To Sign New Trade
Pact With Russia
OTTAWA. CP-A ncw trade
agreement has been reached
with Russia under which Canada's hopes of major sales of
''Vheat and oth,er products
hinge on the amount this coun
try buys from Russia.
The three-year agreement,
disclosed to the Commons
Tuesday by Prime Minister
Diefenbaker and Trade Minister Churchill, would put
Canadian-Russian trade on a
two-for-one basis. Russia's
state trading agencies would
buy $2 worth of Canadian
goods for every $l of Russian
imports to this country.
Mr. Churchill, who will leave
for Moscow today to sign the
pact, told the House that the
agreement provides for Soviet
purchase of about 7,000,000
bushels of wheat annually,
worth between $10,000,000 and
the $12,000,000 depending on
the grade.
HALF  PREVIOUS TOTAL
This is less than half of the
14,600,000 bushels which Russia agreed to buy annually
under the three-year agreement that expired in February, 1939.
Moreover, it would require!
Canadian imports from Russia of $5,000,000 to $6,000,000
before Russia would be obliged to buy the 7,000,000
bushels of wheat set a:

Jacques Cartier Bridge is operated by the1 harbors board by
agreement with Quebec province

replaced toll collectors last September and revenues jumped
immediately.
Many of Tuesday's questions
by Liberal and Progressive Conservatives were attempts to pin

OTTAWA, CP—Opposition
Leader Pearson and Finance
Minister Fleming livened the
waning budget debate Tuesday with a cross-fire in which
the Liberal chieftain said the
government is in a poor position to battle the economic recession forecast by many economists.
Mr. Fleming replied that
Mr. Pearson and his followers
are wallowing in gloom, digging their own grave with despondency and damaging Canada in the eyes of other nations by distorting the facts to
serve partisan purposes.
The Liberal leader spoke on
the second to last day of the
budget debate, supporting his
party's non-confidence motion
which forecasts an over-all
budget deficit and says the
government offers no solution to unemployment rising
prices, the high premium on
the Canadian dollar and increased pressure on provinces
and municipalities to borrow
abroad.
CITES EXPERTS
Mr. Pearson cited a number of economic experts, including Dr. O- J. Firestone of
the federal trade department,
wh'o he said have forecast an
economic recession in the
coming months. Some experts,
he said, see recession toward
the end of this year or early
in 1961.
> The recessions of 1953-54
and 1957*58 came on the heels
of budget surpluses that left
the government In a better
position to combat their effects. If another recession
came this year or next, it
would follow three years of
huge deficits.
