TA [New Zealan Farmers Get More Money But Goods Just Aren't There By J. C. GRAHAM Canadian Press Correspondent : + Auckland, N.Z., Jan. 11--(CP)--For the first time in its history New Zealand is prosperity. The rapid raise in wool prices 0 The Dominion's prosperity depends very. largely on dairy produce, meat and wool, its main exports. For more than a detade prices of these goods have been rising steadily, but wool has shown the most marked increases. In 1932 returns from New Zealand's wool brought only about $18,000,000. Last year they realized $180,000,000, an dll-time record. But this increase has been dwarf- 'ed by developments this season. In e single 'year prices have jumped to about three times their former level and it is conservatively estim- ated that the season's wool cheque will be at least $450,000,000. Such a jump in a major industry presented New Zealand with the prospect of rampant inflation. Farmers would obviously have Fo more money than there were goods and services available. Australia was faced with a similar situation and. decided to deduct 20 per cent from farmers' wool cheques and use the money to balance the budget. The New Zealand govern- ment called representatives of wool- owers together and assured them "at it had no wish whatever to get 4s hands on their money, apart from the proportion that would nor- mally be paid in taxation. It also acknowledged the opposition of wool-growers to pool accounts such as introduced by the former Labor government for dairy and meat farmers, x Frozen Profits Instead it proposed that 33'4 per (cent of all wool cheques be frozen in farmers' individual accounts in the trading banks. This step was approved by the farmers. The money will not bear interest waile frozen, but also it will not be subject to taxation until it becomes available for the farmer to use. Farmers may leave up to 50 per cent of their wool cheques frozen under the same conditions if they wish. It is estimated that the mea- sure will tie up between $120,000,000 and $150,000,000. No period has been fixed for which the money will lie idle, but the position will be re- viewed after a year. Meanwhile a farmers' committee will advise the government on cases lof hardship and anomalies. It is ken for granted that hil'-country amers, who need all the money ey can get to improve and develop heir properties, and ex-servicemen newly settled on farms and in ur- igent need eof capital, will be allowed lo use some or all of the frozen por- tion of their cheques. Even after the frozen portion has been deducted from cheques, how- er, wool farmers' incomes will be far above the record levels of last year, and economists think the in- 'rease sufficient to seriously disturb he Dominion's economy. May Import More Goods Prime Minister Sidney Holland announced that the resulting eat increase in overseas funds will nable the country to afford a con- iderable increase in the volume of ed goods. Arrangements are being made to expand import cences substantially 'and in many ht ases to abolish import licensing' together. Several leading economists and many newspapers are not satisfied at this is going far enough. They re urging strongly that all import licensing, at least from soft cur- ncy areas, be abolished, A further problem plaguing the overnment is the prospect of a big in local prices of woollen goods t a time when it is striving to keep own the cost of living. As a means pf cutting state spending the gov- rnment early this year abolished many subsidies. The Prime Minis has now stated that the governme ppears to have. no alternative but o use part of the mohey obtained from Increased tax returns from armers to keep down the cost of oollen goods. Jap Leader Asks Caution n Arming 'Tokyo, Jan. 11 -- (AP) -- Prime nister Shigeru Yoshida told the orld yesterday that rearmament of pan - should not be undertaken Fithout "discreet handling as well mature 'deliberation." 'The political chief of Japan's 80,- 00,000 people named two prime easons why building up of an army ould be a serious rove: 1. Some countries are des- peritely afraid of the implica- tions of the renewal of Japanese armies. "Internally, we have every reason (0 ayoid doing anything which might 'intesify that fear." 2. The cost of rearmament "would Ipset our 'entire program for eco- omic rehabilitation." Yoshida said Japan is "ranged thole<heartedly on the side of the hited Nations" and is giving every pport to the U.N, cause "within power to give." -- BIG CLOCK .GETS REST Ottawa, Jan. 11--(CP)--The big clock in the Peace Tower of hada's 'Parliament Buildings is ping to get a two-day rest.

This development ties in with a second acceleration of Can- adian aircraft production dis- closed by the Government since Korea began. It also is related to the great shortage of aircraft engines: which is one of the major bottlenecks con- fronting the western world's preparedness. The Orenda, sometimes called the west's most powerful aviation en- gine, was designéd and developed in Canada for the CF-100 Canuck, the R.C.AF.s long-range, all-wea- ther, two-seater fighter. The two were originally conceiv- ed in the early post-war era as a team that would be produced at a moderate rate and give Canada her first important standing in the fighter-production world. But with Korea and with the engine shortage, the Orenda has been under test in California for potential use in the F-86, the U.S.- designed short-range fighter Can- ada is building for the R.C.AF. As the complement of th Canuck. The word now is that the Orenda has proved satisfactory for the double" role. The F-86 Sabres American pilots have been flying in Korea are pow- ered with an American-type en- gine. Whether the Orenda will come into use outside Canada remains to 'be seen, but its apparent capa- bilities plus the. shortage makes fhis likely in time. The engine, officials here say, has already passed into the early production stage at the A. V. Roe of Canada aircraft plant at Malton, Ont, near Toronto, but it will be months yet before its assembly-line types first begin rolling into general R.CAAF. use. The airframe construction for the two fighters has passed into the production stage, too, at Malton and at the Canadair plant near Montreal. A, V. Roe produces the Canuck, Canadair the Sabre. It. will probably be a year yet be- fore they satisfy Canada's own needs and before the plants can | tackle large orders for foreign | users, One foreign request under | consideration is Britain's bid for 300 to 400 Sabres for the R.A.F. Wife Still Has Rights Though Parted, Ruling Toronto, Jan, 11--(CP) -- A wife who is separated from her husband does not lose entirely her right to compensation in case of his acci- dental death, the Ontario Court of Appeal ruled Wednesday. The court was dealing with a $5,000 award made to Mrs, Walter Kowakowski by a jury at London, Ont. The appeal court reduced it to $3,000. ' Kowakowski was killed by a car Fin June, 1949. The jury award $13,- | 450 damages, all but $5,000 to be held in trust for the four Kowakow- ski children. John K. Martin, driv- er against whom the judgment was entered, was the appellant in the case Wednesday. The court refused to interfere with the awards to the children. Mother Wins Child In Appeals Ruling Toronto, Jan. 11 --(CP)-- Mrs. Marianne Bayless of Los Angeles, Calif, has won custody of her daughter, Sharron Lee, 12, after a Fn legal battle. The Ontario Court of Appeal Tuesday ruled that the girl is to live with her mother and step- | father in: California, rather 'han with her paternal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. William John Hen- shaw of Windsor, Ont., who sought to adopt her. The girl's mother divorced her husband, Max Henshaw, in Nevada in 1946 and took Sharron and a younger child, Guy, to California. She returned to Canada on condi- tion that her former husband would not contest her Nevada di- vorce.

Ottawa, Jan. 11 -- (CP) -- Cana= dian snowmobiles, specially design- ed and built for Arctic warfare, now are being further improved and may well be accepted as a standard North American type by the United States and Canada, This was the opinion of mili- tary officials here with reports that the Canadian tracked snow transport, dubbed the Penguin, which proved itself in the Arc- tic 'military exercise Sweet briar, has been successfully used by American forces in Korea, The report of Korean use of the Canadian troop-transporting, sled. towing vehicle came from a corres= pondent of the Manchester Guard~ ian and could not be confirmed here." Military officials said, how= ever, that the Americans possibly had put to use in Korea some of the earlier models they obtained from Canada following exercise Sweetbriar a year ago. The Americans obtained a "lim- ited quantity" of the vehicles, but have not since placed further orders, A defencé spokesman said there now is a later model which is still being improved upon. Cansiisn Arsenals Wimited, Crown rpora- tion operating seven militaty equip= ment plants in Canada; has charge of production of the Penguin for the Canadian Army.
