Rigid Impo Seen Spud

Doubt existed here yesterday that Prince Edward Island could take advantage of the potato shortage that now exists in Bri- tain due to the rigid import controls in effect in the United Kin; eee ete

the weekend. Premier walter R, Shove contacted Wat- son Jamer. Atlantic Province’s representative in London in re- gard to such a sale.

Premier Shaw noted that the Old Country is careful to protect its interests against the danger of disease and insects but ob- eerved that under the rigid con- trol exercised in this province in regard to marketing and the eareful supervision of federal and provincial government of- ficials, P.E.I. would have little trouble meeting the U.K.’s re- quirements. He said that a ship- ment from this province in 1947 proved to be satisfactory.

Yesterday R.L. Burge, P.E.1. Potato Marketing Board chair- man said he saw a 50-50 chance that the U.K. i controls

Dept. Seeks Ban Lifting

People in the department of trade and commerce are doing everything they can to get strict U.K. import control restrictions relaxed so our potatoes can be

shipped, said Agriculture Min- ister Andrew MacRae. Watson Jamer, at Atlantic

House, is working on the prob- lem, he explained.

WORKING FOR RELAXATION

Mr. Burge told this paper that his board has been in touch with the department of trade and commerce for three weeks now to explore the possibilities of getting the strict import con- trols relaxed.

Ira Lewis, York, who was the farmer member of the potato committee that arranged the 1947 shipment, suggested it’s too late now to get the red tape cleared up in time to allow for shipment of fresh potatoes. But he thought there’s still a good chance for a shipment of 500

sing, if the marketing possibil- | ity is pushed vigorously.

Mr. Lewis recalled that the province shipped 70,000 hundred- weigh in 1947, which mcr tks then to 3,500 carloads. But shipments were made early in| the year. The arrangements were completed by the latter | part of March, he said.
