Honey production in Prince Bd- ward Island this year is estimated at 32.000 pounds against 62.000 the previous yegr. Arvi of this year's output only 55°11‘ 15.909 900M! will be marketed, the remainder being retained by the beekeepes-s to start their colonies next spring. Some 40,000 pounds were marketed from the 1M5 crop,

The number of leelteepars this year was the same as the previous year but the num-iu‘ of colonies was increased.

Mr. Warren Burns of the Char- lottetown Expcl-‘lnental Station, who ‘is fleldman fo; the beekeep- ing industry here said last nlsht "we are blaming tile small amount of honey made ills year on the lock of moisture in the soil in July."

UITAWA. Dec. lo-Britian Oo- llmhia and the Dominion Gov- ernment have agreed en terms whlch’likely will lead to the sign- ing of a new taxsflon agreement, it. was learned authoritatively to- night.

A source in close touch with the negotiations which h!" been going on here for the last ilwo weeks said that all signs pointed to an agreement although no ‘an- nouncement likely would be made un-til Premier Hart has returned to Victoria and conferred with isle cabinet.

Premier Hart declined a direct reply when asked by reporters if the Dominion Cabinet had ac- cepted the alternative proposals he had outlined to federal offic- ials during his stay here.

‘The nature of Mr. Hart's alter- native proposals have not been disclosed and there were indicat- ions they would not be until he has met with his cabinet. It was understood that the proposals came before the federal cabinet during the day and that they were found generally acceptable.

British Columbia would be the fourth province tn enter into an agreement with the Dominion to replace wartime taxation agree- ments under which the provinces

Injured Island Man Taken Off Disabled Ship

HAMILTON, Bermuda. Dec. 10 (OP Chlblel-Two injured mam. bers of the crew of the crippled Canadian National Steamships liner Canadian Cruiser were re. moved by a United States Navy crash boat today as me 5m], steamed slowly towards Hamilton,

The two men, steward Napoleon J- Arscnault. Summereide, P.E.r., and Able Seaman Thomas Mc- Lwehlln. Verdun, Quebec, w," brought to the United States navy dispensary for treatment butmo lllltlrmflllon was elven out on the nature of their injuries.

The light craft which brought them in encountered 30-foot waves as it covered the a1 miles be. tween the Canadian Cruiseru pa. sltion this afternoon and Hamil- ton.

When a United States air-sea rescue plane was sent out to the ship yesterday it was reported that a passenger with a atrangu. lated hernia needed treatment. It was not made clear today wheth- er one of the crew rneunbers had been originally described as a passenger.

The plane was unable to take 0H 17868058 0f high seas and the airmen were taken aboard the shilp willie American authorities made plans to salvage the alr- craft.

Meanwhile. the Canadian Cruis- er. which sailed from Halifax Dec. 0 on her maiden voyage to Bermuda and the West Indies was expected to reach port tomor-

‘Rte actual damage suffered by the ship still was in doubt to- day. Although American naval authorities said she had lost her rudder. C. N. S. agents in Hamil- ton said she had engine trouble.

Britain Turns To Former Sources For Meat Supplies

IONDON. Dec. ill-CF Cable)- Canadlan supremacy as a supplier- of cereals and bacon to the United Kingdom remains un- challenged but in some other products, such as meat. Britain is buying more elsewhere.

One reason for the latter point is that normal trade conditions still are to return and food is being sought wherever it can be found.

Board of Trade filfures for l0 months of 1946 show the strong return of the Argentine, Australia and New Zeaiand as meat sup- pliers. Of total meat imports. Canada this year has supplied about one-seventh by wcig-ht com- pared with about one-fourth in the first l0 months of 1945.

The decline took place despite the fact that the United King- dom depends on Canada almost entirely to maintain _her bacon ration which is in danger of be- ing cut below the present three ounces a week due to reduced supplies from the Dominion.

The total cost of imported meats so far this vear has been 11120000000 and the Canadian share has been £2l,000.000.

(By The Canadian Press)

HALIFAX, Dec. 10—A promin- ent fellow Nova Scotia Liberal said here tonight the transfer oi’ Rt. Hon. J. L. Ilsley from the finance to the justice portfolio of the federal cabinet was an indi- cation to him that Mr. Ilsley was aspiring to a judicial appoint- ment and had given up the idea of returning to private law prac- tice.

The Liberal. who did not allow his name to be used. speculated that Mr, Haley's acceptance of the justice ministry and his con- sequent decision to remain in the cabinet was an indication that he had definitely decided to be in line for the bench when he fin- ally realises his wish to retire from politics.
