minist- ers into n "valley of indecision"—- whether to pay ocsrce dollars for more economic aircraft or to con- tinue to operate aircraft which had been demonstrated unecono- mic.

Moderate iiightist Asked T0 Form New French G0v’t

By LOUIS NEVIN

PARIS, July 2-1 -— (AP) -—Pres- ident Aurlol called today 9n Andre Marie, a moderate rightist who almost died in a Nazi con- centration camp, to form a new French Government if he can.

The lean 50-year-old Marie, o Radical socialist, announced he would seek a “government of re- publicans," excluding Communists and de Gaullists. Howevfl‘, there were strong indications he would encounter serious difficulties in mustering the necessary 300 vote! in the National Assembly.

The big question mark was the position of the Socialists who brought about the fall of the gov- ernment led by Premier Robert Schuman Monday by insisting c-n a $40,000,000 cut in the defence budget.

Socialists and Radical Socialists are poles apart on economic doc- trlne.

The Socialists want u govern- ment-directed economy. will“? Radical Socialists favor givinfl the economy considerable freedom from government controls.

The Socialists at a caucus to- night decided their attitude to- ward Marie would be determined by his economic policy.

On the other hand. Marie told Radical Socialists tonight he would continue the financial and econ- omic doctrine of his fellow party member, Finance Minister Rene Mayer, who has been a favorite target of Socialist criticirm.

It was difficult to see, therefore, how Mnrie could ironeout the eon- fiicting views.

The stand of Bchumatfs Mouve- ment Rspubiicaln Popuiairc also was undecided. Many were report- ed friendly to Marie but uneasy over his pronounced anti-clerical views. MR1’. is s Catholic Party. On the other hand, these views made Marie popular with many Socialists.

176,DDD Voters Must Make Vital Decision

ilnlon With Canada UFRDSIIDIISIIIIC Government is Issue Today

BY David Mcfnwsh

ST. JOHN'S, Nfld. July 21 _ (CPi-Two years of paper prcpa- Kinda. airwaveo campaigns, stage- hcad disertations and hot stove heransues finely finished tonight and Nevrfound anders will choose tomorrow between union with Can- ada. and responsible government as their future form of administ- ration. i

It is the greatest decision that this Island of 300.000 has ever faced. The voters who didn't like either confederation 0r autonomy in the June 3 staiemated referend- um now hold the balance of pow- er.

Little new ground has been broken by campaigners since the last referendum and almost all who voted for confederation or re- sponsible government then are ex- pected to mark their ballots the same way this time.

But of the 156,000 who voted last time, more than 22.000 voted for commission government, which ran third in the referendum but split ihe vote so that neither of the other two choices could get n clcnr majority.

22,000 Hold Key

Responsible government led Con- federation by 5.000 votes. That leaves the commission government supporters holding the key that will open the door for either con-l federation or self-government. On how they vote will swing the whole issue.

If responsible government wins, even by the slimmest of majorities,

it is fairly certain what the resultant steps will be. The commission government

would resign as it would if con- federation wins, and various part-

ies would tako shape and offer themselves to the country. The party elected would form a gov-

ernment and all that would be left for Britain to do would be to a-D- polnt a governor-general and re- admit New-foundland as a. member

C. P. A. To Pioneer Air Routes In Pacific

I Douglas How _

OTTAWA, July 21 —(CP)--The Government today created new aviation policy in two major and fundamental ways.

It gave ihe privately-owned Can- adian Pacific Air Lines. a CPR. subsidiary, fine right to pioneer Canada's commercial air invasion of the Pacific with two runs. one to Australia and New Zeaiand and the other through Alaska to Asia.

Simultaneously, it also:

l. Broke the crown-owned

~'I‘.C.A.‘s monopoly over Can-

ada's role in international aviation.

il. Sanctioned for the inter- national field a policy-grant- ing runs to air lines backed by railways-which is frowned on by the United States and other courflries and which was rc- jected domestically in Canada until two years ago.

It marked a development of large importance for the giant ship- piane-rail empire of the Canadian Pacific.

Against long-planned policy, the government said it kept T.C.A. out of the Pacific because it was si- ready overworked in its flights through the Dominion and into the United States, Britain, the West Indies, Bermuda. and South America.

That is (the official reason given by Transport Minister Chevrier in a statement. But informed sources said there also was a fear that the long, costly Pacific routes held the danger of further financ- ial loss for s. line which went into the red for roughly $1,700,000 last year.

Sees Liberals Losing

Ground

(By The Canadian Press)

ST. JOHN'S, Que., July 2i-Pro- greseive Conservatives of Quebec Province will put in n. bid for Montreal as the scene of their party's national convention. ex- pected to be held this fall to name a. successor to leader John Bracken.

Ivan Sabourin, provincial leader and. vice-president of the Progres- sive Conservative Association of Canada, said in an interview to- day that he will ask the Associa- tion's executive officers at a meet- in-g Monday in Ottawa to select Montreal as the site.

The 1942 convention, when Mr. Bracken was named leader, was held in Winnipeg.

"Quebec," he said, "will make a stand for holding the convention in Montreal because we feel there are signs of disintegration within the Liberal Party."

“I think it best that the conven- tion should be held in the Province where the Liberals have been strongest but where they now are .

Diplomacy

In Quebec

becoming an uncertain and sliding group.

“The Liberals, for s. quarter of a. century, have found their strength in Quebec and the Progressive Conservatives must look to a. sub- stantial part of Quebec to build up an overall majority which is neces- sary if the party is to get into power in. Ottawa."

Mr. Sabourin said he does not think that the C.C.F‘. can be con- sidered a factor in this Province and he said the Llberalsare slid- ing back. Quebec's tradition was more to the right than to the left and the Liberals offered an uncer- tain "middle and mixed-socialist platform."

To hold the conventlbn in Mont-

real would be a healthy move, said MT- sflbvurin. and would serve to stir up interest in the Progressive ‘Conservative organization where it was most needed. Futrhermore. it would show that the Progressive Conservative organization is not strictly an Ontario or English- speaklng party.

Not Force

To Be Used In Berlin

(By George Brio)

BERLIN. July 2l—(AP)-—Taik oi sending an armed colum'n through the Russian-sealed approaches to Berlin virtually ceased here to- night. _

The Western Allied appeared to have resolved on diplomatic means of breaking ihe blockade. State Secretary Marshall said in Wash- ington that the United States “will not be coerced or intimidated.” But he added that "WC will proceed to invoke every possible resource of negotiation and diplomatic pro- cedures to reach an acceptable so- lution" in Berlin to avoid war.

British officials in London re- ported that a new Western Power note protesting the blockade ha: been drafted and sent to Washing- ton for review by high state Dc~ partment officials.

A third day of bright summer weather sided the Anglo-Ameri- can sir lift again today. In s 24- hour period. 27f flights came into the American airport. with 1.558 tohs of supplies, The R. A. F. flew in 202 plane-loads.

Inside Berlin. the Russians fol- lowed up their offer in feed rcsl- dents of the western section with hints through their controlled press that they also would supply eicc- tric power ior the entire city.

Through imports of Polish coal. the newspapers claimed. flwlllil power could be generated to gct industry going again and bring light back to homes.

Allied observers viewed both ges- tures ns propaganda measures to counteract unfavorable reaction of ihe Western world to the “hunger" blockade.

A British Military Goveriuncht official in Berlin said it was "most regretfui" that a move to send a Western armored column to the beleaguered city ever had bccr mentioned since it would have been a "ludicrous and fantastic" effort. He said that in be able to seno an armomi train to Berlin "you first would have to have con.- piete control of every signal cabin along the line."

The official also dismissed as without foundation reports in the British-licensed press that the

cargo planes Mil evacuate 5.000 refugees from Berlin to camps in the American zone.

Russians were availing out switche: to thwart any such an attempt by the Western Powers.
