Progressive Conser- vative lender. carried 3 stinging st- tack against Defence Minister Claxton in the Commons tonight and thrust the chamber into A late hour-vote on his party's motion for ‘appointment of a house commit- tee on defence.

The motion was relected 106 to 51 in 3 straight Government-veh sus-Opposition count which car- ried the chamber 15 minutes be- yond thc Ll o'clock closing hour. The C.C. F. andtsocial credit part- ies placed their strength behind the Progressive conservative forces.

The vote capped .a. day-long de- bate which reached intensity in the late evening when Mr. Drew, stepping into the fray, suggested the Government had things “too dangerous to hide" in the defence field and charged Mr. claxton with "meaningless evasion" and a "blat- ant attempt" to "mislead" the House.

That was his icply to earlier statements by Mr. Claxton ti-at there was no need for a. defence committee of the type sought and that the defence committee of the British Commons dealt mainly with financing and expenditures.

To Seek Extension 0f lieni Controls

OTTAWA, March 14 — (GP) _ Justice Minister Garcon today gays notice that the Government will seek extension of rent controls for another 13 months and a Govern. ment official indicated it may be the last.

The official said that if economic conditions warrant it., controls may be lifted at the end of the la- month Derlod. April so. 1951. By the same token, if the shortage then still is acute. the Government may ask for a further extension.

It all depends on the building business between now and next April.

OTTAWA, March 14-—(CP)—The Governor-General, Viscount Alex. under, took off in an R. C. A.

Flight plan across the Atlantic was via either Goose Bay, Labrador or Gander, Newfoundland and’ Iceland, The party is due" to arrive at. London airport tomorrow.

"Production of our agricultural Droducts is more than three quar- ters of our troubles, not market- ing." stated Premier J. Walter Jones as be commented upon a brief submitted by the Federation of Agriculture to the Legis- l a t u r e yesterday afternoon which referred in part “to the other half of our farming problem that of marketing. which is yet to be solved." ,

"Fifty percent of our farmers operating today are lnef icient. They do not know how or w at to produce. One thing that is wrong with production is too many pets- toes when such fruits as straw- berries and raspberries can be eas- ily grown.

"I can not see how so many farmers can get away to attend meetings." stated the Premier at the conclusion of his comments as he glanced around at an approxi- mate dozen Federation farmers present. "If you were good farm- ers you would not be here."

After listening to the brief the Premier referred to it as being

"almost as critical as the Opposi- tion." ‘He went on to relate Gov-

Fe ral grants to education were ‘strong . indorsed in the Legisla- ture last night by Hon. Dr. W. J. P, Maciliillsn, leader of the 0p- position. in spsaising in the Bud-

"Section 92 of the Biiitish North America Act designates education and health as provincial responsibl- lltics." Dr. MucMillcn said. "But how does lhe Act allow the Fed- eral Government to do so much for health and welfare if it cannot as- sist education ?”

"It may be on account of Que- bec." interjected Premier Jones.

"Quebec is not Canada yet." re- torted Dr. MacMillun. "There can be just as much done for educa- tion as for health and welfare. They are all on the same plane."

I-ie conceded that the Govern- ment hsd made some progress edu- cationally. but the standard is still much lower than in other Provin- ces, and there was no reason why the Federal Government. should not give assistance,

Farmers Admonished To Stay Home And Work By Premier Jones Yesterday

"The dairy industry is all. right now even if the price of butter should be out five cent per pound. he stated in reply to pessimistic remarks regarding the industry. The price of cattle is sky high and there is great opportunity to raise cattle for export."

The Cheapest Feed

The cheapest and easiest way to store feed is by the growing of grass silage, If more grass silage were grown the farmers would not have to buy so much feed. Take one tenth of your fertilizer. spread it on your grass and cut it three or four times a year and store it. he admonished them.

He noted that the Federation mentioned the need of an abattoir. "I do not see why refrigerator boats can not be purchased, he stated, the proper people to ap- proach is the Maritime Board of Transportation in Ottawa. If you set an abattoir here you will meet stiff competition from the big fac- tories." .

With regard to the potato prob- lem he said that the proposition of Mr. Klckham regarding levy on hflvy acreage was a question that mlizht be discussed.

“I can not see why the ware-

house problem concerns the Feder- ation. The revenue coming in from them is insufficient resulting either from some one not paying their share or not enough potatoes l!0‘lar(Ilz throngs them." .. -agar tou-the-cold-stora e fncllllllcn e stated that the Gogv- ernment had provided cold storage "I Emerxencies and are providing an addition to warehouses for but- ter and eggs. if there were any ease to be stored.

Marketing Needs Stressed In F arm Federation Briel

Would Not Welcome Cheap ll. S. Poi_ai_oes

OTTAWA, March ]4—- (CP)—A Government official today indicat- ed that Canada would not welcome ‘any United States move to ship potatoes into Canada at one cent a hundrsd pounds. :‘

He said any such move would be countered with Canadian anti- dumping laws which would pre- vent the goods ranching Canadian markets at that rats.

Herbert W. Moore, executive secretary of the Council. said Can- ads—now excluded-should be in- cluded .. ‘ ' " “‘ to not the potatoes at one cent a hundred pounds. '

The Canadian official said that in the first « lace hmdid not be- have the U. . Govt mans would do anything but throw out such a

In the second place. if: by any stretch of the linasiuatioa such a sug stion was approved. Canada mud first find out what a “fair prics" is for U. 3. potatoes and than snfoi-co snti-dumping laws to bring tbs U. I. export price to that level.

New Process May Widen Fish Mariel

OTTAWA. March 1t—(Specln.l)— James Sinclair, parliamentary ss- slstant to Fimnce Minister Ab- bott has returned to Ottsrwa from

a rnision to Europe to collect debts owed Canada and to secure renew-

al of some promissory notes for other debts.

But Mr. Sinclair. who comes from the Pacific coast riding of

Vancouver North. hopes that he has done more than collect Can- ada's bills. He believes that he has come upon an idea which may be very valuable in increasing the domestic and export market for codfish caught l.n the Maritimes.

During his stay in Denmark. the young soot from van-waver was taken to I fish-processing plant where an entirely new codfisli pro- duct was being 1) sea. It was shredded, dehyd-.ra ccdiish put up in slaibs in which three pounds of solid fish were compressed into a slab. seven inches long, three inches wide and a quarter of an inch thick.

Securing samples of the new fish prcduct, Mr. Sinclair pre- sented tahom today to Fisheries Minister M/ayhcw, and the latter passed them on to his departmental laboratory and ex- perimental kitchen. Small portions are now being t‘reated’a.nd cooked in different ways to determine if it is likely to appeal to the Canad- ian buying public.

"I’m very familiar with fishpack- ing and processing." Mr. Sinclair said, “but coming from the Pacific Coast I dmft know mudh about cod. The idea seemed a sound one however, and Mr. Mayhem is giv- ing it a fair trial. Flesh of the cod is shredded off. care being taken that nothing but the pure white meat is included. This then goes through a. curing, dehydrating and pressing process and is ready for the market.

"1'-he hydrated as this cod is in Don- mark" Mr. Sinclair said. “Lt that it keeps perfectly without refriger- atlon. has no offensive smell and large quantities can be shipped at moderate costs owing to the small space it occupies. It occurred to me that processing of this kind might prove profitable to cool fishermen of the Maritime Prov- inces and perhaps particularly Newfoundland." Denmark lying at the western end of the Baltic Sea, is in the same position as New- foundland. Prince Edward Island. Nova sootia and New Brunswick inasmuch as it has a surplus of fish. particularly cod, Mr. Sinclair said. when there is a. surplus of any product, best chance of sales is of the highest quality of that product. A country or an import- er who would hesitate to buy ordinary sun-dried cod might

easily be interested in the new dehydrated product. ‘Mr. Sinclair suggests. GIANT FUR AUCTION OSLO -— (OP) — The biggest

fur auction ever held here, lnstiiig two weeks, resulted in the sale of 70.000 furs. Prices of silver fox fur were up 25 per cent and blue fax 10 per cent, but mink prices went down 10 per cent. The big- gest buyers were Britain, France
