STAY
VANCOUVER,
Sept.

Donald
Gordon,
chairman
of
the
Trices
and
Trade
Board,
said
here
today
that
meat
rationing
was
here
to
stay
because
there
was
no
alternative.
It
had
become
a
moral
issue,
he
said,
and
the
government
was
to
be
congratulated
on
its
courage
in
imposing
it.
OTTAWA,
Sept.
25
ff;
Finance
Minister
Usley
has
told
the
House
of
Commons
that
Canada
would
be
a
"quitter""
nation
If
she
refused
to
share
her
burden
of
post-war'responsHbilltles.
Mr,
Ils-ley
told
the
House
that
part
of
Canada's
share
of
responsibility
was
the
delivery
of
her
committments
of
meat
to
Europe.
He
added
that
this
makes
rationing
necessary
in
Canada.
C.C.F.
leader
M,
3.
Coldwell
said
that
Finance
Minister
Ils-ley's
speech
on
rationing
indicated
that
such
rationing
Is
necessary
In
Canada.
He
said
that
his
party
will
suvnort
the
government
in
this
matter.
Social
Credit
leader
Solon
Low
said
he
believed
that
Canada
should
supply
starving
Europe
but
that
other
means
than
rationing
should
be
Investigated.
Progressiva
Conservative
leader
John
Bracken
told

that
the

had
to

the
statement

"Have

Everyone
had
the
same
idea
the

should
press
for
the
construction
of
a

at

It

I

Franco
as
War
Criminal
Through
Actions
Against
Russia
Has
Put
Himself
On
Same
Level
As
Hitler
and
Mussolini
NEW
YORK,
Sept.

(CP)
Nikolai
Novikov,
acting
Soviet
ambassador
for
the
United
States,
called
last
night
for
the
removal
of
General
Francisco
Franco
as
head
of
the
Spanish
government
and
said
he
should
be
tried
"as
a
war
criminal."
Novikov,
charge
d'affaires
of
the
Soviet
embassy
in
Washington
and
acting
ambas-
sador
in
the
absence
of
Andrei
Gromyko,
addressed
17,000
persons
at
a
Madison
Square
Garden
rally
sponsored
by
the
Spanish
Republican
government
in
exile.
Novikov
said
that
Franco,
through
his
actions
against
Russia,
had
"put
himself
on
the
same
level
with
Hitler
and
Mussolini
and,
in
the
same
measure
as
they,
is
subject
to
prosecution
as
a
war
criminal."

Hope
Vanishing

Of

LONDON,

O)
With
hope
vanishing
for
any
substantial
agreement
on
European
peace
settlements
at
Wis
session
of
the
Big
Five
foreign
ministers,
a
Russian
commentator
has
rebuked
those
who
would
blame
the
Soviet
for
divisions
in
the
minister's
council.
A
reviewer
In
Moscow's
Pravda
said
"The
pessimists
not
only
engage
in
gloomy
prophesies,
but
try
to
lay
the
blame
for
the
rise
of
difficulties
upon
the
Soviet
Uunion."
The
Big
Five
council
today
begins
its
third
week
of
deliberations
on
such
subjects
as
control
ci
European
inland
waterways,
extension
r,f
the
Austrian
government,
and
removal
of
British
and
Russian
troops
from
Iran.
This
leaves
in
the
background
the
conflicting
series
of
major
ls?ues
the
Balkan
peace
pacts,
the
Italian
colonial
oos-esslons.
and
the
f
roni
ler
dispute
between
Italy
and
Yugoslavia.
