Pgato Shipments To U. S., Cuba Co’ Palestine

. lflre WEEK l at so. u.

s '

Carrying a cargo of over 86,000 bushels of seed potatoes, the steamer "Marjory" left port‘ yes- terday for Savannah, Georgia. Last night, the "Canadian I-Ilgh- lander" arrived and will take on another large cargo of seed pota- toes for the Southern States.

The “Highlanderfi a potato dealer said last night, would be the last of the larger freighters to load potatoes at Charlottetown this season owfng to the imminent freezing-up of the harbour. Ha said another large steamer would soon arrive at an Island port, either Georgetown or Soul-is, and load seed potatoes for Cuba. The latter steamer would-definitely be the last to carry any large cargo of potatoes away from the Prov- ince this fail.

In the meantime, figures are unavailable as to the-exact quan- tities of table stock and seed po- tatoes which have been exporttll from the Province this season by water but the quantities have been large and the shipments have had an easing effect on the problem of transportation by rall_ a problem which was intensified by the ser- ious shortage of refrigerator cars.

The corridors of Memorial and ilalion are deserted this evening; I101 a creature is stirring, not even a mouse. Yes. the Christmas holi- days have arrived and most of the students have already departed.

The pace of the past two weeks has been torriflc: I didn't even have time to follow up the NJ-LL. games. The Leafs are still in first place, aren't they? I BATH afraid that Muliin’: Red Win85 0r Led- well’: Canadiens may have caught up with them; the Wings especial- ly. were getting close.

There were no post-morteims on the last exmm this morning: as soon as the last sentence had been Mitten, everyone began thinking of holidays and home, amd the last hour of the forenoon was spent in packing and wishing one another s pleasant holiday. They paused long enough, however. to pick up their exam papers before leaving. l

The Reheral departure began lim- mediately after dinnerand by two oclock there were only s dozen left mostly Seniors. The Seniors are never in a hiuffy about any- thing. even holidays; that is traditional of seniors.

Well folks. there hasn't been any- thing of interest since'we last call- ed your way: all of the students

To Middle East

However, s combination of rail and water transportation has made possible a comparatively small shipment of 13,000 bushels of seed Kutahdins to the Middle East. The significance of this ship-

But after the next term gets under way. there should not be anv lack

2i Affected By Seasonal Lay-off At Packing Plant

The laying off today of eighteen men and three women at the Gov- emment-operated Canada Packers plant is a seasonal practice and their unemployment will only be of ix-mporary duration, Hon. Horace Wright, controller of the plant, in- formed the Guardian last nigiht.

Mr. Wright said he had been in- formed by the ‘superintendent of the plant that the temporary lay- oif usually occurs earlier in the season. This year the inability of the plant to operate at full capacity for a short period had resulted in s disruption of the normal slamht-

erlng at the plant, so that the "slack" period at the plant was thus delayed several weeks. As

Mn as nonmsl slsughirrlng re- sumes the men and women laid off will be given the first opportunity to return. Mr. Wright said.

ment lies not in its magnitude but in the fact that it is the first‘ shipment of its kind ever to leave any Province in Canada for Pales- tine. The shipment leaves for Palestine via Halifax.

There has been a brisk traffic since last September in the ship- ment by water of table stock to Newfoundland. The "Island Con-

' hector". in three trips since Sept. ii

took 2,000 75-pound bags of tabla stock to St. John's; the "Mayfall" carried 3.260 bags in three trips, and the “Mayhavem took 1.204 bags in her one trip. All three vessels had additions; cargo. Then there was the "Carroll", the "Ariel", the "Mabel Dorothy," and the "Alctena", all carrying mixed car- goes, a substantial portion 1! which was table stock potatoes.-

ln addition, the smaller ports have been abnormally busy with smaller craft plying back ard forth to Newfoundland. None of those little freighters carried a big cargo but they made frequent trips and their contribution to- ward the maintenance of profit- ahle business relations with the neighboring Island has been large.

Between 20 and 30 small freight- ers have carried Island produce. inclrling potatoes, to Newfound- land and many vessels of a sim- ilar type have plied all summer and fall between the Island ports of Victoria, Murray Harbour. car- digan and Sourls to Newfound- land and to sydney. N- 8-

I duced."

The same applied to Latin-Ani- erican countries.

Off-shore purchases were da- flned as purchases in other coun- tries of the hemisphere.

The President told Ovnsrell emphatically that the aid-to-Eur- ope program does not mean the United States is losing interest in economic co-operation with the other American countries.

"We are first of all a. member of an American community of na- tions, in which co-operative ac- tion, similar to that ‘which the European nations are now under- taking. ls required to increase pro- duction, to promote financial sta- bility and to remove barriers to trade

“The European recovery program will require procurement of sup- plies in many nations of this hem- isphere."

In asking broad powers i0 HD9114 United‘ Sbistes funds in foreign countries. ‘Truman said that other- wise unnecessary scarcitles and pressures on the Améficln 0600' omv would result.

The President also forwarded to Congress a Iii-page document- prcpared by interested government departments and agencies and de- tailing operations of the Marshall

an. pIn it, the administration dis- closed that the United States plans to decrease its grain shipments to Europe because it does not figure on bumper crops 1n the future.

The report also showed the Ilnlte-i states would spend 3!,- 615 0110.000, mostly in Canada and Latin America. during the 15 months period ending Juro 30. I049. for foodstuffs and other items.

Estimated expenditures for sim- ilar goods for the remainder of the 4 1-4-year program run from $1.- 'l30.00il.000 t0 01353000900 dur- ing the fiscal year of 1960 end- Ing June 80. 1960; from 81.404000 000 to 31.830.000.000 in fiscal i951 and from $l.039.00'l-0f") to 91.61!- 000-000 in fiscal i952.

These estimated expenditures In other hemisphere countries total from 38.788.000.000 to 88.001.000.000. The lower figure is based on ss- timates that prices will decrease gradually to 17.5 per cent less than Juiv l levels by 19M in Latin Am- erica and Canada. The higher sum assumes prices in these countries will remain at their current levels of five per cent higher than July 1 levels.

The money would be spent for bread and coarse grains, fats and oils, oilcake and mQl. sugar. meat. dairy products. eggs, dried fruits, rice. coffee, other foods. tobacco. cotton. nitroflen, agricultural sna- chinery, timber, some iron and steel products, trucks’ and timber equipment. '

The administration did not. spe- cify where these goods were to be bought nor. did it differentiate be- tween Cnnada and Latin America throughout its whole report.

However. it'was obvious that Canada would share with Latin American countries in supplying the items listed. with the excep- tion of agricultural and industrial equipment.
