Sees Prospects 0f Trade With Labrador

The development of the natural resources 0f Labrador within the next few year's, referred to 1n a Guardian news item yesterday has been commented upon by Pre- mier Jones. The Premier ssld that Prince Edward Island trade with Labrador and the west coast of Newfoundland could easily be dc- veioped by both planes and vessel to a considerable extent within mo. next ten years.

If Newfoundland should join Canada, the Premier said, a week- ly and bi-weekly ferry to Corner Brook should be established. if Harmon Field, the United States air base in Newfoundland, could be opened to commercial planes, trade by sir with the west coast. would Immediately develop. The carrying of mail and express would also be undertaken. Trade

"Pork and cheese have received practically a 20 per cent boost which offsets the increased price of feeds and gives the farmers the "go ahead" signal. It is a matter of re- gret that a few faint-hearted fawn- ors saw fit in kill off their young pigs last fall. "The opening up of trade with the United States under the terms of the recent Geneva Agreement is another factor which, taken in con- junction with the new prices for Canadian meat, cheese, and eggs on the British market, should mean a prosperous 1948 for Island far-an- em...

He said the shortage had bell acute during November and the first half of last month and that the large shipments by water from Charlottetown to the Southern States had given the railway a much appreciated breathing spell. In the menniimeflhowever, large shipments oi food stuffs to Eur- ope had been rolling down from Central Canada to the ports of Saint John and Halifax and as soon as the refrigerators had been unloaded they had been "ear- marked" jor “the Island",

The potato-harvesting season of i947 was two weeks later getting under way than the 1946 season and during those tW0_WB6kS the Railway had a considerable num- her of box and refrigerator cars available tvhlch could not be util- ized for potato shipments because of the two-weeks delay. 0n top of that fact was the more serious one, later on in the season, when United States lines were holding on to Canadian freight cars.

Increased Turnip Shiprnen“

Despite those handicaps, 3.312 cars of last season's potatoes had left the Province up to December (i1 which was only 500 cars less than for the corresponding period of i946. On the other hand. he said, 606 cars of last season's crop or turnips had been shipped iilp to December 3i as compared to only 482 cars for the same period in 194.6. There was. therefore, only an overall shortage of 3'16 cars. a shortage which was made up many times over by the water shipments.

The spokesman said the Guard- ian's analysis of the. Island Div- islon‘: November ferrying from Tor-rnentine to Borden and vice versa had created much interest among business men in the Div- lsion‘: activities and that several business men had expressed sur- prlse at learning that the Division had exported l50-cars of sand and gravel from Prince county to Tor- mentlne for use in building the piers there. In Prince County, near Alberton, there was a quality of sand and gravel which was the equal of most of the material which the Island Division had formerly imported from the mainland. Not only had the Division ferried 150 cars o1’ sand and gravel to Tor- mentlne but it had also carried and unloaded s similar quantity for use a-t Borden.
