Potato Shipments By liail llown From Last Year

.___._

Over ' 1.800 ears of potatoes have been. ferried from Borden to Tormentine so far this season which is about 300 cars less than for the corresponding period last year, local railway officials in- formed the Guardian yesterday. Shipments of turnips, however, showed an increase as 386 cars were shipped up to midnight. Nov. 12, as compared to 274 cars for the corresponding period last year.

While the decrease in the quan- tity of potatoes shipped so fur this season is directly attribut- able to the freight-car shortage, railway officials said, they stated that another reason was the fact that the present season was two weeks later than that of 1046 so that. when sufficient cars were available last September to take care of approximately the same quantity of potatoes as were ship- ped in September, 1946. the pota-

toes were stlll in tho fields.

In the meantime large quantities of potatoes are in safe storage and can be shipped as facilities are available. One local denier has 10.000 bags in frost proof storage at the local airport awaiting ship- mentby water. The same dealer has 37,000 bags in storage at O'Leary. 10,000 at Mount Pleas- ant where he has storage room for 35.000 more bags. l-le also has 22,000 bags at Colvllle Sta- tion.

Belt Tightening For Canadians Forecast

Must Cut Buying Splurge To Benefit llnder Marshall Plan

,3! l-K. CARNEGIE

OTTAWA. Nov. l3 — (OP) — Canadians will have to tighten their belts if Canada is Icing to gain any advantage in her dwind- ling dollar situation through im. plementatton of the Marshall Plan, Government economists said to. day.

While the Dominion, getting des- perately shorg on U5. dollars, stands to ben fit to some extent by the proposed scheme, observers here fclt. that the tremendous buy- ing splurge by Canadians ls elim- inating any surplus of Canadian goods which might be exported to other countries and hence limiting a possible means of re.couping dollar losses.

While Canada probably will not hear the full story until Parlla. ment meets Dec. 5, officials are understood to hold the opinion that restrictions of domestic con- nimpiioti will be necessary if Can- ada is to gainflhrouglt the Mar- shall Plan; '

Surveys have been made of Con. title's production possibilities should the United States Congress accept the $7,500,000.000 Proposal of State Secretary Marshall for European recovery and go along with him in making this motley available for purchases not only in the United Siules but. also in Canada and South American countries.

Washington has asked Ottawa what Canada can supply if Con. gross agrees to purchases in Can- ada. Sc far Ottawa has been un- able to give a direct answer but has asked Washington what sup- plies would be needed. Washington doesift know. It will be some weeks before this is straightened out.

If the United States went so far as to take over Canada's wheat and bacon agreements with the United Kingdom, allowing Canada to continue filling the contracts but getting full payments in Un. lied States dollars instead of, as ut present, half in American dol. lurs arid half on credit. thcn the situation would be splendid for

Canada. Doubt is expressed by men who have been studying the situa-

Nobel Prize Winners In. Physics, Literature Announced ~ Yesterday

____. ,

8110011111. Nov. l8 - (AP) —Nobel Prizes in physics and chemistry were awarded tonight to two British scientists While the literature award went to Andre Gide, a French author who form- erly was an enthusiast for Com- munlsrn.

Sir Edward Appleton, 55, who helped lay the groundwork for radar. received the award in phys. lcs. He was cited for "his con- trixutions in exploring the lono. sphere, i.e., electrically conductive strata in the upper atmosphere on the earth."

Sir Robert Robinson, 61, an or- ganic chemist, received the chem- istry award "for his research re. gardlng biological significant sub- stances from the vegetable king. dom, especially alkaloids."

Sir Edward is from Cambridge University and Sir Robert from Oxlord. This marked the second time since the Nobel Prizes first were awarded in 1901 that both the chemistry and physics awards went to Britain, The prizes are worth about 340.000 each.

Gide is the eighth French writ- er to win the literature award.

Gide, a bald bespectacled bach- elor, announced in the early 1030s that he had become a Commun. isi. In 1933, he gave a memorial speech at the funeral of Russian author, Maxim Gurki, in l\loscow's Red Square.

For the next three years his en- thusiasm for Commutiism was at. a peak, but he bccumedisillusloncrl when he visited i\'i0SL'0'.V in 1936 at the time of the "purge" trials. Re. turning to Paris he wrote two books - "Return From The U.S,- SR." and “Afterthought Of The U.S.S.R." expressing this disillus- ionment. Subs quently many French intellectuals joined him in the reac- tlon against Communism. '

tin an interview in Nencltatcl. Switzerland, Gide said; "1 have a terrible fear of the success of to- tolalitarian systems over the world. I am a determined indiv. iduullst, and to me all dictator- ships, whether they be black, white or red, are equally terrible")

In London, Sir Edward said he wished to acknowledge his debt to the many people and organizations all over the world who had helped to make his work possible.

Sir Robert, a scientist, mount- aineer and expert chess player, is a past president of the British Royal Society. He was one of the three Oxford scientists first to synthesize penicillin.
