Paubus said Monday's violence

was what he had tried to avoid when he encircled the high school with national guardsman for three weeks until a federal court last week ordered him to stop in- terfering with integration. Mayor Woodrow Wilson Mann of Little Rock said the "seeds of hate. carefully sown and tended, bore their ugly fruit this day."

It was Man who first chal- lenged Faubus' contentio that violence was Imminent when the governor put guardsrnen around Central high with orders to keep Negroes out.

Canada Offers To Quit

Disarmament Committee

UNITED NATIONS, N.Y. (CF) Canada offered Monday to with- draw from the United Nations' five-power disarmament subcom- mittee if such a step would aid in any way-in solving the world's

problems.

Prime Minister Dlefenbaker, making Canada's major policy speech in the UN General Assem- bly. made the withdrawal offer in I departure from the prepared speech he had completed in the Late hours of Sunday night. He in- terlected it as an alternative to the idea of broadening the five- power group, which Britain is un- derstood to oppose,

But he stressed at a press con- ference following his speech that the offer had not resulted from approaches to him by any other power.

QUIT IF HELPFUL

in his prepared text the prime minister said Canada would be in accord with any suggestions that more members he admitted to the subcommittee which now is made up of the big four powers and Canada. "provided that such I step led to I quicker and bet- ter solution of this grave prob- len1" of disarmament.

Then he caught delegates' at- tention with this further state- ment:

"We will go further than that. Canada is prepared to withdraw from the committee. She will do anything at all. short of her sni- ety and her survival. in order to bring about what must come it mankind is to continue to live."

British and United States del- egatiovn.spokesmen had no imme- diate comment on the Canadian

offer. A source close to the Brit-

Britain is understood to favorl the idea of adding more mem- bers to the UN's disarmament commission. which now is made: up of the 11 Security Council, members and Canada. This wouldl give more countries recognitionl without the danger of tying down? the working subcommittee by vot- ing-bloc pressure.

GEOGRAPHY NO BASIS

Diefenbaker made several ref- erences to voting blocs in the UN and in the disarmament portion of his speech said that ”geog- raphy alone should not be the basis for choosing additional members, for all members are not equally equipped to contrib- ute towards the agreement for which we all devoutiy hope."

in reference to Canadals posi- tion with the big powers on the subcommittee he said that ”we recognize the anomalies of our own status hitherto as a perma- nent membe . and we know that we have not stood on equal term with the other members with re- spect to responsibility or direct interest."

The prime minister reiterated Canada's offer to throw open to inspection all her Arctic regions in support of the Western disar- mament proposals which Russia rejected in London. The Soviet counter-propoals were meaning- less without inspection. and disar- mament unsuperviscd by inspec- tion ”is dangerous to those who

confined his remarks in the speech to the UN Emergency Force. At the press conference he was asked if be regarded the re- cent pro - Communist develop- ments in Syria as a threat to the free world, but he refused to comment beyond saying that the situation "is not lacking in dan- gerous potentialities."

He cuncded at the press con- ference that Canada feels there is little she can do in the viay of proposals in this 12th General Assembly.

Other points in Dtefenbt-iker's 1.000-word assembly speech cov- ered Canada's role in NATO which she would adhere to ”re- gardless of threats from what- ever source they emanatez" rela- tions with the U. S. which were "an irrefutable answer" to ”those who contend that the United States is aggressive;" support of the UN as "the cornerstone oi Canada's foreign policy:” and continuation of the idea of a per- manent UN pcace - keeping force as I future extension of UNI-IF.

A

Effort In Atlani

That the Atlantic Provinces stand united in making their re- qneats known. was the hynac A.W. Mathcson's speech as he presided at the opening of the Atlantic Premiers' conference in Charlottetown yes- lerday.

The opening took place in the historic Confederation Chamber of the Provincial building where 93 years ago the Fathers of Con- federation met io discuss plans for I union of the provinces into one body. Premier Smallwood, whose plane was delayed by fog

i was not present for the opening.

He arrived later in the after- noon.

Mr. Mathcson said the needs of all the provinces were not alike but added. "When agreement on I particular policy has been reached. there should be unan- imous backing from all.''

CAUSEWAY PROSPECTS

The island Premier who will play host to the three other Premiers for the two day confer- ence told the delegates that re- cent rock boring in the Bayficld area of New Brunswick have been very promising and indicat- ions are that suitable fill in suf- ficient quantities for the construc- tion of a causeway bctwccn New Bninswick and Prince Edward Island.

Mr. Matheson noted that the Island did not have the possibil- ities for industrial expansion that existed in Nova Seotia and New

development in thc sister prov- inces would inevitably benefit the island because there would be greater working force to which Island primary products of aeri- culture and the fisheries could or sold.

”i am not so sure that it will have such historic significance." said Premier Matheson. "but i believe this conference is I tore- runner of I conference which should and must be held to com- menorate the 100th anniversary of the 1864 meeting."

"It must be remembered that such a celebration is only seven years hence and I am sure the people of Canada will look with interest on our meeting here to duo.

COMPLEMENTS APEC

The efforts of APEC were high- ly praised by Mr. Matheson. He felt there should be I dividing line between APEC and the con- fercncc of Premiers. "We should work together for the same end. but in separate quarters." ht- said

"I firmly believe that there should be no domination by gov- ernment in the field covered by the Atlantic Provinces Econom- ic Council and by working sop- cratcly. although mceting pos- sibly at the same time in the samc City. we can get together amt prcsvnt a united front. Let us prove to our fellow Canadians that we do have problems which - they can help us to solve."

DOWN 3.1 PERCENT

l Mr. iiees outlined steps being taizen in a broad study of ways of improving transportation in the Atlantic Provinces and said the provinces would be consult-

commendatlons arising from the study, begun early this year.

Mr. Hces said :hat despite Can- ada's prosperity. "there are wide differences in the prosper- ity enjoyed by the people living in various sections of the count- ry. .

Average income in the four Atlantic provinces was 33 per cent below the averages for the other six provinces. .

"For this country to be real prospecous,. there must be a far more uniform pattern of pros- perity from one end of the count- ry to the other."

He said it is impossible to say now what recommendation; for improved eastern transport serv- ices may develop out of current studies organized by his depart- ment. They probably would take six montiis to I year to corn- plete.

Present studies included: Mar- itime freight rates; Prince Ed- ward Island ferry services; the proposed causeway to link P.E.I. and New Brunswick; railway branch lines in Nova Scotla. New Brunswick and Newfoundland: and Newfoundland ooaatai ship- ping services.

Further studies would cover road yl blems - "primarily I provincial responsibility - and also coastal shipping services in general. harbor facilities, spee- ialized ferry services and I num- ber of individual projects which had been proposed to the govern- mm! and which deserved re s

Freight Aid

For Maine, N.B. Potatoes

SAINT JOHN. NB. (C?)-. Freight rate assistance to New Brunswick and Maine potato growers siiipping to points in a certain area of the United States was announced Monday by the Canadian Pacific Railway.

A reduction of approximately 15 per cent will become effective as soon as possible for a mini- mum of 50.000 pounds per car from points on the CPR in New Brunswick and Arrioslonk Valley railroad in Main. to U.S. destinations west of the Hudson River. east of the Mississippi River and north of thc Ohio and Potomac Rivers!

The reduction is subject to con- currence of connecting lines in the U.S. area. Existing rates will
