Consider Island Spuds 0f Highest Quality In North America

Says Pauly ls “Suhverting” Labor Interests

B, JOHN beBLANC UITAWA. Mllrch l4 -- (OP) _ Slim. tough J.A. (Pat) Sullivan. founder and boss of the Canadian Seaman's Union for a dozen years. announced tonight he had stepped out of the presidency of that Union and out of the Communist Party because of the party‘; "subverting" of labors interests.

The Belfast-born Labor leader. who spoilt two "wartime years in a Canadian internment camp for his connection with the Communist Party. said he would cocrtirlue as full-time secretary-treasurer of tha Tradfs and Labor Congress of Oan- acr.

Admitting he llad been a manber of the Communist Party for 10 year; up until three month; ago, Mr. Sullivan said in a statement his decision had been reached "when I became convinced that the in- terests of organized labor are be- lng subverted by the agents of Communism to their own ends."

Bill Begins Rough Passage In Commons

i;

The decision of the British Gov- ernment to purchase 30.000 tons of potatoes in Prince Edward Island was made because English agricul- ouni oftlclals believed those pota- toes were the highest quality ob- tainable in North America, Dr. G. Graham Samuel, British plant pathologist. told a Guardian- rep- resentative last night.

Dr. Samuel. who is in charge o2 the laricultural laboratory at Her- penden. Hertfcrdaltixc. Bicland. u- rived in New Yon: on the Queen Elizabeth. Mamchm. With him as representatives of the British Min- istry of Fbod were Messrs. Tunne- cliffe and Syvret. The three offic- ials went directly to Ottawa where they held conferences with the of- ficials of the Federal Department of Agriculture.

Afraid of Ring Rot

MONTREAL. March 14-(CP)—- With the ceiling price lifted, Que- bee’: producers of maple syrup were reported today asking, and getting, between $5 and $6 a gal- lon carl—as much as ‘l0 per cent above last year's ceiling of $3.15 plus 25 cents for the till. Heavier costs of production were blamed.

Even at the sky-rocketing prices the question arosa whether the domestic buyer could get hl-s sup- plies Without difficulty. Reports said some of the big industltal firms are already in the field pay- ing prices asked.

Maple syrup has been of! the food ration list for a month and although there now l: no ceiling, maple products will remain under export permit control.

National w.l. Meeting‘ At Halifax In June

HALIFAX. March l4 — (OP)- The national biennial meeting of the Federated Women's fnltitubu of Canada. to be held llere June 0-13. has been timed to coincide with llhe 50th anniversary of the founding of the first institute at Stcney Creek. Ont. Mrs. Elton Smth. president of the Nova Scotia organization, said tonight.

. l4-(AP)—The first week of the foreign ministers‘ conference almost over, its record of accomplishments appears to stand close to zero.

Thus far the meeting appears to have been more a sounding board for propaganda than a policy- making attempt to write the peace treaties for Germany and Austria.

MOSCOW. l,

Before any principle can be pro- posed here-let alone discussed- tlle western powers generally hear a long exlposltion from Foreign Minister Molotov.

To these Foreign Secretary Bevin usually replies at. length.

The ministers heal‘ arguments on demllitarizutlom de- lmziflcatlon and democratization which have been publicized for months by the controlled press in Moscow and the Soviet zone of Germany, in the, allied co-ordnat- ing committee in’ Berlin, in the Allied Control Council and then usually in the four maiol- capitals.

Moreover. the charges have not changed in six months. and neither have the denials. Often, rloi even the wolclng is changed.

What the foreign ministers diu’ today: '

Received from Secretary Marshall an American definition of democ- racy emphasizing the right to frec- dom of expression.

Heard Foreign Minister Molotov comment tll-zt. in the Russian view. freedom of speech and press did not include freedom to propogate doctrines of aGSIcsslon and Nazism.
