Gardiner Turns Down Plea For Potato Support Price

had been done in the case of apple growers who had received federal price support.

Delegates from both New Brin- swick and Prince Edward Island, where the bulk of Maritime Peta- toea are grown. had stressed the need for some assistance in view of falling prices and lagging export markets. Marketing prospects for 1950 generally were regarded as dim.

Mr. Gardiner. however. told the conference he had during the two day discussions picked up "some gocd ideas that -will be helpful in working out some plan that would be of help to the producers in the areas concerned." -

.Invli.ee Proposals

He said he has told MB. and P.E.I. Provincial Government rep- resentatives who recently interview- ed him on the price suppcrt ques- tion that they had to "prepare same plan" that Federal authorities could consider. He had not ruled out the possibility of supporting Marl- time potatoes.

But the producers themselves should get tcgetlier in an organiza- tion. both to advise the Federal Government and to see what they could do about disposing ed the po-

tato surplus. He hoped organiza- tion of potato boards would be speeded up

"We said they should put their house in order so we can speak to someone who speaks for all of you." said Mr. Gardiner.

If the Government came right out and said it was going to sup- pcrt potatoes, the country might find that it would have a glut and be destroying potatoes before long.

This wvuidnio more has-mivthan good

to the industry.

Agriculture Minister Taylor oi New Brunswick said many potato prcducers in New Brunswick were faced with "complete bankruptcy." They had been "trying to do a job" but had been "blessed with a

LONDON. Dec. 1 -- (AP) -Prime Minister Attlec will urge President Truman in their talks next week to avoid -war with Communist China at all costs, British informants said tonight.

Attlee will confer with' French Premier Rene Pleven here Saturday and may take with him the sup- port of the Paris Government for a moderate western policy in Korea.

Associates pictured Attlee as be- lieving firmly that avoidance of war with C mxnunist China is the only way to keep Western unity.

The Prime Minister probably will discuss with Tmman British-Amer ican differences on admission of Red China to the United Nations. Britain, which recognizes Commun- ist Chlna. has publicly supported the Chinese admission. Foreign Under Secretary Ernest Davies told the House of Commons Thursday night it would be "far easier to negotiate within the United Nations" it Red China were a. member.

May Visit Ottawa

Attilee will leave Sunday, spend Monday conferring with Brit- ish officials in Waahingfml. and see President Tniman Tuesday. Informed quarters here said he may visit Ottawa before return- ing to London.

In Washington. the White House said there were no plans for repre- sentatives of other governments to attend the Tuesday meeting. There was speculation in Paris that Ple-

New Dairy Spread May Be Answer To Margarine

TORONTO. Dec. 1 --(CP)- The dairy industry of Ontario intends to put its own answer to margarine on the market in about a year. V. S. Milburn. secretary of the Ontario Fed- gr.-itlon of Agriculture, said to-

av.

It will be a "dairy spread" made of butterfat and norr-fat milk solids and will sell at a "competitive" price with in.ar- garine. he told an interviewer. He was amplifying references to the spread. mentioned yes- terday in a Federation brief to the Ontario Government.

The brief called for financial and technical help in develop- ing the spread. which Mr. Mil- hurn said is still in the experi- mental stage. It would be a "healthful" product containing protein. minerals and vitamins.

Margarine has made such inroads. said Mr. Milbunn, that in 1048-49 Ontario dairy farmers suffered a gross loss in sales of nearly 58.000000. re- sulting from it drop in butter consumption of some 19,250,000 pounds.

The production process for the new spread would not be a costly one and present plans are for the average creamery to be able to turn it out. The machines for making it would not run "into the hundreds of thousands of dollars as they do for the manufacture of mar- garlne."

QUEBEC. Dec 1. --(CPl -Tired and bedragglcd after their trying experience. ill: 43 crew members of ihe Esso Rochester. wrecked off Anticosti Island Wednesday night by heavy gales, arrived here to- day aboard the Montreal-owned tanker Maruiba.

The British crew abandoned ship without taking time in save person- al possessions. All said they were in "good condition."

Skipper of the wrecked United States Essa Rochester is Captain J. H. Palmer - Falgaie of Freshwa- ter Bay. Isle of Wight.

George Hewitt. bosun of the 11550 Rochester. 50-year-old veteran of 27 years at sea described the wrecking of the American ship in a raging gale that sent wavu 15 to 20 feet -high smashing against the vesel.

He said the ship was finally smashed by two heavy waves from each side.

"The tanker broke off 35 feet from the bow at the point where No. 3 tank was situated. The bro- ken forward part of the ship swung to the left and then wastripped off.

"I had been in the forward part of the ship only 30 minutes before. There was no one there at the time the -bow came off.”

"Atom Eons ii Ruled Out For Present

SIDUL. Dec. 1 -(5aiiurday)- (AP)-ouii-off Americeni marines and infantrymen made a fighting retreat in Northeast Korea Friday while the United States Eighth Ar- my braced for expected heavy new Chinese Communist blows in the northwest.

There was no intention at pres- ent to use the atom bomb-a. wea- pan of last resort-against over- whelming Chinese Communist forces, Gen. MacArthur's head- quarters indicated.

Ma.cArthur himself was quoted as regarding the situation as crit- ical, but not hopeless.

Chinese Reds-numbering prob- ably more than 300.000 on the two fronts-filtered at one point to within 00 miles east of Pyongyang. the former Korean Communist cap- ital. Their speairheads had split the Eighth Army in the west from road contact with the U. S. 10th Corps in the east.

Fresh Chinese Troops

At other points the Chinese bor- rowed an old Korean Red ruse. They donned flowing white Kor- ,ean civilian robes over their quilt- ed winter uniforms.

Thousands of "civilians"-there was no indication how many might be disguised Chinese troops-were reported moving south across the frozen Chongchon River, 40 miles north of Pyongyang.

A biting wind swept North Kor- ea. as a cold snap approached.

Taking advantage of clear wea- ther, Allied fighters and bombers hurled all available planes at the advancing Chinese. They slammed hardest at 10.000 Red troops cross- ing the Chongchon west and south of Kunu "with many vehicles."

The U. S. 2nd Division had held the Kunu keystone position ag- ainst overwhelming odds long en- ough to permit successful withdraw- oi across the Chongchon River by

OTTAWA. Dec. 1 -(OP) -Pro- vincial representatives urged the Federal Government today to con- tinue its policy of providing freight assistance on the shipment of Westem-grown feed grains to Eastern livestock producers.

That was the dominant theme of addresses delivered by Canada's 10 Provincial Ministers of Agricult- ure. or their assistants. as the two- day Federal-Provincial agricultur- al conierence ended.

while all of them touched on Provincial agricultural problems. most of tiiem were agreed that the subsidy. which began during the war and is renewed on an an- nual basis. is a good thing for Canadian agriculture as a whole some suggested it be made per- nianeni.

Agriculture Minister Gardin- er made no reference to the assistance in his closing. ad- dress. but he told the 100 de'e- gates Tluirsday that if they could prove in him that the producer receives the benefit of the subsidy. it would be continued for another year.

The conference generally closed on an optimistic note. During the two days. its delegates had re- celved and discussed Federal re- ports dealing with 1950 production and 1951 outlook for the many products of Canadian agriculture.

Fewer Complaints

Mr. Gardiner told the delegates he had fewer complaints to answer than at any time since the confer- ences began in 1941.

.7. G. Taggart. Mr. Gard.iner'a deputy, said he felt personally that some of the reports were perhaps too optimistic.

He suggested. too. that much of the current increase in food prices was going to the distributors and not enough to the producer. Re- tail prices appeared to be much higher than the return to the farmer.
