Reforestation 0f P. E. Island Areas llnder iscussloii-
The Forest Committee of the ‘Maritime section. Canadian Society of Forestry Engineers, expressed the opinion Saturday that addit- ional areas in Prince Edward Isi- land could be re-forested in order to prevent erosion and to main-
tain iin adequate soil water table. This opinion. the committee said. was also held by local authorities who were concerned with the rapid depletion of the Island's remaining forests.
The Committee was impressed. the report stated, with the beauty of the Province and with its vig- orous tree growth. Nowhere. the report said. was there greater in- terest in the development of wood- lots than in Prince Edward Island.

‘WOODEYORD. Essex. England. July 1.1 (C?) Churchill suggested Saturday that the Kremlin is wrestling with a severe Russian political crisis.
The denunciation of Yugoslavia at a time when the Berlin crisis was at its height indicated this, the wartime prime minister told a Conservative Party rally in his home constituency. At the some time he cautioned that the West- om Allies can yield on the Berlin issue only at the risk of a third world war.
‘mulling the Communist in- formation bureau's denim ' “ of Marshal 'l‘ito of Yugoslavia. Churchill said of Russia's rulgrs:
“Their prime interest is to pro- serve their personai power over the hundreds of millions of people of many different noes whom they rule with a rod of iron.
"We cannot tell what internal stresses are at work in this grim oligarchy. It would seem to me that they must be very severe at the present time and that one part of the ictatorship is working sep- arately or eve-n contrary to the other.
Churchill called the present period of waiting for a Russian reply to western protest notes on.

Fishery Research Work
Off Alberton
_-..__
‘The "J. J‘. Cowle". s. fishing boat owned by the Fisheries Research of Canada. is expected to arrive in Al-herton today or tomorrow to carry on fishery experiments.
The "Cowie" is modelled and equipped in the style of the Danish seiner: which are said to make successful catches of codfish with- out the use of trolls.
Alberton fishermen. like all other cod fishermen in the Province, have never, with a few exceptions. used any other methods for cod fishing than hand-lineing and the use of trolls. The trolling is done by the use of permanent sets. that is. after trawls are set and baited. they are left in the water and pulled once a day,
Some fishermen. after pulling and re-baiting. "underrun" the trawls once or even twice before returning to port. but many fisher- men. especially those in the fig- nish area. maintain that "under- running", or pulling the trawis the second time. does not pay. Their theory is that once the trawl is brought to the surface and the bait‘ is exposed even briefly to the sun. that the codifish will not take it.
Other Methods
Other methods have been tried off Tignish and Alberton for the catching of cod and, while more or less successful. never became

Russian Move In. Berlin
By ALEX II. SINGLETON
LONDON. July lli -— (AP) — Russia may agree to the Western Powers‘ demand that the block- ade cf Berlin be lifted, but with stiff, perhaps unacceptable condi- tions attached.
That was the private opinion of‘ western diplomats as they weighed possible courses today which Russia could take in reply- ing to the sharp protests Britain, the United States and France made pizhlic Friday night.
Speculation in London was bas- ed on the premise that Russia Hoes not want a shootlns war, and that Soviet plans and provoca- iions are aimed at undermining westem influence without forcing a showdown.
It was regarded as possible that Russia thus may counter with an agreement to suspend at least umporarlly its hsri on road. rail

Qualified observers pointed out that Russia may get n flat refusal if she asks for a Big Four Foreign Ministers meeting. These observ- ers sald that while the western Powers ruled out the question of withdrawal from Berlin. they had these courses open:
1. Continue indefinitely their mass effort to supply Western Berlin by air.
2. Lay the question before the United Nations Security Council. Here, however. the Russians could use their veto.
3. Send in a military convoy of
supplies u. determine whether Russia would resort to force to stop delivery.
