Precise survey and accurate Bmmd 'mftrkings'tti nowrtra. ed. Surveys in the north, on account of the severity of the climate in winter, are usually carried out In the summer. In this case, however, large areas of swamps and spongy mufkesrs make summer surveying difficult. It can be carried out much more satisfactorily by tractor train travelling over the frozen surfaces of the muskegs and swamps. The surveying party of the Department of Mines and Technical Surveys left Ottawa recently by train for Edmonton. F-om there, the route is by air to the south shore of Great Slave Lake in the the "wild cat" strike which was threatening' the'-securttyuf the nation by holding up shipments of essential materials and supplies for the troops. With 25 major trains connecting New York with the west cancelled and many suburban services halted, other cities had similar problems and many Industries, employing thousands of men, were idle. The federal government is pressing to end the walk-out and a federal court hearing has been called for later today to take legal action against the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and its officers who have not authorized the strike.

S. St. Laurent made an important surprise announcement in Parliament yesterday to the effect that there would be no conscription in Canada at this time. The government had been advised by its military experts, the Prime Minister told the House, that there was no present need for compulsory military service. There was nothing to Indicate that national selective service would be beneficial at present, Mr. St. Laurent declared. On the other hand. It might hamoer what was being done. The Progressive,- Conservative leader. George Drew, had beea discussing military and defence matters but made no direct request for compulsory military service. ARMS NOT MEN world situation, Mr. St. Laurent emphasizing what General Eisenhower had said, told Commons that the government believes the big need In the building up of defences of western Europe now is for arms rather than for troops although he said that condition could change. If so, the government's policy would be based on the type of Canadian contribution that could be of "atual effective value" and not on sentimental, racial or reiig-lous grounds. The Prime Minister, leading off the government's defence of its policies in the annual Throne Speech debate, told the House that he was confident North Atlantic Treaty countries" defences will be built up stronglv enough to prevent aggression but up his boat alongside.
