Increase In Price

The Prince Edward Island Milk Producers’ and Vendors‘ Associa- tion will prepare a brief showing their increased costs of production and will ask the Provincial Milk Board for authority to grant them an increase of at least 15 cents per pound butter fat. which in- crease, if granted, will mean milk will cost the consumer two cents more per quart.

A committee comprising Andrew MacRae, Willard Prowse, and Smith MacFai-lane was appointed to prepare the brief.

The following figures were pro- duced at the meeting-held last night at Prince of Wales College and presided ~over by Mr. A. B. MacRae-to show the increased cost of dairy feeds within the last year. Dairy ration. Mr. MacRae said. has gone from $2.85 per 100 pounds to $3.35; bran from $1.50 to $2.60; shorts from 01.55 to $2.65: oiicake meal $2.50 to $5.00; fish- mBBl $4.25 to $7.25; crushed oats $2.25 to $3.40; and barley meal $2.00 No $3.30.

Dr. W. R. Carson, called upon to address the meeting, said he could sympathize with the milk produc- er who was confronted with such high costs but he asked the meet- ing to think carefully before ask- ing for a further increase in the price of milk. No city of compar- able , size in the Dominion paid its labour so small a wage as did the City of Charlottetown. Lab- ouring men raising families on from $20 to $25 per week simply could not pay any more than they were now paying for milk. Dr. Carson said any further’ increase

Many of them were far from being in a satisfactory con- dition. He did not think the new regulations would be suddenly en- forced but improvements would have to be made in many dairy farms.

NEW YORK. Oct. Top naval officers said today that the United states must maintain a powerful navy to defend Ameri- can foreign policy and American freedoms “whenever and wher- ever they are challenged."

Direct and indirect references in Russia and the encroachments of Communism marked the series of Navy Day addresses.

Speaking at New Orleans, Navy Secretary John L. Sullivan de- ciared that since VJ-Day the country's military naval and air strength has been pared down to “a shadow" of its wartime might and that demobilization has “put the major part of our fleet in ‘mothbails.’ "

Without mentioning Russia by name. Sullivan continued:

“There are forces loose in the world tocL" ‘Nhich are inimical to our government and to our wav of life. . . .

"We must count it s privilege to be among those wlho would be as bold in the pursuit of peace as we were daring in our recent months of battle for survival."

Bevin Presents Report OnADismantIing 682 Factories In Germany

, . . A Production; Meeting IIBIII Last Night.

LONDON, Oct. sign Secretary Bevin told the House of Commons tonight that the dismantling of 682 industrial plants in Western Germany will end the Anglo-American program of stripping factories from the oc- cupation. zones.

Bevin, speaking in a debate on Germany, said that the first charge on a revived German economy should be repayment of Allied funds spent for food and that any further reparations should come only out of increased production over the new level of industry set. in the Anglo-American zones.

In reply to complaints voiced against the dismantling of German industry, Bevin said:

"I am satisfied the proposal we have put forward in this plan is fair and can be carried out." The German people were entitled to know whether the dismantling of the 682 war potential factories for reparations was to be the end.

"So far as we are concerned, subject to the reservation that

some industries have to be decided upon. I say to the Germans, for the purposes of their own economy, this is the end."

John Hynd, former Minister re- sponsible for the British zone of Germany replaced by Lord Paken- ham in the recent Government re- shuffle. said that prospects of con- cluding a German peace treaty at the November meeting in London of the Big Four Foreign Ministers “are weak if they exist at all."

Hynd said Britain has made immense efforts in Germany but succeeded only in maintaining g "very low standard of living."

He called for an immediate G e r m a n currency conversion said.

were not producing or selling the goods involved.

The preferences system as now operated has been approved by the countries which have been dis- cussing establishment of an inter- national Trade Organization. But any Increase in the advantages to the Ccmmonwealth coun tries through higher tariffs would run counter to tihe oblcctive of making the existing level of tariffs and preferences a ceiling. Once the I. T. 0. is established, the hope is that all future adiustme ts will be in the direction of lowering trade barriers.

Countries facing urgent economic difficulties, like the Unites‘: King- dom. might, however, be given per- mission to make individual tariff adjustments to avoid disaster. But any action involving a group of countries and tending to increase tariffs would be opposed.
