The `suspension" announced by
Prime Minister Mackenzie King
of a limited number of articles
mainly coming under the head of
it.xuries and some services from
operations of price ceiling is the
first step towards "the eventual re-
moval of price and wage controls"
which will ultimately free Canada
'from wartime emergency regula-
tion.
Tne success of price control in
Canada and this country's escape
"from the ravages and physical
destruction of war have resulted
in our price structure being sub-
stantially lower than the price
levels of many of the countries
'with whom we trade," Mr King

a new explosive issue, asking with-
drawal of all British and Fren:h
ti oops from the' Levant.
French authorities estimated
about 5,000 French troops and 20,-

ace to the peace and security in
