(CP)-- Disarmament by itself won't end wars, says General Sir Geoffrey Bourne, one of the speakers at the conference of the Canadian Institute on Pub- lic Affairs. "A world almost completely disarmed, except for internal security forces, would still not be a safe place if there were still rivalries," General Bourne said. "It would still be possible for an aggressor to attack and defeat an enemy and 1 am afraid that would happen. And if one country concealed and maintained only a few hydrogen weapons it could blackmail and dominate the world." General Bourne, now retired, but who has commanded British forces in many parts of the world, added "An inescapable Implication of general disarmament must surely be for nations to set up OTTAWA (CP)--The people of Juba have just been given a jolt |they will not soon forget.

Both Russia and the West had admitted that this was the final solution to international secur- ity, but it meant countries would have to give up large chunks of their sovereignties to Oil Lands Struggle Predicted VICTORIA (CP)~The Times says a struggle for control of potentially-rich oil-bearing lands off the coast of British Colum- bia is shaping up between the federal .and provincial govern- ments. The newspaper says the juris dictional dispute between Ot: tawa and Victoria has been sim- mering for more than 1% years but has been brought into the open by an announcement from Shell Oil Company of Canada Ltd., of plans to explore about 11,000,000 acres of land along the west coast of Vancouver Island and up into Queen Charlotte Sound. Shell has applied to Ottawa for exploratory permits on the offshore lands J. F. Redmond sians as not interested in dis. armament at present but, de-| pending upon the West's show of strength in the Berlin situa- tion. and upon its success in catching up in areas of arma- ment where it now is behind, then Russia probably will be- come interested in perhaps a year or so. However, it was in Russia's interest to stop the nuclear arms race before many other countries got into it and, in this sense, Gen. Bourne thought, the Russians have already "missed the boat." Communist ideology must also be remembered. '"'Khrush chev frequently reassures us that he is not just a powerful leader but a true dogmatic Communist, one who treats the world government, and this was a long way from the pre- sent United Nations. Gen. Bourne sees the Rus. Canadian's View Of Peso Snatch and when they pleased. It was widely assumed that at least a chunk of the total deposits would be confiscated. This gloomy prospect drove some people-- those who stood to lose the most --to tears or near hysteria, Then Tuesday night the peo- ple's suspicions were confirmed. Premier Fidel Castro in a ra- dio-television speech announced that only 1,000 pesos could be withdrawn initially by any one person.

Plebiscite Decided By Indians | SARNIA (CP) -- Members of Sarnia indian band decided at|3 a meeting Thursday to hold their own plebiscite on the dis-| # position of $600,000 held in trust by the federal government. The meeting voted 36 to 2 in i favor of holding a plebiscite Aug. 28 in place of one said to have been promised in April by}: Hon. Ellen Fairclough, immi- gration and citizenship minister. Band members will be asked to state whether they consider there is any need for band or trust money to be spent on a village and whether they are in favor of distributing the $600,- 000. They will be asked to vote on a proposal that the band council spend not more than $10,000 to take legal action to force distribution of the money. Howard Ray, a director of Di- mensional Investments Limited, said legal action would be ta- ken to protect an equity that the firm had invested before Mrs. Fairclough ruled last April 18 that the firm's deal to buy Sarnia reserve land was can- celled.

About 40 stevedores, headed by Mr. Rideout, marched on the| union headquarters Thursday! and demanded a membership meeting. They said they were refused but were invited to an executive board meeting in- stead. The men complained their leaders had not held a meeting since the strike began.

The hitch, of course, will come in training the dolphin to signal home base when he sights something fishy--fishy meaning an enemy sub or a frogman bound on sabotage. Naval scientists are re- ported to be working on the Portsmouth area, Experiments are expected to go forward at a secret admiralty establish- ment where big testing tanks are available. Questioned about operation dolphin, an admiralty spokes- man replied: "I'm sorry, old boy, you'll have to go to security for this one."

Soldier Gets New Command BERLIN (AP)--Marshal Ivan | Konev, 62, former supreme com- mander of east European satel- lite forces and one of Moscow's top soldiers, has been appointed the new commander of Soviet troops in East Germany. The |latest move in the tense East- West struggle over divided Ber- lin came three days after Soviet Premier Khrushchev threatened to mobilize Russian reserves and move more Soviet. divisions to the Western front in Ger- many. Konev takes command of Sov- jet forces estimated at 20 divi- sions or more at a time when East German refugees are flee- ing to West Berlin at the rate of more than one a minute. The official East German News Agency ADN said in an almost casual © announcement that East German Communist leader Walter Ulbricht Thurs- day received the marshal "who has been named by the Soviet government as supreme com- mander of temporarily stationed in German Democratic republic." Konev served as a deputy de- fence minister of the Soviet Un- ion after a distinguished career in the Second World War. He was head of the tribunal that sent Lavrenti Beria--chief of the Soviet secret police--to death. | 65 65 . 65 . 60 60 London ..oovveees Kitchener .. Wingham .. Hamilton St. Catharines Toronto ....

Nelson, 21, of Toronto had at least 10 ounces of alcohol in his system and was "very def- initely intoxicated" July 15 when his car crashed head-on into another on Highway 400 that has impeded progress to- ward European unity. A letter saying "let us join" has been sent by Prime Minis- ter Macmillan to the Common Market's Brussels headquar- ters. Macmillan was given the green light by Parliament last month. The negotiations that lie ahead will be long, arduous and complex. Spokesmen for nations on both sides of the Channel say that too much is at stake to allow them to fail. Success could mean the weld- ing of the nations of Western Europe into a powerful confed- eration. And there is a like. lihood that it could give rise to some king of an Atlantic com- munity including Canada and the U.S.--an idea still consid- ered nebulous and impractical |by many. |RISK OF DIVISION Failure, on the other hand, carries with it the risk of di- Road Deaths Increased Last Year OTTAWA (CP)--There were more traffic deaths, injuries and accidents in Canada in 1960 than the previous year, the bureau of statistics reported today. Not all provinces shared in the increase. Motor vehicle accidents on streets and highways took 3,283 lives last year, an increase of 1.6 per cent. Injured totalled 90,- 186, an increase of 6.4 per cent. The accident total was 247,820 compared with 242,429 and in- cluded the same number as in 1959 involving fatalities -- 2,763. Another 61,111 were non-fatal compared with 57,202 and 183;- 955 involved only traffic dam- age, up from the 1959 total of 182,464 The number of fatal accidents and fatalities increased in New- foundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Alberta.

These outlet {I'm hopeful," Macmillan told | Parliament when he asked it to approve an application to join the Common Market. He spoke with the knowledge that progress had been made in bilateral diplomatic talks in Bonn, Paris, Rome, Brussels and The Hague. Why finally did Britain de- cide to apply for entry after fol lowing for five centuries an is- olationist policy: The economie reasons alone were compelling. Britain has been plagued by a series of recurring crisis. She lags behind her continental neighbors in competitiveness, productivity and production. The members of the six-- Germany, Italy, France and the Benelux countries--are forging a protected market roughly comparable in size to the es are a major for goods, Her competitive position would become precarious if she remained on the outside of the uniform tariff wall now being erected around the community. The difficulties facing Britain have been aired loudly and of- ten in recent weeks. Briefly, membership must not jeopar- |dize the positions of Common- wealth members or members of the British-led European Free Trade Association. | The feeling, however, is that {these problems will likely be surmounted. There is a spirit of good will on both sides.
