May mean layoffs Saskatchewan grain elevators plugged REGINA Grain elevators at Pelly, Saskatchewan, have a capacity of 500,000 bushels. Last week they had space for just 15,000 bushels. This means Pelly’s elevators would be absolutely plugged in a half-day’s harvesting. : This is the typical situation at of the province’s licensed coun- try elevators is 163,700,000 bush- els. With 115,500,000 bushels of grain in them there is but space left for 48,200,0000 bushels. This year Saskatchewan will harvest about 365 million bushels of wheat. In addition millions of bushels of oats, barley, rye and flax will be harvested. The Regina Leader Post on Au- gust 28, said: “With terminals at the major grain shipping ports plugged now and exports at a low level, there appears little hope of clearing sufficient space to handle the new crop.

Of these 800 are plugged and there is a maximum of a few thousand bushels of space available in each of the remaining 352.” It is estimated by the Leader Post that right now there are 130 million bushels of grain stored on Saskatchewan farms. Farmers are pondering over the news that Canadian wheat sales un- der the International Wheat Agree- ment at August 21 were 73 percent below last year’s sales. Canada, to then, had sold 10,740,000 bushels compared to 40,600,000 bushels at the same time in 1952. Labor and farm spokesmen here emphasize that, unless Canada adopts new trade policies quickly, this serious wheat crisis will mean more layoffs of grain elevator workers, railroaders and seamen. Also, there will be mounting prob- lems for storekeepers and business men across the prairies, and seri- ous effects for Canadian economy all along the line.

Thousands of signatures have already been collected in many districts for this proposal. Several national trade unions and local Labor party branches have already called for negotiations and for an easing of the tension. “In India, by means of a signa- ture campaign, the Peace Council is‘ asking the people to call upon Great Powers with a view to a negotiated settlement. of interna- tional problems and to frustrate the attempts of those who want to prevent understanding. “In France,. representatives of many organizations met together with the delegates of the Peace Movement in a national confer- ence. A campaign has been launch- ed, with the active participation of very many personalities and local communities to demand that the government take the initiative in favor of a meeting of the Great Powers, to open negotiations to put an end to'the war in Viet Nam, to realize the peaceful solution of the German problem and to reject the Bonn and Paris agreements. “This campaign is being carried out. in different ways; by ‘Peace Notebooks’ which contain the feel- ings for peace of the town dwell- ers and villagers: the signature campaign has ajready enabled hun- dreds of thousands of signatures to be .collected for the ending of the war in Indo-China; approaches to deputies have led hundreds of .

To this end, a National Peace Assembly was recently held - an intense campaign of meet- ings is taking place in the towns, villages and factories, and deputa- tions are being sent to MP’s and municipal councillors demanding that they speak out and act for peace.” The statement outlined many forms of peace action in Canada, the USA, Holland, Colombia, Jap- an, Belgium, Brazil, South Africa, Germany, Iran, Lebanon, Switzer- land, Argentina, Algeria and other countries, including the Soviet Un- ion. and People’s China. The statement concludes: “And so the world campaign is developing amid expressions and activities for negotiations embrac- ing sections much broader than the peace movement. Therefore, there is every possibility for the campaign to spread to new fields. In giving every man and woman the opportunity to act effectively through organized action, the world campaign for negotiations will en- gender a force which can achieve new victories in the peaceful solu- tion of the international problems.” TED HARRIS Painters’ and Paperhangers'’ Supplies Sunworthy Wallpaper reg. 45c — Now 19¢ a roll 757 E.
