OTTAWA. Feb. 11- (Speciall- Auuranca that apaca for an office of the Bank of Canada ia being Provided for in plans for the new public building in Charlottetown was given by Finance Minister Abbott in the House of Common; this afternoon. Mr. Abbott's state- menf. was in reply to a question asked by W. Cheater S. McLure. Progressive Conservative member for Queen's.

"The situation in Charlottetown was this". Mr. Abbott, said. "The Bank of Canada was obliged to v» cate the premises which it oc- cupied. and was unable to find any other premisea with suitable vault accommodation. Pending the ob- taining of such premises. it has made arrangements with the East- ern Trust Company of Charlotte- town, so that the people of that city. and of Prince Edward llsland. will not be inconvenienced.

"I understand my colleague the Minister of Public Works (Mr. Fourniert, in the ‘preparation of the planx for the new public build- in: in Charlottetown. is taking in- to account the needs of the Bank of Canada at that point."

A second question asked by Mr. McLure as to what the Dominion Government are doing to give relief to incapacitated persons in Canada drew an affirmative answer from Health and \‘Velfai'c Minister Mar-J tin. Following up prior questionst Mr. McLure asked if the Healihl and Welfare Department plnniléfll to aid physically handicapped and crippled persons. Mr. Martin re- plied:

"I would call the attention of the honorable gentleman to the provisions that are made in the national health plan to cover tub- crcular patients. people suffering from cancer, people suffering from arthritis, people suffering from poliomyelitia, people suffering from mental disease and so on."

It iii understood that Mr, Mc- Lure is asking Mr. Marlin to ap- ply thc section of the national health plan relating to physically’ handicapped persons to Prince Ed- ward Island ln the immediate fii- tli e.

TOKYO. Feb. 1i —~ tReuu-rsi -- The Utiitcd States is reconciled to the loss of Japan in the event of war, it. was learned today from authoritative American sources,

A recent strategic survey of the world has convinced at least some of the lcadinr: military experts in Washington that Japan is inde- fensible. They are privately ad- vocating early withdrawal of all United States occupation forces.

The Pacific generally is retzard- ed in the light of the survey as of

its defence.

This conclusion has been l"Bi‘h- ed, it is learned, despite the full realization that Australia and the Phillippines to mention only two countries primarily concerned in Pacific defence would ccn- sldcr their positions seriously jeopardized because o.’ the poss- ibility of Russia moving in to re- place the outgoing Americans.

It ls emphasized, however that the final decision 1e quit Japan has not hctll reached.

The principal factors aife ting this new Attiri-iran appro=eh to Japan arc that the loss of indus- trial Western Europe in a war with the Soviet Union would at. best delay’ the ivinniiig of a third world war for between 15 and 4c years. At worst it would result in a Sov- let victory.

Fix FIooErE-At $1.40 Per Sack At Montreal

—-tCP)—In an effort to bolster potato pricea and prevent indivi- duals and organizations from taking advantage of the present "buyers" market. an organization of potato shippers of the Grand Falls area has agreed not to make any ship- ments of potatoes to the Montreal market at prices below $1.40 per ‘lb-pound bag, F.O.B. Montreal. The organization, representing about 90 per cent of the potato shippers between St. Leonard and Aroostook Junction, was formed at a meeting here last night. H. L. Mulherin was elected president. Each of the 60 shippers present, de- posited $300 as a guarantee that he will not violate the terms of the agreement,

Mr. Mulherin said in an inter- view tonight that, with the guar- anteed prlce of $1.15 per 100 pounds under the Governments support price program, his association felt that, poirito farmers should not he too hasty in marketing their 1948 crop. l The new organization has cxiend- ‘ ed an open invitation to potato. shippers throughout the Province to attend a meethig in Grand Falls on Monday, to express their views about marketing New Brunswick‘ potatoes,

Mr. Mulherin said his organlza-l lion believed there was no surplus t of potatoes in the. Grand Falls: area. The organization would urge; farmers to ask a price of at least $2 per barrel. delivered at the warehouse. The growers could al- ways fall back on the Government support price of $1.15 per hundred- weight for Canada No, 1 in the bins on the farm. He. said this price would be equivalent to the Sll-pcr- barrel price for the potatoes deliv- ered at a warehouse.

Urging farmers to get iii their supply of fertilizer right, away, Mr. W. R. Shaw, Deputy Minister of Agriculture states in his weekly market service report that. in spite of the favourable weather and road-hauling conditions, only 10% of last, year's quantify has been moved to the farms to date.

Mr. Shaw forecast a steady low- erlng in the price of feed grains during the next few months: gave serious warning on the type of western oats sold and sown as seed oats; indicated a scarcity of tim- othy grass-seed. at a higher price, with clover seed some 6 ccnts n lb. cheaper than last year: and stated that. seed potatoes exported from the Province to dale tliia year ls one quarter of a million bushels over the some period last year.

In a very general way there seems to be some evidence of a

market. This is by no mcbns in- dlcative of an abrupt slide. into a depression but a more or loss nor- mal development in the consumer trade.

A report from the United States. for instance, shown a wholesale market that has sagged down some on such commodities as corn, oats. lard and rye. The break In some cases seems to be insistent. It la interesting to note that at Jan- uary Zlth the wholesale commodity index prices were at. 165.35 as against 207.80 at January 15th. 1948.

There wholesale recessions how- ever, whether in Canada or the United States, are not having a lerloua immediate effect upon pric- es of retail goods, although ln some instances in Canada there has been a drop in the price of meats. can- ned goods and some other com- mo tics.

There is no doubt that the price .e essions across the border will have aome effect upon price levels operating in Canada, and possibly it will be to the general benefit oi all classes of people if there la some levelling out in consumer val- uea. and more particularly of thoae materials and machinery that en- te_r into coat of production on the
