NpLSON, B.C., CANADA-TUESDAY MORNING, APRIL 17, 1951
5 Cents a Copy
No. 301
The C.C.F. motion, moved by
Party Leader M. J. Coldwell, called (or limiting the new 20-per-
dent defence tax on Incomes to
single persons who earn more
than $1500 a year and to married
persons earning more-than $3000.
Under the budget, the tax will apply to Income tax payments beginning July 1.
.' The Progressive Conservative
thrust, moved by J. M. Macdonnell
(PC—Toronto Greenwood), specifically expressed regret at the Government's "failure'.',to take effective
steps "to deal, with profiteering".
It also said:
"The proposals of the Minister of
Finance' are unsatisfactory -because
they will inevitably Increase the cost
of living for all and especially for
those least able to bear it.
"This house condemns in particular, as inflationary, the increase by
25 per cent of the general sales tax
and is of .the opinion that the increase is unnecessary and unwise.
"This House further condemns the
heavy Increase in excise taxes on
certain essential commodities and is
of the opinion that much of the
Government's- firoposed huge in?
crease in taxation is due to its own
extravagance."        ;.
Solon Low, Social Credit leader,
termed the budget an "Inflationary budget-.'and said It would do
nothing "to put value back Into
the* Canadian dollar and to bring
down the cost of living to manageable proportions."
Mr. MacDonnell, official Progressive Conservative financial critic,
predicted that the budget, though it
purported to cure inflation, will
cause a "substantial" rise in the
cost of living, with the inevitable
result that organized labor would
seek further wage increases.
"It will have only one effect—to
start off the deadly spiral," he suggested.
Both the Increases ln commodity
and corporation taxes, he said,
would be translated into prices and
thus help to swell living costs.
Along with these higher prices
would go to the new defence income
tax whiqh would lessen the taxpayers' capacity to pay.
He hid the Government js rejy.
Ing on the United States to "bail
them out" of the present situation.
NO PROTECTION
Mr. Coldwell said he does not
agree that Canada has to rely on
conditions in the United States as
far as living costs are concerned.
Canadian conditions could not help
but be influenced by events in the
U.S. and in the world. However,
there was much the Government
could do to protect the Canadian
people from the devastating results
of inflation.
The Government had done nothing and the'budget'did nothing lo
protect people from high prices.
Prices had risen spectacularly since
last Fall's budget, which had been
described.as anti-inflationary."
Railways Need Plan for
Competition
OTTAWA, April 16 (CP) —
i Donald Gordon, Canadian National Railways President, said
tpday highway competition Is the
Railway's big problem but lie
!' does noV mink-they should try
to meet It by stifling the opposition.
Instead, he told the Commons
Railways and Ship-ping Committee, It is up to the railways to
Improve their service and try to
work out some arrangement with
highway operators that will enable each carrier to do Its Job.
; In the Committee's annual examination of the CNR's affairs, Mr.
Gordon said the railways have
been losing' many millions of dollars to their road comoetitors. They
were threatened with being put out
of business in some .sections of the
country.
If railway service was to survive in these sections, the CNR
would either have to go into the
highway business or work out some
sort of cooperation with highway
transport operators.
'. In an all-day questipn-and-an-
awer session that ranged through
many phases of railway matters,
Mr. Gordon also said:
1. The boxcar situation Is Improving rapidly as Canadian-owned
cars returning trom the United
States cut down the Canadian
shortage.      ,   ....'■'.
2. The CNR does not yet know
how big a freight-rate Increase will
be asked to meet the cost of the
new 40-hour week going into effect
June 1.
3. The Company's potential revenues from a five-per-cent rate increase application, heard by the
Board of Transport Commissioners in January, and on which no
decision has yet been given,'would
be about $1,100,000 a month.

Special to the Dally News
VICTORIA, B.C., April 16-Elec-
tiohs Act changes stirred tha Legislature Monday with Attorney-General Gordon Wismer and Provincial
Secretary W, T. Straith defending
the preferential vote system planned
in the face of a bitter attack from
the opposition.
C.C.F. leader Harold Winch opened debate on second reading of the
changes, describing the legislation
the most weird, fantastic and
shameful bill ever introduced in a
Parliament of.Canada.'
His adjectives were directed to
the .preferential ballot, or single
transferable vote, as well as to the
methods to be used in its application.
Winch charged that the Legislation was introduced for matters of
political expediency only.
He said this was. obvious with the
Government straying from the usual
practice of appointing a committee
of members'from both sides oj.the
House /to study and recommend any
proposed Elections Act amendments.
He noted, too, where such a committee in recent years had recommended against the-single transferable
vote.; .. ' ". '
. "There is no doubt that the Liberals and Conservatives want to.
break up in this Coalition, and are
giving themselves every possible'
protection," he said.  ■
He thought it Was wrong that the
official opposition candidate's had
to take third place on the ballot
with Liberals, ond Conservatives
taking the first two positions depending oh the'party affiliation of
the sitting-member.
HITS LISTING -   .
Tlie listing of candidates ></ alphabetical order was displeasing to
the opposition leader also, who said
that 'iri '-multiple'seat ridings Where
separate ballots • will .be distributed
for each of the seats, opportunity
should be given for a party to rdn
its strongest candidate against the
strongest of another party. Also independent candidates should nave
the -righttb-choose which candidate
he. will oppose, and not have to
,tfike-any one, of tbeiballots according .to,alphabet."'■'."... . -  ..
Many of the electors voted (or the
man and not the party, Winch continued, and in the proposed system
he might have two favorites on one
ballot. But He would be able to give
only one of them'his first-choice
vote.    .   ,,
He thought the multi-seat ridings
should be broken down to single-
seat ridings.
After hearing from W. A. C. Bennett, the Independent from South
Okanagan, who favored the Legislation in principle, but wanted some
changes, to the amendments; Leo
Nimsick C.C.F.-Cranbrook; Rupert
Haggen, CC.F.-Grand Forks Greenwood; and Randolph Harding, C.C.F.
Kaslo Slocan, who opposed; and
Mrs. Tilly Rolston, the second Independent from Vancouver Point Grey
who favored the changes but said
they were giving the Government
candidates undue advantages, big
guns of the Government opened up.
ma'jority rule
Attorney-General Wismer spoke
first He said the amendments had
one principle—that thb majority of
the people shall rule.
In the past, said Mr. Wismer, Candidates had been elected to office
by minority votes.
"We feel this is wrong, and we
are doing something about it;" he
said.
It was the Government's belief
that the majority of people wanted
the preferential vote because it was
feared that a Socialist form of government could be elected by a minority of the people which would
change their entire way of life and
bring ruination to the province.
He stressed that the Legislation
was being enacted for proclamation
when it was decided Coalition
should end. In answer to a question
he said it would be ridiculous to use
the new system in the coming Esquimau byelection because Coalition was still in operation.
In his contribution to the defence
of the amendments, Mr. Straith
said there would be little difference
in coming elections under the new
system than at present.
Government candidates had first
place on the ballots now. With Coalition, provision had to be made for
the candidates of the two parties
of the union. The official opposition
candidate would move from second
position to third for the first election
only after the end of coalition.
"There has to be some order of
candidates laid- down," he said.
To the suggestion that multi-seat
ridings be broken down into single-
scat ridings, he said it would be next
to impossible to draw new boundary
lines in some constituencies.
"And in Victoria, for* instance,
why shouldn't all of the- people of
the city vote on who their three
members will be?" he asked.
Six-Year-Old Boy
Drowns in Trail Creek
TRAIL, B.C., April 16—The body
of a six-year-old Annable boy was
found ln the swollen waters of Trail
Creek Saturday night about' six
hours after he had been reported
missing.
Drowned was Russell Berton
Howel, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. A.
Howell, Violin Lake Road, Upper
Annable. His death was the second
such tragedy in.the family. About
eight years ago, a two-year-old son
of the Howell's disappeared. His
body was never found but it was
believed he also had been drowned
in the creek. The Howell home is
within a few feet of the creek.
Over 100 Trail district men under
RCMP direction, scoured the Annable area, the city and highways
out of town Saturday night before
the body was found about midnight,
by Mr. Howell.
The youngster was last seen by
.the family at. about'3:30 p.m. Saturday, when he. was refused permission to ride his bicycle down
to a service station at Lower Annable. Apparently the youngster
disobeyed his mother and went off
on his small, girl's type bike. The
family reported he was missing
about 5:45 p.m.
•Police, -using powerful searchlights, discovered the bicycle in the
creek, some 20 feet below the
bridge, at about the same time as
the father discovered the' body,
some 500 yards further down the
stream. The body was caught on a
tree branch and a large boulder
in.the swift current, with one hand
breaking )the surface.
Deputy Coroner Dr. D. J. M.
Crawford said he would conduct an
inquiry into the incident. He did
not feel an inquest would be necessary.
Besides his parents, the boy Js
survived by two sisters, Mrs. H.
O'Keefe in Toronto, and Louise, 8,
at home, and one brother, Richard,
8, at home. , *       .

Seven-Mile Route Lined With Cheering
Honolulu Welcome for Gen. MacArthur
By FRANK H. KING
- HONOLULU, April 16 (AP) —
Hawaii gave Gen. Douglas Mac-
Arthur a hero's welcome today on
American soil.
It was the first unfolding of
•America's public fanfare for the
general on his return home to present his side of the Asiatic policy
controversy before Congress Thursday.
The general, relieved from his
commands by President Truman,
was. paraded in Honolulu through
crowded streets this evening.
It started more than 12 hours
after he arrived with his party by
plane from Tokyo where he got
a send-off ovation from the Japanese people and the Allied forces.
In the afternoon he placed a
wreath at Punch Bowl national
•cemetery in honor of its dead.
The cemetery contains the bodies
of men who died in the Second
World War, including some who
died in the Japanese Pearl Harbor
attack Dec. 7, 1941.
The seven-mile route from Pearl
Harbor into the outskirts of Honolulu was lined with cheering men.

The procession stopped at an
amphitheatre, there MacArthur
was given the honorary degree of
doctor of laws (LL.D.) by the
University of Hawaii.
Tha university President Gregg
M. Sinclair, acclaimed the general
"one of the greatest Americans of
all time."
WASHINGTON, April 16 (AP)-
Congress whipped through formal
arrangements today for Gen. Douglas MacArthur to tell his story to
a loint session—and by radio and
television to the United States —
shortly after 6:30 p.m. PST Thurs:
day.
Senate Republicans called unanimously for an all-out congressional
Investigation of the Truman administration's foreign and military policies.
Republican objections to the Truman program mounted to a roar of
protest with President Truman's
dismissal of MacArthur last week,
and the deposed general's flight to
Washington — he's due here early
Thursday — fanned the flames of
controversy.
A kind of "MacArthur fever'
swept the capital today. It brought
these developments:

Radioactive Belt

Not So Easy

Associated Press Science Editor
NEW YORK, April 16 (AP) —The
dehumanized radioactive belt across
Korea, proposed today by Representative Albert Gore (Dem. Tenn.)

— on paper.  ■
Actually it involves: 1. An intense
atomic engineering feat; 2. Doubtful
effectiveness; 3. Something quite
easy to bridge. <
This belt would be radioactive

sands. Some liquids might be used.
The result q( any of these would be

than a few weeks before their radioactivity weakens to the point
of being useless.
The   illness   and death does not

Fighting men, without any protection, would be able to advance effectively for hours at least. The kind

- efforts to mask what may be

Ing attack.
A Southerly wind at times

Allied planes bombed and strafed
these openings in support of advancing United Nations troops.
The srabke pall extended 15 miles
Northwest of Yanggu, one of the
latest towns inside Red Korea to fall
to the advancing allies.
In Western Korea, the town of
Yonchon on the road to Chorwon
was abandoned by the Reds. Allied
troops had.not yet occupied it but
held high ground on all sides.
TIGHTEN CENSORSHIP
Rigid censorship regulations ordered by the new supreme allied

Halt Plans—Anscomb
VANCOUVER, April 16 (CP)-The Coalition Government will be a thing of the past at the next general election unless Canada is involved in a world war, Finance
Minister Herbert Anscomb said tonight.
The Provincial Progressive Conservative leader,in an
address over the provincial network of the CBC, made the
statement as he referred to the transferable voting system
which the Government has introduced during the current
session of the Legislature.
In the event the world is "reason-.
ably stable" at the time of the next
election "the Conservative Party
Will have a candidate in every riding in British Columbia who will
contest each seat as a straight Conservative.
It was a fighting speech delivered.,
by the finance minister in which,'
several political blows were landed.'
SELFISH VIEWPOINT
Right at the start he struck at "a"
persistent and very determined
move by the C.C.F., and some members of the Liberal Party" in saying
that his party and himself opposed
social services and social security in
B.C.
"That, of course, is done from a
purely selfish political viewpoint,
and is not a statement of fact," asserted Mr. Anscomb.
The government was spending
$13,080,259 this year on social services from money paid ln taxes by:
working people, a good deal of,it
from the proceeds of the three-percent sales tax, the minister said. iV
"In other words, without the ability and willingness of the people)
who are now actually employed to
subscribe that money, through taxes,
these social allowances and great
humanitarian-programs could not go
on," Mr. Anscomb added.
He emphasized that unless th*
Industrial    development   of   tha
province    and    the    number of
people   working   In the province)
for wages and salaries Increases ao
fast or faster than the social security costs  Increase, the  social
security services "will either com*
to an end or have to be,reduced."
He said his party had noi only
the welfare of the people at heart,
"but we are very anxious to' mako
their positions secure , , ."
The finance minister described at
just "political chatter" C.C.F. statements that the.province could get
large sums'of money from the big
industrial, mining and timber organizations in B.C.
Generally speaking, he said, tho
province is not allowed to impose
an income tax in British Columbia
and cannot make different laws "for
the so-called rich and the poor .,."
FREE ENTERPRISE
Excessive income taxes imposed
on the large concerns would immediately put out of business ever*
smaller operation.
, Later, Mr. Anscomb declared hit
party was a free enterprise party in
every sense ofithe word "and opposed to the government being in business." J
As leader ,of B.C. Conservatives,
Mr) Anscomb appealed directly' to
members of his party to take an ac?
tive part in the party organization"
so that we may assume our proper
place in a free-for-all election."

which may wish the firm to expand its plant and production to
maximum capacity at short notice,

Today in Trail
TRAIL, B.C., April 16 — "Next
competitor please!"
That is the call that will be heard
today and throughout the week as
the Eighteenth Kootenay Musical
Festival gets underway in Trail
Tuesday.
Approximately 1000 competitors
will do their best as they take to
the stage during the next five days.
"The Musical Festivals are organized for the purpose of developing and stimulating a love for, and
an appreciation of music and the allied arts," the foreword of the Festival program says.
"The love of competition, particularly amongst the younger performers, can be utilized for the noblest
of purposes- ,in helping to give the
stimulus and zeal required to secure
earnest work. The aim of the competitors, however, should not be to
defeat each other, but to pace one
another or the road to excellence.'"

Osprey Back
-And Protected
The Osprey or fish hawks have
come back to Kootenay waterways
from cold weather travellings, anrj
conservationists have been quick to
warn- that the hawk is protected.
Marksmen in the past have been
inclined to look on the Osprey as a
fair mark for target practice, and
in some West Kootenay sections
have almost' wiped out flocks.
They are protected under the Dominion Migratory Birds Convention
Act.
Sportsmen make no claim that tho
Osprey doesn't prey on game fish.
But they contend the Osprey kills
more coarse fish than 'most fishermen, and accordingly should be considered to be entitled to a few game
fish.

(Special to the Dally News)
VICTORIA, B.C., April 16 — The
C.C.F. may have scored a victory in
its opposition to proposed changes
to the Dentistry Act requiring written prescriptions from dentists before laboratory technician* can
make and repair false teeth.
Health Minister Douglas Turnbull
in his statement to the Legislature
Monday said he was prepared • tb
withdraw "the bulk" of an amendment to the Act providing for the
prescription when the legislation
reaches third reading.
It was taken by the Opposition,
thought, that the wishes expressed
last week by the two Winch C.C.F.
ers will be granted.
Both Opposition Leader Harold
Winch and his father, Ernest Winch,
had charged ' the prescription requirement gave dentists dictatorial
powers""— that dental technicians
would not be able to take on denture repairs without having blessings from a dentist.
They   pointed   out that dentists
Gas Self-Service
Brings $100 in Fines
For Slocan Miners
Three Selkirk Mines employees
paid fines totalling 9100 in R.C.M.P.
Court Monday when they pleaded
guilty to stealing gasoline and causing a disturbance at a Passmore service station early Sunday morning.
Victor Curley was fined $50 on a
c'-arge of stealing six gallons of gas
while his companions, Albert Van
Koughnet and Robert Fedina, were
assessed fines of $25 each for causing a disturbance.
The men were arrested Saturday
night by R.C.M.P. highway patrol
following a complaint front the
garage owner. He said the three
men had driven up to the service
station long after closing time and
had roused him from bed to demand
service.
When they were refused, the man
told police they had disconnected
the hosepipe on the gas punip and
drained off the contents of the pump
bowl, then driven off.
The charges were heard by Stipendiary Magistrate William Evans.
could abuse the powers being given
them by charging a "middleman
fee.
*   *   *
When debate on the issue was resumed Monday, Dr. J. J. Gillis, a
medical practitioner, sided with the
Winch team, saying the legislation
was- giving dentists too many powers.
He urged the government to withdraw the amendments to which opposition had been raised.
«   .   .
It-was at this point that the health
minister said he was prepared to
withdraw "the bulk" of the "prescription Clause."
He said the clause had been included to regulate a group of dental technicians, not members of the
Dental Laboratory Association, who
were carrying on business illegally
The College of Dental Surgeons
had fairly wide powers, though, and
apparently the "weeding out" of
these unscrupulous technicians
would be left to that organization

Sin, Disease, Death
Real? Asks Sermon
Discordant conditions and effects
cannot be theoutcome of the primal
good and perfect cause called God,
was the topic discussed in all
Churches of Christ, Scientist, on
Sunday. The title of the Lesson-Sermon was Are Sin, Disease, and
Death Real?
The golden text was "He that is
our God is the God of salvation; and
unto God the Lord belong the Issues
from, death." Psalms 68: 20
The Lesson-Sermon Included the
following passage from the Bible:
"Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment." Job 34: 12.
Among the selections from the
Christian Science te.xtbook,
"Science and Health With Key. to
the Scriptures" by Mary Baker
Eddy, was the following: "Sickness,
sin and death, being inharmonious,
do not originate in God nor belong
to His government. God is not the
author of mortal discords. Therefore
we accept the conclusion that discords have only a. fabulous existence, are mortal beliefs which divine Truth and Love destroy."

Coal Production
Shows Decrease
NATAL, B.C., April 16 — Coal
production in the East Kootenay
district took a slight drop in February- this year, as compared with
February one year ago. Total for
this district in February 1951 was
83,781 tons, while a year ago it was
90,017 tons.
This reduction is probably due
to car shortages towards the end
of that month, which shortage is
continuing and disrupting shipments. Elk River Colliery produced 23,093 tons of coal in February
and Michel Colliery 59,788 tons. In
addition Michel produced .12,969
tons of coke during the same month.
Total production of coal for the
Province of British Columbia in
February 1951 was 132,744 tons as
compared with 151,551 tons in February 1950.

The 'newly - established Nelson I
branch of the Department of Health
and Welfare division of laboratories, is marking time until business
starts pouring in from every corner
of Kootenay-Boundary.,
"Work is just beginning to come
in," according to Miss Mary Year-
dye, who has come from Vancouver
with Miss Lorraine Handlen to operate the new unit.
The, branch has been set up in
the isolation hospital, and while up
to November public health services
were part of the job done at Kootenay Lake General Hospital, they,
will now be carried out independently. Since November, tests have
had to be sent to the main provin-
cail laboratory in Vancouver.
With  the  Nelson  branch, the
province has four branches, The
others   are   at   Victoria,   Prince
George and Kamloops. Ths Nelson
one will serve the entire Kootenay
district, principally Nelson, Trail,
Creston, Fernie, Kimberley, Cranbrook and Grand Forks.
Communicable diseases and milk
and water tests form the branch's
business. Samples may come from
doctors, sanitary inspectors, public
health nurses or individuals, such
as in the case of anyone digging a
well and wishing to have the water
tested.
A public health nurse' may send
•in a swab from a, school-student with
a sore throat; a doctor may suspect
a case of diphtheria, tuberculosis or
venereal disease, and whatever the
case, the branch gives an answer.
The branch will also supply preventatives for disease to doctors.
The isolation hospital has been
split into a serology room, bacteriology room, kitchen and store
rooms. Equipment such as incubators, a refrigerator, a centrifuge,
sterilizing oven and test tube shaker
has been installed.
The public health work was divorced from the hospital because
it couldn't handle all the work, Miss
Yeardye explained. "There is
enough work here to keep two
people busy all the time."
CAME HERE "BLIND" i
Miss. Yeardye (pronounced "yer-
dee") and Miss Handlen, both in
thefr early 20s, came to Nelson
"blind", except for what they had
heard of the city from Miss Lois
Whimster, a Nelson girl who is employed in the Vancouver lab. Miss
Yeardye is Winnipeg-born and a
graduate of University of British
Columbia, and her assistant is a native of Kelowna. They were both on
the Vancouver lob staff before coming here.
Miss Handlen is an ardent swimmer, and can hardly wait until West
Arm waters warm up to limber up
on her strokes, and Miss Yeardye
was an enthusiastic bowler in Vancouver.

Jaycees Plan July
Tourist Promotion
Junior Chamber of Commerce
units in Nelson, Trail and Rossland
are going to form a welcoming committee to greet American tourists
at border points on the July 4th
holiday.
. First step in Jaycee plans to promote tourism in West Kootenay, it
calls for representatives of each city
to act'on welcoming committees to
be posted at Northport and Nelway.
Jayce.es will answer questions and
offer suggestions as to accomodation, recreational facilities and
points of interest in 'West Kootenay,
with Special reference to Trail's
Jubilee Week celebration and Nelson's Midsummer 'spiel.
The idea was presented in the
form of a resolution by Jack Mor.
gan of the Nelson Club at Saturday's district meeting in Nelson,
June Production
Goal of Estella
Mine; Mill Rushed
Construction of a ISO-ton mill
East of Wasa, near Kimberley, is
being rushed by Estella Mines, Ltd,,
which has applied for listing on
the Vancouver Stock Exchange.
A financial group from Spokane
has been buying the stock put out
at 30 cents to $1 a share and now
quoted over the counter in Vancouver around $1.75.
Formerly owned by the Alex Pol-
son lumber interests in Washington,
the Estella includes the old Rover,
scene of the discovery in the area.
An adjoining group of 22 crown
granted claims at a lower elevation
is owned by Mrs. John Ehlinger of
Spokane. Several surveys of the
claims have been made which might
provide a tunnel site that would
permit opening of the Estella property at 3000 feet depth without
sinking.
While the area lay dormant for
years, the recent financing by a
Toronto house, later joined by W.
M. Rand & Co. of Vancouver, is
said to have provided more than
$1,000,000 in less than three months.
Nothing can hold back production by June unless there is delay
in delivery of mill equipment, R. B.
Lamb, Vancouver, managing-director, was quoted as saying.
Connection is now being made
between the old Rover tunnel in 700
feet and the Estella 150 feet lower
and a third tunnel is being started
lower down.

arid rate of ceasa which began Jn
In the three years the all-Canada
rate has dropped from 85,3 to 87,7
divorces per 100,000 population,.
The 1850 figure- was 5208 divorces,
down from 5|)34 in the preceding
year, 6881 In 1948 and the 1847 peak
figure.of 8108,
But, as the Bureau pointed .out,
the 1850 total atiji had a long way
to drop to reach the level of the
years before the war.
In 1040 there ware only 2380
,  divorces,   excluding   Newfoundland which then had no divorce
facilities. Newfoundland, joining
confederation In 1949, atlll'has no
divorce coiirt and   Ilka Quebec
now  fiends  cases  to   Parliament
for decision. AH other provinces
have divorce courts.
Parliament, with 8 standing Senate committee doing the actual investigation work, does a big divorce
business   every   session.   In   the
double session of 1849 it handled
350 cases. It heard 250, including
Newfoundland for the first time, in
1950 and so  far this  session has
handled about 220 cases with more
to come, and it wants to get rid
of its' job.
Last year the Divorce Committee
of the Senate expressed "regret"
that Parliament has "not yet seen
fit to solve the problem of parliamentary divorce by setting up suit,
able tribunals before which the
numerous cases from Quebec and
Newfoundland can be heard." Nothing has yet been done,
B.C. SECOND HIGHEST
Ontario had the highest divorce
rate for 1950, 2063 compared with
2306 in 1049. British Columbia again
was second with 1377 cases against
1491 and Alberta third with 534
compared with 594.
Divorces in Manitoba fell to 309
from 411; Saskatchewan to 280 from
289; Quebec from 234 from 350; New
Brunswick to 194 from 202; Prince
Edward Island to 13 from 20. The
total for Nova Scotia was up to
109 from 181.
Newfoundland had five cases in
its first divorce year as a new prov-
ince.
British Columbia had the highest
rate of divorce per 100,000 population with a figure of 121.0 against
133.8 in 1849. Alberta followed with
69.7 compared with 88,2; Ontario
45,7 against 54.3; Manitoba 38.9
against 52.8; New Brunswick 37.2
against 39.1; Nova Scotia 30.:
against 28.1; Saskatchewan 32,0
against 33.6; Prince Edward Island
13.5 against 21.3 and Quebec 5.9
against 9.0.
The 19S0 rate for Newfoundland
was 1.4 for 100,000 population.

HOLLYWOOD, April 16 (AP)—
Having tackled all other kinds of
problems, Hollywood is taking on
is the issues of the medical profession. ''        ~
Twentieth Century-Fox has already dealt with anti-Semitism,
anti-Negro feeling and snobbery- in
college sororities. Its latest • "problem" feature is "The Dr. Pratetor-
ius Story," a comedy with overtones of medical controversy. It Is
being written and directed by Joseph Mankiewicz, who won four
Oscars in the last two years.
Dr. Ben Sacks, a retired New
York heart specialist and technical
advisor on the film, explained the
issues in the film:
"It's the story of the conflict of
two schools of medical thought. Dr.
Praetorius, played by Cary Grant,
believes in modernizing hospitals
and medical treatment. He is opposed by an anatomy professor, who
believes Pratetorius is destroying
the dignity of the profession. .
"Pratetorius believes that a doctor has theduty to. treat the patient,
not just the disease. In other words,
'he feels that it is not enough to
cure the ailment alone; the doctor
also must get the patient in a
healthy mental and emotional state.

atry and psychosomatic medicine
are followed by Pratetorius. He
knows that many disease, organic
as well as functional, are caused by
mental conditions. Also, he has a
disregard for hospital procedure,
'I will not have my patients awakened from health-giving sleep so
they can take a pill on schedule,' he
says."
The hospital of Dr. Praetorius
will be a glimpse into the future. It
will be brightly decorated with bed
headboards containing everything
of convenience for the patient.
"Of course, we realize that economy is the reason that hospitals are
so cheerless" admitted Sacks. But
he indicated that the picture will
show how future hospitals can be
made less forbidding without too
much extra cost.
One of the chief problems In
dealing with medical subjects on
the screen js censorships, Dr. Sacks
said. The industry code contains
rigid rules forbidding such things
as the injection of hypodermic
needles, the showing of blood,
wounds, and so on. Many words are
verboten, such as forceps in connection with childbirth.
"But the censors are' getting much
more broad-minded," he reported.
"In 'Prateorius' we are.actually allowed to use the word 'pregnant'."

France and Auriol
President Vincent Auriol of France-
has convinced President Truman of
two things: His nation is now a determined   and   buoyantly   enthusiastic
backer of the North -Atlantic Treaty;
and it has reached a point of political
stability likely to make its cooperation
effective in furthering the varied defence projects of the grand alliance.
The warm accord reached at the conference of the two Presidents in Wash-
i ington is seen by a Toronto newspaper
as introducing a different kind of international reciprocity in which faith
I-end confidence are the values, instead
Kf commercial commodities.
The political and economic instability of France, following her military ■
^collapse in 1940, raised.practical doubts
"'which other Western democracies
" have been slow to abandon. On her
part, France has had some apprehension concerning the ultimate purpose
behind the liberal dollar aid poured
Into her country and others by the
United States. But the genuinely cooperative principle underlying Paul
Hoffman's administration of Marshall
Aid has now been recognized by the
French Republic. And the disinterested efficiency of General Dwight
Eisenhower's preliminary survey of
his new defence command under North
Atlantic auspices has further promoted
growth" of the new confidence within
France of which President Auriol is
the spokesman.
The decline of Communist influ-,
■ ence in French politics and the well-
planned revival of French industry,
have been recent factors in fostering
good-will for France among her allies.
And now that the French-born Schu-
man plan for the pooling of steel and
coal resources under long-term agreements is moving toward adoption,
there is even more impressive evidence of France's will to fight not only
for heir own galvation but also for the
collective security of democratic ideals
In the Western World, ,,,„„.....•"•<■'••'-
Her best, friends never believed
that France lost her soul in the 1940
debacle. President Auriol's personal
activities at that time and for the remainder of the war bespoke the essential patriotism of his people. He opposed the surrender to begin with, and
later went underground to build up
the resistance movements which did
so much to frustrate the Nazis direct-
. Ing the Occupation. In his own person
M. Auriol thus symbolizes not only
the French will to survive, but the
renascence which brings her once
more into an honored position among
her natural allies.
President Auriol revealed that his
country is spending one-third of Government revenues for defence, and a
recent U.S. Senate report indicated
that she has 70 men in her armed services (active and reserve) for every
1000 of population, against a total of 34
for'the United States and 31 for Great
Britain. France has for long been engaged in fighting Communist aggression in Indo-China; and if the President's pledges of all-out support for
the Atlantic Union's defence program
become effective this year, her contribution in both men and money inevitably will swell the above figures.
But even as they stand the figures
are remarkable, as they represent a
defence effort equal to 10 per cent of
the gross national product at a time
when internal reconstruction is costing relatively much more than in any
other treaty nation.
M. Auriol thus gives heart to all
nations in the alliance who will feel a
new confidence knowing that such
staunch support is being sponsored in
Continental Europe.

"Government Has Failed"
To the Editor:
Sir: Will you be so kind as to print the
following letter in your newspaper, and sign
my name to it?
Our present form of government has
failed us. Daily, we can pick up our newspaper or go into our stores and find the prices
ever increasing. There seems to be no stopping it. Meanwhile at Ottawa, they Insist
there is still no necessity for controls. I fail
to see their reasoning—it just doesn't- make
sense. Inflation is raising its ugly head higher
each day. Is it not time to have a change?
Surely no other form of government could do
a worse job or put things into a worse mess
than they are today.
Far be it from me to begrudge anybody
an Increase in wages these days, but I notice
that our civic employees have been granted
a raise in pay without so much,as a fight.
Therefore, our City employees are now receiving more pay than most Federal' employees. It hardly seems fair—especially so, when
we consider that civil servants are obliged to
sit for and pass two difficult examinations
each year In order to keep their pay up to
. the measly maximum it is now. Instead of our
working conditions getting better, they are
getting worse. There is, for example, the postman, who is paid for and is supposed to work
44 hours per week, but now finds himself
carrying heavier loads and working from SO
to 60 hours per week. This, they tell us, is for
economy reasons and to aid in the stepped-up
defence program. Where do they always start
to economize? At the bottom—naturally—and
hit the "little fellow" and his small income!
There has been a standing regulation in
the Civil Service to the effect that an employee cannot perform another job on the
side. However, it wa» announced on the radio
the other night that this is now changed, ,A
civil servant can now augment" Mis" meagre
salary by .having'Other' work so long aa it
doesn't interfere with his Civil Service job.
This appears to be an admission that the salaries are not enough to live on. After a day's
work as a postman, though, there is little else
one is capable of doing1 but passing out in a
sleep of exhaustion.
Then there is the condition that exists
today in our Provincial Government. Although
the Coalition advocates- "free enterprise",
they have taken the dictatorial stand that we
must submit ourselves to a Government
scheme of hospitalization or else. Although
such a scheme can work, and is working, as
has been proven elsewhere, our Government
has made such a mess of it and raised the
premiums so high that few of us are able to
cope with them any longer. Meanwhile, our
local M.L.A. at Victoria is backing the Government's stand, and has not lifted a finger in
protest. Is he, then, representing the people as
a whole? I think not I have yet to meet one
person in this district who is agreeable to the
latest increases in the hospitalization premiums.
In closing, I will say I take my hat off to
W. A. C. Bennett and Mrs. Tilly Rolston, Who
have crossed the floor of the House—thereby
supporting the constituencies who elected
when such an issue as confronts us today is
brought to the fore.

Editor's Note: This is the second
of a series of three articles written
by P. A. Larkin, Fisheries Biologist with the Game Department,
on the recently-published findings
of investigations of the Fisheries
Research Group in 1949. Today's
article describes survey work on
Kootenay Lake, including its limnology and statistics of catch.)
The work was conducted from
May 1 until September. 1 and collections from resort owners were
continued until the end of the fishing season ln December. The information collected by this survey
group is very extensive and the analyses of all the different phases of
the work have not yet been completed.
The Umnologlcal Investigations indicate that the lake is uniformly
deep (between 450 and 500 feet)
The water Is well oxygenated and
has a low mean temperature. The
quantity of dissolved mineral elements is small by comparison with
lakes In other parts of North America and more sedimentary parts of
British Colunibla, The shape of the
lake and chemical characteristics
marked it as a primarily oligotrophy or unproductive type.
LAKE CHARACTERISTICS
The water-masses which enter
Kootenay Lake show peculiar characteristics, which have prompted
plans for further investigation in the
coming season. The Kootenay River,
which enters from the South, is
warmer than the surface water of
the lake and for this reason the Kootenay River waters flow on the surface ot Kootenay Lake after they
enter the lake at the South end.
The Lardeau River and the many
tributary creeks in the North end
of the lake all have temperatures
lower than that of the surface of
the lake, and for this reason they
"dive" to a considerable depth as
soon as they enter the lake. The distance over which these under-water
currents may maintain their identity is an Important factor in the
study of migrations of trout and
other species of fish. -
FERTILIZING EFFECT
The bottom fauna of the lake is
sparse, but compares favorably with
the Great Lakes and the large lakes
of Northern Canada, which are similar in type to the Kootenay. The
South' end of the lake shows a
higher bottom-fauna production
than the North end, and tills difference is chiefly apparent at depths
below 180 feet. The fertilizing effect of the Kootenay River is believed to have an important effect
ln producing this condition.
PRODUCTION
The production of plankton Is
moderate and is also greater at the
South end of the lake. The absence
of any species of large shrimps from
the deep-water bottom-fauna plank
ton is a notable deficiency in the
fauna of Kootenay Lake i.s compared to lakes East of the Rocky Mountains.
Fish production is, to a large extent, related to the abundance of
plankton and bottom organisms. The
lists of species ijf fish which occur
in Kootenay Lake Is extensive so
that estimates of fish production ln
pounds per acre are complex; how
ever, a yield of approximately
35,000 pounds per acre of sport
fishes is Indicated from the catch
returns.
The assistance of approximately
30 resort owners on Kootenay Lake
was invaluable in the collection of
statistics pertaining to the catch of
game.fish in the lake. The analysis
of catch records Indicated that flies,
gang trolls, wobblers, and spinners
form a group which all yield catches
of approximately tWo fish per hour
or better. Plugs, flatfish and spoons,
which are used extensively in the
Spring and Fall, form a second
group which yield catches in the
vicinity ot one fish every four
hours.
TROUT LURES
The first group of lures mentioned
are used for catching fish of all
sizes, but the second group are used
almost, exclusively for trout-fishing
during the Spring and Fall, so that
comparison of the two groups is not
entirely justifiable. It is conclusively demonstrated that the group of
lures known as gang trolls select
fish of smaller sizes on both Kootenay Lake and on Paul Lake. This
phase of the work was separately reported to the Game Department and
is available ln mimeographed reprint form.
The study of catch statistics has
indicated a period of slow growth
in the life history of the Kamloops
trout between the ages of one and
three years. This highly-important
feature of the growth-rate reflects
the absence of intermediate food
items in sufficient abundance to
provide adequate nutrition in the
period between plankton-feeding
The Introduction of two species of
Bhrlmps (Pontoporela and Mysls)
from Waterton Lake, Alta., had
been attempted as a first step to
improve this condition.

This Week
At Victoria
By LEO. T. NIMSICK
M.L.A. for Cranbrook
Another week has slipped by and
by all indications we will be here
for the major part of this week.
Nine bills were introduced Friday.
Undoubtedly many of these are to
correct mistakes in previous bills,
but they must all go through a procedure which takes plenty of time.
During the last week there have
been a few interesting days. The
debate on the want of confidence
motion was very interesting. This
was a field day for the review ot
all that has been done and what
has not been done. The resolution
on the liquor question also created
much discussion, especially among
the Vancouver Members. Such a
resolution is usually good for the
major part of a sitting,
The rent control bill was completed and will take effect as soon
as the Dominion Government steps
out of the field. The same controls
will continue under,the Provincial
Government. In view of the Government's introduction of the bill
on rent control, the C.C.F. withdrew its motion which had been on
the Order Paper for approximately
four weeks.
I am glad to say the teachers won
a major victory last week when
the Minister of Education stated
that the Government contribution
to the pension fund would remain
at seven per cent for another year
until the case was reviewed. This
change was already in the estimates
and it Was only by determined opposition ln the House, and ft the
opposition of the teachers, that the
Government retreated to their former position. If the same policy had
been effected by the Government
on the hospital question I am sure
it would have saved a lot of ill
feeling among the people.
During the labor minister's estimates I asked for the Compensation
Act to be changed in order that
recipients could receive compensation in relation to the cost of living.
At present the rates are based on
a maximum wage of $2500' of which
68 2-8 per cent is the maximum
payable on compensation! This
would give only about $1600. With
the cost of living as lt is this is
only worth about $900 in 1939 purchasing power. I requested that the
rates be based on a salary of $3000
and that the percentage be 75 per
cent instead of the present rate but
the minister said that nothing will
be done until the Royal Commission
brings ln a report
Recently I asked the premier if
the Government had any intention
of increasing the 3 per cent exemption on meals from 50c to $1 and
was informed that it was not the
intention of the Government
do so.
The week ended with the quel
tion still to be settled as to whether
Little "Margarine" is to be allowed

Secret Clause
Keeps Russ in
Hungary's Army
FRANKFURT, Germany, April 18
(AP)—A secret Russian-Hungarian
agreement permits Soviet troops to
remain in Hungary indefinitely and
assures Russian control of the Hungarian army, political refugees from
Hungary reported today. -        <
According to the Allies' Pea'ce
Treaty with Hungary, Soviet troops
are supposed to leave Hungary as
soon as a treaty Is signed with Austria—Thus removing the need for
Russia's protection of supply lines
to its occupation troops ln Austria.
Hungarian refugees claim, however, that this provision was nullified by a secret clause in the Soviet-Hungarian Mutual Assistance
and Non-Aggression Pact, "which
was concluded after the Peace
Treaty.       ,
This_ clause, they say, authorizes
the Russians to transfer their military headquarters in Austria t»'
Hungary and to keep troops stationed in Hungary after the signing
of an Austrian treaty by the Big
Four FoWers.
No Change in Price
Of Heating Oils
TORONTO, April 16 (CP)—tape-
rial Oil Ltd., today announced that
the wholesale price of gasoline is
being increased by three-tenths of
a cent a gallon and the wholesale
price of diesel fueis by two-tenths
of a cent
The announcement states that the
increase is due to the increase from
eight to 10 per cent in the sales tax
announced in the recent Federal
budget.
There will be no increase ln kerosene or heating oils which are not
subject to the Federal sales tax.
The Increase applies across Canada, except in British Columbia
where the situation still is 'under
review.

Quarter- Millionth Telephone
Installed by B.C. Telephone Co.
Total Doubled in Only 12 Years
The B.C. Telephone Company recently installed its 250,000th telephone, bringing the
total number of instruments in service in the system to twice what it was in 1939.
Although it took nearly 60 years to install the first .125,000 telephones, it has taken
only 12 years for the second 125,000.
Nearly 90,000 of these new services were installed since the end of tha war during a
period which saw a record Increase in British Columbia's population.
In order to make possible this record telephone increase, millions of dollars were spent
on additional central office and outside plant equipment in a vast expansion and
improvement program.
The company is continuing this program in an effort to provide service for thousands
of waiting applicants in various parts of the system.
However, the total of the projects needed to further expand and improve the system
is far beyond the maximum which can be carried out in any one year, -and it is
necessary to spread the work over a period of years. This condition is general among
all large telephone systems in Canada and the United States and is a situation which is
not peculiar to the telephone business. The same condition prevails in regard to
other essential public services such as roads, streets, housing and sewers, etc.

It takes money and lots of money
to sponsor a senior hookey dub,
and no one knows it better trmn
the Kimberley Dynamiters. Unless
a "rich uncle" or some other solution comes up in the near future,
the Dynamiters rosy become a
thing of the past,
Even though the Dynamiter play-
er payroll was one qf the lowest
in B,C, Allan Cup hockey, the Kimberley plan once more operated at
a loss, and now face a WOO deficit,
$2600 of that amount a carryover
from last season, Jt cost the Dynamiters $21,0011 to operate last season,
and took in a more Sll.OOQ at the

would likely have sunk completely
out of the picture.
Tuesday night, at their annual

they will continue to operate in

It seems that Trail and 3pokane

understood, because in one weekend series with the Leafs, a big
drawing card there, record attendances were established, and more
dollars were taken in that weekend
than the entire mnnth qf January

Trail packed over 3000 for a large
percentage of their games, but dissatisfied most of their players when
the splits, tapering from $350 down
to $50 over the $50 a month they

Canadiens Have
Edge Over Leafs
MONTREAL, April 16 (CP) —
Coach Dick Irvin did some fast figuring today and came up .with the
pronouncement that "the edge is on
our side"—in favor of Montreal Canadiens over Toronto Maple Leafs
in the best-of-seven Stanley Cup
hockey final.
Two overtime games in Toronto
last week left the teams all even at
a game apiece, They meet tomorrow and Thursday ln Montreal, followed by alternating shifts for each
game until the series ends.       .
"The series is now three of fiv%,"
said Canadiens' Irvin. "We have
three of the possible five games
right here in Montreal. There's our
edge."
Defenceman Doug Harvey, with
a knee injury suffered in the semifinal against Detroit Red Wings,
was an absentee today when the
squad held a workout, The knee
still troubles him. *
Canadiens have recalled Eddie
Mazur, forward with Victoria Cou.
gars, as insurance protection for
left wing. The Cougars have just
Won the Pacific Coast League
playoff. Mazur may not see much
action,but will be held in readiness
in case of injuries.
TORONTO, April 16 (CP) —
Conn Smythe sounded the pralaea
of Maurice (The Rocket) Richard
today and left a goaltendlng
question unanswered as hla
Maple Leafs entrained for Montreal to resume their beat-of-
seven Stanley Cup hookey final
with the Canadians, The series Is
tied 1-1.
"I've just seen the moving pictures of the goal Richard scored to
beat us Saturday night and it was
a beauty, perfectly executed," said
Smythe.
"He's the three musketeers of the
National Hockey League. He's
d'Artagnan, Porthos and Athos all
rolled into one."
To the literary point that d'Artagnan wasn't one of the three
musketeers and that he'd left out
Aramis, Smythe had a ready Te-
jolnder: "AratoU?. That's the Coach
Dick Irvin on the bench."
There'll be no decision on a Leaf
goaltender until tomorrow night
before Wn third game of the series,
said Smythe.

Governmenf s Curb on Spending
Forecasf of Conditions Ahead
BY FORBES RHUDE
Canadian Press Business Editor
People are being told not to buy
or build things unless they are really necessary.
This is about the strongest possible forecast that troubled world
conditions are expected to continue
for some time.
Not so long ago financial author-
ities would have been afraid to put
such dampers on spending as they
now are doing.
In early 1948, for instance, they
were somewhat worried about the

high volume - of what is known as
"capital expansion" — all the building, repair and maintenance carried
out by individuals, industries and
governments. Especially they were
worried about the rate of expansion
of industrial plants.
It wasn't that they didn't want industrial plants to expand — but they
wanted industry to go a bit slower
until the* supply of goods was more
plentiful, so that prices would not
be bid up.
At that time they decided, through
influence on interest rates, to discourage capital expansion slightly.
But they were careful not to discourage it too much — they/.were
afraid,, they might reverse the
trend too'strongly.
Industry, for the most part, went
on a tremendous expansion spree.
And, as it turned out, it was justified. It is not clear just why business
did get so expansion-minded; but
the fact that it did was a major reason why we didn't have a post-war
recession. ... .
Playing with forces like that can;
be dangerous, and financial author-'
ities and governments know it. They
know that even as business and industry can be fi^e-handed in spending, they can almost with one accord
turn too cautious. And, in ordinary
times, that has the makings of a recession or depression.
In fact, some circles today think
that already too much repression
has been put on spending: and1 government statements seem to indicate
that it is1 ready for a quick switch
if it finds this is so.
At the .moment, however, government opinion seems to be that international stresses will force spending
to a higher level than can be borne
unless non-essentials are cut down.

Appeasement Always Fatal Error
When Dealing Wilh Aggressors
BY DEWITT MACKENZIE'
Associated Press News Analyst
The gravest danger which the democracies face in the conflict with
Communism is. as I see it, political
rather than military.
That is the danger, of trying to
achieve peace by appeasement,
Maybe your columnist is a bit hipped on the subject of appeasement.
If so, his excuse is that as an obser-

ver he had the harrowing experience of following Britain's Prime
Minister Chamberlain through the
latter's fatal efforts to appease Hitler.
You can't appease an aggressor.
There is only one thing a bully understands, and that is force or a
threat of force.
President Truman, explaining the
MacArthur dismissal, said:
"We are ready at any time to negotiate for a restoration of peace
in the area. But we will not engage
in appeasement. We are only interested in real peace."
CATEGORICAL STATEMENT,
That is a categorical statement:
The United States will have no part
in trying to avoid trouble by appeasement.
However, there are other countries which are not as fortunately
situated as the U.S. They are Asiatic
countries which lie in the path of
Bolshevist aggression, or Western
countries which ; ave territorial in
ter'ests in the Far East.
The Russo-Chinese alliance makes
a powerful combina''on which towers over the rest of Asia It is a
power which a Western country
such as Britain, with important Asiatic colonial interests, cannot treat
cavalierly.
Thus it perhaps isn't strange to
see Britain and India recognizing
the Chinese Communist Govern
ment which is waging war against
democracy. One doesn't hold these
recognitions up as striking
ampies, but as reminders that people
who live at the base of precipitous
mountains have to watch out for
landslides.
The question of appeasement is of
particular importance now because
it is quite clear that the Communists don't want peace in Asia. Their
strategy is to weaken the democracies by keeping them involved in
military operations such as the Korean war.
Such a harrowing situation Is calculated to inspire concessions from
countries which are endangered.
Every concession to force is a loss of
ground for the principles for which
the United Nations stands. "
The English first adopted St.
George as their patron saint in the
reign of Edward III, who died in
1377.

On Thomson Will
Writs on Behalf of
2 Hotel Employees
VANCOUVER, April 16 (CP) -
Attorney-General Gordon Wismer
will,order an investigation Into the
$800,000 James Thomson will case.
The will of the Wealthy, hotel
owner, who died here in 1948, was
declared a forgery on Saturday by
Chief Justice Wendell B. Farris.
"We will investigate the whole
thing," Mr. Wismer said today in
Victoria.
The investigation, it was reported,
will be made by the Vancouver
police.
VANCOUVER, April 18 (CP)-A
new court action was opened today in the $800,000 James Thomson
will case.
The, will of the wealthy hotel
owner, who died in 1948, was declared a forgery on Saturday by
Chief Justice Wendell B. Farris.
Today, Barrister Thomas A.
Dohm said he will issue writs
against the estate on behalf of W.
•F. Young and Albert Siegerstrom,
employees of the Ivanhoe Hotel
which Thomson operated for many
years.
Mr. Dohm said he will sue the official administrator for "unspecified
amounts" for the two men. ,
In the forged will, Slgerstrom,
was listed for $1000 or $100,000, depending on a legal ruling on the
placement of a comma. Young was
listed for $75,000.
OTHERS MAY FOLLOW
Other employees In the hotel,
listed for sums ranging from $5000
to $30,000, may also take court action, it was reported
Thomson had often told friends
that he planned gifts for his employee's from his $1,000,000  estate.
Chief Justice Farris ruled the
will had been forged by unknown
persons. He said the signatures of
Thomson and two witnesses were
forgeries.
It left the bulk of the estate to
Gilbert Campbell, 47-year-old Vancouver fireman whose father was
a life-long friend of Thomson.
Fifteen others were to share in
the estate, most of them employees
of the Ivanhoe Hotel,
Now, unless the judgment is upset, six cousins will share, the major beneficiary being 74-year-old
Mrs. Margaret Millen of Vancouver,
a first cousin, of Thomson. Her
share would be $250,000.

Supreme Court today postponed indefinitely hearing of a plea by the
Malay ex-husband of 14-year-old
Maria Bertha Bertogh asking that
it reverse a lower court decision

SALISBURY, 8oitthern Rhodesia, April 16 (Reuters) —Air Commodore Sir Frank Whittle, Inventor of the. Jet.aircraft, said today
that five well-placed atom bombs
could destroy the economic life
of Britain.
Whittle,"chairman of the United
Kingdom Migration Council, also
appealed  for  large-scale   migration from Britain to the Commonwealth countries.
He told the Rhodesia National Affairs Association that strategically
the very existence of the Commonwealth might depend on large-scale
migration as a matter of policy.
The contribution to Empire defence' would be far greater, he said,
if the £4,700,000,000 ($13,865,000,000)
the British Government planned to
spend on defence during the next
three years were spent on large-
scale immigration to commonwealth
countries.'
' The strategic position of Britain,
the heart of the Commonwealth, had
been' weak for some time. With the
advent of the atomic bomb the
danger from blockade became much
greater. Britain had about five principal ports—any one of which could
be knocked out by a single atomic
bomb.
"Britain is weak because she' has
too many people and not enough
natural resources," he added, "other
parts of the Commonwealth are
weak from the opposite reason."
It was agreed that 30,000,000 per'
sons was about the number for
whom Britain could produce food
from her soil. For any number above
that, staple food had to be Imported as well as commodities that
would not grow there.
Limerick City
Fathers Face
Dress Problem
LIMERICK, Republic of Ireland,
April 16 (AP) — The city council
called today for a full-dress inquiry
into that long-standing puzzler: Are
pyjamas better than .he old-fashioned night, shirt? "
The city fathers were prompted
by recent fist-figbiing between py-
jama wearers and defenders of the
night shirt at the poor house hospital.
The hospital is maintained jointly
by the Limerick County Board and
the Limerick City Council.
Wards of the county are outfitted
with pyjamas. Those of the city receive night shirts.
The county's pyjamaed paupers
have held.themselves aloof from the
city poor and the latter have responded with unkind remarks about
the appearance of elderly men In
fancy sleeping pants.
Twice last week this small cold
war erupted into open combat.    .
The city council cecided to have
City Manager Matthew Macken investigate the cost and respective
merits of the two modes of night
attire. ,

Trade Balance
Down in U.K.
LONDON, April 16 (Reuters) —
Britain's balance of trade deteriorated badly in the first quarter of
1951, it was revealed today.
The gap between imports and exports was £235,000,606 ($693,250,-
000), almost three times the average
of the four quarters of last year.
The offioial figures released today
may exaggerate the position because
as imports costs soar, so do Britain'r
invisible earnings which are not yet
included. But the deterioration remains serious.
It was known that last year's f av7
orable balance could not be maintained this year. But the government
had hoped to keep the deficit down
to £100,000,000 for the whole year-
taking the loss as an inevitable result of rearmament stockpiling.
A sharp rise in the costs of imports is responsible for the renew
ed appearance of a big gap.
