"Canadian Editors Urge Postponement Of Royal Visit Prime Minister Sends Cable That |. People Understand By The Canadian Press Many Canadian newspapers stressed today that in view of the grave illness of the King, Princess Elizabeth should feel under no obligation to fulfil her Canadian tour, sche- duled to open Oct. 2. Prime Minister St. aurent Saturday sent a message saying that the Canadian people would un- |! derstand if it became necessary to fancel the visit. In a similar message, Mayor Arthur Reaume of Windsor, Ont., advised the Princess Sunday many Canadians feel that her place now is beside her father. The press of Canada agreed. Following is editorial comment of representative newspapers across the country: Ottawa Journal: "She should be released from any sense of obliga- tion to maintain her plans. . . much as we all regret the necessity, there are other things more im- portant at the moment." Toronto Telegram: "Each mem- ber of a family will understand the anxiety any daughter would be undergoing at this minute. This worry for Princess Elizabeth should not be increased by the pressure of a tour of Canada, un- dertaken under the most difficult conditions." Montreal Gazette: "No obliga- tion for the royal tour must allow a conflict with the deeper, more solemn desire to be near the King and Queen at this time of un- doubted crisis. . ." Montreal Star: "In this country there is no thought but the warm and human feeling that a tour post- poned or cancelled would be a tiny price to pay if the continued pre- sence of the daughter would help the father back to health and strength." Toronto Globe 'and Mail: "The gesture, (Mr. St. Laurent's tele- gram) we are sure will be appre- ciated in London. But the way in which it is worded still leaves the onus of making the decision with the Princess and the royal family. This is not right. Under the cir- cumstances, she should be re- lieved of the necessity of making PS A 4 that decision by a postponement of the tour." Halifax Chronicle - Herald: "No member of the royal family could be expected to enjoy such a tour while His Majesty lies ill and with no assurance that his life is not in the balance. To expect Princess Elizabeth and her consort to come to this country at this time... Would be thoughtless and heart- ess." Vancouver Daily Province: "It would be a fine and toughtful gesture on the part of Canadians if our government were to suggest to London immediately that the royal tour be postponed so that the Princess would remain in London to comfort her father during this worrisome time." ' Winnipeg Free Press: "'Such a visit, if it now proves possible, will unquestionably demonstrate the admiration and affection which Canadians generally feel for the royal family..." Victoria Colonist: 'It can be taken for granted that only the gavest developments will be allow- ed to deter Princess Elizabeth and Prince Philip from making the trip. Members of the British royal family are meticulous in observ- ance of their public duties. . . Some thought might well be given, how- ever, to reducing the engagements facing the Princess and her hus- band on this side.... It would be a considerate gesture to show the nation's sympathy by easing the strain as much as possible. World News In Brief Mrs. M. C. SENN DIES Caledonia, Ont. (CP) -- Mrs. Mark C.

Premier Angus Macdonald, of Nova Scotia, and Premier Leslie Frost, of Ontario, appeared in per- son while the premiers of every other province were heard in mes- sages they had specially recorded for the occasion. Present also on the platform were Mayor Hiram McCallum, of Toronto, and officials of The Bank of Nova Scotia who say the building they had planned 20 years ago officially opened. The new Bank of Nova Scotia Building -- twice as high as Ni- agara Falls, with floor space one and a half times that of the Rom- an Coliseum--is the third largest financial structure to be complet- ed in recent years at Toronto's main intersection. Government and business leaders cited this as evi- dence of Canada's growing econ- omy which has become more and more sustained by Canada' s own ef- forts. "It is a sign and a symbol of the faith the bank has in its own fu- ture and in Canada," said Premier Masdonald. "Works of this sort are not undertaken by the faint of heart and dull of soul." "Ontario has many treasured contacts with Nova Scotia," said Premier Leslie Frost of Ontario. "Those in our public life and in our private businesses who stem- med from the lone shielings of our sea-girt sister province on our eastern shore are legion and their contributions to Ontario's growth and prosperity are numberless. "Just when the Commonwealth was on the verge of the Boer War, the Bank of Nova Scotia in 1897 opened its first branch in Toronto. In doing so, it established two sig- nificant notes -- first that it had grown in stature far beyond its small beginnings in Halifax and second that it recognized the great potential of Ontario in industrial and financial enterprise. "How well its vision was justi- fied is borne out today in the for- mal opening of this great building -- itself tangible evidence both of the growth of Canada and of The Bank's contribution to that growth. "We of Ontario are proud that Toronto should be selected -- and so aptly selected--to be the driving centre of so great a power in the building of our growing importance '|among the nations of the world. As Ontario forges ahead to new 'fields to conquer, The Bank will go with us. This building will be a reminder to all Canadians that thrift and integrity, loyalty and Bank of Nova Scotia Building Opened At Noon Today In Toronto! Toronto -- A lic lie - gover- | nor, provincial 'PFemiers, Minister of Finance, the governo Importation | Restrictions Said Unfair Geneva (AP) The United | States restrictions on the import of cheese and other dairy products through an amendment to the de- fence production act were flatly labeled yesterday a violation of | American commitments under the | general agreement on tariffs and | trade. Representatives of two countries --Canada and the Netherlands -- told the members of GATT their | governments are considering retali- | atory measures against the United | States. Johann Melander, chairman of the contracting parties now in ses- sion here, told the delegates that the U.S. measure is "an infringe- ment of the general agreement, but the executive branch is making ef- forts to have it repealed. If these ef forts are not successful, action will have to be considered under ar- ticle 23." Article 23 provides for action against parties nullifying or im- pairing the benefits of the agree- ment. The acting head of the Canadian delegation, C. M. Isbiter, said that "depending upon events in the next week or two, Canada is pre- pared to lodge a complaint at this the first time provincial members, a cabinet minister, rail and bank heads have been heard from a single platform, but it is the first occasion in Canada when televi- sion has been used to give specta- tors a ring-side seat at an outdoor ceremony. A mobile television stu- dio transmitted the program to nearly 2,000 of Canada's financial and industrial leaders assembled in the fourth floor dining rooms of the new" building. While crowds watched the actual performance on King Street, thousands more around the corner on Bay Street viewed the ceremonies in other television gets mounted in the bank windows.

Isbiter said the U.S. restrictions on imports of cheese and dairy products had 'far - reaching ef- fects on Canadian producers." He said it was "difficult to find any support for the contention that U.S. cheese producers were in difficulty since the market price today is above the support price." Williard Thorp, assistant U.S. Secretary of State and head of the U.S. delegation said a bill to re- peal the measure was before con- gress and the administration hoped for early action. ..orp said the U.S. action must not be interpreted as a basic change in United States policy. The United States support for GATT, he said, was unchanged. The contracting parties agreed to retain the item on the agenda hop- ing that action would be taken in Washington before the end of the session in about five weeks.
