L. S. Mackersy told the annual meeting here that the general busi- naas outlook is good.

He said Canada's deweopment has been greater than that i the United States because Canada 'has given more cmphaaia to investment in productive capacity rather than investment in house building, a fact which has resulted in a faster rise in per capita output in Canada."

"The present high level of pros- perity offers the world a golden opportunity to cut tariffs and re- move exchange restrictions." Mr. Mcckeray said.

Seasonal Decline In Employment More Pronounced

O'I'f'AWA. (CP)--The Labor De- partment reported Wednesday that the seasonal decline in employ- ment in October was more pro- nounced than usual.

Seasonal Job opportunities dropped sharply as harvesting of the near-record wheat crop was complt-ted and as other industries became less active. This decline is normal in the fall.

The department estimated that the Canadian labor force at the end of October totalled 5.240.000. a decline of 74,000 as compared with the same date in 1062.

Applications for employment on file at national employment ser- vice offices Oct. 22, totalled mi,- 9000. an increase of 29.000 or about 18 per cent compared with the Sept. 1'! figure of 162.000. The Oct. 22 figure also showed an increase of 44,800 or 30 per cent over the Oct. 23, 1052. total.

Minister Defends Federal Policy Respecting Potatoes

OITAWA, Nov. Id - (Special)- A defence of the federal govern- ment's policy on potatoes and is. re- ply to J. Angus Macbean, Con- servative member for Queen's, who us; Monday deplored the rock bottom prices of potatoes now pre- vailing in Prince Edward Island. was given in the Commons today by Agriculture Minister Gardiner.

Fresh from the Dominion-Pro- vincial agricultural conference, held in the Parliament bulldin83 heft. Mr. Gardiner covered almost every aspect of cuiadian farm WW0: brought up elvii&l"nM.lH10 confer- ence or in the chamber on the de- hate on the draft address.

"It lac necessary to divide farm commodities into two classes." Mr. Gardiner told the House. "'I'here are those produced largely, let us say, one province, or some like potatoes. may be produced lartzeiy in two provinces such as New Brunswick and Prince Edward Is- land, so far as they are produced for marketing purposes.

"When the people from Prince Edward Island come to us and ask us to do something about D0l&b0C5- we point out in them that if this government centralized the promot- ion of potato production at Ottawa and took action right across Can- ada that would be beneficial to the people of Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick. we would harm the potato producers of those two provinces and not help them. And when they come here to discuss this question they are satisfied that that is true.

"Both those provinces are now utilizing the Agricultural Co- operative Marketing Act of 1930 which we put on the statute books to deal with just such questions 3-9 these. That is the marketing of products which are produced in certain limited areas for which they must find markets. There is another different. organizat icu which is handling table stock potato” in the province of Prince Edward Island and must find markets either in this country or outside it. "We have guaranteed to the organizations that wish to market their own product. an amount which is not greater than 80 percent of the prion of their product over the previous three years. in order that they may 80 to the blinks and make arrange- ments for advance payments. And they have made these advance payments.

"That is why I said to the hon- orable member for Queen's (Mr. Mu;Leam, who spoke the other night, that 45 cents was not the price of potatoes but is the ad- vance payment made under the co- operative arnagement between this government and the producers in that province."

Asked by .Y. M. Macbcnneil. Con- servative member for Toronto- Greenwood what the final price of Prince Edward Island potatoes

would be. Mr, Gardiner said: "The final price will not be known until they have sold the

product. It is too new to give the final price up to now."

Vancouver Man Wins Truck lloadoo

Bui CoHiions Annoying To U. S. Senate Group

OITAWA, (Cl?) - Oanada said Wednesday it is willing to arrange a secret ma-ctinig between Igor Gouzenko and "any person" de- Bizmted by the United States gov- ernment-if Gouzenko agrees.

But the Canadian reply to the second U. 8. request to question Gouzeniko. tabled in the Commons, and External Affairs Minister Pearson's 3,500--word outline of Canada's position in the contro- versy madc it clear the govern- ment thlnirs any such meeting would be fruitleen.

The reply said such is meeting must be held ”under Canadian auscplces" - obviously in Canada - and that Canada must give its ap- proval before any Goucenko test- imony oould be made public.

This insistence annoyed the US. Senate internal security sub-com- mitice which wants to quiz the former Soviet. embassy code clerk who tipped the trigger in 1945 on the Russian spy ring operating in Canada.

Senator John M. Butler said in Washington he doesn't like Can- ada's insistence that it must ap- prove cny testimony made public.

"Our sub-committee will have to iineet and decide whether to ac- icept that,” he said.

A Precedent

The Canadian reply reiterated a government statement that Canada already has given "competent" U. 8. authorities all information supplied by Gouzenko in 1946 and subsequently.

The reply disclosed. however, that there is it precedent for a meeting between Gouzenko and s U. 8. Senate committee. In 1049. Canada. arranged a secret meeting in Ottcyra. between Gouzenko and representatives of ii U. 8. Senate judiciary s-ub-committee.

The reply added tisstletliis 1049 lntuxlew had lancer ed no new irifcr ation who I . Mr.- Pear- son said it was held on the un- derstanding Canada would have to approve any testimony made pub- lie.

The reply apparently left it. up to the U. 5. government to decide whether "any person" would in- elude a. member or representative of the security sub-committee. How- ever, there seemed no doubt here the U. 8. would designate a sub- committee representative.

Gouzen-ko, meanrwhiie. said for the third time that he is ready and willing to meet sub-commlt- tee members-in Canada. and in secret.
