Reports had got around that senator Russell. the darling oi Dixie, would pull out.

But Russell said the reports "are completely ialse." were evidently circulated by his opponents, and added he hoped nobody would be fooled by "this oldest oi all politie- al tricks."

Barkley said that he hauled down his colors because A. P. L. and C.T.O. leaders he thought were friendly had rejected him and po- litical leaders on whom he had leaned for support had deserted.

Senator Keiauver told a reporter he is sticking to the finish. Mutual Security Director Harriman pro- claimed that "I am in this fight to win." ttlthough the support of his own New York delegation was crumbling and members threaten- ed to desert to Stevenson.

Senator Kerr, strictly on outsid- er and admittin it. clung to hopes of some sort oi deadlock that might compel the party to turn to him.

"Various complaints have come in concerning the use of light weight jute bags in export ship- ments by water. as 7V, oz. Jute is not strong cnoulzh to deliver ti package in good order. It has there- fore been agreed among the larger exporters of potatoes that this year they will not purchase any potatoes for expert by water in 100 pound bags. unless the jute is of the heavy 10 oz. strength. This is done that we here may put olir better product. well packaged on the market. The spread between the light and the heavy jute is now a matter of it: a bag, and it is well worth it to protect our industry.

Primary Interest

"In spite of the propaganda that

has been spread. the potato deal- ers of this Province are primarily interested in obtaining for the po- tato crop the highest price the market will pay: and it is recog- nized that the market is not con- trolled, nor can it be controlled by Prince Edward Island. hilt is some- thing that is continent-wide: and no matter what we would like to do, we are entirely limited to what we can get for potatoes by whit the buyer is willing to pay us - and if we price, ourselves out of line with other areas. he can at ways buy elsewhere.

Your Association. both as it whole and by its executive, are quite willing at all times to cooper- ate with any agency that is work- ing on a sound basis for the ad- vancement of the potato industry on Prince Edward Island."

"When my father died. the title passed down to my brother Wal- lace who died about three years ago. Now I'm the chief. mon. There's no doubt about it."

when Robert heard of the rift several days ago, he said:

"it is too bad there are a few people in Cape Breton and Prince Edward Island. the only ones in the world as far as I know, who do not recognize me as of that ilk as chief oi the whole name oi Mac- Neil."

Cable To Edinburgh

Rev. A. W. R. Macxenzie, Gaelic college director in charge of the Mod, has cabled Sir Thomas Lear- ney. Lord Lyon king of arms in Edinburgh for confirmation that Robert is chief.

The dispute itself stems from a complicated geealoclczil setup. fur- ther complicated by the old Scot- tish law of ianisty. which permits a laird to transfer his title to one of his choosing.
