ueenls County Members ort Potato industry

OVITAWA. June 13 - (Special) .. Improved storage facilities and an orderly marketing program are the principal needs of the Prince Edward Island potato industry, J. Lester Douglas, Liberal member for Queen's told the House of com- mon: here today.

Both Mr. Douglas and W. Ches- ter 5. Mcbure, Progressive Conser- vative member for Queen's, em- phasized the importance of pota- toes as a primary food and urged the Federal Ciovemmont in give close consideration to the indus- try. The two members for Queen's spoke on the estimates of the De- partment of Agriculture and Ag- riculture Minlstcr Gardiner repllcd briefly.

Lack of adequate storage and re- cently increased freight rates had added to the burden oi the Prince Edward Island potato grower, Mr. Douglas said. Application of the Federal Govcmment grant of 8100,- 000 11 year to the potato industry and institution of a better marker- lng system would provide in solu- tion to the problem, he suggested.

Claims No Surplus

Mr. Gardiner told the Commons that there is today no surplus of potatoes in Canada and that the price is 50 to 75 cents higher than it was in January. The industry was now obtaining a better price as the result of the Federal Gov- ernment. support of prices in 1949, the minister said.

M.r. Douglas told the House that price of potatoes of the 1949 crop was lower than govemment, figures indicated.

"The good driver is not. nfccssarlly the safe one," said Dr G. E. llaibbs, pro- fessor of clinical prevention medic- ine at the University of Western Ontario, London.

Gardiner Makes Announcement In House of Commons

Of!'!'AlWA, June 13-(GP)-The Government will continue price support on bacon beyond the pre- viously announced termination date of June 30.

Agricultural Minister Gardiner told the Commons today that the 32 1-2 cent per pound level on grade A Wiltshire sides will be paid until the Government is able to obtain all the 60,000,000 pounds of bacon required to fill the 1950 Anglo-Canadliin contract, So far the Government has been able to obtain only about 13,000,000.

Mr. Gardiner, replying to Clay- ton Hodgson (PC-Victoria, Ont.), said the Government had decided on continuation of the premium program only "a half-hour" before he made the announcement in the commons.

Embl isu To Continue

"That. means it will go right on Just us it is from July 1 on," Mr. Gardiner said. "All other regulat- ion: with regard to the handling of pork products will go along in the same manner as they are going now."

This would appear to indicate that the Government has no in- tentlon of lifting the embargo on the shipment of bacon into the United States, a step forecast as a possibility after June 30 by Mr, Gardiner when he announced the price support program Jan. 3 last.

Under the price support program, the Government buys bacon at 32 1-2 cents a pound and sells it to the United Kingdom at 20 cents, charging the loss of 3 1-2 cents a. pound to the Government's revol- ving s2oo,ooo,ooo price-support program.

However, domestic prices have been so buoyant during the inst few months that the Govenmcnt has been unable to buy all the bacon it needs to fill the contract at the support level

Queltlona Retail Prices

The fact that pork prices in Canada have risen brought the question fro Mr. I-lbdgson as to why bacon "took such ii. big jump just lately from 90 cents ll. pound to as high as 31.25 I. pound."

"well, I suppose it is because hogs took a jump from szs.5o to 032.00." Mr. Gardiner replied.

Outside the House, it was indic- ated that the Government had in- tended to buy the 60,fl)0.000 pounds of bacon required to fill the con- tract in the first six months of 1950. storing part of the purchase as requested by the U, K. Govern- ment. and shipping it in the lat- ter part of the year.

At the same time, it was in- tended to lift the embargo on the shipment of Canadian pork pro- ducts info the United states as a means of finding a new market for any possible surplus that may show as a result of a declining U. K. market.

Russiais Defence Budget

Exceeds That

MOSCOW, June 13 -(GP) -

Arseny G. Zverev, soviet Finance Minister, tonight told the Supreme Soviet of the US.S.R. , in the presence of Prime Minister Stalin. that he estimates Russia will spend 79,4.00.000,000 rubles for defence in 1960. The 1949 soviet budget called for military expenditures of 79,000,000.- 000 nuibles. This constituted an in- crease of almost 20 per cent over rni-litary expenditures for 1948.

(The ruble is not traded inter- nationally. but now has a value of about fcrur to the dollar after a series of revaluailons).

Stalin, along with members of the Politburo and most of the diplomatic corps in Moscow, heard Zvcrev present his 1950 budget. The allocation for defence repre- sents 18.5 per cent of the total budget. ,

Tass News Agency reported that "the deputies and guests greeted the appearance of Stalin and his closest wmrades-in-arms with prolonged stonrny applause."

Of The U.S.A.

Figured on the basis of the of- ficial rate, Zvercv's estimate ap- parently indicates that Russia plans to spend more on defence than the United states, Transcrib- ed at. the official rate the Russian figure iunounts to s19,e5o,ooo,ooo.

President Truman has asked Congress for defence appropriat- ions for the fiscal year beginning July 1 of 013,5-i.5,(X)0,000. An exact comparison of the two budgets is difficult since there are variations in what governmental operations are regarded as defence.

The surplus provided for this year amounts to more than 4,000,- 000,000 rubles, compared with a surplus of 25,000.000,000 rubles in 1949.

Zverev said of the military ex- penditures that they constitute 18.5 per cent of the liaial stale appropriations compared with 32.6 per Scent. spent for defence In 1940 and 24 per cent for 1946. His announcement of the figure was greeted with applause.

Declares-tbney Problem Not Of Major Importance

OTTAWA. June 13 -(CP) - 'Iihe best way to maintain cordial relationships between Canada and the United Kingdom is for the U. K. "to take our food in the some free way during peacetime as they did during wartime," Agriculture Minister Gardiner said today.

That, he told the Commons, was what he meant last night when he told the Chamber "that we should speak to them blluntly."

"I think it is the duty of Can- ada to produce all the food for Great Britain she can, and I think it is equally the duty of Great Britain to buy all the food she can from us rather than to go elsewhere for it.

Mr. Gardiner made his state- ment in reply to a -request. by George Drew, Progrealive Con-

Mr, Drew, arising today as the Ghamiier continued its study of isgrlculture estimates, nid Mr. Gardlner'a earlier statement "may well be a statement that should be made, but the Minister has either said too much or too little."

Mr. Gardiner did not identify
