"~ [E TOUS ~ .. SATURDAY, ABGUST, 19, 1950 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE -- PAGE FIVE BritishGovernment Has For C.N.E. Show Irrefutable Evidence -On Soviet Slave Labor The existence of forced labor in . the Soviet Union and Soviet satel- lite countries has been further con- firmed. Important new evidence has ; come into the hands of the United Kingdom Government, and has béen made available. to the Canadian and- other delegates to the United Nations Economic and Social Council, presently sitting in Gen- eva, Switzerland. Britain has. for some time been studying from official Soviet sources the existence of inhuman labor practices in Soviet Russia, In a ~-+debate .in - the - House of Commons on 21st July, 1949, the then Minister of State, Mr. Hector McNeil, an- nounced the United Kingdom Gov- ernment's intention to offer "irre- futable evidence" on the : subject. This, he said, would show "Some- thing we have previously maintain- ed, and which is quite shocking to everyone who remotely thinks as we do, namely, that by arbitary decree people are removed from their homes and jobs and committed to forced labor or forced labor in exile in Soviet Russia". This preliminary evidence was produced, and the Soviet Govern- ment: has since entirely failed to refute it. Announcing at Geneva Britain's further researches into the subject, the United Kingdom delegate said that his Government "would have been willing to disbelieve the earlier '®vidence which had been submitted at the Council but their further investigations had unfor- .tungtely merely produced further serjous 'documentation from Soviet - sources". The main source of evidence of Soviet slavery is given in the cur- rent edition of the unabridged Sov- jet Encyclopedia, Volume 29 (pub- » the entry of the U.SS.R. into the period of socialism, the possibilities of using coercive measures of cor- rective labor have immeasurably increased". Forced labor is shown as one of the basic disciplinary measures of Soviet administration. Types of Crimes The United Kingdom delegate al- so revealed that other Soviet legis- lation deals with the rights of the Soviet Secret Police to enforce "administrative deportation", ie, without trial in a court of law. Some of the "crimes" mentioned in articles 58 and 50 of the Soviet Criminal Code, such as being the innocent and unwitting members of the family of a service deserter, would hardly be considered as criminal and punishable in any civilized country. Additional evidence now pro- duced also contains examples of Soviet legislation against what are regarded in the Soviet Union as dangerous religious criminals, who may be subjected to the armed supervision of common criminals. In Czechoslovakia The last item of additional evi- dence on the Communist forced labor system, now in the possession of the United Kingdom Govern- ment, consists of recent legislation and regulations of the 'Czecho- slovak Government. Even though the Czechoslovak forced labor sys- tem is perhaps the least inhumane of those at present practised in the Soviet satellites, examination of the "legal" basis of the working of the system shows a total lack of regard for human rights ang liberties. The labor force in Czechoslovak industry has been increased by the use of the forced labor system, regularized by Saw 247 of the 25th October, "All this evidence, the United Kingdom delegate said, "confirms the existence in the USS.R. and the Soviet satellite states of what amounts to a whole province of law and administration concerning the establishment of the system of 'forced' or 'corrective' labour (both expressions are used in Soviet ter- minology)." Newsman on War Front Can Relax - Sometimes, That Is By HAL BOYLE Somewhere in Korea, Aug. 19 . ...{AP)--It is night and you are-miles behind your own line. You may have gone up to the, front and been scared during the day, but that was earlier. You have .come home to a shower to wash away the road dust that feels an' inch deep on your skin. -~ You have got back in time to eat a meal. Or you may be forced to. try to digest something out of a can you have stuffed under a But bad as the food may taste or persistent:as the mosquitoes are buzzing around to dagger you, you are among the- fortunate ones of the Korean war. You at least gen- erally sleep free from danger. This is the greatest advantage a correspondent has over any one group of soldiers. They had to stay .and take it -- and he comes "up for a visit and then gets out of there. 'Gets An Understanding The disadvantage of the reporter covering a war is that he has to go up each da; the battle activity is highest, or at least he does many days if he has a conscience. So he gets.at least am admiring understanding of the average combat infantry- man. He gets an extra bonus--an un- on 'the 'part of the soldier of the job:a correspondent has to do. This happens so often that it usually makes a correspond- _ent feel ashamed. Many and many a time an infantryman will say to a reporter who goes up front: to the place where |. "You're crazy. You mean you come here when you ain't ord- ered Look! Be smart! Get the hell out of here." But if you hang aroynd for a while with them under mortar or artillery fire and still get the hell out of there they like you for it. They remember you as an old friend and next time you visit them --whether they are in combat or not. That Feeling of Guilt For some reason this gives you a feeling of guilt at night after you have come back to what passes for a comfortable billet in wartime and have finished your writing for 'the y. You go out on a small balcony and see the lights of distant guns and hear their far-off rumble. A few. trigger-happy rear headquart- ers troops send up some red tracer fire and someone new to the front says: "Look! Lightning bugs!" And some more experienced cor- respondent says: "Yeah, .50-calibre fire-flies!" It's all so beautiful when you are out of range. Oh, it feels so good to be alive and so far away from it then. You don't think that tomorrow you will be up in that battlefront again yourself. : You just think that maybe you ought to write a letter home to someone you love--and you wonder whether the unseen and hidden hell of metal that breaks with each flash of light will kill an enemy-- or touch someone you met yester- day or the day before.

' TLLNESS AND ABSENCE School records show that by far the most important reason for ab- sence from school is illness. Medi- cal reasons accounted for approx- imately 80% of school absences in B.C. and more htan 60% in Nova Scotia in a recent year. An over- whelming- majority of all these ill- inesses was found to be diseases of the upper respiratory system -- coughs, colds, influenza, etc. Thou- sands of school days are lost each year due to these contagious in- fections.

Each breed has several advan- tages. Here are some major points advanced by leading breeders of the three beef classes who will be exhibiting in the Cattle Show: Kenneth E. Deacon of Unionville, Ont., a member of the C.NE.s Board of Directors, says Shorthorns, of which he will be showing about 25 head, are generally recognized as the best cross-breeding class. There is a great demand throughout On- tario for Shorthorn bulls. A Hereford breeder, George Ro- danz, who has three farms at Ridgewood, Ont. favors that breed because they are easier on grass than the others and need less fod- der in the winter-time. He points out that Herefords, of which he is exhibiting 14, have won a large pro- portion of, prizes at cattle shows in Ontario. A staunch supporter of Aberdeen- Angus is Francis Redelmeier, who, with W. and Ernest Redelmeier, runs the Don Head Farms at Rich- mond Hill, Ont. Don Head farias will enter 21 head of Aberdeen-An- gus in the breeding classes, two An- gus steers and 20 Jerseys. . Mr. Redelmeier says the popu- larity of Aberdeen-Angus has been steadily increasing during recent years in Canada and the United States, due to their early maturing qualities and the thick-fleshing and fine marbling of the meat. Another pointer, he says, is the fact that there have been in recent years "more champion Aberdeen-Angus steers in Canadian and U.S, cattle shows than any other breed." With all breeds promising to be well represented, more than 1,100 head of cattle in dairy, beef and dual-purpose classes are expected to find their way to the C.N.E.'s vast Coliseum when the Exhibition gets under way Aug. 25 for its 14- day duration, A new classification among cattle exhibits likely to attract a lot of attention this year, says Mr. Sam Foster, Director of C.N.E. Agricul- fure Department, is the dual pur- pose Red Poll. Bred for both beef and dairy products, Red Polls will be introduced for the first time in an Eastern Canadian exhibition by the C.N.E. on the request of the 'Ontario Red' Polled Cattle Associa- tion. 'There 'are 40 breeders in the Association. . The show is designed to make the farmer's lot.a happy one. this year. - As with : sheep, swine, breeding horses and poultry, the cattle prize lists have been increased to offset the greater expensés which face ex- hibitors. The 20 percent cash award increase for cattle comprises a siz- eable part of the C.N.E.'s $125,000.00 agriculture prize list, ! Another point of interest to agri- cultural exhibitors this year is the decision to judge dairy and beef U.S. Casa sailors are busily checking the 40-mm. anti-aircraft gun Grande as the craft was taken out of mothballs at Bayonne, N.J., background [Landing Ships Back on Active Duty of the ft carrier T is in to go into active service.

War Clauses In New Policies Are Announced Toronto, Aug. 18--A war clause in all new policies 'will be written in immediately by four major Can- adian life insurance companies, it was learned here today. Others will follow it's! believed. Action generally has been left to the discretion of individual com- panies, The .new war clause is a "re- sults" clause--that is, indemnity of a policyholder is affected only when death results directly from some war cause, outside the home areas. It affects all people in the armed forces and other males, 15 to 35; contains an aviation clause. Action of the companies has been hastened by an increasing demand for life insurance, which in some cases has become embarassing the last few days, it's stated. So much so that companies to. some extent have been restricting the amount of insurance that could be taken by any one individual and limiting plans of insurance that could be taken, Canadian companies doing busi- ness in United States have been held up on adopting the war clauses because, unlike Canada, war clauses in U.S. must have the approval of state commissioners of insurance before they can be adopted. Com- pany executives don't' want to put war clauses in their Canadian poli- cies before they put them in the U. 8. contracts. DANGER NUMBER ONE Diseases of the arteries and heart have in recent years become the leading cause of death in Canada. Medical research is constantly in- vestigating new methods of control of these diseases but at the present time the cardiac sufferer's chief hope lies in careful co-operation with his doctor. Many persons with "heart conditions" live happily for many years because they observe the precautions specified by their physician, GAINADAY - WASHERS AND IRONERS THE CHOICE OF THOUSANDS ACROSS CANADA SAVES MONEY e SAVES TIME SAVES WORKeSAVES CLOTHING Let us show you the work, time, money and clothing these two splendid appliances will save for you.

SOBER SPELL Vancouver (CP) -- Vancouver's perennial drunkards are going to have to suffer longer spells of so- briety. Magistrate Matheson said he was losing patience with repeat- ers and warned that "from now on a third drunkeness charge will get a minimum six month ssentence." Usual sentence is 30 days. Convict-Garh, London, Aug. 19--(CP)--A change in the style of present-day convict garb and increased comforts for "trusties," are among recommenda- tions made in the annual report of Britain's prison commissioners. The special privileges, to be al- lowed at the discretion. of prison governors to certain classes of of- fenders, include the hanging of pic- tures in cells, use of bedspreads, tbale-covers, floor mats, books and fountain pens. "Vomen will be per- mitted to hang curtains. . Convicts with a high conduct rating also will be allowed to spend their spare time enjoying such ap- proved pastimes as chess, draughts, jig-saw puicles, painting and draw- ing. But playing cards, even for a game of solitaire, is forbidden. Britain Plans to Improve Conditions The shapeless clothing, marked with broad arrows, for years the recognized convict garb, is going out. In future "long-term ore dinaries," will be clothed in a blue jacket, with a grey ring, and grey trousers. v The fashion note for corrective institutions, such as Borstall, is giv en in this directive: "Bluette ties should be worn with grey or blue jackets and brown ties with brown jackets, But grey and blue ties of the old pattern will be used up be- fore bluette "es are issued. The new order also stipulates that all prisoners should be allowed a waistcoat. For outside work, long- term prisoners will get roll-heck sweaters. x g $0 --_- easy to drive -- so simple to park--and so handy in traffic. They'te economical on gas, too--up to 40 miles er gallon!
