Scnference 0n Potato Prices

Satisfaction with the result of the delegation to Ottawa of rep- resentatives of the five potato producing Provinces in connection with Price stabilization and market- ins v the 1045 potato crop was voiced last night by Mr. J. W Bouiter, manager of the P. E. I. Potato Growers Association. Mr. Boulter accompanied Hon.

Works, and acted as chief spokes- man ic-r the Island on the delega- tion. All three returned home last evening. '

“I feel very much encouraged with the prospects for handling this year's cre as a result of the conference," . Bouiter said. “It was felt that with the quantity of the crop already on the market, and the possibility of very large export shipments to South Am- erica, South Africa. and other countries. the elimination of im- ports from the United states would bring the potato volume to very little if any. over that of last ymr. The programme discussed with the Agricultural Prices Support Board and Federal Government economists included ians for ex- Porting "to the llfnt". also pro- cessing of starch. glucose and stock feeds, regulation of market- ing with regard to grades adver- tising, and the possibiiily of e guaranteed minimum price for any surplus potatoes remaining over in the spring,

“As _a result of the conference there rs no reason why farmers should get panicky and sacrifice their potatoes at this date," Mr. Boulter said, "There is every m- dication that Canada will not have more potatoes than she 1e u "

U. S. State Secretary Byrnee

PARIS, Oct. 3—(AP)—-Stat'e Sec- retary James V. Byrnes cf the Un- ited States, said today that "the conflict of viewpoints among the Allies" is serious, but he echoed a recent statement by Prime Min- ister Stalin that there is no rm- mediate danger of war.

Mr, Byrnes spoke at o. luncheon 9f the American, Club. k1 Paris. _ 1 “After every" great war which‘ has been won by the combined efforts of many nations, there has been a conflict among the Allies

the making of peace." Mr. Bymes said in his prepared ad- dress. “It wc-uid be folly to deny the seriousness of the conflict in viewpoints among the Allies after this war. _

"To ignore that conflict or mini- mize its seriousness will not solve the conflict nor help us along the road to peace.

"To exaggerate that conflict and its seriousness. on the other hand, only makes more difficult the re- solution of the conflict.

"I concur most heartily in ‘the view recently expressed by Gen- eralisalmo Stalin that there is no immediate danger of war. I hope that his statement will put An end to the unwarranted charges that any nation or group of nations is seeking to encircle the Soviet Un- ion, or that the responsible lead-

ers of the Soviet Union so be- lieve." The State Secretary declared

his belief that nobody wants war today, but he said decrying it is not enough.

“The difficulty is that while no nation wants w-Jr, nations may pursue policies or courses of act- ion which lead to war. Nations may seek political srid economic advantages which they cannot ob-

tain without war." Mr, Byrnes de- clered.
