Bacon _

By HAROLD MORRISON

OITAWA. Nov. z - (CP) _ The United Kingdom has told, Canada that she lacks dollars to buy Canadian eggs, bacon and newsprint next. year. informed sources said today.

Dollar-short Britain also has in- dicated that she will buy less softwoods and other lumber from this country and will seek lower prices for cheese.

'.l.'h& United Kingdom propogalg are expected to be discussed to- morrow by the Cabinet and may be followed bytrips overseas by either Trade Ministvr Howe or Agriculture Minister Gardiner.

The sources estimated that Bri- tain's decision on Canadian eggs, bacon and newsprint may cost Canada about $60,00Q900 in ex- port trade in 1950. Price read. Justments requested may brig the total loss in trrde to $100,000.- 000.

Egg Exporters Hit

Eggs exporters may be hit. the hardest since Britain provided the largest export market for Cann- dinn eggs. The i940 Anglo-Can- adian egg contract called for the shipment of approximately 4d,- 000,000 dozens in fresh, frozen and processed form at a price of $21.- 000,000.

All Canada

Prince Edwlrd Island stands at the top o! tho list for healthy live- stock, declared Dr. T. Childs, Vet.- erinary Director General of Can-

ada, in an interview here last evening.

Within c few days, when tho testing for bovine tuberculosis under the restricted area plan

will be completed on the Island, the Province will be given full accredited health status for a per- iod of at least six years, Dr. Child: said.

"The number of reactor cattle found has been negligible, and none of these uncovered during the tests were seriously affected." he added.

Dr. Childs is accompanied by Dr. K. F. Wells, associate Chief Veterinarian, Ottawa, and Dr. A. C. Lundie, District Veterinarian for the Maritime Provinces.‘

The Director General expressed his satisfaction with the excel- ‘lont progress made by the depart- mental veterinarians in testing all of the 90,000 to 100,000 cattle on the Island since last May.

He spoke highly of the work of Dr. L. R. Moore who is in charge of the Health of Animals Division veterinarians making the tests. "Dr. Moore pushed the work for-l ward in a very‘ efficient and vig- orous manner to a very satisfac- "tory conclusion," Dr. Childs said.

l-lo also stated that the co-opera- tion of the Provincial officials and the cattle owners with the Departmental veterinarians ac- counts in a large measure for the excellent progress made in com- pleting this highly important work.

“so far as bovine tuberculosis is concerned, the people of this Island will have nothing to worry about, at least for the immediate future,” Dr. Childs declared.

Aiilee's 0ifice Refuses To Confirm _0_r_ Deny

By IKICHAIJI. UMARA IDNDON, Nov. 2 _- (GP) 10rd Calvcrley, Labor member of the House of Lords, said today that Britain's next general 016C- tion will bo held July 6. 1950 - and than refused to amplify the statement or deny that . he was

m“ 81,9581“; Mr. Macdonald declined further Prime Minister Attlee’: office “mm” °“ Pmlm "lbm" refused to confirm or deny it, changes"

saying only that 10rd Calverleys statement is being investigated. Everyone in the House of Lords - except maybe the Government. lenders who know better, or may- be they don't - thought for n moment they had heard the an. swer to the big question that has been bothering Britain for months.

But at the dinner interval their]

lordships were wondering: was’ Lord Calverley. 72-year-old former textile mill worker, guessing - or does he really know?

Lord Calveriey, created a, baron in 1945 when the Labor Govern- ment came to power, has been a party wheel horse for 30 years, In a House of Lords debate tnlay on a Conservative motion 0d censure against the Government, he said in an offhand manner: '

“I venture toflay that when the general election comes on Thursday. July 6. 1950, the noble] lords opposite are going to ‘no still sitting opposite."

Morgan Phillips, secretary of the Labor Party, latertold reporters:

“There is nothing I can say, as it appears to be an expression of private opinion.

"Personally I don't know of any- one who knows the date."

As he left the chamber, Lord Calverley was asked by reporters to amplify his statement.

I-Ie said: “The date I have rnen- tioned is just five years after tho last general election. I have been right in forecasting the dates of every general election since 1910. except tho 1931 election, and in forecasting all seats won and lost."

"was it merely a. guess?” he was asked,

"I know as much as you do."

(At United Nations headquarters in lake Success, N.Y., Hector Mc- Neil, British Minister of State, said he does not believe the election date ha; been set. yet.)

This is the first occasion when the Canadian National Railway has run a "special" for the Island livestock entries. Some weeks ago The Guardian carried n, story of complaints of some breeders re- garding the travelling facilities and Mr. Wright's suggestion that a “speclal" would relieve this situa- tion.
