He ivarued dairy breeders against cmss breeding and said that this practice must be dlscourﬂlﬂl l8 1i- mlgiit react against the breeders iii the province.

"We must strive for better qual- lty cattle. A deep, well fleshed, early maturing type of beef cattle; swinging a good average of milk, is ivhai is needed here," the speaker said.

in reference lo lower freight rates on grain coming into the Mai-itlmes, Mr. Bailey said that the national beef cattle men had rc- commciidcd that smlal consider- atlOH be given this roblcm. The iiced was emphasize by Mr. W. R. Shaw. in order to give Mari- time farmers a chance to compete with other countries outside of Canada in the production of bee! cattle.

Mr. Bailey spoke in favor of the quota agreement, with the United states whereby many beef cattle am allowed to be exported to the country annually.

There are 50.000 head of bee! cattle imported to the Marltlmes each year, the speaker continued. and Maritime farmers inust en- deavour to capture that maikel: by introducing better quality cattle.

i\'fr., Graham smke on ilic com- parative qualify of Maritime cattle. He pointed out that at one time a flourishing beef cattle business ex- isted in the Miiritimcs but ever since u. tariff was placed on the industry, ll; has been very in-egu. far.

Change In Market

H: cited the alternate change from the United Statcs to the (ii-cat Britain market encountered during the past number of years. Canadian catilc are going into the U. S., riiarkct under protest from tho organized hrcedrrs tn that country. The United Kingdom can- not buy Canadian cattle due to a preferred contract with Argentina. the speaker said.

Mi", Graham explained the sys- tem of grading beef which is in operation iii other countries where grades are branded for the bene- fit of the consumer.

Mr. Baird warned against mix- ing breeds 1n cattle lILS it was a constant source of trouble. l-le did not agree with farmers who con- tend that beef and dairy biceds can be crossed successfully".

Must. Advertise Beef

The speaker declared that beef products must be extensively ad- vertised iii order to produce the prop-cl" results.

He stressed the need o! farm- ers growing their ovm feeds on their own fields to pioducc first class quality bccl.

ilaily War 8 rue

(By The Cainadlan Press)

Signs of n. stiffening of the Al- lied nations‘ attitude towazds Rus- sia multiply. Ships of the British and French Navies are reported actively watching Russia's two sea outiets in the west, Murmansk in the north and the Dardanelles in the south.

While the Admiralty refused to confirm reports that the navy wos blockading Murmansk it did not deny the icport. And near Dardeneiles several frciglitcrs out- word bound from Russian ports were stopped and searched.

In part this activity, no doubt. springs from sympathy foi" Finland in its flight against Soviet aggres- sion but it also is directed tovrnrds detecting and preventing, if pos- sible. any more direct collaboration between Germany and Russia. The north Russian port of Mur- mansk served as a refuge for the German liner Bremen early iii tho war and Russian submarines arc believed to be based there. Tin- paestbllity that these submaiines might siin out. to serve with the German flcei. or that German sub- marines mlgiit use the h0l'll1 Rus- sian base for refueling and refitt- ing is not being overlooked. Coming oii the heels of the Aiimark incident and in the midst of the Finnish struggle, the Al- lied Naval activity reported in the Arctic ares naturally is disturbing to Norway and Sweden. Both Stat- es have out up with the sinking of their ships and other indignities from Germany in the hope that they can keen out of afar. They have confined their assistance to Finland to strict non-military mea- sures.

Despite all this the noose of mu- draws more closely about. them. If the Allies blockade Murmansk and thus stop German traffic in and out of that port. the next. step may be the stoppage of traffic through Norwegian terri-
