Canadian Registered Ships May Be Carrying Arms to Red China Poris Ottawa (CP)--The Commons last night heard the case of a fleet of Chinese ships wh ich fly the Canadian flag into Red China ports, possibly carrying war material which ev- entually is used against Canadian troops. The story was drawn to the Chamber's attention by Maj.-Gen. G. R. Pearkes, V.C., (P.C.--Nanaim 0), who urged that Canadian destroyers now in, Korean waters be sent to strip the ves- sels, one manned by a Soviet captain, of their Canadian registry. Trade Minister Howe, to whom ¢ Gen. Pearkes directed his proposal confessed the Canadian govern- ment is "not happy' about the situation, but finds itself unable to do 'anything. The ships were given Canadian registry when the Com- munists toppled the Nationalist government of China. The vessels operate between Hong Kong, Canton and Macao. ARMS 'STANDADIZATION The Chamber, spending a day on trade and defence production estimates, heard Defence Minister Claxton disclose that he has ap- pealed to Britain and the United States to try to reach agreement on standardization of a common rifle. Britain is adopting weapons of one calibre; the United States another, He made the disclosure after George Drew, Progressive Conser- vative leader, described as "frus- trating and possibly. disastrous" Britain's announced decision to adopt small arms differing from those of the U. S. The two countries along with Canada, have been try- ing to standardize weapons for five years. ' Earlier, Mr. Howe reported on the progress of his new defence production department and said the department hopes to handle $1 million worth of new aircraft ~long with other contracts for ships, guns, electronics and small arms. Gen. Pearkes broached the ques- tion of the Chinese ships after tel- ling reporters he had been in-| formed the vessels were carrying war materizls to Communist China from E2n~ Fong. TOLD NOT CONTRABAND Mr. Eowe said the Canadian go- vernme™t has been assured by the Hong Fone eovernment, under whose supervision they come, that the shins are not carrying contra- | band. If they vere, the only action | the government could take would * be to withdraw their Canadian re- gistry. The vessells -- seven originally, with two later seized by the Com- munrists -- were built in Canada after tie second world was for the Ming Sung industrial company, a Chiresz trading firm. The loans were guaranteed by the Chinese Naticnalist government and the Canadian government, All "went well," said Mr. Howe, until the Nationalist government fell. Canada then gave the vessels Canadian registry and exempted them of the requirement that they carry Canadian crews while fly- ing the Canadian flag. Ir. Howe said the government now has no direct interest in the ships, except that it guaran- teed the construction loans. Gen. Pearkes has placed a series of questions about the ships on the Comfhions order paper. He told re- porters the Min Sung firm, which operates them out of Hong Kong, has an office in Montreal. His Commons questions are based on a letter from George T. Aloyd, general secretary of the China Coast and Navigating and Engineer Officers Guild, who wrote from Hong Kong that the use of the ships "is a scandal exploited by a few Canadian speculative shy- locks." o The general quoted Aloyd as say- ing essential war materials are being carried from Hong Kong to both Macao and Canton by ships "trading under the Canadian flag and with it (the flag) painted pro- minently on their sides." Aloyd also reported that the ships "wear the Canadian ensign in Communist ports" and are manned by Chinese. One has a Russian captains. Escape Ro Roads For Refugees In War Set-Up St. Catharines (CP) -- Defence planners have already designated certain Ontario highways as refu- gee routes in case of atomic bomb attack, and other routes have been earmarked for military and official | vehicles, Maj.-Gen. F. F. Worthing- ton, Canada's civil defence coor- dinator, said Wednesday. He told the second annual On- tario traffic convention that plans should be made for road blocks and traffic officers to keep refu- gee traffic off military routes. Civil defence planning in any target area must set out a network of routes in and out of the city, with control systems to keep thém' clear of refugees. Ontario would use a color code on official maps with red for refugee roads and black for military roads. Civilians could expect to have their cars commandeered in an emergency, he said. ues" to washing or pressing a crease if your Laundry Walls are bright Cerise.
