In it the Soviet Union reaffirmed its troubles but expressed willing- ness to hold the Paris talks for a preliminary purvey of the topics which the foreign ministers might later study.

The three Western Governments

held hasty talks after arrival of the Russian note. Decision to go ahead with the Paris meeting was disclosed by Michael J. McDermott. U. a. state Department press offic- er. But he said: "The soviet note does not sug- gest any real chance in attitude on their part which would encourage the hope that the four ministers would be able to,reach useful ag- reement."

Warning to Optimists

This was a warning to the noti- Communist world against optimis- tic expectation that the negotiations will solve major world problem and usher in is new era of relaxed living.

The Western Powers have sug- gested that the Big Four should meet in agreement on an agenda. The speculation is that barring un- foreseen difficulties in -the Paris talks. the main conference may be set up for some time in April.

about it. Potatoes are a. cash crop but it is possible in the future that potatoes may not be a. cash crop and only a few take part in it.

"There is nothing new or radical about the ideas of quotes. They have been used with success in the field of fluid milk and where sur- pluses have occurred arrangements have been made to take care of them at lower prices.

"Quote. marketing has been in ef- hct in the marketing of grain since 1040. The acreages have been regis- tered and as markets increase the quotas increase. Their purpose is to prevent a few farmers from fili- ing the elevators with grain.

"In British Columbia a. quota sys- tem of marketing potatoes is in force. This is devised to insure all growers with a share of the domes- tic market. No attempt has been made to limit the acreage. The quotes are set low and if the mar- ket is strong the quotas are in- creased. '

"Possibly the system has a great deal to offer. I feel that it should be carefully considered. In the fall the grower has no choice but to place potatoes on the market. The problem boils down to this 'Are growers willing to share with theli' ncighbors in the available markets?

"Quota marketing would have no influence on the volume of pota- toes exported but could have an influence on the time exported. It would mean that all could market a portion of his crop in the fall."

Something

Mr. Holman on beginning his talk threw a number of pennies into the crowd. On seeing some mem- bers picking up the coins. he com- pared it with a demonstration of human nature. "rrytng to get something for nothing.'

"As g theory I believe quota mar- keting is excellent." he stated. 'When it comes to wheat or any- thing that can be held over in an elevator for a year. it is very good. At the present time regarding pota- toes in a. surplus area, it is only a theory.

"Thls system is being presented and recommended by people without any marketing experience. I have worked for the past three years in a potato surplus produc- ing area in Ontario where the growers have rebelled against the quota marketing system and vot- ed out the marketing board. That action should be an argument against jumping into it.

"There is no reason why we should attempt it here. It possibly can work in British Columbia where potatoes are provided in small quantity and marketed in the province. We ship to all the provinces. United states. Pales- tine. other countries even South Africa. '

"To work it is necessary to have frost proof storage at railway sid- inga for the entire crop so that each smaligrowerhpotatoes would be available for shipment when his turn came. We have only stor- age facilities for 15 per cent of the crop.

"The heavy fallmovement might be done away with if the agency held out for higher prices. With- out adequatmstorage we would lose a great deal. Withholding of supplies could mean a loss of mar- kefs. This happened in Ontario where the marketing board held an umbrella of fictional controlled prices for three years. As a result other potato producing areas mushroomed.

"Before the quota system these growers got. 33.00 a bushel and last year they were getting 31.00. The Ontario growers suffered and we in turn suffered because their potatoes were withheld. Not only did they put themselves out of business but they also hurt us.

"In quote system the growers are regimented. This year our av- erage shipment has been i.000 car per month or 150 bushel per grower per month. Under the quota system the grower has no chance to go to the other dealer who might pay a dime higher.

"Do we as growers want one price for all or freedom to sell at higher prices? Freedom or con- trols?"

Mr. Dewar pointed out that Mr. Holman had based most of his objections to the system's working on one section of Ontario. He atel- ed that Mr. Iioimsn'a figures on potato prices in that section lend- ed to give misinformation as stow- are there had received as high I! I bushel last year and down

.00.

I-10 also wondered why the growers asked for a quota market- ing system if they had received 03.00 a bushel and what would their condition be this fall. "The Growers may have freedom but thev will likely have poverty as well." he stated.

an-. Yeo asked Mr. Holman sev- eral questiona on I quote sys- tem regarding es in Ontario and the institution. of the Board.

Mr. Jerome O'Brien stated that most of the farmer-slin Ontario last summer were disappointed at the prices. lie recounted being in Ontario on July 10 when potatoes were selling at 81.15 per bushel on a controlled market.

That same day he went to Montreal and saw potatoes sell- in for 31.00 on an open market.

L T. Benton President or Potato Ass'n

Mr. L. '1'. T ' . Donal-law. was elected President of the Prince lid- Ward Island Potato Growers As- sociation last night following the annual meeting of the Association. He succeeds the late Horace Wright.

Mr. Jack Annear. Montague was elected vice-president. I've-elected secretary was Mir. E. D. Reid. As- sociation Manager.

Mr. Boston was re-elected dir- ector for Queens County and Mr. Annear for Kings: New director of Prince is Mr. Colin Waugh of wil- mot.

Guest speakers at the evening session were Messrs. W.R. Shaw, Deputy Minister of Agriculture. who reported on the work of the Potato Promotion Committee; I-I.L. Mac- Laren. on Seed Inspection work: W.P. Maclieod. on Table Inspec- tion Work; H. B. Macbeod. head of the seed Potato Inspection for Brit- ish Columbia; and Jamu MacIn- tyre. Agricultural Rep. sentative of the C. N. R. at Moncton.

The membern of the Association forwarded their sympathy to the family of the late I-Iorace wright and expressed their sincere sense of his loss.

The members recommended to the Statistical Branch at Ottawa that greater care should be taken in estimating crbps as over estima- tion was working to the detriment of the farmer.

Appreciation was expressed to the Canadian National Railways for their service in placing reefer cars during the present shipping season and to Mr. 5.0. Peppln, retired District Inspector of Beed Potato Certification for his work in the Province.

The meeting also decided to try and limit the responsibility of in- dividual members to 020 if it can be done legally. The membership fee was placed at 31.00 on a volun- tary basis on joining.

The financial statement, read by Mr. Reid. showed that the Associa- tion had an operating profit of sl'1,79d.'l0. The revenue was 305,- '102.2e and the expenditures 817,- 905.56.

Mr. 5. G. Peppln was guest speak- er at the afternoon meeting. He believed that there were markets in the southern U. 5. A. for seed pota-

toes and thought the Province should have a salesman in that area.

party than that these ministers of the Crown should come and talk to us of the national federation of Liberal women.

Unique Experience

"For me. and I am sure for the other women delegates frcm the 10 Provinces. it was a unique ex- perience to hear these talks from members of the cabinet."

Mrs. Inman was confident that Canadian women will play a role of increasing importance in pub- lic life. They had long proved their ability, particularly in deal- ing with matters affecting fam- ilies. such as health, welfare and education. Nor. she said. were they confined to purely domestic problems. "If you had heard our discussions." she said. "you would realize that women have a close and keen interest in and under- standing of finance. And we do not hesitate to place our views before the highest authorities.

"1: don't think it is much of an exaggeration to say that today women hold the purse-strings in nine out of ten families. They do the buying and know the value of money. It is not too far a step from home financing to the prob- lems of finance that confront our municipalities. provinces, and the Federal Government."

Vacancy in Queen's

Askcd in comment on the vac- ancy in Queen's County occasion- ed through the death of J. Lester Douglas last autumn. Mrs. Inman of Montague said that at the present time. the Lib- eral party was more greatly concerned with the grave in- ternational situation than in individual bye-elections. It was not for her. Mrs. lnman said. to discuss local political issues in Queen's. but she felt that the electorate in general was not pressing for it. bye-election under winter conditions.

"We have 100 percent confidence in the Liberal members from

in the two markets which are near one another?" he asked. There are several factors but none that should make 75 cents difference.

Mr. Holman stated that last year as a grower he had lost several thousand dollars on pota- toes. He 'sald he was a mixed farmer but advised the srowers not to grow any more than he could siorc.

Mr. Roland MacDonald. Sou!h- port. stated that the reason the marketing hoard did not work in Ontario was that the other sec- tions had over Piioduced. He said the old saying '"Do unto others as you would have them do unto

you" had now been changed around to "Do the other fellow before he can do you."

Col. Elliot Full stated that we have four main varieties of pets- toes on the Island which are in demand at different times and different quantities. "Regarding seed and table stock mechanics in the quota system it would mean setting up quota systems for each variety," he stated. '

"The man at the other end will tell you what he wants and when. If he experiences any diffi- culty he will buy somewhere else. We must be able and proper- ed to give the customer the quality and quantity he wants.

Mr. Holman concluded the dis- cussion by asking that growers and dealers alike work an the

problem together and "we will arrive at. the proper solution." .

Reviews Work Of Potato Marketing Bd.

MacDonald. Chair-

Mr. D. A. man of the Potato Marketing

Board last night at the Potato Growers meeting stated that he hoped the present prices of pota- toes weuld be retained and per- haps improved in an address dur- lng which be reviewed the part the Board hld played in stabiliz- ing the industry and lashed out at those 'Who have seen fit to try to undermine the ability of the board members!

Mr. MacDonald stated that about ten days ago several statements had been made which were un- warranted and irresponsible. "I say this in the presence of those who made those statements. I have always found the farmers in- telligent and on an issue likethis they have more often been right than wrong. When you try'to tell them that they and the world are wrong you are adopting a very hard policy.” he warned. '

"We feel that in a. period of sur- plus aupply the business goes to the dealer who quotes the lowest price. The farmers feel that the only way to correct this is by making use of the minimum price powers.
