Wednesday. l

Wednesday described the condition of ailing Pope Pius XII as continu- ing to improve. But concern over his health persisted as the 77-year- old Pontiff remained secluded in, his Vatican apartment. ;

L'0sservatorc Romano,the news-' paper, said "the state of the Su- preme Pontifi. thanks to God. con- tinues to improve."

The Vatican organ denied pub- lished reports that an English spec- ialist who had treated King George Vi had been called for con- sultation on the Pope's health. The King died of a thrombosis in 1952 after he had been operated on for cancer of the lung.

The Vatican announced Jan. 26, that the Pope was suffering froml a "slight. lndispositloii." l

Ccmmunlques since then have. reported lilm improving or in sat.-l lsfactcry condition. But Wednes-fl day's comment by Llosservatorei Romano did not say the Pope had recovered entirely from the gastric disturbance and hlccuping which weakened him.

OTTAWA. Feb. 3 -tspeciali - Additional details of imports into Canada of potatoes and potato, products were received from the: Dominion Burcan of Statistics to- day by J. Angus Macliean, Con-i aervatlvo member for Queens. 5

For the first eight months ofl 1953, the following classes of pola-l toes were ifported into Cauaila:l potato chips, s2.'iB,l26; frozenl french-fried potatoes. 336.235; pota-I to frills. used chiefly for recep- tions and cocktail parties, sltl,6l6. ,

Officials of the production branch l of the Btatictics Bureau further informed Mr. processing of potatoes in these three forms is very big business in Canada itself and that during the calendar year 1052, value of this production totalled 6.000.000.

Mr. MacLean agrees with tho Bureau that the potato-processing business is of utmost. importance and feels that under present eon- dltlom of public tuts, the busi- ness should grow even greater. He sees no reason why either the United State or any other coun- try should be able to process or package potatoes of this type more advantageously than Canada and particularly the Maritime Prov- lncee.

Allies Reject Scheme is Propaganda

French Foreign Minister Bid- ault, as the day's chairman. led the Alies in rejecting the newest Kremlin scheme as a time-killing propaganda manoeuvre. .

Taking the floor for an hour's denunciation of the European De-. fence Community to which West Germany would contribute t.roops.l soviet Foreign Minister Molotov closed with this challenge:

"Should one not propose to hold a peoplesl plebiscite tihroug-hout Germany in order to determine out whose side the German peoplel stand: on line side of the Bonn and Paris treaties (the European Army and the West German peace contract) or on the side of the pence treaty? i

"'I'hen we would have it ciearl, answer to the question of who fat the true representative of the feel lags of the German people in our time"

Bidauit, a defender of the Ell-. ropean Army in previous sessions. of the Berlin conference. immrdl-l .-i-tely attacked the plebiscite in! something that would be "forced" on Germany's 08.000900 people.
