Tuna 4 'I'-ITIJTITSD-A-YI.-Ff-Elly. 1. not Tarili Revision The Federal Government has

announced an early meeting with United States tariff officials in Washington in an effort to iron out I certain problems arising from the customs duties agreement between the two countries. Their ”anuouni-ed Intention," it is reported. is to ter- minate the arrangement whereby American potatoes are permitted to I enter this country duty free for most of the year. This has been the sub- ject of numerous representations by Canadian dealers and producers for several years past; and it is to be I hoped that the Government will be p adamant in the resolution to rcnmve . this clear case of discriniinatiun I against the country's potato L'I'0W- I ing industry. There has never been my valid excuse for it. While they are in Wasliington. I f'anadian officials should inquire also Into the feasibility of doing away with the Amercan practice of dump- ing apples. onions. peaches and other fruits and vegetables on the (ana- diaii market at what the ('anadian Horticultural Councils calls "distres- sed prices" which. obviously. work against Canadian growers of these products. It may not be possible or even desirable that these products should be banned from the Canadian market: but at least the present tariff which according to the ('ouncil Is ridiculously low could be raised in such I way as to give our own producers in reasonably competitive status. American producers are pro- tected and have been for forty years by an anti-dumping law which. in- cidentally, is now being revised so as to close any loopholes which may have developed. There is no reason why Canadian producers should not be entitled to similar protection.

Serious Potato Problem

Some time ago attention was called by the Potato Marketing Board to the fact that Island potato Ihipments were being turned down at Toronto. inspectors of the Ontario Department of Agriculture are ap- parently making I very close in- Ipaction this year. with respect both to size and quality. Dozens of car- lots have been placed under deten- tion. and more recent reports indi- cate that this trouble is still being Ixperienced. This is I matter of prime concern to both our growers Ind shippers. if we are to hold the favored position we have heretofore enjoyed in the Ontario market.

There are some eight thousand potato growers in Prince Edward Island. and it is safe to say that over Ieventy percent of them are doing I conscientious job in packing their product. There is a smaller percent- age who are careless. and some uh-i are evidently quite indifferent to

. anything but immediate profit. The pack this minority is putting up is seriously endangering our whole potato industry.

We have been enjoying a big premium on our potatoes during the last few years. but we must remem- ber that the situation may change very quickly if we do not maintain the high standard for which we are noted. Consument are more consci- ous of quality today than ever be- fore. Competition from other areas Is getting stronger. New Brunswick is: concentrating on quality Idaho potatoes and even in Ontario they

operation on the part of all our potato producers is evident.

Yemen, Trouble Spot

Strange how the international stresses and strains of our times have thrust into prominence places which in the past were mere spots on I world atlas, unnoticed and al- most uukouu. Take Yemen, for ex- ample, that isolated little corner of the Arabian Peninsula on the bord- ers of British-protected Aden. Who ever heard of it, much less looked upon it as a potential trouble spot. no more than two or three years ago? Probably not one in I thou- sand. Yet, today it is in the head- lines of the ivorld'.s press and the subject of heated debate in inter- national councils. it could even be- come the starting point of world war.

l.ct't in tlieniselxes, Yemenls gun- totiug and spear-hurling tribesmen, who make up the bulk of the popu- lation, would be well content to con- fine their favorite pastime to local feuds in the tradition of their fntlicrs. But the mischievous forces nliich are loose In the Middle East under the aegis of Soviet Russia and tlic over-aniliitioiis dictator of Egypt hate encouraged them to extend their banditry to Aden and other nearby sensitive points. Aden is the centre of British military organiza- tion in the Arabian world. Anything that tends to disturb it is of value to the troublemakers. The British forces in Aden could. if they felt like it, abolish Yemen and all its uorks overnight. But, for good or ill. this is not now accepted as a good policy. whatever the provoca- itlon: perhaps things would be better if it iiore,

The United States. too. has an interest in Yemen-I very great in- terest. I monopoly of its oil re- sources: and we may be sure that this angle has been discussed copi- ously by President EISEIIIIOWQT and King Sand between drinks (fruit juices) at the tete-a-tete in the White House. -To complicate matters fur- ther. Saud himself is reported to he the ”go-between" in Russo-Egyptian conspiracies in Yemen. Doubtless, he would like to have Yemen's revenues under his own thumb; but he may. of course be content to forgo that privilege--for a price.

Al1.VWa.V. the drab series of in- cidcnts. intrigues and plots has givpn long neglected Yemen I place in the sun. I

EDITORIAL NOTES

AT WESTMINISTER

Anyone who has watched ques- tion time at Westminister. enjoy- ed the running light between the II Opposition benches and the Minia-

iry. realizes what a great insti- : tuition of Parliament this question 1 period is. There ministers are not I only expected to answer all mail- ! nor of questions: they are expect- p ed to answer-and do answer -

questions arising out of answer. It is cross-examination sharp and merciless.

By comparison question period in our own House of Commons is dull. insipid: so insipid and dull that to try to make it more so. to rub it of any semblance of liveli- ness In suit the Government's con- tenicnce. would be I mortal sin against Parliament.

it must be said for Mr. Speak- er Beaudoln that he is I student of Parliament; I student not only of its rules but. of its meaning and history. We have reason therefore for hoping that he will not put the Governmantf comfort-nor its concelts - shove the good of one of PlI'lIlI'1IEI1I'l most useful

Prerndenl rZtsciihimet"s new plan for the containment of com- munism in the Middle East. known popularly here as the Eisenhower doctrine. may be spelling the po- litical doom of his" secretary of state. John Foster Dulles.

I man who had in "wisdom and experience and knowledge" possessed by ”no other man in the world."

FACES HARD FACT

But. defend the secretary of slate though he -may. Eisenhower faces the hard fact that the Democrats control both Houses of Congress --the Senate and the House of Representatives-and the continued presence of Duties may endanger future legislation In the foralu policy field.

Congress has been hammering at the Middle East program. which also would involve the ex- penditure of 8200.000.000 I year in development and military Inf pro- grams. on the grounds of its vagueness and I lack of informa- tion on just what the government plans to do.

A polaible successor in the M rear-old Dulles. who recovered from I major cancer operation less than three months ago. is Christian I-Iartar. former Republi- can governor of Massachusetts. who recently was appointed under- secretary of state. it was report- ed at that time that he was being groomed to step into Dullea' shoes.

The top man of the firm. on the other hand, probably has become the big boss because of his fairly stern. Ielfdisciplinary mode of living. This same self-discipline accounts for his good health- IGNORE WARNINGS

Those of you who are not so de- manding of yourself frequently ig- nore the early warnings of dis- case because you are so absorb- ed in your work. The big boss watches himself as well as the businesss.

I'm not drawing those statistics and statements out of the air. They are based on a study by a Chicago physician of some 5000 ex- eculives who were examined by the Health Research Center of Chicago.
