Purpose of the mission is twofold.

First part of the job which began on this continent late in August and which will end in October when the party sails for Britain, is to survey Canadian market determine what it capital goods can be sold here. The second phase of the mission is to impress on British manufacturers of capital goods how to develop the Canadian market. To Overcome Shortage The project is all part of Britain's drive overcome her plight resulting from the dollar shortage. With trade now on a bi-lateral rather the multilateral basis, it pre necessary for Britain to increase sales to countries which are supplying her with food and raw materials. Britain, he said, hoped to pay Canada for wheat and other foods and raw materials with machinery.

British manufacturers of capital goods have been instructed, he said, to put Canadian orders at the top of their priority lists, even above orders from traditional markets. The project, Mr. Gilpin admitted, was not simple. Britain is 3,000 miles or more from the Canadian markets. United States, the traditional supplier of capital goods.

was 100 miles away. More Lumber Increasing Canadian purchases of British-made machinery would be to the advantage of both Canada and the United Kingdom, said Gilpin. If Canada will buy more. British-made machinery Britain will be able to buy more B.C. lumber and apples and Saskatchewan wheat.

The mission met Vancouver Island manufacturers at the Empress Hotel this morning and this afternoon attended a luncheon with officials of the provincial government and others.

Seven Provinces Attack Increase In Freight Rates Under this plan, there would provision for railway surpluses; rail earnings would be called on to bear only a proportion of corporate fixed charges and dividends, instead of at as at present, sums taken from annual revenue for sliced depreciation reserves would be sharply. Grounds For Appeal In their submission for the cabinet, the provinces cited three basic grounds for the appeal: 1. That the board failed to apply "proper principles" in determining the financial needs of the Canadian Pacific Railway, the company used as the for rate-making purposes.

Had the board applied these principles, the provinces contended, it would have "found that the C. P.R.'s financial position did not justify any increase in rates." 2. That the board erred by putting too much emphasis on added costs of railway labor and materials without giving enough thought to savings that could have been made through co-operation between the two big systems. 3. That the board was wrong in granting a flat percentage increase across the country, which accentuated regional "discrimination and inequalities" in rates.

Also, the failed to follow the practice of setting maximum increase amounts. Other Suggestions In the event that cabinet should send the case back to the boarda procedure the government has followed in some asked earlier that appeals the commissioners provinces be directed specifically to review these points. provinces the board "improperly" accepted the railways contention that fixed charges debt interest and the like and dividends should be paid for out of actual rail earnings. Second point the provinces wanted reviewed was the of the board fixing its increase on the basis that the C.P.R. should have a surplus of $15,000,000 after paying its dividends and other charges.

"The fact emerges, said the provincial brief, "that the primary purpose of the 21-per-cent increase in rates is to provide the Canadian Pacific with a surplus out of railway earnings of $15,235,000 over and above dividends, and this notwithstanding the fact that in 1947 the C.P.R. had a net surplus from other income of $24,788,000 before income tax. The provinces claimed that the C.P.R. spent for maintenance 000,000 more than it should have in 1947. OTTAWA (CP)- -Appealing to the cabinet against last spring's.

21. per cent railway freight rate increase, seven provincial governments today attacked the rate award as wrong in general principle and on many specific points. in a joint submission, the provinces- -all except Ontario and Quebec--asked the Governor-in-Council to throw out the award or send the whole case back to the Board of Transport Commissioners with orders to -examine particular aspects of the case. A third 'alternative proposal was that the cabinet itself revise the board judgment to conform with certain contentions of the provinces. These revisions would have the effect of knocking out most of the increase.

Russians Responsible If Another War Comes States Britain's Bevin POWERS TOLD TO WORK IN PEACE OR LEAVE BERLIN BERLIN-(P) Berlin's city government told the four pying powers today they should get out of Berlin if they cannot settle their differences. The proposal was in a resolution drafted by the executive branch of the government and read to a meeting of the City Council by Acting Mayor Ferdinand Friedensburg. The resolution asked, however, that "so long as the occupation of Germany continues" Berlin should remain under four-power control and that "no one power have any more influence in Berlin than any other." This was a slap at the Russians, who have to overthrow the legally -elected government and achieve full Communist control of the city. A Russian-controlled newspaper today says that if the Western Powers force a United Nations debate on the Berlin crisis, "a wedge will be driven into U.N.

which may split the entire world organization." Government Will Reconsider Stand On Berlin Airlift OTTAWA (CP) Breakdown of Western-Russian negotiations over Berlin means reconsideration of Canada's stand against participation in the Berlin airlift, a government source said today. There was. speculation in informed quarters that Canada will shortly follow other Dominions in announcing she will send transport planes or air crews or both to take. part in the three-monthold effort to buck the Soviet blockade. aerial, A government source said last Thursday the question of whether Canada's entry would be reconsidered depended on the outcome of the Berlin negotiations.

They were broken off yesterday. Canada's absence from the international air teams supplying Berlin has a number roots. Her officials contend she has never been officially asked. Canada felt she had no voice in German policy generally and she had no particular desire to stick her forces into a situation that could quite easily explode into war. At the same time, there was always an awareness that this policy did not entirely parallel the general Canadian policy of calling for a united front among the Western Powers.

Vishinsky directly, Bevin warned that Britain would defend herself against any Russian attack. Bevin accused the Russians of insincerity, untruthfulness and evasion.

He declared, "with all the solemnity at my disposal," that "if the black fury, the incalculable disaster of atomic war should fall upon us, all I can say is, that one power will alone be responsible for the evils which may be visited upon When he had finished talking, must be forgiven if we are susall except the Russian delegates picious.

Berlin Crisis Reaches Climax After Nine Months By The Canadian Press The Berlin crisis, which reached a climax during the week-end when the Western Powers referred it to the United Nations, has no spontaneous development. Its roots stretched back nine months. Last Dec. 15, in London, the Big Four foreign ministers' conference on a German peace treaty broke up in utter failure. The Western Powers wanted a thoroughly decentralized administration with as much power as possible concentrated in the vinces.

Russia insisted that the central government be supreme in many fields, obviously hoping in that way to increase the chances of Communist control in the new Germany. After the London break-up, the trend was toward a two Germany, one state comprising the British, United States and French occupation zones, the other the Russian zone. Western Government June 7 the Western Powers formally announced their plan for government in Western Germany.

Scared by their actions Esauoriloff says he ran away up the highway.

When the Indians drove past him on the road he went back to the place where his car had been left, but found they had (he says) run it over a bank into the ditch. He says a blue waterproof coat and a khaki logger's coat, with an eight-inch wrench and big screwdriver had been stolen from his car. Two hours later Constable Stevens, on Commercial street patrol saw two Indians in a cafe. He questioned them, then inspected their car, in which it is alleged the two coats, the wrench and the screw driver were found. Theft and wilful damage were the original charges on which the two Indians were held, but it is understood that these charges.

To Relax Import Restrictions On Fresh Vegetables WASHINGTON (P)- Finance Minister Douglas Abbott today told a press conference he hopes to relax import restrictions on fresh vegetables in time to make tomatoes, lettuce and cabbage available to Canadians during the coming winter. He said the rate of improvement in Canada's dollar balance justified such a hope. Abbott said he could make no promises or forecasts on the removal of restrictions on imports of automobiles, textiles and the numerous other consumer items involved in the austerity program adopted last November. Here for the annual conference of the governors of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank, Abbott conducted a half hours question-and-answer period with about 50 correspondents at conference headquarters.

Asked about Canada's ability to supply armaments he said that if it became necessary Canada could do it. "We did it before and no doubt we could do it again. It might require some conversion of plants."

Eleven days later a new currency system was set up in the west, to curb inflation and control, started the black-marketeers. wheels of crisis rolling in Berlin. Russia cut rail and water es into the city from the, west, imposing economic blockade on Berlin sectors which are under jurisdiction of Britain, America and France. Western observers said the blockade was a purely arbitrary decision by the Soviet Union, to drive the Western Powers from the former German capital. They didn't go.

Instead, they started a great air-lift to supply Berliners with food and other essentials, even coal. Gen. Lucius Clay, United States military governor, stated bluntly that the Russians "cannot drive us out of Berlin by any action short of war." Then, from Warsaw, came hints of what, Russia really wanted. The foreign ministers of Russia and eight Eastern European satellites issued a communique calling 'for a four-power agreement on the German problem as a whole. There was a wide belief, that Berlin was being used lever to force the Western Allies to drop, their plans for a Western German state and let Russia get a share of Ruhr production.

As the supply situation in Berlin tightened, as gas and power cuts were extended to save coal for winter, Britain, the United States and Erance decided on a new approach to Moscow. Their envoys in Berlin met Stalin. Then they held a series of meetings with Foreign Minister Molotov. military governors of Germany met in Berlin after five months without joint talks. Their discussions on the Berlin blockade and currency tangles got nowhere.

Communist demonstrators used physical pressure to try to grab control of the city, sweeping into Berlin's city hall to force evacuation of the pro-western city council. By mid-September the Berlin four-power talks were given up and back to Moscow went the diplomatic football. Molotov put forward a demand for limiting the Western Powers' Berlin air-lift to military purposes. The Western Powers sent notes Sept. 22 stating that they could not accept restrictions on the airlift; insisted on four-power control of currency circulating in Berlin; and demanded that there be no restrictions by Russia on Berlin trade.

They asked Russia whether it was prepared to lift the blockade and to set a date. Three days later Russia said in a note that the air routes cannot remain uncontrolled. At the week-end, the three Western Powers blamed the whole crisis on Russia, charged that Moscow failed to work out "in good faith" the currency agreements and was using force to po'litical advantage. They served notice the whole issue was being referred, to the United Nations Security Council.
