Sugar Futures Pushed Lower 0n N. Y. Market

NEW YORK, Oct. 4 -(AP) Peace possibilities abroad together with a. sluggish raw market and quieter demand for refined sugar. helped. to push sugar futures lower today.

iRussizfs New ‘Estonian Pact ils Ratified

TALLINN. Oct. ‘F-(AP) _—-The Russian-Estonian mutual assistance pact, which permits Russia to place 26.000 troops at. strategic oints in Estonia. was ratified here onight.

Letters of ratification were ex- changed at the foreign office at 11 p. m, just one hour before expira- ion of the six-day period for rati- fication agreed upon with the sign- of the pact in Moscow lest

day.

The Soviet minister, M. Liki . drove up to the foreign office with ,the papers to be exchanged after a ‘long delay which was reported due to a hitch 1n delivery of the papers from Moscow.

Observers said the pact was rati- fied as agreed upon in Moscow. (Reports had been heard in Riga. Latvia, that the delay was due to Russian demands for bases other than those provided for in the pact. and in last-minute disafloement on the number of troops to be quarter- ed tt the new bases.)

The pact permits 25.000 soviet "of! w www the Btonian North Datic Islands of Degoe and Oeeel and the mainland port of Beltiski, and rmits Russia m build a11- and nave bases at these 1111s,

The new bases wil allow Russia to control the Gulfs of Fin-land, Rig-a and Bothnla. | A trade agreement concluded with the mutual assistance pact provides for an increeee in trade i. the two countries and gives Russia the right to ship goods through Eh- tonian territory. Estonia similarly may ship across Russia to the Bladk Sea and to Mursmansk.

Seed Cobbler Yield Below Normal Crop

Yield per acre 0d Irish Cobbler seed potatoes in this Province was, from 50 to more than l5 bushels per acre below the normal Mr. S. G. Pe pin in charge of seed. pota ‘ pec on in the Province‘ said last nigh - .

Total yield acre was from 125 to 200 bushe this year. while a normal varied from 260 bush- els upwa . This year's crop con- tained a large number of small tubers. the inspector said.

Digging of oobblers was practic- ally compleje while Green Moun- tains were not yet ripe enough to dig in _man districts. Stalks had died but tu rs had not ripened. The was expected to yield more per acre than the oobblers.

Acreage under seed oobblers was up 2,500 acres over the previous year, Mr. Peppin said, while acre- age ol’ seed mountains was down 1500 acres.

Total acreage under seed cob-| blers this year was , acres, and under seed mountains 5.500‘

acres.

The Kaiahdln variety, more or less new to this Province, had been planted in 300 acres and Bliss Triumphs. another variety not very widely grown had been planted in 200 acres.

This Province had been rather slow going into growing the Katahdin variety. Mr. Peppin said. It is grown more widely in New Brunswick for export as seed to the Argentine republic. "I wish we. had been even slower going into Katahdins" Mr. Peppin declared. “I do not like the variety.“ he ad- i

ed.

The tam inspector believed it might l‘: only a question of time until Katahdins lost popularity in the South American republic.

When Foreign Minister Galeazzo Ciano returned Tuesday from a talk with Adolf Hitler in Berlin there was considerable speculation whether Mussolini would relay peace proposals from Hitler to Great Britain and France.

Italian press dispatches describ- ed Prime Minister Chamberlain's speech in the House of Commons yesterday as revealing a lemenlng of “British intransigeanoe."

Italy's policy seemed to be one‘. of waiting to see what the allied’ reaction would be to Hitler's Reichstag speech later this week.

ARMS EMBARRU UNDER DEBATE IN ll. S. SENATE

Senators Urge Im- pregnable Defence Of North Mwerican Continent.

(By C. n. BLACKBUIIN) (Cvanadiau Prue Stuff Writer)

THE CHAR -

day's debate the tas Senate indicated that the proposed lsgfilaltiiave chétnges to ban American p an passengers go- ~ing to belligerent countries would be adopted. Both sides of the neutrality

argument were heard in speeches by Senator Tom Connolly (Dem- Texas) and Senator Arthur Vand- en-berg (Rep-Mich), an aspirant for the 1940 Republican presidential nomination.

vision bill which would repeal the ban on arms sales to warring na- tions and require that all exports to such countries be carried in non_- | American ships, denounced the em- z bargo as an unnewtra aid to Ger- l many.

Vandenberg defended the em- bargo as an “indispensable symbol" o: non-involvement of the United States in the war between Ger- many and the Allies.

Unneutral Aid to Nazis

Connolly declared the embargo had the effect of arming an ag- ‘gressor to prepare him for war, gthen refusing similar aid to the victim of his attack. But Vanden- berg retorted the embargo legisla- tion was first enacted in 1986 and all nations had fair warning of United States intentions.

To repeal the embargo now. Vanderifberg said. would "oe to “Choose the rules in the middle of the game" and would have the effect of 11111110111113 the resources of certain belligerents. Such, he held. would be an unnatural act on the part of the United States.

Repeal of the embargo would make American war supplies available to all belligerenis but in Washington 1t has been freely admitted that the allies, with the aid of the Bri- tish navy. would be able to take advantage of such a move to the virétual exclusion of their oppon- en s.

However. Vandenberg gave virtual assurance to the Chamber that he and his associates in the opposi- tlon grou would supper: the re- vised neu rality bill insofar as it bans entry of United States ship- ping to war zones or to ports of belligerent nations.

No Beacon for Change

The senator from Michigan could see no reason why the arms em- bargo clause —"1he very keystone of United States neutrality." he called it—should be scrapped in ex- change for a cash and carry sys- tem whlch. he held. would ‘bring the war to our very front yards."

Further support of the shipping prohibition as a measure which should be adopted at once. came from Senator Charles W. Tobey (Rep-New Hampshire) who moved an amendment seeking to have this clause dealt with separately and quickly. fearing attack upon an American vessel might involve the United States in war even while debate ls proceeding.
