He told a delegation from the railway brotherhoods there are strong arguments on both sides of the question and the govern- ment is taking a serious look at them. : The delegation, representing nine unions and 100,000 oper- ating railway employees, asked in its brief that job protection and compensation for job dis- location be written into the rail- way legislation now be- fore Parliament. The brief said many railway workers will lose their jobs and many more will be forced to move their homes when the railways are allowed to aban- don money - losing lines and services. Some railway com- munities would be faced with "economic ruin." HE'S SYMPATHETIC Mr, Pickersgill said he sym- pathizes with the union's argu- ments and stressed that 'the government has not closed its Ynind on this matter." But there was some doubt whether the necessary compen- sation involved should be a charge on the railways -- and Consider Old, Spurn New Aussie Plea LONDON (CP) -- Australian High Commissioner Alexander Downer pleaded with Britain Thursday to pay more attention to the countries of the old "blood" Commonwealth -- Aus- tralia, Canada, New Zealand-- and become less absorbed with the new African and Asian members. "From an Australian point of view there seems to have been in recent years in London a tendency to regard the Com- monwealth more and more in terms of its African and Asian members," Downer told a meet- ing of the Royal Commonwealth Society. "T can well understand why Britain .statesmen have been immersed in the problems of the emergent nations of those continents. Please do not mis- construe what I am trying to suggest. All of us must try to make the new Commonwealth succeed." The high commissioner added that if after a "period of trial, say 10 to 18 years, the answer is disillusionment, then we must honestly revalue the Common- wealth idea, as we now con- ceive it, in the light of experi- ence." "Meanwhile, let us by ex- ample, leader ship, patience, practical assistance and under- Canada Has Probed For Viet Talks OTTAWA (CP) -- External Affairs Minister Martin said Thursday Canada has been having discussions with other countries concerning accept- able conditions for convening of an international conference on Viet Nam. One condition, he told the Commons, would be an end to the fighting in Viet Nam. Replying, to Opposition Leader Diefenbaker, Mr. Mar- tin said nothing would be more disastrous than to convene a conference which would not bear promise of fruitful results, The way to avoid such an occurrence was to make sure that the conditions for a con- To Britain standing, try to bind these new countries indissolubly to our side GREATEST MISTAKE "Yet having said this, may 1 plead for the spotlight from London in future to play more on Canberra, Wellington and Ottawa. The greatest mistake of all would be to take the old Commonwealth, the blood Com- monwealth, for granted." "After all, who are your best friends in the world? Australia and New Zealand, I should imagine, with Canada not far behind." ° The high commissioner added |that in the last few months he had seen signs of a reoriented attitude in London. He had) warm praise for Common-| wealth Secretary Arthur Bot- tomley as well as for Britain's| new defence policy with its growing. concentration of power| east of Suez and vigorous sup-! port of Malaysia. | "The old lion is growling again, and when it opens its, mouth there are no, false teeth."'!

He said the railway situation is just one part of the much larger subject of automation and its effects, He indicated the government is thinking of a general policy to apply in all such cases, not just railways. J. S. Huneault, chairman of the delegation, said the broth- erhoods "need more than just sympathy . . . we are looking for action." Labor Minister MacEachen indicated that he plans to amend labor legislation later this year to make automation issues open to negotiation dur- ing the life of a contract.
