Newspapers Chorus Criticism 'While immediate support for the government's emergency plans were pledged by employer and worker leaders on the Labor Ministry's National Joint Advis. ory Council, newspapers, irres. pective of their political policy, generally were critical, Lord Beaverbrook's Daily Ex. press commented on the high price paid for the "folly of the American loan and the chaos that has frittered away time, re- sources and hopes in the land of Britain." The influential Times said that although Attlee's responsibility was to announce measures to en- able Britain to pay its way and make provision for her people, he had given no asurance that the responsibility had been met. The Times said too much of the gov= ernment's program still was in general terms and a 'decision for courage and leadership" was needed t. make it into a "real program of recovery." Not Convincing The Conservative Daily Graph. ic said the cuts announced by the government would "do little to convince the working people of Britain , , . that their own stand- ards of life are at stake." The pro-Labor Dally Herald said the country's difficulties were grave enough but "there is nothing in our situation to justi. fy & depression." The Financial Times declared he erisls plan "carried an air of improvisation and vague- $0 the way and means of if out aspirations." @ the details of the crisis B still were being worked an need that ex- Treasury, Board Canadian Sea Cadets En Route to U.K. of Trade and Foreign Office would leave "in a day or so" for Washington to begin "high offi. cial level" discussions with the United States, A nanpnouncement on the points and values of the new British food ration is expected in a few days. Meanwhile it is understood Foed Minister Strachey will take some time to consider whether he can avoid a food cut which some ministers believe to be impossible, Under the, proposed 30-per- cent deerease in Britain's food im- ports (about $12,000,000 month- ly) Argentina probably will be harder hit than the United States but the position of Canada is seen as generally not affected. Imports of most Canadian sta. ple foodstuffs are covered by long-term contracts mostly run. ning to 1950, Urges Agreement With Soviet Yesterday during the debate in Commons Konni Zilliacus, left wing Labor critic, urged the gov. ernment to 'split the difference" with Russia in renegotiating a trade agreement, Trade talks be- tween Britain and Russia broke down jn Moscow recently after weeks of discussion, He suggested that the millions of tons of grain Britain could get from the Sov- fet would bring down the price of grain in the United States, While under the food euts ho- tel and restaurant meals for Bri. tons are likely to be less substan- tial it is considered unlikely that a coupon system will be introduc. ed.

R. HUESTIS, Manager SEpp---- Foreign Industry Capital Flow Into South Africa FRANK SMIITH C Press Correspondent Johannesburg,--(CP)-- More and more foreign capital is flowing into the Union and a large-scale shift~ ing of factories from overseas to South Africa now is in progress. Even the Itallans--onee enemiss of the Union--are transferring whole factories, and it is learnt that with- in the next year or two, factories valued at £40,000,000 ($160,000,000) will be transferred from Italy to South Africa. Italian, French and Swiss bankers are financing the venture, and equipment of one of these factor- ies is already on its way to the Un- ion, According to the Northern Trans- vaal Chamber of Industries, United States and British firms have more than £50,000,000 ready for invest- ment in the Union, According to that organization, amount of capital in the United States alone, ready for investment in South Africa, would be about $100,000,000, Three firms have $5,- 000,000 each for investment here. In Great Britain, there is probably more than £25,000,000. Of about 40 British factories, the chamber's re- presentatives contacted more than half were going into the question of whether it would pay them to establish factories in the Union. The group said it had advised United States industrialists to make personal investigations of the Un- ion before deciding to branch out in South Africa, so that there would be no misunderstanding of the market. American industrialists were inclined to asszss the consum- er potential at the total popula- tion of the Union, and consequent- ly to expect it to be about one- quarter of Great Britain's, not realizing that the spending power '| per capita of the whole population -- European and non-European -- was very low. It is understood that the Italians, who are transferring factories to the Union lock, stock and barrel, are doing this because of the un- certain economic condition now pre- vailing in Europe, The factories will be spread all over the country, Among them are a £5,000,000 alcohol plant, which will be established in Natal and will, it is reported, have some con- nection with the Union Govern- ment's plans to manufacture oil and gasoline from coal. A big iron and steel factory will also be established to exploit South African iron ore. Seed Grade Prizes Fixed In response to many requests by seed growers for some guidance in the establishment of uniform and satisfactory prices for various grades of seeds, the Seed Market~ ing and Publicity Committee, On- tario Cr Improvement Associa~ tion, - announces the following prices recommended at a recent m eeting. Fall Wheat: Commercial No, 1, $2 per bushel; Registered No, 1, $2 per bushel; Commercial No. 1, (Cornell 585), $2 per bushel; Regis- tered No. 1, (Cornell 595), $3 per bushel, Rye: Commercial No. 1, $3 per bushel; Registered No. 1 (Horton variety) $3 per bushel. Winter barley: Commercial No. 1, $2 per bushel; Registered No, 1, (Wong variety) $2 per bushel, Keen demand exists for fallwheat end rye as a cash crop, also for use on farms as feed and peed, so the committee recommends at least a 10 per cent increase in the acre- age of fall wheat seéded in 1947. WwW. E. on, Freeman, Hal- ton County, is chairman of the committee, which includes farmer representatives and departmental officials from various sections of Ontario. R. E.

TODAY there are 24 Ambassadors, High Commissioners and Ministers representing their governments at Canada's capital. Striking evidence, that, of Canada's new place among modern nations! We emerged from the war a far greater country than we ever were in pre-war days, Peacetime accomplish. ments are maintaining that new greatness today. In the 80's we had a High Com: missioner in London, and an Agent-General in France--but we had little say in our foreign affairs. Canada negotiated with foreign powers through the British Foreign Office, with Empire countries through the British Colonial Office. In World War | Canada won the right to a separate signature to the Treaty of Versailles, That made 1919 an important date for us, Then, in 1931, we and the other Dominions gained recognition as equal partners with the United Kingdom. World War I1...Canada's achieve- ments in battle overseas and in production at home won us world recognition as a modern power. The great majority of the embassies at Ottawa were established during the war years. GUY PURSER is a young Canadian who started in 1931 with a gasoline station. Today, as a result of applying his know- ledge of motor cars, his energies and 'tal- ents to the full, he has developed a unique business in automotive service. His suc- cess has enabled him to fulfill a long nourished ambition to train and ride his own jumping horses, taking part success. fully in open competition, and to turn his dramatic abilities profitably to playing leading roles GUY PURSER says: "I'm glad I decided to follow my career in Canada. There were opportunities when I started out, There are much greater ones now. No ldnger need young Canadians go beyond our borders to follow the road to success. It lies before them in Canada today." in motion pictures.
