The new committee which will operate independently of the re- cently-created fuel economy board, has under consideration several measures it hopes will prevent re- currence of last winter's drastic re- straints on 'supplies.

Notificafiori has heen sent by the Department to. school inspectors in all parts of the province requesting them to bring this only Canadian showing of the fabulous art. treas- ures to the attentign of teachers and educational groups. The first shipment of these art treasures, valued at 45-million dol- lars, arrived in Toronto on July 11, accompanied by Dr. Emst H. Buschbeck, curator of pictures at the Kunsthistorisshes Museum in Vienna. While in transit and while heing installed at the Art Gallery, the treasures were closely guarded by a corps of plain clothes and uni- formed police. The second shipment is scheduled to arrive in Toronto on July 18. The collection consists of some of the world's most famous paint- ings by the greatest artists of all time, arms and armour, bronzes, sculptures, gold and precious stones, tapestries and priceless pieces of decorative art. It was acquired by members of the Royal Family of Hapsburgs over four centuries and is now the property of the Austrian State Museums in Vienna.

Diefenbaker Hits (Government On Ming Sung Deal Moose Jaw, Sask. (CP)--John Diefenbaker, Progressive Conservative member of parliament for Lake Centre, Sask., said last night the Ming Sung Corporation was exempted from all but $100 federal income tax in 1950. The corpora- tion is allowed by a directive of the cabinet to operate Cana- dian-registered ships with Chinese crews between Hong Kong and the Chinese Communist port of Canton. Mr. Diefenbaker told a public meeting here the income tax ex- emption was provided for by a gov- ernment order of May 11, 1950, but it was concealed. until last month, He said he has learned that the Ming Sung Corporation was incor- porated in Prince Edward Island, although the solicitors were* in Montreal, "to escape income taxa- tion in Quebec." The Ming Sung Corporation was the centre of hot debate in parlia- ment last month when opposition members questioned the govern- ment's action in allowing Canadian- registry ships to be manned by Chi- nese crews. Mr. Ditfenbaker covered four other points in the controversy. He said: (1) The company made default in payment April 12, 1951, but no action was taken by the govern- ment as the company asked for a postponement because some of the ships had been held up in harbor ®- and unable to earn money. The Canadian government, by order-in- council, had guaranteed bank loans for nine ships to be used by the Nationalist government of China, Before the ships were built, the Communists took over the Chinese government. (2) When the exemption was granted allowing for a Chinese crew, the Canadian order-in-couh- cil was thought to be unlawful by the government of Hong Kong and the British then passed an order- in-council to confirm it. (3) On Nov. 17, 1950, there was a letter to the effect that the Hong Kong government objected for "some political reason" to the Chile nese crew. (4) An agreement was made be- tween the government and the Ming Sung Corporation March 15, 1950, covering seven ships and guaran- teeing the three banks concerned $12,750,000.
