Expert's Report Will

OTTAWA — CP — Federal and CNR officers
Friday decided to build a new breakwater at a cost
of about $500,000 in a further attempt to enable the
Newfoundland harbor of Fort aux Basques to handle
thc government's $11,500,000 ferry William Carson.
After a meeting among three cabinet ministers and
CNR president Donald Gordon, the railway chief said
there is a "reasonable chance'' the big ferry will start
running into Port aux Basques by mid-1956, when the
breakwater is to be completed,

**, io whether the original port
could handle lhe Carson safely
despite $280,000 worth of govern-
ment dredging and $6,000,000 in

Works Minister Winters—whose
department handled Ihe dredging

SCALE MODEL
Apart Irom the breakwater, Mr.
flwythpr recommended lhat a
*calr model of thc harbor be built
t-. «.iudy the effects of wind and
water. Mr. Winters said this will
be done by the National Research
Council, with a view to determin*
ing whether further works in addition to the breakwater are necessary.
Mr. Winters declined to make
the Gwyther report" public, but he
said it indicated the dredging had
not caused material deterioration
in the harbor, as chaiged by opposition members of Parliament.
Hc said the breakwater will extend cast about 500 or 600 feet

Calls For Ban On
World Arms Race;
Nuclear Weapons
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.-CP-Eussia's Foreign
Minister Molotov Friday called for an end to the world
armaments race. He also demanded a ban on nudear
weapons and asked the West to dismantle its xoreign
military
bases,
armaments
"The armaments race has assumed unprecedented proportions
Molotov said in a Ua-hour address
to the UN General Assembly,
"Enormous material and human
resources are being diverted for
v-ar preparations Instead of being
iK-d  for  con structlve pur*
"This stale of affairs must not
he allowed to continue. The united
Nation* must speak up emphatic*
allv against the arms race and in
favor of reducing armaments, out*
lawina atomic and hydrogen weapons and removing the danger ol
anothsr war." . „ , »•
Canada's reaction to Molotov s
»ddr«i was one of disappointment
lhat it apparently contained no
definitive statement on the ques*
linn of arms control.
NO NEW GROUND
"No new ground was broken,
commented Health Minister Paul
Martin, Canada's  chief UN  del-
Nate. "We were given assurances

agreement to provide effective
controls but no idea of thc details
of Ihosa controls. This Is essential
if there is to be a disarmament
agreement."
Martin said the speech "doesn't
close the door" to agreement on
matters at Issue, but added; "1
don't believe It answers any problems; surely we are gelling to the
state now where we can't just tail-
about the spirit of Geneva."
Molotov said the Soviet Union
"attaches considerable importance
In the setting up of controls ovcr
disarmament measures and* its
proposals provide for the granting
of wide rights and powers to tha
control bodies,'* He referred to
Russian plans for establishing control posts at railway and highway
junctions, airports and seaports.
But Martin felt Molotov should
have been more specific on just
how much latitude these inspection bodies would be given.
CAUSE OF TENSION
Molotov said the existence of
military bases on foreign territories is one of the main causes of
international tension. He claimed
that after the impending return of
Porkkala naval base to Finland
there will be no Soviet military
bases In'other states, and called
on other governments lo give up
thair foreign bases.
In concluding, Molotov introduced for the assembly's consideration a mild resolution .proposing
that the UN consider' all plans for
disarmament an'd .all other proposals intended to relax tension
and prevent a third world war.

A hurricane hunter plane pen
etraled the eye of Janet and Friday night its centre was about 390
miles south-southeast of San Juan,
Puerto Rico, This was some 1,350
miles southeast of Miami.
The storm's serpentine path carried it westward or west northwestward about 13 miles an hour. Top
winds were estimated al 115 miles
an hour over a small area near
lhc centre. Winds of gale force.
extended 125 miles north and 100
miles soulh of the eye.
Olher Islands of lhe Windward
group near Barbados were enveloped In silence despite a call
fnr information from them by thc
U.S. weather bureau. St. Vincent,
due west of Barbados,' and possibly Grenada to the south were
believed to have felt Janet's fury.
HEAVY DAMAGE
A state ot emergency was
declared on1 Barbados, a 166-square
mile British island with a population of 200,000. Communications
were knocked out, wreckage
strewed roads and the damage to
sugar cane, the island's chief crop,
was estimated in the millions in a
dispatch from Bridgetown, the
Island's chief city.
While Janet prowled the Caribbean Mexico counted Its dead at
238 with nearly 400 missing from
this week's visit by Hilda, which
struck near Tampico Monday,'
So far, Janet has followed the
path of last year's Hazel, but this
is ho prediction that she will con-
linue on Hazel's course. Hazel
killed hundreds in Haiti and went'
on ta spread destruction In thc
northeastern United States and
southern Ontario,
"Janet's winds now may exceed
UK miles an hour" said t)unn.
44We have no late estimates since
her violence has made it advisable
for reconnaissance aircraft to stay
out-of the-band of heavy winds."

OTTAWA-CP - The federal government had a budget deficit of, $18,000,000
during August, though its
surplus for the first five
months of the fiscal year
was-$114,000,000* at the end
of August.
Finance Minister Harris' monthly
statement of financial operations
showed the government took in
$342,200,000 in budgetary revenues
during August and spent $360,200,.
000,
Revenues were $19,900,000 more
than for August of last year, but
expenditures jumped by $48,200,;
000. Thc increased expenditures
were accounted for largely by the
fact that Canada charged up hcr
$26,000,000 Colombo Plan contribution for 1955*50 to August and by
, an increase of about $10,000,000 in
|*defence spending. ...

troops battled scattered outbreaks of support for deposed dictator Juan Peron.

pro-Peron demonstrators in, Hos-
ario, about 1B0 miles northwest 0f
Buenos Aires, and riots broke oiit
•in the capital's southern working
class quarters'where Peron supporters wer* thickest.
The government radio in Buenos
Aires issued an official statement
urging, crowds in the working class
suburbs.of Gerli'andAvellancda to
keep calm and warning that the
new regime would' "fight energetically"" against outbreaks.

government Friday. The new president-Was -sworn in. after, being
greeted   by   more   than   500,000
relations with the Vatican*, which
had excommunicated his predecessor, Juan Peron, and to scrap a
Peron goverli'ment contract with an
American oil company for Argentine drilling and exploitation rights,
Both questions had been key
points in the opposition attack on
Peron's .regime. Lonardi, in ' his
first speech as president, said he
would sign a concordat with thc
Vatican and would cancel thc contract.given the Standard Oil Company of California by the Peron
government.
Peron in his -heydcy ncver attracted a crowd comparable to the
one that overflowed Buenos .Aires'
'central square as Lonardi arrived
by air from Cordoba—rebel base
front which he directed the rebellion against-Peron. The Argentine
dictator's nine-year regime toppled
