It will wind up his visit to Canada and the United States. Churchill ended his week-end of conferences with Canadian govern- | ‘ment leaders Monday night with a |speech which hailed the 12-nation | Atlantic alliance as the West's | surest guarantee” of peace. Speaking at a lake trout and | roast beef dinner given in his honor | by the Canadian government, he | declared: “No one can predict with cer what will happen. “All can see for themselves the strange clouds that move and gather on the horizons, sometimes |so full of menace and sometimes | fading away.” | “Peace does not sit untroubled jin her vineyard,’ he added, with |a typical Churchillian flourish. But this time, he said, in con- trast to the days of Hitler, the key Western nations already have started to mobilize their vast eco- nomic and military strength. “We are all united from the be. ginning,’ he said. “We all’ mean to stand by each other, here in Canada, in the U. S., in Britain, in Western Europe.” With the help of an all-European army bolstered by German units, he said, “‘we stand with the United States, ready under the supreme | NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Or- ganization) commander to face whatever aggression may fall upon us.”” | The Atlantic Treaty, he de- jclared, “is the surest guarantee | not only of the prevention of war, | but of victory, should our hopes be blasted.” | The 77-year-old British leader, | because of bad weather, cancelled | Plans to fly back to Washington this morning.

Haley, state representative and former | Ringling Circus president, is the first to announce for Congress from the new Seventh District. Haley, a leader of the economy ‘bloc in his two sessions (1949 and 1951) in the Florida Legislature, said his campaign would empha- sige the need for elimination of federal waste. | He also said that, if elected, he would seek to reduce rederal taxes and drive out “the crooks and ped- diers of influence who infest our government.” Haley heads a State House com- mittee appointed to investigate ir- regularities of public officials in Florida. The only other person being talked of as a possible candidate for the congressional post now is Mayor A. Sterling Hall of Braden- ‘ton. Hall himself has maintained silence, but a Manatee County group has been talking up his | qualifications. ‘The Seventh District includes Polk, Highlands, Hardee, DeSoto and Manatee Counties. It was cre- ated because of a population in- crease shown by the 1950 federal census.

Under present Mutual rules, how- ever, that is not a violation. J. J.

President Lacy Thomas of Grove- land appointed a committee to study the matter and asked it to meet Wednesday. One Mutual leader said Parrish’s Proposal could result in wrecking Mutual, by pitting co-operatives and cash buyers against each oth- | er.
