OTTAW , June 34 - (Special) —-One of the reasons why costs of fertilizer are so high in the Mar- itime Provinces is on account of the large volume oi fertilizer shipped out of the country, it was revealed today in an answer to a question asked by 11.11. Hatfield, Progressive Conservative member for Victoria-Carleton, NB.

The answer to the New Bruns- wick potato magnateb question was that export permits for 203,- 1-50 short tons of ammonium nit- rate had been granted to Canad- ian fertilizer companies from Jan- uary 1, 194,7, to Juncd, 1040. The Trade arid Commerce Department could not say if this entire quan-

tity was exported out- o1 the country. _ . Birportable surplus of nitrogen

after domestic requirements were filled were 132,402 metric tons, the ofificial reply continued. ‘Ibeport prices for ammonium nitrate, the Department answered vaguely, "vary according to supplying com- panies and countries‘ of destina- tion." When it came to Mr. Hat- fieldb question as to whom TB. export permits for fertiliser were issued, the oiiiclal rwly was:

"Iii is not in the public iniareat to disclose the private business oi the individual concerns."

Dewey Choice a Of Republicans

(By Clyde Blaokb )

Pl-IILADEIIPI-IIA, June zb-(CP) -—Governor Thomas B. Dewey oi New York tonight became Repurnl- can presidential candidate in n wave of wildly enthusiastic unam- mity in the party's national con- vention.

While a hurricane-like wind and blazing electrical storm shook vise vast and crowded convention hail, the Dewey opposition melted use snow in mid-summer. The third ballot was a mere formality.

The break came soon after the convention resumed at the ever.- ing session. Two ballots this after- noon gave Dewey 515 votes-CS short of the necessary 548.

His leading contender, Senator ‘Robert A. Tait of Ohio sent w the rostrum his mover, Senator John Bricker of Ohio, with a message releasing Taft supportersand u. - ing them to vote for Dewey-“a great Republican .\vho will be i: great President." Other. contend- ers immediately (allowed suit.

Taft had 274 votes when the second ballot ended and described the recess-as "a. sign of weakness" on the part of the New Yorkcfis workers because they had agreed to the recess.

But the stop-Dewey movement which had wanted the recess to reorganize apparently saw no nope of slamming the Dewey flood and when the convention resumed it was all over.

. Thus Dewey, the former clioi:

‘Yer district attorney and twice elected Governor of New Yul-k, approached the acme of his s21". bitlons.

He sought and lost the nomin- ation in 1040 when the late Wen- dell Wiikle stole the convention. l-Ie won it in 1044 but was beats: by President Franklin D. R1055‘ velt. This time he has liis greatest opportunity to win the White House Job.

OTTAWA, June 24. - C. C. F. speakers drew to the attention of the Conuncns today complaints that "displaced persons" from Eur- ope are displacing Canadian work- ers in some industries.

Clarle Gillls (CCF-Cape Breton South) said he received these com- plaints from different sections and was supported by H. W. l-Ierridge (People's C.C.I".--Kootenay west).

Mr. Gillis also contended the in- flux of displaced persons had re- sulted in ending the labor Depart- ment's program oi moving unan- ployed liaritimers to Cantrq Can-

In addition to these basic ex- penditures, Prince County will se- cure additional works to the armunt of nearly $100,000 and King's to the amount of more than JSMCOO. Items affecting the Province and amounts involved are as follows: '

Prince Edward Island car ferry and terminals, $600,000.

Capital account for the con- struction of an ice-breaking ferry, $534,170.

A Bevote

Public building, Summerside, $50,000. This itcm, J. Watson Mac- Naught, Liberal member for Prince told The Guardian today is really a revote for construction of a new post office at Summerside. It is unlikely that actual con- structio-n work will be inaugurat- ed this year.

Wharf and breakwater at Fish- lll! COW. (Cape Egmont), Prince County, $47,000. This item was specially asked for by Mr. Mac- Naught and involves moving for- mer whart facilities to another and more suitable location. Ten- ders for the work will be solicited in July, the Prince member is in- formed and it is hoped that wcrk may begin late in July or early in August. '

Annandale (King's), boat basil. $12,000. This is an impruvmscnt in existing harbor conditions re- quested some time ago by Dr. T.V. Grant, Liberal member for King's.

The estimates also contain a vote of $8,300 as an additional amount required to complete wharf construction at Montague.
