British Cov’t is Faced With Problem

By FRASER WIGHTON

iL/ONDON, Aug. 2'1 —- (Reu- ters) - Recent meetings of cabinet ministers and service

chiefs reflect the British govern- ment's problem of trying to rec- oncile demobilization of the arm- ed forces with the continued in- ternatlonal tension.

The problem is urgent because hy the end nf IIIlP year. when navy, army and air force will have been further depicted by de- mobilization, reinforcement of the services will he confined to men 1B years cld compiilsorily recruit- ed for one year only under the new National Service Act.

It. ls certain that it there were any deterioration in especially the Berlin situation the govern- ment, already agreed on the prin- ciple, would lialt the rate of de- mobilization.

Tlia present. raie of discharge, it. is understood, will continue only if there is easing of tension after the Moscow talks and if the Malayan and other Far Eastern orises do not. get. worse.

It. had boon intended all who were in the forces in 1946 other than those on regular engage- ments, should be released on on age and lgnrzth of service bsais by the cnd of the year.

F‘or the last quarter of i948, re- lease estimates wore _- Royiail Navy 5,030, Army GINO and RA.- F. 201160 with approximately an additional 5.0M from the iwcm- en's services.

Total demobilization for these three months civoiild therefore amount to 100.000.

From Jan. l, when the new act ccmes into force, the services will ccm-prlse the regular navy. army and air force, the 110w 18-year- old conscripts under training, and recruits nbtaincri under a volun- teer scheme.

R.M.C. Students Simply Cadets From Now 0n

KINGSTON. Ont, A118, 27 ... (CP) — The Royal Military College isn't soing to call them "condo. men Cadet-s" anymore. Pram now on starting with the first post-war class in s. month's time they're simply “cadets?

Removal of the adjective from the title for its students is one step in the changeover that will make the 72-year-old college the training ground for future officers of sll three services. It formerly was entirely army although many of its graduates did go into the other two services,

The wueldv 100 cadets who re- pozt Sept. 9 have been chosen on s basis of qualifying examinations and senior matriculation results. About. four applied for every one who could be accommodated They will earn their own fees by serving with units in the field o.- st sea at active forces rates of pay in the summer.

The old Point Frederick build- 11185. some of which have a history diationg back to \he war of 1812, will be used, but the essentially’ modern college receiving the “class of '52" will be vastly different from that. I0 which the "original 18" re- ported in 1876. 0f these 18, the only survivor is the former R. C. M. P. Commissioner. A. B_ Pe:ry of Ottawa. whose name is associated with early accounts of opening up the West.

On entering. the cadets will be measured for tailored uniforms somewhat similar to the R. M. C. pro-war type except that the "pill box" hst ‘will be replaced by the wedge esp. Belt and buttons will be changed to incorporate the new (xi-service wspect. I-‘iannels and blazers will be issued for recreat- ional dress. sports kit. foi- athletics and fatigue clothes for rough work

effect and is spreading both east and west. The weather of the past two weeks with its hot, mug- gy days and its damrp, foggy nights has made the blight more difficult. to control. The bright side orf the picture is that there are still a large number of fields

where the blight has not yet made its appearance. Should the blight infection

beccme general. the later varie- ties of potatoes will sutlfer the most. Mr. Shaw said the next two weeks would largely deter- mine how severely the crop will suffer, Should dry, clesr weather prevail during that time and should the sprayers be kept busy, the losses from blight ought. to be kept to s. minimum.

General Inspection

Mr. Shaw said arrangements are now being msds to csrry on a general inspection of sll table stock in the Province. Extra in- spectors will be engaged to assist the staff ovf ths_1='ruit and Veget- able Division, Both Dominion and Provincial Departments of Agriculture expect s more diffic- ult task this year because of probable sttscks of blight rot and also because of the larger potato acreage which, including seed and table stock, is well over 50,000 acres.

A somewhat depressing sight witnessed on his tour, Mr. Shaw said, was dozens of fields of heavy clover which the owners sppsr- ently are not attempting to save for winter feed, probably because of the great scarcity of farm lsb- our. 1-Ie estimated that approx- imately 1,000 additional labourers would be required to take care of the grain and potato crops,

Welcomo news to farmers, Mr. Shaw ssid, would be the recent decision of the Fertilizer council at its meeting in Halifax to rec- ommend the sale of high test fertilizers carrying very little ex- traneous material in the form of filler. The elimination of such material he said, would be wel- come tn the farmer because of the high freight rates. Such elim- Ination of filler would also mean lesser labour costs in handling the fertilizer.

official in the State Department and now bead of the Carnegie Endowment for international peace says Chambers lied.

After the News-Post published the story, Chambers was ques- tioned by Representative Richard Nixon (Rep. Calif) snd by Robert. E. Striipling, the committee's chief investigator.

Stripllng quoted Chambers as saying that Hiss drove him out to the fsrm—the old- "Shir-key placs"—in 1936;, that I-liss msde s. down payment on the fsri-n but did not buy it; snd tihst. about s yssr later he (Chambers) purch- ssed it.

BUSINESS ANALYST

(Continued from Pug! l.)

20 planelosds of strawberries go- ing to Boston, pasteurized milk twice a week to the United States Hannah Field in Newfoundland, regard them as starters. and be sure that Island products are go- ing farther than that by sir bo- fore you are much older.

The Island is known u s 1.- 000,000-acrs “farm", and every- thing it has been called upon tb prcdlce it has produced in su- perlative degree-one wonders whether it shouldn't be s. 1.000.000- acrs "garden" with some of the intensive cultivation seen on the Pacific Coast.

Time was not so long ago. and still is to a diminishing degree. when nearly every farm operateu mainly for the purpose of raising enough food for the family that tilled it, and enough more to pro- vide s minimum of ready cash. It was s prosperous sort of subsis- tence farming.

Mixed crops IN. of course, '0- tained. and probably slwsys will be, but in late years there has been s swing to specialization. principally in pot-elm. dairy cattle. swine. and oven, to some extent, in beef cattle.

That is the reason you find 1s- land seed potatoes going to the Southern States and South An.- erics; dairy stock to New Eng- land and into Ontario and Wast- ern Canada; swine u far sway as Iowa. They are logical succes- sors in excellence to the tradition ally-famed “spud“, oyster. lobster and fox.

Qn pggt there

performance

seems no reason why more: o! ‘

Island products shouldn't become famous on the tables of the con- tinent to the extent that her 2.- 000 square miles can produce them. The Island is not just min- ing her soil. she now is import- ing $4,000,000 worth of fertilizer yearly to maintain its fertility.

Facilities Must. Be neveiored

Though her products go far. Premier Jones and mlny (iii-HHS see Novs Scotls and Newfound- land. both heavy food importers! as their big ready markets. But. they feel very definitely that transportation faculties, both 0y sir and sea. must be developsd to provide improved access to Hui- fax and central and eastern Nov. Scotia.

As Premier Jones sees it. Nova Scotia and Newfoundland should develop industrially. and Prince Edward Island should feed them. He beiievu the three present Maritime Provinces and New- foundland should work together in some k1nd.of economic unnn to bring about the most efficient. use of their joint and varied rc- sources.

Agriculture is not the whole Island story. Efforts are being made to stabilize her fisheries and send them into deeper waters of the Gulf. And with sn indented coastline which adds up to thous- ands of miles, with tremendous stretches of magnificent salt- water beaches, and a beneflcent summer climate. her tourist nus- sibilities. growing yearly, are in a sense as fantastic as those of agriculture.
