G. Shelton Sharp, Minister of Public Works,_in the course of the Budget debate. Mr. Sharp cited as his authority, not only the definite terms of the agreement and the Minute of Council passed by the Saunders-Lea Government, but also a signed letter from Dr, W. A. Found, Deputy Minister of Fisheries, Ottawa, who wrote emphatically corroborating Mr Sharp‘s interp- retation. _ . ‘ Sharp also dealt trenchantly with the Opposition criticism regarding the Potato Marketing Board, and with "l9 Bllkgestion of Mr. B.

LePage that the Government should havepledged the taxpayers’ money to cover up the financial condition of the Potato‘ Growers’ Association and that the directors, at the annual meeting, should have kept the true financial statement “under their hats.”

Province Seeks Ad- mission Under East- ern Canada Potato Marketing Board.

rREl-‘JRICION. N. 3., March 3i. —Msny of the objections raised by potato growers and shippers in New Brunswick to the Potato Marketing Scheme, will be removed by the in- clusion of the Province of Quebec within the jurisdiction of the East- ern Canada Potato Marketing Board, it was believed here Saturday.

G. C. Cunningham, board member in charge of the New Brunswick agency of the Eastern Canada Board, today wired from Ottawa that Quebec's definite application to enter the scheme had finally been received. A general meeting of the Marketing Board will be held at the Federal Capital on Monday or Tues- day of next week to arrange details, regulations and other points receiv- lng favorable consideration.

Removes Handicap

tending the convention of the mayors of Canada which met in Montreal on the 25th lnst.. and be- 1 ing interviewed by the Guardian; Mayor Kennedy says: “Over our hundred IDIYOII-JIOII‘. Halifax in the East to Vancouver in the West were assembled to consider the un- employment relief question. This relief has been in effect in a great many municipalities duidng the past five years and has become an in- tolerable burden on all the cities of Canada. After listening to the various report; submitted. we are fully convinceddihet the time has him indeed ts loos held. '

Thanks to the enterprise and foresight of Mayor Houde of Mon- treal in calling this conference to- gether, the matter has been taken. that the conference is likely to be? come an annual event...

At the first session two nomin-

One ofthfrii. of which I had the honor to be elected chairman, was for the purpose of selecting mem- bers to constitute the relief com- mittee, Mayor Honda being ap- pointed chairman.» The others chose the members of the finance committee naming as the chairman, Mayor McGccr of Vancouver.

T1188‘! committees at once went energetically to work and after much deliberation and ernest dis- cussion of the various interests at stake drafted two strong resolutions which were agreed to heartily and unanimously by the conference.

‘The texts of these resolutions arc as follows:

It was largely due to the fact that Quebec had failed to accept the boards efforts to aid the growers. by pegging the prices and controll- ing grading of table stock, that much dissatisfaction had arisen within the industry in this province. This handicap. with Quebec's inclu- sion in the scheme, will be remov- ed, it le believed.

One result of co-operation on the part of the Province of Quebec, will be the ieiiiovai 0f Eastern Canada No. 2 table stock from the largest markets in Montreal and other leading Quebec centres.

Inclusive European Security Treaty Favored By Soviet De- legates — Russia Urges France

a so To Be On ‘ Look Out . Zi- ‘ - (By John Lloyd; Associated Press Foreign Staff) (A. P. By Guardian’s Special Wire)

MOSCOW, March (ll-Anthony Eden, British Lord Privy Seal, is in agreement with Joseph Stalin and For- eign Commissar Maxim Litvinofl’ that the nations should go ahead with building up a European security arrange- ment on the basis of the London peace plan, a joint com- munique announced tonight.

The first official account of the joint conferences here, issued as Capt. Eden was leaving for Warsaw to- continue his peace tour, followed a new blast at Germany in the Soviet press with the warning that the Reich has plans for revenge on France, Belgium and Czechoslovakia.

Tonight’s communique said all parties in the confer- ence, finished yesterday, were of the opinion “it is more than ever necessary to pursue the endeavor to promote the building up of a system of collective security in Europe as contemplated in the Anglo-French communique of Feb. 3 and in conformity with the League of Nations.”

(A. I’. by Guardian's Special Wire)‘ LONDON, March 3l—-'I‘lieUnltAd Kingdom’s national accounts for the financial year ended tonight showed a surplus of £7,562,000 (ap- proximately 836300.000).

The year's figure was less than it quarter of last year's surplus $1,147,080 but showed marked im- provemeivt over the deficit of near- ly 236,000,000 two years ago.

The income tax at £229,000.00f (tl,120,000,000) exceeded the Chan- cellor's estimate by more than £9.- 000,000 while the sin-tax and es-

Both Germany and Pound would be welcomed as participants of the security pacts, the communique said.

It asserted Russia and Great Britain found “that there was at present no conflict of interests bo- tween the two C cmments and that this fact provides a firm foun- dation for development of fruitful collaboration between them in the cause of peace."

Particular is was placed upon the league of Nations. The Communique said Eden had ln- forined Litvinoff concerning his talks with Chancellor Adolf Hitler in Berlin and that "it was agreed that these talks had helped to clarify the European situation."

The official Russian press de- clared Hitler turned down all the proposals put forth by the British in the Bcirlin discussions.
