Sections of the brief prepared by Mr. Callaghan and Mr. Mac- Donald were considered. and with minor amendments approv- ed for presentation before the Tariff Board at Ottawa on June lath. The presentation will be made by Mr. Callaghan. support- ed by Messrs. MacDonald. Camp- bell and Dewar.

The brief will point out the ef- fect that Maine potatoes have had on the Canadian market in the past three years. It was the opinion of the committee. that Canadian potato producers should receive the same consider duo on the question of tariffs as United States producers receive from their Government.

This brief is representative of Prince Edward Island view. Other briefs will be presented. notably that of the Canadian Horticultural Council, which will present the views of the whole of Canada.

Since 1938 the Canadian tariff structure with regard to potatoes has been based on Canada-Univ ed States Trade Agreement and under these conditions can only be changed by arrangement with the United States and by the Par- liament of Canada. Therefore it is not expected that any changes can be effected until the Budget

rcleascd four imprisoned American oiriucn in an effort to relax ten- sions in the Far East.

But the president told a press conference the situation needs to be watched carefully. He caution- ed against what he termed any hit or miss conclusions with re- spect' to the intentions of Red China.

Asked about the prospects for release of other Americans hold by the Chinese Communists, Ein- enhower replied he had nothing on that at this time.

Eisenhower dealt with thesc

other topics: Air power - Eisenhower left open the question of whether it

will be necessary to increase air power budget allotments as a re- sult of Russia's display of new long range jet bombers. He com- mented that the number of such plans displayed by the Soviets has been greater than was an- ticlpated.
