As a. new defence measure. the Helsingifors Government announ- ced it was fortifying the strategic Aaland Isiands which command the mouth of the Gulf orf Both- nia.

(Russia posted vigorous objec- tions before the League of Na- tions last June when Sweden and Finland proposed Jointly to for- tify the islands.)

Word of the important decision to fortify the strategic islands was sent to Joseph A. C, Avenol, secretary-general of the League of Nations.

A Government spokesman said the Russian invasion had crested a. new situation in regard to the islands, which are about 30 miles wide and lie some 50 miles from the Finnish west coast and 50, miles off the eastern coast of Sweden. Under Czarist Russia. they were a part of Finland.

“The Aaland Is‘and.s are one of our most vulnerable points," said a Government spokesman, “if they should fail into the hands of an- other power it would close the Gulf of Bothnia and pmctically isolate Finland from the rest of the world."

ers. who can plan their production with some assurance of what re- turns will be, We should be grairiul for this action on the part of Bri. tain and can only hope such g d“- inite price basis may be applied to other products of the farm.

Sees Feed As Problem

The attractivness to Island fann- ers of the new agreement between the Canadian and United Kingdom 80Verrimenis, whereby the Domin- 1°11 1”» t0 511F191)’ 4.480.000 pounds of bacon and hams to Britain weekly until October 1940, would "depend entirely on feed prices", J. A. Gil- lies. secretary manager of the Prince Edward island Co-operative Livestock Marketing Board said here tonight_

If he understood the agreement the price was nine cents per pound live weight st the ses, board. For Prince Edward Island farmers that would be slightly less than the pres- ent price of $12.80 per cwt at Mont. real on dressed warm weight basis. The agreed price would amount to only about $12 per cwt. at sea/board, e believed, .

That would make the scheme on- gv barely profitable with present

eed prices, he claimed. And feed rlces were "soaring." His organi- tlon imported s. car of feed wheat rom the west lsstweek and already he price had advanced so the same

aln would cost 18 cents per cwt. are now.

As he saw it, Mr. Gillies said, the agreement did not promise much in the wav of profits. Farmers would be maintaining or increasing hog production from s patriotic stand- point and not from any profit mo- tive.

Unless, he added, some supple- mentary plan was evolved to hold feed prices constant to correspond with the hog price. Nova Scotlu f at present uou'view this lot of Birds and the ‘feelings that will tnnu you will be much too strong for words.
