WASHINGTON, June 11 - (AP) - the Maine congressional dele- gation protuted again today against any move to lower freight

rates on Canadian potatoes com- mg across the border for ship- ment to southern parts.

Earlier this year northern rail- roads filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission a proposal to equalize rates on Canadian po- tatoes with rates enjoyed by po- tatov shippers from Aroostook County. Maine, to the Harlem Riv- er in New York State and points slightly south of the Harlem River.

Such rate schedules, unless pro- tested. automatically become ef- fective within 30 days of filing. The congressional delegation pro- tested Jan. 11 and the new rates have been held in abeyance.

A hearing of the rate schedule and protests against them will be held before an I. C. C. examiner tomorrow at Bangor, Me.

Representative Frank Fellows (Rep. Me.) whose district em- braces Arooslook County. is ex- pected to appear to represent the congressional delegation.

Today's protest. addressed to I. C. C. chairman J. Monroe John- son, was written by Senator Owen Brewster (Rep. Mc.), chairman of the Maine congressional group. who said it was endorsed by all the delegation.

It recited that Jan. 11 the dele- gation protested the rate reduction on Canadian potatoes originating in the Eastern Canadian Provinces.

"We renew this protest in con- nection with the hearing before the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion to be held in Bangor on June 12." the letter said. "and earnest- ly urge the commission not to take any action that would put the potato industry of Aroostook County in further jeopardy.

"The granting of the petition to the Canadian carriers would -be prejudicial. preferential. and dis- criminatory against the Aroostook producers and shippers."

The letter said that about 15.- 000.000 bushels of Canadian pnta- toes have entered the Maine mar- ket. "forcing the Government Ito carry out under the support price program the purchase of a like number of bushels 6! American potatoes paid for by the Depart- ment of Agriculture and charged to the taxpayers of the United States. ,

"The granting of the Canadian request for a change in the freight rate would add to the Canadian selling advantage."

Sharp Attack On Communist Aggression

By Ernest B. Vaccine

ST. LOUIS. June 11 - (AP) - Presiden-t Truman blasted at Sov- iet Russia Saturday for talking peace while "preparing for war." Ii. was his ,most devastating at- tack on Communist aggression since the outbreak of the cold war.

Speaking from an improvised stand to thousands standing in a blazing sun. he made this blunt in- diotment:

"With a cynical disregard for the hopes of mankind. the leaders of the Soviet Union have talked of democracy-but have set up dic-

taiorships. "They have proclaimed national independence - but imposed na-

tional slavery.

"They have preached peace - but devoted their energies to to- menting aggression and preparing for war."

And he condemned the Soviet Union for maintaining history's "largest peacetime army."

President Truman pinpointed his charges by 13' specific references to Russia or its rulers.

He' was cheered as he began his address and when he finish- ed. But his grim words were heard for the most part in at- tentive silence.

The major foreign policy pro- nouncement was televised and broadcast over all the major radio networks at home. The State De- partment's "Voice of America" moved it all over the world in 24 languages.

The President's speech concluded a reunion with army comrades of the First World War-members of a' field artillery battery.

He warned Americans against what he called the dangerous be- lief that the United States can abandon its aid to other free coun- tries in these critical times.

The tiupslde-down view" of ”isolationists" endangered both world peace and national secur-

itn

)”Isolationism is the road to war.

"Worse than that. isolationism is the road to defeat in war."

He reserved for the Russians. though. the stern language of a prosecuting attorney. And he condemned them for the demons- tration of Communist. youth in East Berlin late last month.

The Soviet leaders were "turn- ing the school children of Eastern Germany into the same kind. Of pitiful robots that marched mm hopeless battle for Hitler."

OTTAWA. June 1i1,1(SpeCla1) -Prince Edward Island Liberals taking part at meetings here for the past four days, told the Guard- ian tonight. that this year they have won greater recognition in the National Liberal Federation than has been the lot of the Pro- vince in former years.

This recognition is in the form of election of P. R. Mecormnc. past president of Queen's County Liberal Association to the nation- al executive. Second honor falling to Prince Edward Island Liberals here was the election of Mrs. George Inman of Montague as a vice-president of the National Federation of Liberal Women.

Reason why P. E, I. Liberals had not hitherto won a place on the national executive was that there (has never been a Province-wide Liberal association such as exists in the other provinces. This dif- ference was called to the attent- ion of Senator Gordon Fogo, presi- dent of the Federation by P. R. Boyle, president of the second district of Queen's Liberal Assoc- iation.

Women At

Liberal Party Gathering

OTTAWA. June 10-tCP)-Prime Minister St. Laurent urged the Liberal Party Saturday night to give women a greater voice in both party and public affairs.

i.'I would like to have at least one woman on our side of the House and in our caucus." said -Mr. St. Laurent in a speech pre- pared far delivery before a joint banquet meeting which included conventions here this week of the National Liberal Federation's Ad- visory Council and the National Federation of Liberal Women.

"I can do no more than appeal to provincial organizations und constituency organizations to do their utmost to give a larger place to women in their organizations. and to our women themselves to assume the place which is right- fully theirs."

'He said that "all our Liberal women ask is that they shall not be kept, in the background merely because they happen to be wo- men.”

Referring briefly to the national situation, he said:

"We have no reason to be ashamed of Canada's port in the achievement of the North Atlan- tic Alliance or of the share we are taking in creating the actual and potential strength which will make that alliance an effective as- surance of peace."
