"Upon yeceiving this report, the government of the People's Re- public of China undertook an inves- ligation through, various channels which revealed that the transport involved was. actually a British- owned transport aircraft . . . ."

Unless the Soviets have changed their stand on_ several basic issues affecting European security, the plan for an early East-West conference is umaccep- table. 2.

The new attack, 180 miles northeast of Saigon, came as Peiping radio trumpeted a pledge by Red Viet- minh chief Ho Chi Minh to "liber- ate" the lower half of the par- titioned Indo-China state. In north Viet Nam, which for- mally passes into Vietminh hands Tuesday under the Geneva agree- ment, the French got ready to evacuate up to 1,000,000 civilians and fighting men. The giant opera- tion is set to begin Wednesday. A French high command spokes- Vietminh Make Below Dividing man said the rebel attack in, the south began Saturday. He said the Vietminh struck at Nha Trang, on the China sea coast. Rebel com- mandos sabotaged several bridges Nha Trang after Vietminh artil- lery had bombarded the coastal town's defences. The rebels also attacked French and Viet Namese positions at Qui Nhon, 100 miles north of Nha Tran and struck at Tuy Hoa, midway between the two towns. Other Vietminh forces brought pressure on Cheo Reo, a post 60 miles southwest of Qui on on central Viet Nam's plateau. Gen. Paul Ely, French commander-in- chief in Indo-China, warned the rebels to stop or face mass air Attack Line The step-up of fighting in the south, just as the cease-fire is about to go into effect, appeared based. on a Vietminh desire to show their strength to communi- ties which will not be under their control. Peiping radio has broadcast statements by both Ho and Viet- minh Gen. Vo Nguyan Giap to the effect that south Viet Nam was only temporarily in French hands, regardless of the cease-fire 0 was quoted as saying "the demarcation line does not mean the political and 'territorial border line.

"Unemployment hangs over us, like a big black cloud. We are look- | ing to the senior governments to take the initiative on this matter" His Worship continued. Mayor Naylor followed up his re- cent attack on governmental in- competence to meet the unemploy- ment problem in Canada and Sat- urday he demanded re-allocation of tax sources and the re-defining of government jobs. He re-affirmed his opinion that the federal govern- ment is unable to cope with the situation and fails to keep pace with changing conditions. Drawing their attention to "the fact that all three levels of Gov- ernmen were represented on the platform, Mayor Naylor told his audience that in the last fifty years Canada has made more progress, or rather changes, than in some hundreds of years be- fore that time. NEW PROBLEMS He said 'the functions and ex- penditure of every government has been accelerated, and today we are facing many new problems which have been created by these changes. I think we will all agree that one of the most serious prob- lems facing us at the present time is that of unemployment, "Despite the experience of the Thirties, and forgetting the strong criticisms of the government of that time, the federal authorities are now facing a recession which may become quite serious, and they find themselves unprepared to cope with the situation. "Unfortunately, our govern- ments have not kept pace with a rapidly changing social and eco- nomic life caused for the most part by the industrial and tech- nical progress and development of the last thirty or forty years.

What we need is a re-defining of responsibilities and functions right down the line, especially in respect to unemploy- ment, educaton and other social services, and a re-allocating of tax sources so that municipalities may regain some of their local autonomy and self RESOURCES RICH "Canada is one of the finest countries in the world in which to live. She is rich in resources, and her political heritage and free- dom are second to none.

At ) A PICNIC (Continued on Page 3) Gas Pipe Line OTTAWA (CP) -- The board of tr rt commissi s today granted Trans-Canada Pipe Lines, Ltd., a conditional permit to build a $300,000,000 natural gas pipeline from Alberta to eastern Canada. The issi s' decision al- lows Trans-Canada to go ahead with financing and other moves with a view to a start on construc- tion by next spring. The 2,200-mile line--longer than any now in exist- ence--would be completed by late 1956 under present plans. It will run as far east as Mont- real, bringing relatively - cheap Alberta gas to western communi- ties along the route of the CPR, to the prospective main market of Toronto and to many other On- tario centres including this federal capital. : diversion southward from Win- nipeg will feed the United States' market in the Minneapolis area. TWO REQUIREMENTS The "interim" permit, the board indicated, will be followed by a firm and final one if the company satisfies the commissioners by Dec. 31 that: 1. It has completed arrange- ments for the huge financing job, one of the largest ever undertaken by a Canadian company. 2. It has obtained--or will--a federal export permit for shipment of gas to the U.S. e company has indicated it ex- pects to be able to meet the con- ditions by the year-end It asked the board, at hearings in mid-June for only the conditional permit to Given Go-Ahead enable it to proceed with the nest stages of the undertaking, These are the signing of tracts with public utility firms od industrial consumers alo: the route, and the arrangements for disposing of the $299,139,000 worth of securities to finance 'the big pipe. UPHOLD COMPANY : On two points of controversy-- the route of the pipeline northern Ontario and the size of the pipe between Winnipeg and Toronto--the board judgment up- held proposals of the company. The board expressed approval of the company's Ban to parallel roughly the CPR route across northern Ontario from the Lake- head, through Nipigon, Schreiber, Marathon, wk Junction, Chap- leau, Sudbury and North Bay, thence to Toronto. However, it left to. Trans-Canada the option of taking a mere north- erly course provided con tion costs, in relation to prospective markets, would not be out of line. The northern route fought by a ong - it, -| group of communities would swing up from Nipigon through the "Clay Belt" and serve Timmins, Kirkland Lake, Kapus- kasing and Cochrane before ai ping back down to North Bay.
