PART OF CANADA IN WORLD PEACE This is Brought Up in Discussions Following Big Five Conference in London LONDO.V, Oct. 4 -Secretary of States James Byrnes and Foreign Commmissar V.

Rationing Argument Labor-Progressive Leader Differs With Pi ices Board Chairman Board Behind Gordon OTTAWA, Qct. 4 0) The argument over meat rationing continues in Canada. The National Organizer' J9f the Labor Progressive Partyi-iSam Carr has chellenged a statement of Prices Board Chairman Donald Gordon. Mr, Gordon stated that nutrlUonal experts believe striking coal miners are getting enough meat In their meals, al though the miners claim they are not. On the other hand, Mr. Carr supports the miners' elalms charging that the Prices Board statements as he puts it "standulous, ' 'ftfolish-itrhi-1rre-ponsible." The L.P.P. organizer declares that the meat ration lng system is unfair in that al lowances are not large enough for miners doing manual work. The Prices Board is standing right behind Chairman Donald Gordon. The Board, In a statement issued last night, said that the miners have no case. The statement said that the Canadian Advice Committee on nutrition has reported after a carer ful survey that it is not necessary to apply differential meat rationing on the basis of occupation, from the viewpoint of nutrition. In addition, the Board said that granting the miners extra rations would bring down demand from other industries for the same thing.

The meeting will dis cuss the way rationing Is carried out, and will leave the question of whether rationing should be maintained strictly off the agenda.
