Donald Report Stresses Mining INDUSTRY FACES BIG EXPANSION IN MANITOBA Twenty nine lines of industry, either to be launched at new ventures or expansions of ones already existing, are named as possibilities for Manitoba In a 400 page report by Donald, Ross A Montreal consulting engineers, engaged two years ago by the Industrial Development Board of Manitoba to make an Industrial survey of the province's resources. The report was requested about the time the wartime cordite plant of Defence Industries at Transcona was about to be dismantled and efforts were being made to determine whether all or part of It could be utHlied In peacetime Industry. The job of making the survey was assigned to J. T. Donald, member of the firm which made the report (A summary of contents of the Donald report appears on pages 8 and 9 In todas Tribune.) Mr.

Donald started his investigation In the late summer of 1945. Coplen of his report were submitted early In the. year and released for publication a t( 4l I I In Its general summary It states ponce Ke ineck Clues as Holdup Trail Fades City police today appeared no nearer solution of Monday's daylight robbery of the Bank of Toronto, Sherbrook and Westminster, despite two days of intensive Investigation. Superintendent Robert Taft, who la In charge of the Investigation with Detective Inspector David Nicholson, reported "nothing doing" In answer to reporters" questions this morning. Authorities declined to enlarge on Tuesday's statement by Chief Constable Charles Mac Ivor that Indications pointed to the hold up bolng "the work of local gangt" ieieciives cnecning and re ehetking the statements of people who were In the bank when a trio of bandits staged a lightning rob bery about 11.30 a.m.

Crescent Taxi Company driver, Goertzen was bound and gagged at gun point and tied to a tree on Cambridge St. by two of the gunmen who used his cab as get away car. The investigation spread across Canada as circulars were issued to4 all police departments in the Dominion and R.C.M.P.

patrols are constantly on the look out for answering the descriptions of the hold up" gangsters. the industrialization of Manitoba will continue to progress and that as development proceeds Industry in the province will become more diversified. Assistance of the Industrial Development Board, existing industries and the citizens at large, are of paramount Import ance, it says, in establishing and consolidating new industries. The report stresses Importance of the mining Industry In the future progress of the province. Of the 29 lilies of Industries mentioned some are already fairly well represented, and expansion of present facilities Is feasible.

The new ones under proper conditions have reasonable chance for success. As between the general recommendations with respect to some of them and particularized findings in the fourth and final volume ut the report which deals exclusively with manufacturing, there are some contradictions. In any case development of Manitoba Industry, the report says will be vitally affected by federal policies on Immigration, tariffs, and transportation. Major assets of the province are listed as its water power resources and hydro electric developments: the wide variety of raw materials, agricultural and mineral; the large potential mining areas; Winnipeg's strategic position as a distribution and transportation centre: and the unusually skilled and diversified supply of labor. "COMMUNIST" CHARGE DIBATID More Slav Groups Going Back Home Russian, Polish and Czechoslovakian families as well as Yugoslavs are leaving Canada for their homelands, representatives of four legations from Ottawa said in Winni'rwior tvlnv The statments was made to The Tribune today following reports that some 1,500 Yugoslavs Will leave Canada this year, and return to Yugoslavia.

The exodus of the Yugoslavs has brought charges that they are Communists, and that the move is Communist incited. In Winnipeg this morning, Peter Stankovic, editor of the weekly Croatian Voice, said he be! laved that "90 per cent of those going back to Yugoslavia are members of Communist organizations, and the other 10 per cent are fellow travellers who read their libera taint" Mr. Stankovic Mid that applica tions for a visa to Yugoslavia were aent by the consulate at Montreal to Belsrade for Investigation. Ap plicant were Investigated as to their political affiliations and only thoss "sympathetic to uieir name land were granted visas, he said. "Claims that persona going baek to Yugoslavia are not Com.

munista are absolutely non sense," Mr. Stankovic stated. "Those going must be real Com. munlati, or pretend to be, other. wise they would not receive visas." Mr.

Stankovic reported that oen of the Communist leaders, In a let ter to Novosti, a Toronto tri week ly, stated he would not return to Canada because the setup was far superior in Yugoslavia. According to the Croatian, Serbian and Slovenian Communist press in Canada, prospective emigrants were urged to Invest their money with the South Slav Council in Toronto to purchase machinery for Yugoslavia, continued Mr. Stan kovic. "These certificates," said Mr, Stankovic, "are alleged to be good for credit In Yugoslavia, He predicted that those with Ca nadian papers would be discouraged with conditions In Yugoslavia and to return to Canada. He be lleved 10 to 15 per cent of those Silng to Yugoslavia had Canadian papers.

'But if anyone It suspected of king critical of Yugaslavla," added Mr. Stankovic, "I presume he will not be allowed to come back, regardless to hit status."

While no definite decision hat yet been made, the likelihood Is that such a scheme will ultimate ly bs carried, It is stated hers.

On the Stage At the Met At a tourist park the area would bs under jurisdiction of the forestry branch. It would mean restriction of timber cutting and commercial fishing in the two lakes but would provide a tourist magnet, It is held.

The park area would be in the form of a big triangle, it is stated, bounded on the east by the Hudson Bay Railway and on the west by the Fun Flon Railway. With the exception of Cormorant village and summer cottages at Clearwater Lake and Cormorant Lake, the area Is unsettled; but establishment of the area as park would likely result in a building boom In simmer residences. The district was one of the most popular for United States tourists ast year and the prospects this year ere still more encouraging.

May 21 (AP) A high government source said today that at least one segment of an eventually partitioned India might stay within the British Empire as an independent dominion.

The informant would not say wether he believed this segment might be Pakistan, a separate Moslem state, or a Hindu union. He added, however that Britain had no intention of conferring Immediate dominion status on the present Interim government of India, with which the Moslems have refused to Join In writing an Indian constitu tion. The prediction was made as Viscount Addison, dominions sec retary, was called Into cabinet conferences on India's future. Britain has pledged herself to quit India by June ,1948, and has expressed the nope mai sne woum be united in a single nauon. The Indian viceroy.

No. 119 (S(Q)Lr(QJ ADVERSE BALANCE $80,600,000 OTTAWA, May 21 (CP) Canada's adverse trade with United States reacnea an an time nigh, March, an official said here Tuesday after reviewing trade Iigures issued by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics.

In March, Canada exDorterl to the United States goods valued at more than $83,000, 000 while the value of imports from that country was $165, Canada deficit was $80,600,000. The deficit In January was $56,000,000 and in February $67,. 500,00 and the total for the quar. ter was $204,100,000 or roughly twice what It was for the cor. responding quarter In 1946.

The figures do not Include gold exports which offset the adverse balance tomewhat but these drop, ped off from $28,800,000 In the; flrtt quarter last year to $22,. 700,000 thit year. As this official put it, "that Is the sad picture." It must be giving some concern to the government's economists as to what this trade trend will do to Canada's reserve of United States dollars. An adverse trade balance does not mean that Canada would have to dig l.ito its reserve of American dollars for the full amount of the deficit. There are adjustments both ways.

Last year with an adverse balance of $483,700,000 the Amer ican oouar reserve was only reduced from $1,508,000,000 to $1,244, 900,000. If Canada's reserve of American dollars Is not to receive a staggering jolt this year some of these things must happen Customers must make more of payments to Canada convert lntoU.S. Dollars. 2.
