Churchill said such mis sions would he in addition to the new agreements requirement for annual government consultations He added that the scope of the new pact has been widened to permit representations on all matters affecting RussianCana dian commercial relations This would allow Canada if necessaryto take up with Ros sin any special problems which may be encountered in respect of the sale in World markets of So viet products in which Canada has substantial export inter estn Mr Churchill did not elaborate on this point DENIES AP REPORTS However he did dwell at length on two Associated Press reports fromMoscow the first quoting Mr Churchill as saying there that Canada would be willA ing to sell uranium to Russia and that the Russians wanted it Quotations in the AP dispatches of April 14 and 16 are false in their entirety Mr Churchill told the Commons The minister said his first meeting with AP reporter voldberg was in Moscow hotel corridor April 14 and lasted about seconds He said Mr Goldberg sked whether if Russia wanted buy Canadian uranium Con la would be willing to sell The question was ob viously trap so did not answer it My only cement was Canada has plenty of uran nium The AP reporter then pro ceeded to falsify his report and to invent an answer which did not give and to invent question which heldid not asknamely about the Russians wanting Cana dian uranium AT PRESS CONFERENCE Mr Churchill said that at an April 16 press conference Mr Goldberg attended but asked no questions and instead interviewed him afterwards at private meeting had hoped that he would correct his first dispatch and that repeated and embellished The minister said Mr Gold berg wrote that the reporter re See German Unity If Power Balanced MONTREAL CP Gcrmany done in way

to achieve their minded himof his statement two days earlier and that he had re plied Well it was made in joking wayF As id not make the state ment in the first place Mr Goldberg is obviously falsifying the record again There was never any joking on my part about uranium nor any statement 13 me that had been joking He said he had accused Mr Goldberg of making farce and joke of serious

thing unforeseen happen some 300 divorce cases from Quebec and Newfoundland appear des tined to remain bottled up in the Commons for the rest of the ses sion The CCF party determined to vorcegrantlng business filibus terad Monday for hours and succeeded in blocking action on all but two of 323 cases pending Even the two did not finally escape the merrygoround They were given second reading when the two CCF speakers Frank Howard and Arnold Peters ran out of debating points but third and final reading will have to wait for subsequent sitting In previous session the Com mons has passed divorce bills en bloc after they had received de tailed consideration in Senate and Commons committees Only cases from Quebec and Now foundland which have no divorce courts are considered by Parlia ment Monday was the sessions sixth and final full private members day on which divorce and simi lar private bills have precedence From now till the House is pro rogued such bills can be con sidered only for an hour on Tues days and an hour on Fridays ONLY 25 OF 350 The prospect is that all or nearly all the bills pending will remain bottled up Of about 350 divorce bills which have come from the Senate this session only 25 have been approved by the Commons as Mr Howard mem ber for Sk and Mr Peters MP for debating the merits of each one About the only ways in which the logjam might be broken would be for the government to introduce legislation providing an alternative method of granting divorces in Quebec and New loundland or for the COP to call off its filibuster Neither develop ment appears likely The GOP contends that either the two provinces should estab lisb their own divorce courts or the responsibility should be trans ferred to some other federal body such as the Exchequer Court ANGER FLARES Tension that hadbeen building up through nearly four hours of filibuster flared into angry words Monday night as Mr Peters talked away on one of the divorce bills shocking farce
