Purchases | Assisted Canada | Two Ways In 1948 Ottawa, Dec. 14--(CP) Canada | received nearly $6000,000,000 in Un- ited States funds through European Recovery purchases during 1948 and herself provided about $150,000,000 in financial help to Britain and other countries. The ERP. purchases really amounted to United States financ- ing of goods which Canada in nor- | | mal times would have sold to oth- ers anyway. Its importance tq Can- i! The ERP. purchases were a ma- | Jor source of U.S. currency and did | much to rebuild Canada's dwind- i ling supply of foreign exchange dur- || ing the year. Resérves of gold and | U. 8. dollars had risen from a low of $451,000,000 to $700,000,000 when the government stopped announcing the total in June. Moreover it substantially slowed the contraction of Canadian trade with Europe which began to set in with the exhaustion of this coun- try's ability to make further heavy contributions to foreign recovery. In an appearance before the spe- cial Commons committee on prices in the spring, Graham Towers, gov- ernor of the Bank of Canada, frank- ly expressed his fear that without the shot in the arm E.R.P. provided, Canada's export trade with Europe would have virtually ceased before the year was half-finished. Canadian contributiens to Euro- pe&in recovery drew to a close early in the year when it became neces- sary--as a result of the Dominion's own shortage of foreign exchange-- to freeze the United Kingdom cre- dit. Britain received about $52,000,000 from the credit during the year. France, China and the Netherlands received most of the balance of the FOR CHRISTMAS HOSPITALITY 2' we-war Price.....28¢ $150,000,000 Canada extended in cre- dits in 1948. Despite ERP. trade with Eu- rope was slowing down in the last half of the year. Canadian timber exporters faced substantial reduc- tions in British orders and there was uncertainty as to when nego- tiations on new orders would begin. Fruit and vegetable canners were disturbed when the British Food Ministry began increasing its pur- chases from non-dollar countries and placed large orders in Portugal. Except for wheat, cuts were ex- pected in all the main United King- dom food contracts. The trend was in line with a warning given by Sir Stafford Cripps, British Chancellor of the Exchequer, during a visit to Otta- wa early in the autumn, The chan- cellar made it clear that his coun- try intended to achieve its econ- omic - salvation by spartan means even 'if it proved painful for other countries as well. British purchases in Canada, he warned frankly, would be reduced to the minimum. Wherever possible the United Kingdom, under the compulsion of its acute financial difficulties, would get its supplies from non-dollar countries. To soften the impact of British policy in any way possible, a "con- tinuing committee" was appointed to study Anglo-Canadian economic relations. Its members are tenta- tively scheduled to hold their first meeting in London early in the new year. Ulverston, Lancashire, England-- (CP)--When the Ulverston Ama- teur Operatic Society produced the musical show, ,'The Earl and the Girl," the conductor, Fred Pilking- ton, refused to conduct during per- formances of the Can-Can dance. The orchestra played on. Pilking- ton, a lay reader at Ulverston Church, does not approve of the Can-Can, Spy Probers Plan To. Use Lie-Detector Washington, Dec. 14--(AP)--Con- gressional spy probers called "a very important" witness today as they pondered a new move to invoke lie-detector tests. Mystery cloaked the latest pro- ceeding of the Un-American Activi- ties Committee. But it was obvi« ous the committee hoped for a major break before the special Fed- eral grand jury now sitting in New a ends its work Thursday. United States in the late 1930s, the period when Whittaker Chambers, confessed ex-Communist, said he was receiving seerét government in- formation for relay to Moscow. Without explanation, the commit- tee called off an "emergency meet- ing" tentatively set for Monday night' and rescheduled it for this morning. The postponement came after committee members conferred by telephone with Representative Richard Nixon (Rep. Calif), who was in New York yesterday for the grand jury's session. Nixon took Chambers' "pumpkin papers" to New York Mgfiday. These were the microfilms committee agents fished out of a pumpkin on Chambers' Maryland farm two weeks ago. The microfilm record shows some of the secrets Chambers claimed were sent' to him by Alger Hiss, former high official in the State Department, and others, during the time the asserted spy ring was at work here. Both Hiss, who s repeatedly denied any such tivity, and Chambers have been questioned anew by the grand jury since the new turn in the spy case. Ontario Rustling Scorned In West North Battleford, Sask.-- (CP). -- Many a western lip curled in scorn when recent ~news dispatches told of "cattle rustlers" operating in eastern Ontario. Throwing a few cows into a two-ton truck - and speeding off into the night isn't, in the western view, cattle rustling. It's plain theft. The North Battleford Optimist expressed western thought when, discussing operations of cow thieves near Cornwall, Ont., it editorially took to task those who term such overall-clad, truck-driving thieves "eattle rustlers." In the view of this weekly news- paper such stealthy, small-time thefts are "enough to make an old- time, honest-to-goodness cattle run- ner turn over in his grave and reach for a rope to help string 'em up himself." Appealing to newspapers and news agencies "not to help muddy a page of the glorious history of the great open spaces by dignifying their op- erations as "cattle rustling'," the OPtimist's editorial continued: "The way these piddling cattle thieves operate would bring a sneer to the lips of a rustler of the old, old west who had any pride in his occupation and reputation. . .They wouldn't know what it was to hand over a thousand head of steers, make a real clean-up and gallop off to hide-out or re range with the sheriff and his posse shooting the air full of holes behind them." Walter J. Gilhooly, the Optimist's president' and author of the editor- ial, is a doughty westerner, albeit a recent one. He left his native Ot- tawa just a year ago last Spring.
