E mpire Premiers’ Conference

The war's first meeting 0f EYPPlY° Pflmc Uiniqers will take place shortly in the Old (fountrv. Din-in; l’rime Minister Mackenzie l§inqisizlliﬁtllC€ his place will be filled at Ot- lawn bv mn- Prince County representative, Hon. l. I.. i-{al-tnn, Minister 0f Nﬂllf-mal Defcﬂie- This i. as i: should he, as there is no abler 0r more expcrivnccrl mam in the Cabinet than Col- R;1l<1w-::_ Hr, King himself, it will be recalled, formerly represented Prince County in the House of lmnmons. _

'l'he coming conference will be important, 1n- asmuch as all aspects of imperial policy are likely tn come up for discussion. Prime Min- ister (‘lmmliill has expressed the hope that it will 1;;- will.‘ of manv to he held in the near future. He is thus qlltiltulilfl a Canadian Press cable:

"litvlttisg of rhis meeting, Mr. Churchill ne- fraiucd from any (lPflllllC commitments but he rllrl assure the Fmpirc it would emerge from the war with its imperial preference plan un- hampered by the Atlantic Charter 0r the 1942 lend-lease agreement with the United Staten. With air travel in peacetime it would be easy t0 have ‘Grime Klinisters meeting every year or more often on evvry serious occasion, he said. During the period of the war those meetings would he encouraged at any time. Then, B! luembcrs cheered, he said it would not be neces- sarv for the meetings always to take place in Inn/lint, adding. with a. smile, ‘I'm quite ready that we should take wing in the future'."

Mr. Beverley Baxter, Canadian-born M. P. in the British Fnmmons, is quoted as saying that if in the cici-is years before I939 the Empire had d-‘cln-cil its solidarity and willingness of evccv component part to act together in case of war, and if the United States had declared l defensive alliance with the Empire, Hitler might have been restrained and the Nazis might have cnllr‘. ‘wl. This is almost tritely true. It is to be how-l the cir-flv le<son has been duly learn- ed, and that the coming conference of Empire Prime ll 'trrs will show more evidence of solidarity than ivas evident in the immediate pl'C~\\'Fll‘ yCElTS.

Basing bet hopefulnm for the ultimate defeat of the diseue on the steady progress for our; made in Britain between the two wars, she said that with the wholehearted support of the men and women 0f Canada, ven- ereal disease would no longer be a. real problem here.

Notification has been received from National Defence Headquarters of reports that mmﬂ units and individuals 0f t-hi Clhlflllﬂ Arm l" Canada are wearing the khaki beret. a _hey point out that while the beret has been officially adopted by the Canadian Army Overseas, it has not as yet been introduced for use in Can- ada and permission has not been granted by N.D.H.Q. for any unit or individual to wear this type of headgear hero. It is learned that immediate steps are being taken to ensure that the khaki beret will not under any circumstances be worn by units or individuals until official noti- fication is received of its introduction for use in Canada. An exception to this ruling, they point out, may be permitted only in the case of officers and other ranks 0f the Canadian Army Overseas who have returned t0 Canada. on tem- porary duty, 0r on leave, or for discharge. a a a a Long Island potatoes, which farmers held in the llOpe 0f getting high prices just before the new I944 crop came in, are being bought by the U. S. Government and shipped to dehydrat- ing plants. They will be turned into cattle feed 0r processed into alcohol. Meanwhile, growers tool: issue with Mayor LaGuardia’s statement that it would be easier t0 obtain human consump- tion of the new bumper crop if prices were low- ered. The farmers say this is not so and con- sider the suggestion impractical in view of Government price-supporting policies. Mr. Fred Vahlsing, one of the country's largest growers, said, “The Mayor wants potatoes five pounds for 15 cents, but who is going to unload them, sack them and send them to the consumer for that price when under the Government scheme they bring $2.75 a. hundred or almost three a pound at wholesale here?” a n- a Lend-Lease or not: lend-lease, Russian soldiers don't like U.

The mix- turc has been labeled "Carter Spread", and Am- crican soldiers also refuse to use it, WFA sources (lisclnses. Despite the rejection of the mixture in many quarters, plants in New York, jersey City, Philadelphia and Chicago are continuing to convert vast quantities of last year's butter into Carter Spread. But under the reduction order from the Soviet Government, only one- third of the original allotment will be accepted, and shipment 0f butter oil will be stepped up. The WFA also discloses the U.S. Government has 82,000,000 pounds of butter packed in stor- age, as against 16,000,000 a year ago. At the same time, high ration point costs limit butter
