Will Protest Further American Demands For

On Tubers

OTTAWA. Oct. 21 — (CP) - Canada will protest any United States demands that the Federal Government reintroduce an ex- Pont ban on shipments of Cana- dian potatoes into the American giarket, informed sources said to-

ay. '

The U. S. agreed to let Canada lift the ban a few months ago, but preliminary approaches on fehlacing the ‘barrier have been made by the U. S. Government, th sources said.

l and when a firm demand is made,.Canada will protest on two grounds: ‘

1. The.U.S. has a smaller crop than last {ear when Canada agreed to cut of exports to the U. S. as a means of easing the American potato situation.

2. American growers are in a better position to compete with Canadian potatoes since the U. S. support price has come down about 30 per cent from last year.

Under treaty arrangements, Can- ada can ship 1.000.000 bushels of tabla potatoes and 2,500,000 bushels of seed to the U. S. under s re- duced tarlff of 87 1-1 cents a hun- dredweight.

Shipments beyond that bear a duty of about 70 cents a bushel. So far this season Canada has completed the table-potato quota and is ln'the process of complet- ing the seed quota.

Last year before Canada agreed to cut off shipments to the U. S. about 7.000.000 bushels found their way into the American mar- ket against the protest of Maine potato growers. unable to com- pete with Canadian prices.

This year. it is expected, that if no trouble is encountered. Can- ada will ship about 5,000,000 bushels. .

Low-Rental

Now Being

A building project involving con- struction nf fifteen low rental tourist cabins this fall is under Wily Bt Cavendish, it was learned yesterday from Mr. James Atkin- son, Superintendent of the Na- tional Park area.

The cabins are being built on

the Kensington Road at the end of the Green Gables golf course and will overlook the Lake of the Shining Waters, Each cabin will contain an outside porch. bath- room, kitchen. and a large com- blned living-room and sleeping quarters. All will be equipped with stoves. running water and show- ers. Each will be 19x19 feet in dimension. r About n. dozen local men are em- ployed on the project under the supervision of Superintendent At- kinson. More cabins will be built next year if required. In that case. a unit comprising thirty cabins will be completed.

The cabins, which are Govern- ment owned will be leased on a concession basis. The concession- aires will be required to operate and take care of them.

Several other projects in the Park have been completed or are underway. The road between Dal- vay and Covehead, four and one- hrilf miles in length. has been re- constructed and a large bathing house has been built at Sizinhope.

Six kitchen shelters, four in Dalvay and two in Cavendish have been built. These have been con- structed along ihe shore and are equipped with cook stoves and tables. Water can be obtained from nearby wells.

Three shelters have been built on fhe Stanhope camping ground. A tennis court has been built at Cavendish and work on another at Brackley is nearing completion.

Says Growers Will Seek Support Price

EREDERICTON. N. B., Oct. 21-

(CP)—H. H J-Intfleld, M.P., for Hartland, one of the leading po- tato men in Canada, stated here yesterday that the potato growers in Canada were going after a support price. Mr, Hatfield stated that this Move was being made for two reasons, First, that the 1,000,000 bushels quota on the ex- portation of potatoes to United States under which potatoes could be exported at 2.37 and one half cents si bushel duty had reached the quota mark on Monday and that a bumper crop this season would likely give Canada the largest crop ever produced. The million bushel quota mark Mr. Hatfield stated had reached its peak suddenly.- Not expected to be reached until the last of the month the United States Govern- ment notified the shippers on Monday that they had their quota. Mr. Hatfield said that in transit at the time were likely some thousands bushels on which the shippers would lose money. He also stated that on high seas were cargoes of potatoes designated for Norfolk, Virginia and he did not know whether they had been en- tered in the quota or not. Mr. Hatfield also took exception to the recent estimate of the po- tato crop prdductlon releris- ed by the Canndian Bureau of Statistics in which the acre production released for New Brunswick was set at 253 biish- els. two bushels For ncre less than the 255 bushels production last year.

Nfld. Premier Says Freight liales Too High

ST. JOHN'S, Nfld.. Oct. 21—-(CP) —Premler Smallwood reiterated in the Provincial Legislature today that Newfoundland is paying high- er freight rates than those agreed upon in the Confederation terms.

The Premier stuck to his prev-

ious contention, made Monday in the House, that the rates being charged were higher than those charged in the three Maritime Provinces and were not justified under the terms of union. . Mr. Smallwood said it has been computed on a basis of the amount of freight which came in- to Newfoundland lust year from Canada that there is a differential of approximately $12 per ton charged to Newfoundland receivers compared to Maritime receivers. He added:

“This amount alone would ac- count for a $3,000,000 overcharge to Newfoundland."

(This was based on the assump- tion that 260,482 ions of general merchandise came inici Newfound- land annually from Canada. Last year this amount of freight came from Canada and the United States combined and it now is as- sumed that ihe U. S. Portion has been transferred to Canada since confederation March 31.)

On the matter of rail traffic moving within the Province, Mr. Smallwood said that a higher ratio of rates was being charged than for smaller movements with- in the Maritime Provinces.

"For instance." he said, "pulp- wood movements are being charg- ed an overriding 10 per cent more in Newfoundland than for similar movements in the Maritime Prov- incea. Ore concentrates from Buch- ans and Mlllertown Junction are similarly out of line,"

He added: ‘

“It is not a question of the ap- pllcatlon of the Maritime Freight Rates Act with which we are con- cerned. It is a question of obtain- ing the same treatment as our Maritime neighbors.

“It is not the contention that Canadian National Railways is charging the Province millions of dollars in excess freight rates, but it follows from the fact that the railways have imposed a freight rate structure higher than that in the Mciritlmes.

"Receivers in this Province are paying to all types of carriers, in- eluding water transport, a ratio of rates much in excess of those that they should have to pay if the terms of union were properly i_m- - lamented."

(The terms of union provided that Newfoundland was to be treated as part of the Maritimes for frelght-rate-maklng purposes. The new Province was also to get the benefit-as much as possible— of the Maritime Freight Rates Act. Under this act the Dominion Government subsldizes ZO-per-cent reductions in tolls on some freight hauls within the Marltimes.)

Bill nniiiiiif Crime Comics Gains Support

OTTAWA. Oct. 21—(CP)-— The Government agreed tonight in the Commons to support an opposition member's bill making the publica- tion. distribution and sale of crime comics an offence under the criminal code.

Justice Minister Garson indicat- ed that the Government later might be prepared to tighten code provisions dealing with the sale. publication and distribution of obscene literature.

Mr. Carson said the Government would support second reading- adoption in principle-—of a bill sponsored by E. D. Fulton (PC- Kamloops) that would bring crime comics under provisions of the Criminal Code.

Not Far Enough

However. he did not think the bill went fur enough to deal with the crime comics and pornogra- phic literature that was cluttering newsstands and magazine counters across the country.

He suggested the bill remain be- fore the committee of the whole House until Provincial attorneys- generul, crown prosecutors and others could suggest what changes should be made in the code to deal with comics and obscene lit- erature.

The suggestion was accepted by Mr. Fulton on the understanding that the bill will be reported from the committee before pro- rogation of the current session.

Mr. Garson said the Crlmlflfll Code, under section 207, already bars the publication. distribution and sale of obscene literature. However, most Frill/VICE! ‘Wild the language of the section did not deter the distribution of ob- scene books.

In Nova Scotin there has been no prosecutions under the section ln 10 years. In Prince Edward. Is- land there were no prosecutions since 1942 and in New Brunswick there was no record of any W05- ecutlons in the last five ytwri

In Ontario ihcrc were some prosecutions, but they had failed. In Manitoba there were eight prosecutions since 1946 and in Al- berta there swore 10 in five YEME- In British Columbia there was one conviction in flvo years and that was for an obscure motion picture.

However, Quebec, making use 0f the same section had launched 100 prosecutions in five yenrs. He dill not know how many were suc- cessful, but he felt they must have been numerous.
