OTTAWA, Oct. 13—(CP)—Whl1e Canada ls anxious to retain part of the bacon market in the United Kingdom, the Federal Agriculture Department has no intention of asking farmers to produce more hogs for Britain, Agriculture Min- istcr Gardiner said tonight in the Commons.

Speaking during study of Agri- culture Department estimates, Mr. Gardiner said United Kingdom of- ficials have stated that they have not the dollars to psy for Canad- ian bacon.

That was the starting point. The Canadian Government replied that Canadian farmers have got into the habit of sending a lot of bacon to Britain and they would like to continue to do so. The British were asked how many doflars they could spare for bacon purchases

~ and then the quantity in the con-

tract was fixed.

The Canadian farmers then were told the contract price for the bacon and what it represented in the price of hogs. They were told that if they could sell their hogs elsewhere at prices higher when provided in the contract to go ahead and do so. The United King- dom, as a result of the dollar shortage, would just as soon not buy Canadian bacon.

(The 1949 Anglo-Canadian bacon contract calls for the shipment of 160,000,000 pounds. So far only about 30,000,000 pounds have been shipped. Officials believe no more than about 50.00000 or 60,000,000 pounds will be sent. during the current year. Britain is paying for Canadian bacon out‘ of Mar- shall aid funds at the rate of $30 per hundredweight for No. 1 Wilt- shire sides.)

No Election In Britain This Year

LONDON, Oct. 13 (C?) Downing Street made it official today - there will be- no general election in Britain this year.

In a single sentence, Prime Min- ister Attlee made clear the Gov- ernment's intention to complete its legislative program before go- ing to the people.

The statement issued from 10 Downing Street, the Prime Min- lster's official residence, quenched months of "election fever." It said simply:

"Raving regard to the disturb- Ing effects on trade and industry and on the national effort by the continuance of ‘speculations as to an early election, the Prime Min- ister thinks it right to inform the country oi his decision not to ad- vise l-llsiMajesty to dissolve Par- liament this year."

The Prime Minister thus spurn- ed once and for a.ll the possibility of a "snap" appeal to the elector- ate ln the coming weeks. Instead. the battle of the ballots which ev- eryone expects to be one oi the most bitter in Britain's history. will be deferred,‘ probably until May of 1900.

Meanwhile, Attleo and his Cab- inet colleagues are gambling that

N" the government can ride out the

current economic orisla without any loss of prestige among the

eo o.

Wiiith this in mind. Atbloo is ex- pected to follow the election an- nouncement with s. strongly-word- ed sppeai for harder work by ov- eryone.

Revise Potato Crop Estimate

(By The Canadian Press)

OTTAWA. Oct. 13 —'Cenada'a 1949 potato crop is estimated at 494100.000 hundredwelght, compar- ed with last year's crop of 55,300,- 000 hundredweight. the Bureau of Statistics reported today in. new revised estimates.

Last month the Bureau laced the new crop at only 48,800,000 hundredweight. The later estimate was slightly higher than a month ago, but still well below the 1048 crop. At the same time, it oom- pal-ed favorably with the 10-year average of 43,800,000 hundred. welght- for 1939-48.

This was reported in the October estimates for late-sown crops. The report showed the output of dry peas, turnips and mangles and mixed grains is lower than last year while output of dried beans will ‘be up slightly.

Production of shelled corn is expected to be the largest since 1942, but the buckwheat yield may

be lowest since 1008.

TRACADIE, N.S., Oct. 13 —(CP) - An age-old problem of farmers -- how to keep their sons on the farm — was discussed in ‘this Northern Nova Scotla. town today by the Antigonlsh Diocesan Rural Conference.

Dr. Hugh MacPherson, agricul- ture expert from St. Francis Xav- ier University. said: "What we need are secondary farm schools spread through Nova Scotia, avail- able to everybody, where nothing but farming will be taught)!

The conference considered plans fol- land settlement by both native sons and immigrants. Ways were looked for to encourage sons of farmers to remain on the land and occupy vacant farms in East- ern Noval Scotia.

John E. McIntyre of Canadian National Railways‘ colonization de- partment, Moncton, 11.3., told the meeting of five regional farm short courses now being offered in

w Brunswick between November a d April. , .

He said experience in that Prov- ince showed that young men at- tending such courses were more inclined to continue in fanning than the sons of farmers attend- ing rural high schools,

Dr. MacPherson said few stud- ents from Eastern Nova Scotia were enrolled in the Provincial Agriculture College at Truro but that smaller units of the college spread throughout the Province would act as inducements to young men to attend.

RJ. MacBween, director of mar- keting for the Nova Scotia De- partment of Agriculture, said farmers had two main sources of credit: The Farm Credit Act 1n Nova Scotia and the Canada Farm Loan Board.

Rev. Francis MacIsaao of Iona, Rev. D14‘. Roberts of Princevilla and Roland Delorey of Tracsdie criticized the Nova Scotia Farm Credit Board for what they laid was difficulty in obtaining loans. "Too much red tape," Mr. Delorcy said.

Rev. Allan 1. McAdam of Lake- vale suggested that the 8% per cent interest rate on form loans was high. Ho said tonslderation might be given to relieving good farmers of some of their interest payments as a bonus for farm improvements.

Britain’sTrade Pact Talks With Russia Bog Down

LONDON, Oct. 13—-(AP)- Bri- tain ia planning to loosen control over trade with certain East-Eur- opean countries in a bid to boost

business with the non-dollar world. This info. atlon came today

from responsible diplomats who reported at the same time nego- tiations for an Anglo-Russian trade pact virtually have collapsed.

Britain's trading with Russia will continue on ll contract basis only, they said.

The Board of Trade Oct. 5 opened the way for private trad- ers to import a long list of food, machinery and raw material items from most West-European and Commonwealth countries.

The informants said British authorities since then have sug- gested to the Poles that these trade ‘liberation arrangements be extended on a reciprocal basis to take in their two countries. Bri- tain has a good-sized trade pact with Poland.

The Board of Trade,- according to those informants, ia believed ready to loosen restrictions on bualnoaa also with Clcchoslovakla, Hungary and other countries 1n Russia's sphere of influence.

Mr. Mao- Nsught. was obliged to cut short his stay in Prince Edward Island and. return to Ottawa in connec- tion with legislation regarding fish inspection and inspection of fish containers and marine plants, which comes before Parliament this week.

"Prince Edward Island will be affected favorably by the clause in the bill covering inspection of Irish moss. If the legislation goes through as I believe it will, it will make for a standard product which should be more readily marketed than if the moss is in different forms," Mr. MacNaught said.
