a price of more than t7.500.0oo. Elimination of the U.K. market will leave cheese producers with gloomy export prospects and pro- bably may result either in curtail- ment of production or lowering of prices to attract greater trade in the domestic market. The Ontario tobacco industry. already facing a domestic market trimmed by last year's jump in cigaret prices. has been informed that Britain plans to reduce flue- eured tobacco purchases by 75 per cent in 1952-to 0,500,000 pounds from 35,000,000 pounds last year. The dollar value may be cut to about 54,500,000 from about s1il.000.

These items are considered "marginal" by U.K. officials, but. the bulk of Canada's exports to Britain--wheat, metals. pulpwood and newsprint-will not be reduc- ed.

seek Lower Clgsret Tax

The Ontario tobacco industry will confer with hinance Minister Abbott Monday next and appeal to him to reduce federal cigaret taxes to the point where a package of 20 can be sold to the consumer for 30 cents. Currently. he pays 142 in most provinces except in Quebec and Prince Edward Island where it is 46. -

sued at Bimcoe, Ont.. said this difference between the Canadian and American price has contribut- ed to a."smuggiing scandal” and will place the "fuli facts" of this scandal before Mr. Abbott next week.

The Ontario Flue-Cured Tobac- co Marketing Association said the latest R,.C.M.P. for seis- ures of cigarets smuggled into Canada are .l5.000.000 in the last low months.

Icebreaker Turned Back By Ice In River

QUEBEC. Feb. 13 --(CP) --The Canadian Government icebreaker Lady Grey. which sailed down- stream early today with livestock and provisions for the almost iso- lated lie-aux-Clrues (Crane Is- land) on the st. Lawrence. 35 miles from Quebec. was forced to turn back owing to ice conditions. Transport Department officials said efforts to get. through the ice near the island were fruitless. only way residents of lle-aux- Grues can reach the mainland is by rowboat to Montmagny. bi this is considered hazardous be- cause of ice floes moving with the tides.

Faced with wind and snow that reduced visibility and difficult ice conditions, the icebreaker N. B.

Since she started her onslaught against the ice about a week ago.

Mancituria is the rich, vast land beyond the Great Wall in North- east China. It was fought over by the Russians. Chinese and Japan- ese for more than half a century.
