Reduced Rates 0n Potatoes To Continue To ll. S.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 5—(OP)— The United States interstate oom- merce commission today authoris- cd railroads operating over indirect routes from Maine and New Bruns- wick to eastern destinations to con- flnue in effect reduced ratcs on motafcc-s and other vegetables.

Some time ago the I. C_ C. grant- ed the Bangor and Aroostock Rall- road, Canadian Pacific Railway, Boston and Maine Railroad and ear- ricrs participating in flhcir tariffs temporary authority to reduce the rates. This authority was made per- manent in today's order.

The reduced rates, the I. U. C. slid, are necessary to enable the roads to operate on a rate parity with competing direw routes. The direct routes previously had reduced sisal: rates to meet truck-water compe- tltlon.

The reduced rates on indirect routes apply on carload silipmenis to New York, Baltimore and other point-s in the eastern States and the District of Columbia. No reductions are provided for ncrl- competing in- termediate Points.

Growing Nazi Con- cern Over Develop- ments In Scandina- via Is Seen.

BERLIN, Jan_ 5-<AP>—fn lang- guage apparently reflecting growing oflflcial concem over developments in Scandinavia, German newspapers today warned Norway and Sweden against providing transit for Allied military aid to Finland.

The newspapers, which called on the two northern countries to "clar- ify their positions," simultaneously sharpened their drive against Ica- gue of Nations members who were referred to as "so-called neutrals" for BGPGeing to fulfill the League covenant by aiding Finland to re- pulse the Russian invasion.

The league, of which Germany ceased to be a member in 1935, is considered in official Nazi circles as a. British-French tool. Hence any country remaining a member ia held by file Nazis to be more or less on the Allied side.

The press attack, which bore an official tinge, acused the Allies of using the league covenant as a screen to involve Norway and Swed- on in war against Germany,

The Nazi v-lelwlpoint is that Allied aid to Finland could be transpon- cd only through the two Scandinav- ian countries. This. Berlin officials assert, can have but one moaning- a ‘British-French foothold there a- galnst Germany.

AUIivelT-Stanley ls War Secretary In New Line-up

Information fiIr-ristry Head Included In Re-organization In Big Political Sensation.

(By Guy Rhoades, (lanadian Press Stuff Writer)

LONDON, Jan. 5-(CI’ Cahle)-—l'rimc Minister CIIZIIYF, berlain tonight reorganized his Government, dropping Leslie I-Iore-Belisha, War Secretary, in the greatest poli- tical sensation since the war began.

Also resigning was Lord Maclllillzln, head 0f the much criticized Ministry of Information.

Mr. Hore-Belisha will be succeeded by Oliver Stanley, the tall and graying President of the Iioard of Trude, whose father, the Earl of Del-by, was War Sccrcizllgv in 191G. ,

Lord MacMillan steps out in favor of Sir John Reiih, chairman of British Overseas Airways and former direc- ior-gcneral of the British Broadcasting (lnrporafinn which he organized.

SIR ANDREW RAE DUNCAN

Mr. Sianley’s post will be filled by Sir Andrew Rae Duncan, lawyer and chairman of two Royal Commissions which inquired into the Nova Scolia coal industry in 1925 and 1932, and a third commission which looked into the economic position of the Maritime Provinces under Con- federation. in 1926.

Announcement of the changes was accompanied by publication of‘ correspondence between u... Prime Minister and the two ministers who resigned. It was disclosed Mr. Hore-Belisha leaves the Government because he would not accept transfer to a new post Mr. Chamberlain offered him. If. is understood that post was the Board of Trade

Lord MzlcMillan left his Chamberlaims request after f he felt the ministry should be House of Commons.

Sir John Reith is member of the House but a, seat can be found for him} from among the hundreds} at the Governments dis-i posal, something that could not be done for Lord Mac",- Millan because of his peer- age. A seat o1- a peerage will have to be provided for Sir Andrew Duncan.

It was Mr. Hore-Belishzfs resignation that caused the sensation. He was generally believed to be solidly en- trcnched in the post be had held since 1937. He went i0 it that year from the Min- istry of Transport which hc inherited in 193-1 from Mr. Stanley, a fellow hurrisicl‘ and the man who now rc- places him at the War Of- fice.

Lord MllcMillan’s depart- ment had been under fire since its inception almost overnight at the hCi!'l"":""' of the war and his resig- nation brought no great concern to the man in the street.

What astounded the or- dinary citizen was that Mr. Stanley, holder of a com- paratively junior portfolio since 1937 should rocket so abruptly into a job which the public felt was being well done.

Mr. Hore-Bclisa from the time he introduced the famous oran - cred globes (now ed ishs beacons) to mark pedestrian rights of way, was Britain's most photo- Eaphed cabinet minister until the lm-lch crisis centred attention on Mr. Chamberlain himself. l-lis ah the army high command. reduction in the retire- limit, isnprovement in the dlnary soldier and the m n of the land forces kept him constantly in the public eye.
