These cows and steers being unloaded at the CNR's stockyard in Montreal, left, will end up "on the hook", right, and shipped as dressed beef. During 1951, Canada exported 272,850 head of cattle and other livestock to the United States and 107,735416 unds of dressed meat. A large volume of meat traffic was also carried by the CNR from Chicago to New Prd through the Niagara "gateway" in southern Ontario. The U.S. embargo was imposed a year ago because of a serious outbreak of hoof and mouth disease in western Canada. It was lifted March 2. Dutch Hamlet 300 Years Ago, New York Now World Centre In 1953 the city of New York officially becomes three hundred years old. A handful of Dutchmen started it as a small settle- ment which they called Nieuw Amsterdam, on the tip of Manhattan Island. It was incorporated under the aegis of Director General Pieter Stuyvesant on February 2, 1653 when the population as 800. hs Aeon then the number of its {ghabitaite & has increased ten thousand es Millions of words have been, are being, and will be written on the various factors having a bearing on this modern phen- omenon, but there is one which is the common denominator of them doit 'vim The legend of the Du sticking Bis finger into the dike to keep out the ocean has its an- tithesis in the story of Henry Hud- son. He stuck the Half Moon's nose to the mouth of a great river. e surrounding area became in- undated with a sea -- of humanity. Which is just another instance of the versatility of the Dutch. Some may call it luck. It is true that luck had much to do with the original idea of the Half Moon's voyage. : Early in the sixteenth century Holland had a powerful merchant marine, and by the end of the century was the foremost power at sea. GOLDEN AGE | At this time the ocean route to the East Indies was discovered by | Columbus, which led to a rapid development of maritime trade be- tween the Netherlands and Lisbon in the carriage of shawls from 8 from China, Dyewood | from Sumatra and spices from the | Molucca Islands. There were through shipments to Batavia in the early seventeenth century. Tea and coffee were introduced into Europe, the former from China and the latter from Java, where the Dutch had transplanted from Arabia. It was the golden age of The Netherlands. Amsterdam was the richest city on earth, and Dutch ships most of the world's trade. The East India Company was anxious to find a short cut via the Northeast to the Indies and 80 in 1609 they fitted out Half Moon, with a sixteen or eighteen men purpose. They selected Hudson, an Englishman, to com- the expedition, because of studies of the problem with his friend, Jodocus Hondius, an ex- pert mapmaker of Amsterdam. Briefly, the accidental result was discovery of the world's most rfect natural habor which has me the gateway to the great- est industrial region ever known. Others had previously stumbled upon it, but did not have the ten- acity of 'Hudson and his crew in|] As history shows, the little shell followed the river to shallow water above Troy, and a month later sailed back to Holland with an enthusiastic report. Within a few months another ves- del was outfitted to start fur trad- 8 it the Indians on Manhattan d. This was the inception of commerce between Holland and New York. It was the gleam in eye, so to speak, that is now Holland-American Line. The first an settlement on was during the winter of 1613 when the schooner Tiger burned in the harbor and Captain n Block and his crew housed Ives in four rough shelters. site, which was guarded by fine guns, is the Battery. The Tiger's crew built another vessel which, launched the follow- ing , was the famous sixteen- ton st Restless, the precur- sor of all American shipbuilding. The same year a trading post called New Netherland was set up under license from the States Gen- Fort Amsterdam was constructed about 1618. It was bounded by Bowling Green, Whitehall, Bridge and State Streets (where the U.S. Custom House now stands) .It comprised a governor's residence, church, barracks, jail, windmill and thirty-one log houses with bark roofs--shelter for the two hundred inhabitants. Here was the beginning of Pear] Street, the oldest thoroughfare in New York. SIX-CENT TOLL The tiny settlement of Wallabout was aross the river from Peck Slip. A rowboat ferry was opera- ted by Cornells Dircksen, who owned a farm there, The fare was | three stivers in wampum, equiva- | lent to six cents. | The first governor general or| governor, was Cornelis Jacobsen May, who arrived in the vessel] Manhattan Island today is $26,500,- 000,000.00. Wouter van Twiller and Willem Kieft succeded Minuit. "Old Sil- ver Nails," Pieter Stuyvesant, last and perhaps the most colorful of the Dutch governors, who came in 1647, was something of a tyrant, although he had some lovable characteristics. In any event, the people became restive under his iron rule and appealed to the States General in Amsterdam. A democratic government was gran- ted under the corporated title of Nieuw Amsterdam complete with silver seal and coat-of-arms, on the date that is now considered to be the origin of the modern city. Nineteen delegates were appointed from various villages in Brooklyn, Staten Island, New Jersey and upstate New York. The Dutch lost control of Nieuw Amsterdam to the British in 1664, when King Charles II "gave" to his brother, the Duke of York, a grant that included the highly | desirable New Netherland hold- ORIGIN OF NAMES Hel] Gate was named by Captain Block of the Tiger (1613). He sailed up the: East River on a tour of investigation and charted the rushing waters as "Hellegat," which, as one historian implies, | may have been suggested by '"'Hori-gat," or 'channel of the whirlpool." He explored the bays along the Sound, circumnavigated Long Island, named Block Island after himself and designated all territories lying between the Con- necticut and Delaware rivers as New Netherland, From a patroon grant made to Adriaan van der Donck, "Jonk- heer's Landt," became Yonkers, and Maiden Lane derives its name from the fact that Dutch maids washed linen in a pond there and used a nearby spot as a bleaching ground The first Staten Island ferry was operated by Cornelis Vanderbilt, whose first $1,000 was the nucleus of one of America's great fortunes. The mouth of the Hudson River is at the Battery, where it is 3,670 feet wide. ! A fleet of four warships under Colonel Richard Nicholls, first de- puty governor of the Duke's ter- ritorries, forced formal surrender on September 8 of that year, and the place was immediately named New York. The city was recaptured by the Dutch in 1673, and its name again changed to New Orange, but be- cause of a peace treaty signed in Europe between The Netherlands and England, it was restored to the latter on November 10, 1674. Yet the stamp of the Dutch hereabout is irradicable, and there are daily reminders of the fact. SETTLED OUTLYING POINTS They settled, a number of out- ying points, such as Breuckelen (Brooklyn); Vlissingen (Flush- ing); Midwout (Flatbush); Heem- stede (Hampstead); Ameersfoort (Flatlands) and Middelburg (New. ton). They started a common schoo] in 1638 and. a Latin one in 1652. They planned a city, albeit a crude one; became on friendly terms with the Indians, and laid the base for commercial opera- tions that persist to this day. They may be credited for many innovations in New York's his- tory: The properly convened as- sembly in 1653 instituted price and crop control measures; overtime was awarded to workmen in 1656 who put in extra hours at the weigh-house, and the first unem. ployment '"'home-relief"" on a local community basis was inaug- urated in 1661. A law against loan-sharks was passed in the same year. According to Louis Adamic, student of people of the former New Nether- land exerted an influence, mainly for good, upon their surroundings, Their views were instrumental in , | moderating the Puritan-Calvinist austerity of the northern English colonists and many who came into New York were appreciative of its relaxed cosmopolitan atmosphere, for many Hollanders and their neighbors believed in having a good time. They had acquired the habit of tolerance in religious mat- ters. They loved to eat well, to dance and to race their boats and carriages, to skate and to sleigh in winter -- pastimes which they introduced to America, as well as the' game of kolf (golf). The new land became familiar with the Dutch feast-time celebration of St, Nicholas; of specialities of colored Easter eggs and a species of doughnut called cruller. SIGNIFICANT SETTLER Father Knickerbocker, ary figure of New York, derives from Harmen Jansen Knicker- bocker who arrived from Holland in 1674, but the most significant settler was a peasant named Klaes legend- American ethnology, the' Confederacy during the Civil War. More versatility, Broadway was laid out over an Indian trail that ran along a chain of oak, hickory and chestnut- covered hills from the Battery to the vicinity of Canal Street, where another trail cut west to a spot where the Indians crossed the river to Hopoghan Hackingh (Hoboken). Today they'd find the Holland Tunnel a much easier means of getting between the two points. Probably. The spot where Peter Stuyves- ant erected a stockade against an expected English attack in 1653 is the present-day Wall Street. The North River, officially, starts here and ends at about Four- teenth Street, Manhattan, and Fifth Street, Hoboken, where the Holland-American Line's piers are. The early Dutch called it the north River and the Delaware the South River because these rivers flowed southern territories of New Nether- | land. TheNorth River channel is | forty feet deep and the rise and fall of the tide in the harbor aver- ages only about four feet, so that the Nieuw Amsterdam and other vessels of the company's fleet may enter and leave their piers at any ! time. The present mouth of the river is 'eighteen miles from the en- trance to the harbor which, di- vided into Lower Bay and Upper | Bay, is like a giant hourglass. The entrance to Lower Bay is a five- mile stretch of ocean northeast- ward from Sandy Hook, New Jersey to Rockaway Point, Queens. Ambrose Channel, seven miles long, 2,000 feet wide and dredged to forty feet, is the chief Sandy Hook bar and allowing Shits into and through the Lower y. The present-day contrast be- tween the scenes and circum- stances of Hudson's entry through these waters is without parallel. NATIVES DESIRE "CLOATHES" "When the Half Moon entered the Great Bay," says the mate's | journal, "'the people of the country | came aboard of us, seeming very {glad of our coming, and brought greene tobacco, and gave us of it {for knives and beads. They go in deere skins, loose, well dressed. They have yellow copper. They | desire cloathes, and are very | civil." (Ed. note: The natives are | still well-dressed, and still desire '""cloathes."') The log related that as the Half Moon sailed up- river she was occasionally ** sal- uted" with flights of arrows, and sometimes these volleys were answered with musket shots with deadly effect. The noisy custom of greeting ships in New York on maiden voyages might well stem from Hudson's account of his reception. Fortunately, however, the flights are of planes, not arrows, and the volleys of firespray, not muskets. NEW YORK TODAY In 1953, as the Port of New York Authority points out, New Yi is the shipping centre of the world. An average of ten thousand vessels a year, carrying the flags of 125 steamship companies from forty countrie§ enter the harbor and discharge and pick up cargo and passengers. The range and frequency of sailings at the New York-New Jersey port are un- equalled by any other in the United States, and the total volume of freight handled and moved over the waters of the metropolitan port area is estimated at approx- imately 150,000,000 short tons. This 'includes 35,000,000 tons of foreign trade representing almost fifty percent of the total dollar volume of the country's waterborne foreign trade. . Occasionally there are upwards of 550 oceangoing ships in port, plus 2,500 tugs, barges, lighters and carfloats, and more than 6,000 craft in coastal and intracoastal trade enter and leaves annually, There are approximately 800 sailings a month, 25 alone on the second busiest route on the North Atlantic -- Hudson's route -- the Rotterdam-Antwerp range. New York is the centre of a vast organization of men and equip- ment maintaining a continuous flow of freight and passengers other lines of transport, and it offers the greatest concentration in the world of agencies and ex- perts whose business is to serve the shipper expeditiously. Here are the homes of more than eight percent of the country's total population.

Gets Cool TORONTO (CP)--A proposal for Sunday hunting in Ontario got a cool reception here from the fish and game committee of the pro- The suggestion was advanced by the Ontario Federation of Anglers afld Hunters, represented by Presi- dent Dave Wilson of Toronto. It was opposed by the Lord's Day Alliance of Canada, an interde- nominational organization which seeks strict observance of Sunday as 'a day of worship. Speaking for the alliance, A. S. McGrath of Toronto said Sunday shooting would be opposed by farmers, would hamper conserva- tion and interfere with other per- sons' enjoyment of the day. "Shooting on this day would run the risk of grave danger to family parties who are seeking quiet and innocent recreation in the woods and meadows," he said. Mr. Wilson said the purpose of Sunday hunting is not to permit unrestricted shooting in populated areas, but to permit men in iso- lated regions to hunt on Sunday as part of their livelihood. "It would make legal what they're doing now," he said. 'And if you wanted to stop them, you'd need 1,000 wardens for every one we've got." Bruce Sutton, president of the Kent county Sportsmen's Associa- tion, said Hunters in Northern On- |tario often have no church to at- tend. He said their church is "God's wonderland" and they should be allowed to use it. Committee member J. Root (PC- Wellington North) said most people now work a 40-hour week and have sufficient spare time for hunting without encroaching on Sunday. He also rapped the idea as anti-con- servationist. "Don't you think it's silly?" asked E. P. Morningstar, Progres- sive Conservative member for Welland, Sunday Hunting Bid Reception "Well, we have thought it over carefully and consider it a good thing," Mr. Wilson said. Mr. McGrath reminded the com- mittee the same proposal had been turned down last year. He said no changes have occurred in con- ditions to warrant a change in at- titude. A. R. Cryderman, speaking for the Ontario Trappers Asociation, said the bounty should be raised on wolves as added incentive to trappers. He said each adult wolf kills at least 15 deer annually, causing a rapid decline in the deer popu- lation. "No matter what the bounty is, it could never be high enough," Mr, Cryderman said. 'But we'd like it boosted from $25 to $75." His plea was supported by Len Hughes of North Bay, president of the Northern Ontario Outfitters' Association, He said Mr. Cryder- man's estimate of 15 deer killed a year by one wolf was conser- vative, Dr. Arthur James of Toronto said applicants for hunting licences should be examined on their knowledge of firearms and refused a licence if an examiner was con- vinced of the applicant's ignorance to the extent of constituting a men- ace. Harry Markham of Newmarket appearing for the Hunting and Field Archers of Ontario, asked for a deer season for archers two weeks before the regular season opens. He said archers at present are not allowed to hunt at all, and in any case would be endangered by gun hunters if they ventured into the woods during the regular sea- son. IMr. Markham said archers don't wear bright colors as a protective measure and could easily be shot by mistake. Howe Backs Plan For Gas In Ontario New Game Hinges On History FONTAINEBLEAU (CO)--A new game among Allied forces stat- ioned at this French base involves a spot of history. On off-duty week-engds, an inter- national group may go to nearby Paris, seek out the haunts of his- tory's famous names and try to "plant foot" as nearly as possible in the place the celebrity may have trod. Cpl. Sidney Harris of Cloverdale, B.C., and Lac. Gilles Lusignan of Hull, Que., recently formed part of a party searching for spots made famous or infamous by Napoleon, Cardinal Richilieu, Talleyrand Toulouse Lautrec and Lafayette. Near the Eiffel tower a French- man indicated a place where Hitler is supposed to have posed for a propaganda picture. : Harris and Lusignan wiped their feet on the spot. Rejuvenation Of Pastures OTTAWA--Results from studies conducted on Illustration Stations at widely scattered points in Eas- tern Canada reveal that substan- tial increases in the yield of pas- ture can be obtained through the judicious use of management practices such as fertilizing, lim- ing, re-seeding, and cultivating. R. R. Cairns of the Illustration Stations Division, Central Experi- mental Farm, reports that on five DNlustration Stations in the Len- noxville, Que., district, where La- dino clover is particularly adapt- ed, fertilized Ladino-timothy grown in a four-year rotation of oats, pasture, pasture, and pasture has been compared to fertilized and un- fertilized old sod pastures. The two-year average production of 1st year rotational pasture has been 16.49 tons of green herbage per acre compared to 8.47 tons on the fertilized old sod and 5.27 tons Malenkov Spurs Soviet Economy By WILLIAM L. RYAN PARIS (AP)--The sharp stream- lining of the Soviet government und®r its new dictator, Georgi M. Malenkov, suggests determination on his part to push at all costs the building of the Soviet economy to the point where it will rival that of the United States and make him ready for any emergency--includ- ing war. i lenkov likely was busy on such a project long before Stalin died. Now, with a free hand as boss, he obviously. intends to quicken the i pace and let nothing stand ir his | way. : The new Mr. Red has combined | the many ministries of the vast bureaucracy which is the Soviet | government, slimming down its | bulging sides and centralizing au- | thority. The picture of Malenkov's revolution--and a revolution it is-- | becomes one of sharp centraliza- tion of authority in the hands of those he thinks he on trust most. | Young and vigorbus men are taking over, pyshing the older ones into the background. This is in| line with the Malenkov idea. He, | himself, has only just passed the | 50-year mark and his reservoir of strength is in the class of Com- | munists who grew up after the Bolshevik revolution, sealed off! from the rest of the world and wholly indoctrinated in the Stalin- | ist dogma. First,Malenkov moved cautiously to consolidate his position with the Soviet army, which would rep- resent the greatest potential dan-| ger, and at the same time He | greatest support, to his regime. He installed 2a Communist who is no soldier at all but a financial wiz- ard with a marshal's baton--N. A. Bulganin--as his minister of war. | Under Bulganin he brought in| two deputies who not only are war | heroes, but who are perhaps the | best soldiers the Soviet Union has | --Georgi Zhukov and A. V, Vassil avsky. Malenkov has taken his most important ministries--those . con- cerned with electric power, build. ing and others connected wi heavy industry--and placed at the. heads men who know their jobs. The number of ministries has been cut down considerably by the mere gers in what looks to be an effort to end the confusion in the Soviet bureaucracy. Malenkiv proved himself a strong and capable business organizer during and after the Second World War when he accomplished monu- ental jobs of reconstruction and rehabilitation in the wake of the Nazi destruction. He established himself as a man who would let nothing or nobody stand in the way of his successes. He is about to apply that prin- ciple to the Soviet economy once again. Malenkov's government is more centralized and more autocratic even than Stalin's. Announcements demanding the "greatest solidarity of leadership" and warning of the 'impossibility of any disorder or panic whatso- ever" bespeak his intention to be ruthless in his suppression of any- thing which smacks of opposition. In the foreign field he will give the West no rest. Malenkov does not want a big fight and will avoid it, but he will not relax the war of attrition. This is singularly underscored in his appointment of V. Kuznetzov to the rank of deputy foreign min ister. Kuznetzov is a trade union expert. It is he who has been boss- ing the World Federation of Trade Unions, the Communist-owned and operated grouping which supplies the Soviet Union with agents abroad and directs the infiltration and distortion of labor movements through the world. { France and Spain Map Joint Project In Morocco through the extreme northern and | OTTAWA (CP)--Trade Minister | Howe said here the federal or | ernment's policy on use of the country's huge resources of natural | gas and oil is not only one of Can- ada first but '"'Canada always." Mr. Howe said in the Commons that the government believes that | the only continuous supply of Al- berta natural gas for Ontario and Quebec will be through an all-Cana- dian pipeline. He hoped one could be constructed soon. Consistent with that policy, the { government will not issue any per- | mits for export of Canadian gas | to the United States before Can- ada's needs are met. 'Anything the government may do will be dictated by what the government believes is in the best long-range interest of Canada," he said. Mr. Howe made the statement as he discussed a private bill to in- corporate Mid-Continent Pipelines, Ltd. The company plans a gas pipeline from Alberta to Winnipeg and then to Eastern Canada. However, Progressive Conserva- tive and CCF spokesmen opposing the measure have suggested that the company plans to pipe gas into the United States. Mr. Howe's statement left follow- ing speakers at a loss as to whe- ther they should continue opposi- tion to the bill. J. M. Macdonnell (PC--Toronto Greenwood) said he welcomes the minister's statement but said it is not clear Mid-Continent application. He ad- journed debate on the bill. Mr. Howe said Canada's policy is to move natural gas and oil from the area of production to re- fineries in the most economical manner and to arrange for mar- kets for any surplus which Can- ada cannot use. One pipeline company had ar- ranged to deliver oil at Sarnia |through a pipeline going south from Canada to Superior, Wis., and then through U.S. territory around the southern end of Lake Superior. This was consistent with Canadian policy. Mr. Howe said an all-Canadian pipeline around the north shore of | Lake Superior would have added $67,000,000 to the cost.

A Hungarian government broad- cast reported that half of the 7,000,- 000 acres normally planted for spring harvests had not even been plowed last fall, and only a quarter had been seeded. Approximately 38 per cent of Hungarian land is collectivized. The Communists are continually reporting the punishment of small, independent farmers for such triv- ial things as having a dirty chim- ney or having hay lying in the farmyard. Refugee economists from East- ern Europe say reasons behind the Communist farm failure include over - hasty collectivization, with consequent disorganization of pro- duction and over-confidence in the ability of government bureaucracy to make iron-clad plans for agri- cultural operations.

The areas which were surface worked with either a spring tooth or disc harrow, limed, fertilized and re - seeded yielded 4700 1b. per acre.
