WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1947 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE - * PAGE NINE Drew Urges Co-Ordination Between Ottawa, Provinces ® A 4 Should Exchange Views To Preserve Economy, Premier Tells Farmers Ottawa, Nov. 26 (CP)--A call for establishment of: a co-ordinating committee of all governments to provide a constant exchange o fyiews of ideas on matters of common concern between the provinces and the dominion and thus avoid "chaotic conditions," was reiterated here last night by Premier Drew, In an address to a dinner meet- ing of.the Carleton County Federa- tion of Agriculture, Mr. Drew said his government held the view that in dealing with agricultural and other problems there should be joint co-operation between the do- minion and all the provincial gov- ernments and close association with all farm 'organizations in the coun- try. The chief difficulty confronting agriculture in Ontario today was the uncertainty of the immediate and distant future as to farm pro- ducts. Ontario farmers were liquid- ating their livestock because of this uncertainty which was partly due to removal of price ceilings on feed grains and retention of ceilings on finished farm products. In an interview prior to his ad- dress, the Premier indicated his be- lief that Ontario eventually would reach agreement with the dominion, saying he did not think "the veto will persist forever either at Ot- tawa or Lake Success." Mr. Drew also brushed aside talk of an early provincial election or that he might succeed John Brac- ken as national leader of the Pro- gressive Conservative Party. But he had a lot to say about the domin- jon's new dollar-saving program, terming it "economic insanity." "What has happened (in Ottawa) during the past week should remove any doubt that we had the best reasons for refusing to. submit to the arbirary terms put forward by the dominion and by so doing, place Ontario's economy in the hands of an irresponsible 'brain trust.' "We are now seeing the disastrous reults of plain economic lunacy." 3,653 QUARTS An ordinary goat gives a quart of milk a day and lives for about 10 years.

A second capital charge against Vescio--the murder in Jan y 1946, of Roy McGregor, also 13, of Winnipeg--was transferred to the February Assizes of the Court of King's Bench, The parents of both boys were in the crowded court room when the jury returned after 35 minutes' deliberation. Vescio, slim 'and lark-haired, showed no emotion as the jury re- turned, as their verdict was read or as Chief Justice E. K. Williams pro- nounced sentence. Mis sister, Mrs. Berandrdi of Port Arthur, sitting with another sister, Kay, and Frank, a brother, buried her head in her hands and wept. They sald they would appeal. After the spectators filed from the room, Vescio, arrested at the Lakehead last summer and serv a term in Headingly Jail for arm robbery when the murder warrant was served, pulled a cigaret from his pocket and lighted it. Mrs. Beranrdi went to the prisoner's box and spoke to him for five minutes, tears streaming down her face. For the police, who said a 9 mm. revolver they found on him was the weapon used to shoot both boys, the conviction closed the files in one of the most intensive hunts in their history. The McGregor boy's body had been found in a Fort Rouge district coal and lumber yard and or months they followed clue after ue. Then, when the Smith boy was shot and likewise, they said, as- saulted, in a West-Central Winni- peg lane nine months later, they re- doubled their efforts. Their first concrete evidence came when R.C. M.P. ballistic experts reported the revolver allegedly found in Vescio's room, and sent to them in a routine | check-up, was the one used in the | heiat L Christmas Ma . ked 25 feet deep in the hold. is made up of Chr il For UK. iA record shipment of mail, largest ever .to leave a Canadian port, was carried to the United Kingdom on the Canadian Pacific cargo-passenger ship Beaverford which sailed from Montreal for Liverpool November 23 with 19,750 bags of parcel post, in addition to 10,350 tons of r egular cargo, including the hc~vy deckload of logs, shown above, and 28 passengers.

Photo New York, Nov. 26--(AP)--The Soviet Union has a huge hoard of gold, to combat the Marshall plan, economist Charles Prince writes in the December issue of the United Nations World. Prince, former specialist on Soviet economic problems for the US. Chamber of Commerce, predicts in the magazine, an unofficial publica- tion, that "it is probable by 1967 the Soviet Union's gold reserve will equal or surpass that of the U.S." "Exactly how big the: Soviet gold hoard is," Prince states, '"nobody outside the Soviet Union knows. Beyond the statement that it is the world's second largest gold reserve, official sources in Washington, New York, London, Paris and Zurich are unwilling to go. "The best informed opinion is that it is certainly worth more than $3,000,000,000, and probably not more than $17,000,000,000. The U.S. re- serve is $22,000,000,000." Prince says tha§ behi a screen of intense secrecy gold production in the Soviet Union has increased rapidly. "In. 1926, the Soviet Union rank- ed 15th, among the gold-producing conutries of the world. In 1936, she moved up to second place, and in 1940 claimed to occupy first place "If, as the Russians insist," Prince continues, "they have sur- passed the gold production of the Transvaal, they would be produc' ing today well in excess of 10,000,000 ounces a year, or more than $350,- 000,000. This compares with cur- rent U.S. production of 6,003,000 ounces and the Canadian output of 5,311,000 ounces in 1940 . . ." Prince outlines the following as possible: Russia could establish a ruble Russia's Store Of Gold Said One Of Greatest area and with her currency pegged to gold could effectively compete with the dollar and "certainly dis- place the pound sterling in crucial trade areas." Russia could offer large quanti- ties of gold rubles or gold iteelf, | purchase needed goods and mater- | ials, and force prices up in terms of dollars and sterling, Countries selling goods to the Soviets could use this gold to buy commodities freely in the world market, a pros- pect not envisaged by the Marshall plan. The result, Prince claims, woud be cheap Soviet purchases of needed merchandise "since it does not reckon costs in its own gold production," U.S. economic position.

A formal protest to the Ontario Hydro Electric Power Commission was forwarded, urging that the lighting of the Niagara Falls be restored immediately. Said Mayor W. L. Houck: "The lights are the greatest drawing card we have, and unless they are turned on again we are going to lose tourist traffic and American dollars."
