Terrace Hemlock Exporters May Ship To China Market Thru Pt. Edward Dock TERRACE Sawmill operatois of this district have definitt offers of business lo supply over a million board feet of hemlock per month to the Chinese market, The material will be railway tics, side lumber cut from these ties, etc. The big obstacle to the mills-taking the business has been thc lack of assembly yard facilities on the coast. The local lumber men have been working on assembly yard projects for some months but have found lumber exporters in the south have practically refused to open facilities which would make thc business available along this line. Other interests are now considering the matter and it is undeistood that preliminary negotiations are under way which will make it possible to use the Port Edward wharf or some place close at hand for an assembly yard.

Europe's Interest Many Would Move Here Immigration Office Among Notable Passengers Reaching Montreal MONTREAL ".Never has there been such Interest shown In Canada as there is now by he European people," G. O. Congdon, eomml'sloner of European immigration for panada in London, told reporters on his arrival in Montreal yesterday. In England for more than five years, Mr. Congdon Is going to Ottawa to discuss problems relating to the future policy and plans of the Canadian govern-mero with regard to Immigration. i .Thousands of people In al-'most every country In Europo want to come tp live .in Canada," Mr. Congdon said. "Canadian servicemen have been Canada's best salesmen. It hai been from them that the European people have come to know more about the Dominion, its beauty, how we live and the great opportunities there are here and. how want to make their home here." However, it would be years before Immigrants would be able ' to come to Canada, Mr. Lang-don stated. No general movement could take placjp until the transportation problem is eased and travel conditions return to normal. Before all thc Canadian servr ice- men and their dependents were brought to Canada it will be almost year-end. Then there are the thousands of Canadians in Great. Britain and those who were stranded in a great many of the other European countries during the war still waiting to return home as well as thousands of industrialists and government officials who would also bo ccmlng to Canada. "Still another problem and perhaps the greatest standing In way of Immigrants coming to Canada," he added, "is that of financial exchange No one H allowed to take moncv out of any of the European countries. ' until tne normal prewar exchange of currency returns no one will be able to go to another country unless he has a bank account or other assets already established In it,", Mr. Congdon, accompanied by Mrs. Congdon, arrived in Hali fax on Friday on the Aquitanla among more' than 100 civilians, Including empire notables, dignitaries, scientists, government officials and industrialists, and travelled to Montreal on a Canadian National Railways boat special. Many Notables Among Passengers Anion? the other passengers who arrived at Montreal were Viscountess Boursdalc, who will make a six-month visit to the United States; Ida Haendal, violinist, who will 5ivc concerts at Carnegie Hall during the next two months accompanied by her father, Nathan Haendal, an artist, descendants' of the famous composer of the same name whu was musical author of "Hansel and Gretel": N.

The broadcast. added that all Red Army forces. Nwld be out of Iran with five or six weeks if in oscow's words nothing unforseen happens. Ju!st twenty-four hours earlier the Russians had tate1l that Red Army troops would leave Manchuria by April 30. These Moscow statements came on the eve of the convening of the United Nations Security Council in New York. U.N.O. officials had been hoping for an eleventh-hour break in the dispute between Iran and Russia. At the first Security Council meeting in London, Russia succeeded in delaying prolonged discussion of the clash with Iran in order to carry on direct negotiations. UNO Objectives Are Clarified NEW YORK, The secretary-general of the UNO, Trygve Lie, has clarified the main objectives of the United Nations Organization. Lie asserts that the chief purpose of the UNO is to prevent argument among the bis powers from flaring into armed conflict. AfniaTlflff HVVU JHIIVM BY IRANIAN LONDON An Iranian official has published a book containing a strongly worded accusation against Russia. The book was written by an attache of the Iranian embassy in London. Ah Hamzavi. It concerns Iran's diplomatic relations with the Allies since 1941 when British and Russian troops occupied Iran to prevent German sabotage and espionage. The author makes this charge: "Interferences, by Soviet military and civilian authorities in northern Iran have been constant, methodical and deliberate since 1944 when Russia was refused oil concessions." The Chinese believe playin- cards were invented in the 12th century. CRISIS EASED Tehran later today confirmed the Russian announcement' thst evacuation of Soviet forces ifrygi Iran had commenced. " Commencement .of consideration of the Iranian situatf&tflh view of these latest developments, was accordingly! postponed as the U.N.O. security council session was bpened'Far day by Secretary of State James Byrnes who stated that it was desirable to settle disputes without resort to the security council but also warned that no nation had thc right to take thc law into its. own hands. .Clearing international skies brought hope that the first North American meeting of the U.N.O. security council would not have to face the crisis threatened by the Iranian situation. The belated Russian reports of fulfilment of the pact with British and Americans to move out of Iran brought hope that council discussion of thc situation might be averted or attend the opening of the coun'-; cil at 2:30 this afternoon but he was unable to do so on account of pressure of business at Washington and sent a message instead. The message was'read by Secretary of State Byrnes. There was also a state welcome by Governor Thomas E. Dewey.
