Not Optimistic Over N.S.

Selling Coal

KALIFAX. (CP)-Premier Benry llicks said Thursday he was not optimistic ever Noya Scotla's chances of selling eoal to Britain "but 1 do have hopes."

The premier said in an inter- view that-the three-per-cent sul- phur tent of Nova Scotla coal was the main banter to substan- tisl orders from the United King-

dom.

He said he British eoal pur- chasing board told him during his visit earlier in May that Bri- huh power plants could not econ- omicsly use coal containing more then.1lt per cent sulphur.

NOT OPTIMISTIC

"I w d not say I am optimistic

abou citing a substantial order ite board but 1 do have hopes," Mr. Hicks said.

He said recent strikes in Bri- ash pita pmbably will mean that Britain will import perhaps 10.- 0ll0.000 tons of coal this year - most of it from the United States.

He added that the British coal board qspeared to have no ob- jection to the Nova Scotia pro- duct aside from its high sulphur sontent. i
