Failure Of W Reds Use Cafes To Gossip In Undercut Costly Phamplets By JAMES TAYLOR Bangkok, Sept. 20-- (Reu ters) -- Communist propagan- dists in Thailand are exploiting one of the cheapest methods of information dissemination in southeast Asia--coffee-shop rumors. For every newspaper reader among Thailand's scatter- ed population of 18,000,000, there are at least 10 persons who read little, if at all. But all of them drink coffee and spread gossip in public places. It is significant that the Com- munist propaganda technique here does not attempt mass conversion to party ideology. The rumors are passed in simple, colloquial lan- guage; there is no attempt to in- sert the usual party dogma or dia- lectics. Phrases like *"Anglo-Ameri- can imperialists" have no place over a cup of coffee. West Propaganda Dull Western propaganda, in the form of multi-lingual printed informa- tion bulletins, is in direct contrast. To untutored Thai minds, it could seem almost morosely dull in its studiously-reasoned arguments, its strict adherence to facts -- and its patent indications of crusading pur- se. PoThe bulk of American and Brit- ish propaganda here is the 'product of elaborate toil, expensive plan- ning and presentation. Its receptive readers are the educated people, who form only about one per cent of the country's population. The Communist-inspired rumors have the mob appeal. The Red propaganda machine is geared to a fine understanding of the vulner- able spots in the psychology of the majority of Asians. Element of Doubt Planted Few Thai people wholly believe the coffee-shop. gossip which they themselves spread. But it suffices for the Communist purposes that a residue of doubt and suspicion re- mains in their minds. In coffee-shop parlance, the anti- Communist Western Powers fight- ing in Asia are grouped simply un- der the common label of "foreign= ers." Similarly simple is the defi- nition of Russia and its satellites merely as "The Peoples' govern- ment."

The three, Jane Gulp, 20, of To- .| ronto, Elgin ast, 25, of Windsor, Ont,, and Gaston Gariepy, 23, of a Sarre, Que., pleaded innocent to the charge. They were sentenced to a $25 fine or one month in jail. They chose to go to jail. The three brought to 17 the number of Baptist preachers jailed at Amos, Que. in recent weeks, after being found guilty of similar charges, The Union of Regular Baptists of Ontario and Quebec has 'disputed the city by-law under which the lay preachers have been arrested and sentenced. At Montreal, Rev. J. R. Arm- strong, secretary-treasurer of the union, said delegates of the Bap- tist sect will air their views before the Val D'Or city council Sept. 25.

Liquor Price Boosts Are Announced Toronto, Sept. 20--(CP)--Liquor- price boosts of from 15 to 35 cents a bottle were announced Tuesday night by the Ontario Liquor Con- trol Board. Canadian rye whiskies now selling at about $4 are boosted 25 cents on a 26-ounce bottle; $3.40 lines are up 35 cents; bottles at $3.20, $2.95 and $2.85 are up 30 cents. Canadian gins generally are increased 25 cents. The new prices go into effect Thursday. The boosts are the result of price increases by some Canadian distil- lers and of the recent hike in Fed- eral tax on spirits, Brig. J. Spragge, Liquor Control Board comptroller, said in a statement. Canadian Highland whiskies, im- ported Scotch and Irish whiskies, imported cognac and brandy, im- ported gins and rums and liquers will cost 20 cents more. Reason for these increases are the tax boost and higher import duties, Brig. Spragge said: In most cases the price of 12- ounce bottles is increased by half of the boost on 26-ounce bottles. In some cases, the smaller bottle has been increased by only 15 cents.

He suggested, in an address pre- pared for delivery before the joint annual meeting of the Canadian and American Bar Asscejations, that an informal committee be set up Jo study the elii.aination of "un- necessary variations" in those laws in the two countries. This, he felt, would permit a freer exchange of those 'commodi- ties between the two countries. At present, varying regulations some- times block the export and import of foods and drugs. Proposed Committee His proposed committee would include members of the American and Janadian Bars who are parti- cularly interested in food and drug legislation and Government officials from both countries who a. con- cerned with its. enforcement. "r can assure you," said Mr. Mar- tin, "that the Government of Can- ada is interested in achieving more uniform food and drug lL s. "I% will give sympathetic consi- deration .0 any changes recom- mended as necessary and desirable for Canada and the United States and, perhaps later on, the United Kingdom and other countries." Elimination of the variations & 4 the freer interchange of com- modities between Canada and the United States. This step, too, "might encourage similar discussions be- tween other countries." - Might Affect World Trade This action could "have the far- reaching effect of increasirz inter- national t ade an. as a conse- quence, of furthering the vrosper- ity of the world's peoples." R. E. Curran, legal adviser to the Canadian Health Departmeat, also addressed the meeting 2nd cutliced the technical differences between food and drug legislation in Canada and the United States.

Har- old Rea, president of Canadian Oil Companies. The plant will start processing Alberta crude oil in April, 1952, he said in a speech to employees of the company refinery here. An estimated 5,000,000 barrels will be moved yearly to Froomfield from Superior, Wis., eastern end of the interprovincial pipe line, in which Canadian Oil has a $900,000 in- terest. Will Have Big Output The refinery's annual output will be 105,000,000 gallons of gasoline, plus diesel, stove, furnace and heavy fuel oils and other products, Mr. Rea said. The plant could easily be switched to production of aviation gasoline. In a national emergency, it could supply butylene 'and ethane-ethyl- ene, synthetic rubber components, to the federally-owned Polymer Corporation plant at Sarnia, two miles away. "Western Ontario's acute short- age of natural gas for domestic Big Refinery For Alberta Oil Planned at Froomfield the sale of refinery gases to local industries," Mr. Rea said. Froomfield now is the site of Canadian Oil's marine terminal and tank farm. It is linked with the smaller refinery here by a four- inch pipeline. The local refinery will switch from United States to Alberta oil on completion of the 1,150-mile prairie pipe line, sched- uled for next spring. Will Save Dollars Mr, Rea estimated that use of Alberta oil in the Petrolia and Froomfield operations will save an estimated $17,500,000 a year on United States funds. The Froomfield refinery will be on a 200-acre site, with another 200 held in reserve for possible ex- pansion. Storage tanks with a capacity of 31,500,000 gallons will be erected to augment the exist- ing 12,775,000-gallon Froomfield capacity.
