Shippers To Discuss Trade With federation

A decision to meet with repre- scn-tatives of the Federation of Agriculture next Tuesday night was reached st a meeting last evening of shippers interested in the Newfoundland trade. The meeting. which was held in the Co-op building. had a larger rep- resentation than the first organ- izational gathering held last month with some shippers from Prince County present.

The proposed meeting on Tues- day night will be for the purpose of acquainting the Federation with the problems encountered by the shippers in handling Island farm produce and livestock. It is planned to have ii group'of ship- pers meet Tuesday afternoon in order to prepare material to be

sulbmittecl for discussion that evening. No definite action on organ-

izing the shippers was taken last night as the general feeling was that sufficient representation of shippers of all types of produce was not present. However, a general discussion on possibilities for the future was carried on with the meeting in accord on the desirability of having a plant here to kill animals to permit the shipment of dressed meat. The main reason for worry over the coming shipping season was said to be lack of R ship capable of providing 8 satisfactory serv-

U. S. Editors Divided On MacArthur Issue

NEW YORK, April l2 - (CP) - Newspaper editors across the country are as sharply divided in sentiment on the firing of Gen. MacArthur as their readers. Edit- orial reaction ranges from denun- ciation of President Tl-umsn to warm praise.

The Chicago Tribune and Wash- ington Times-Hersld said: "Presi- dent Ti-uman must be impeached and convicted. His hasty and vin- dictive removal of Genera Macar- thur is the culmination of s series of sets which have shown that he is unfit. morally and mentally. for his high office."

At the other end of the argu- ment. the Baltimore (Morning) Sun sold: "Mr. Truman's decision was proper and necessary soldiers must. obey the orders that come to them from above or there is

Truman is a crushing blow to Am- erica long prepared by the clique of administration officials who seem determined upon a course of appeasement toward Communist Russia and Communist China.

"It follows the line, of weak- lmeed diplomacy so long advocated by the socialist government of Eng- lancl. by the French and Italian Communist blocs . it demon- strates the insidious power over the President of secretary Acheson and General Marshall . . ."

The Chicago sun-Times: "No American general is bigger than the government of the United states . . .. he was fired because he was insubordinste."

Opposes Capitalism

The final step in the Argentine legislative process is signature by ;Preslc1cnt Peron.-who last: night ialtackcd La Prensa as "a beach- tlicad left here by capitalism.”

Ii The expropriation bill was re-? commended by a nine-man con-

(CP)- 'grcssional committee which for 22: rear 330-

Ldnys has been investigating the lpazilccked newspaper's activities. iLis Prensa has been closed since

Jan. 26-first by a news vendors' boycott supported by the govern- lnient-supported printers union and rtheli by goveriinieiit order.

Pcrolilstn congressninii ,said,.La Prensa was an aiiti-.'irgentine Oi”- gaii which put foreign interests above those of this country.
