To Head The Holstein Ass’n
B.B. Jones of Bunbury was re-elecfzvd president of the Prince Edward Island Holstein Breeders Association at the annual meet- ing held yesterday at Prince of Wales College.
During the afternoon session
the Breeders had as their guest ‘
Hon. Fugene Cullen, Minister of Agriculture.
In aildressing the meeting the Hon Mr. Cullen stated that he can see no reason Why the Government could not purchase a proven Holstein sire, station him at Falconwood Farm and make the semen available to the breeders of the Province.
He arlded that such ,a project would probably receive support from the N.B. Government as well. .
The Hon Mr. Cullen was speak- ing in reply to a motion by Al- lison Profitt during the morning meeting.

He went on to say that 75 percent of all the pure-bred breeders in Canada have Hol- stein cattle. . »
Of considerable discussion dur- ing the afternoon session was the question of how long judges should. take in regard to the judging of cattle belonging to 4-H Club members. One of the breeders said that last year one young lad was required to stand with his animal for approximat- ely an-hour and a half. He said that this sort of thing was pretty hard on the youngsters.

ouawa Silent On Potato Offer
No report regarding an offer of a price support for potatoes has been received either by Hon. Eugene Cullen, Minister of Agri- culture or by«W. A.’ MacLennan, chairman of the Prince Edward Island Potato Marketing Board.
Both gentlemen when contact- ed yesterday said they had not received a 36 cents per bushel offer; ‘
Last Monday; Elric Campbell, former chairman of the Market- ing Board reported a telephone conversation with Mr. Peansall, chairman of the Agricultural Stabilization Board, in which it
was intimated that the Federal‘
Cabinet had given approval of a support price of 36 cents. Mr. Campbell was a member of the first potato delegation sent to Ottawa at the request of the potato industry here.
Mr. MacLennan said last night some definite word is expected “any day now”. The Prince Ed- ward Island Potato Marketing. Board is in existence at least until the end of June. It was wrongly stated in Monday's issue that the Board was now extinct.

Meeting Considers Steps For New Auditorium In Ch’town
Dr. Frank MacKinnon and Mrs. llocal organizations including the
Bayfield Ellis last night were appointed to head up a committee to prepare a re- solution respecting the construc- tion o: a properly equipped aud- itorium for the City of Char- lottetown.
The appointments were made at a general meeting of interest- ed nersons held at Prince of Wales College last night.
The meeting, chaired by Mrs. Ellis was attended by more than sixty people representing several
Drama Festival Association, the Little Theatre Guild, the P.E.1. Historical Society, the Camera Club, etc.
Speakers heard included: Hon. B. Earle MacDonald, provincial treasurer; Dr. L.W. Shaw, deputy minister of education; Mr. L.W. Shaw, provincial PC leader, Mr_ Spencer, Mr. Hyndman and Dr. MacKinnon.
It was suggested that aid be sought from the federal. provin- cial and local governments.
Seeks Balance
(Continued from Page 1) Mr. Fleming estimated tht per- sonal and corporation tax cuts as
worth $1,000,000 in each case for
this year and $5,000,000 and. $6,- 000,000, respectively, over a full year.
MUNICIPAL BENEFITS
Largest group of beneficiaries from a miscellany of changes in the sales tax would be municipal- ities, which will be permitted tax exemption on purchases of sev- eral new items including sewage system materials, fire truck chass- sis and diesel fuel for generat- ing electricity. '
The exemption from the 10-per- cent tax was estimated as worth $5,000,000 a year for municipal- ities.
Exemptions from this tax will be extended to additional farm purchases including stock condi- tioners, some sugar beet han- dling equipment and articles used in making grain or seed-cleaning materials.
A new group of building mate- rials also was put on the sales tax-exempt list. -
All the sales tax changes are efifective imimedia-tely. Mr. Flem- ing estimated the treasu~ry’s loss would be $5,000,000 for the re- mainder of this year and $7,000,- 000 in a full year.
SEES MORE RELIEF
He forecast another eventual $7,000,000-a-year relief — but not for this yea-r—-in leugislation which he will introduce in Parliament to ease the succession duties on small estates. It will give partic- ular relief to widows, for whom estates will be exempt up to $60,- 000. Succession duties now are payable at more than $50,000.
Another forecast by the minis- ter was that of early amend- mentsto the sales tax structure, resulting from a current study of the system.-. The changes were not specified. , _
Mr. Flerning announced the governments emengorucy gol mining assistance for marginal producers willbe i-nicreased by 25 per cent to about $12,000,000 a year, start-ing with 1958.
REPEAL MAGAZINE TAX-
The controversial excise tax of 20 per cent on advertising in spe- cial editions of non-Canadia-n ‘pe- riodicals is repealed, effective immediately.
Mr. Fleming instituted a once- in-a-lifetime provision allowing gift tax exemption up to'$10,000 on real estate transfers between husband and wife or farmer and child, effective this year. With an existing $4,000 exemption», this brings to $14,000 the total exempt in a single transaction. ,
C a n a cl i a n tourists return- ing from trips outside continen- tal North America will be al- lowed after July 1 to bring in duty-free purchases up to $300 a year, lumping in one trip the present allowance of $100 every four months.
Salestax exemptions on pur- chases by shelter and care in- stitutions were broadened to take in those giving temporary care, in addition to penmanent institu- tions.
Mr. Fleming forecast revenues of $4,652,000,000, down from the estimated $5,047,000,000 for the year ended las-t March 31, when there was an indicated $39,400,- 000 deficit.
The last previous full-fledged budget——»pres~ented by Liberal fi- nance minister Walter Harris in March 1957—had forecast a $152,-
000,000 surplus and Mr. Fleming in December had revised this cal- culation to an $80,000,000 s-ursplus.
Tuesday night’s budget Pre- dicted budget spending of $5,300,- 000,000, up from $5,086,000,000 in the last fiscal year and topped only by the $5,3-22,000,000 of the wartime year of 1943-44.
OTHER SPENDING
But there will be more than budget spend-inig. Universal old age -pensions were expected to cost $555,000,000. Of this amount, $365,000,000 would be collected by a special twoeper-cent income and sales levy ..'. not within the b'udget——a.nd the $190,000,000 def- icit would be taken out of budget funds.
The minister estimated that, with the deficit and non-budget transactions such as loans and iuv-estmenits, the government will have to borrow about $1,400,000,- 000 in new cash.
Mir. Fleming based his revenue forecast on an expected record 1958 gross national product- value of goods and services pro- duced — of $32,000,000,000, which in turn was based on an assump- tion of normal crops and no change in the general price level.
The 1957 giross national product.
was $-51,-143,000,000.
On the largest item-personal income tax—he looked for a drop to $1,%19,000,000 from $1,499,000,- 000. '
Second-langest source of intake —corrpoi~.ation income tax—would fall t-o $1,019,000,000 compared with $1,235.000.000 in the 1957-58 year ended March 31.
More than half the $355,000,000 reduction in predicted over - -all revenue is due to the December tax cuts and Tuesday night’s mi- nor ones, and Mr. Flesming said almost all of the remainder would result from an expected fal.lin.g- ofif in corporation profits.
-REASON NO -‘CUTS
In explaming why he has not
undertaken any major tax cuts at this time, Mr. Fleming saicl that they are not necessary for economic reasons. ’ In the absence of any further adverse events outside Clanacla, he said, policies already put into effect by the Oon»ser.rvative.s should “sustain economic activ- ity‘ and provide the . . . climate forlan earlyresumption of econ- omic expansion."
Going d-eeiper into deficit fi- nancing could court initiation tliat might be ditificult to control.
Canada now had symptoms of both recession and inflation and, if the.g-overnment went too far in anti-recession measures, “we might find we had planted an -inifilvationary time bomb which might later go off with a danger- 0llS'1Y explosive efifect.”
' Automobile Sale Deferred
A court orderhas deferred the
sale of 37 automobiles by Trad-
ers Finance which were held by the company on conditioiial sales contracts made between Johnston Motors of Murray River and the
purcliasers, the said contracts having been duly assigned to Traders Finance. '
The order was issued by Mr. Justice George Tweedy on ap- plication of J.0.C. Campbell, Q. C., acting for creditors of John- ston Motors Ltd. in bankruptcy, and was granted because the first meeting of the creditors will not be ‘held’ until Friday, June 20_ >

Big ‘Decline in Maritime
Fish Landings
Maritime fishermen 15.2. milliompounds less fish in May this year than they did in the same month last year and found themselves as a con-se- quence $1 million dollars out of pocket. ‘
The decline in lobster land- ings alone which amounted to 3.5 million pounds accounted for $0.7 million dollars of this drop in revenue, a joint Department of Fisheries-Dominion Bureau of Statistics releaise dated J-une 16 states. I
Fish landings in the Maritime Provinces during the month of May were officially recorded at 60.6 million ‘lbs., Valued at $4.6 million, —
Records for the same month last year placed landings at 75.8 million lbs., at a value of $5.6 million.
MAIN DECREASES.
The main decreases in May this year compared with May last year occurred in the land-
landed»
During May
ings of herring, cod, lobster. and polloc-k.. Respectively, these were: 5.0, 3.6. 3.5, 2.9 and 1.4 million lbs.
Fishing operations in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island were fully resumed dur- ing’tlie month of May, following the winter lull.
By provinces, the recorded landings were: Nova Scotia 40.8 million lbs.. valued at $3.0 mil- lion; New Brunswick 14.6 mil- lion "lbs., valued at $0.7 million; and »Prince Edward Island 5.1 million lbs.. valued at $0.9 mik lion. .
The relatively low value of New Brunswick landings was due to the reduced catch of lobsters, occasioned by the season-al closure in certain parts of the
province. Here in P. E. I. most fishing districts report that lobster
landings thus far in the sipvrinig season are considerable below that of last year.
Can Bring Bqck Up To $300 Worth Of Goods Duty-Free
0'1l'IlAiWA (CP) — Canadians who go -abroad only once a year -—or once in a l,ifetime—-will be able to bring home up to $300 worth of goodsduty-free instead of $100 worth as now.
This proposed change in cus- toms reg-ul~ati~ons, announced by Finance «Minister Fleming in his budget speech Tuesday night, will apply only to Canadians visit-
United States as compia-r-ed with those who travel abroad only ‘oc- casionally,” Mr. Fleming said. As of July 1, therefore, Canva- dians would be allowed to use up the annual $300 duty-sfree provi- sion in a single trip, provided they stay abroad at least 14 days. Existing reg«ul.a:t,ions con- tinue to apply on. visits to the
ing countries outside continental US
North America. It is to become efifective July 1.
At present, Canadian travellers can bring home $100 worth of goods duty - free every four months, p'i'ovided they remain outside Canada at least -1-8 hours. Thus over a year the total that could be ‘brought back is $300 worth.
“It is apparent that this ia- vors those who are accustomed
The new proposal arpiparently is aimed at eucourag.in=g C_‘an-adians visiting the United Kingdom‘ to bring back more goods.

Watson Jame-r Gives Talk To Businessmen In London
LONDON (OP) — H. Watson Jamer made his first public pitch on behalf of C‘-anad-a’s Atlantic provinces Tuesday when he told about 50 Clanaadian and British businessmen that the area may become a big name in inter- national trade.
“We have t e resources and the production,’ said the newly-
appointed agent-general for the
four provinces. “Now our job is to get into international mar- kets . . . We have the know-how and slci-ll."

Fleming is Hopeful Thai‘ Recession Ha 5 Now
By HAROLD MORRISON . Canadian Press Staff Writer OTIWWLA .(vCP)—-Finance Min-
ister Flleiniug raised cautious hope tonight that the recession has ended. But he made clear that for some time to come the main impetus for Canadian eco- nomic expansion will have to come from governments rather than industry.
Embarking on his first budget speech. Mr. Fleming informed the Commons that with many in- dustries over-expanded, the Ca.- nadian business scene will gen- erate less power toward new construction and expansion.
He predicted a new period of
business expansion — the force
that powered most of Canada’s post-war growt-h—-will “not be long delayed.” Meanwhile, Cana- dian energies could be devoted to building more houses, providing more muiiicipal services and pre- paring the foundations for the new business cycle. ‘
On this basis, he estimated Canada’s national production of goods and services this year would reach a record $342,000,000,- 000—a rather minor two-per-cent climb, compared with the four- per-cenl: increase last year to $3l.400,000.000.
SEES IMRPOVEMENT
Knowing the “deten1iiination" of his government and the re- sourcefulness of Canadians, “I have no hesitation in budgeting on the basis of a resumption of the rise in incomes and produc-
. tion.”
But he could not hold out com- plete hope that even the small two_-per-cent increase would be entirely in physical production rather than price inflation.
“In the absence of immediate. inflationary pressures, I would not expect any general increase in prices during the balance of the year. But this is not some- thing we can take for granted. . . . Inflation remains a very real danger against which we must re- main on guard.”
ll/Ir. Fleming fired a new volley of criticism at United States port restrictions and predicted “lasting benefits” -from the Com- mouwealth trade and economic conuference opening Sept. 15 at Montreal.
He quashed hopes of exporters that the Progressive Conserva- tives might try to reduce the pre- mium value of the Canadian dol- lar th1‘0'Uig-h deployment of the <=0|mt1‘y’s official reserves of gold and U.S. dollars.
COSTLY IMPORTS,
Cutting the prerniuin rate of the dollar-—now riding about 3% per cent above the U.S. dollar-— might benefit some exporters but it would make imports more ex- pensive, he argued.
lcauada used its official re- serves ,to “limit" the impact of short-run fluctuations in the ex- change rate but not to reverse “lpersistent market trends.”
“Indeed. it is doubtnu 3,5 the
exchange fund could be success- fully employed for this purpose over any extended period of time.” V
-He spoke of the huge Canadian deficit in American trade and the need to pursue “‘ener.getic, cor- rective measures."
This year the deficit was ex- pected td ‘shrink sharply -because of the decline in Canaidiaii im- -ports. But Mr. Fleming recalled that even though Canad-a.’s deficit with the U.S. was reduced by 20 per -cent in 1957 “it still exceeded $1,000,000,000.”
He touched on American re- strictions on Canadian oil; the threat to Canadian exports of lead, zinc and copper and the “severe” damage caused to Ca- nadian wheat exports through the U.S. giveaway .pro-gram in co mercial markets.
“We have made it clear to the U.S. authorities that measures which add to our difficulties in selling in the U.S. market or in third countries cannot but impair our ability and willingness to im- port from them."
OPPOS-ES OBSTACLES
The government intended to “press for wider access on rea- sonable tervms to the U.S. mar- ket; and we -will continue to op- pose with all the means at our disposal any threat to impose greater obstacles against Cana- dian exports to that market.”
It also intended to encourage imports from the Coninionwealth
Ended
on the basis of “normal market -forces.” At the sametime, effi- cient home industry would be en- couraged so that more of Can- ada’s needs could be met from domestic production.
The September Commonwealth coniference would differ ifrom‘ the 1932 meetin=g when imperial tariff preferences were cemented and increased. No new system of preferences would be proposed, but Canada would seek to retain the existing system which had been wea'k~ened somewhat since the General Agreement on Tar- iffs and Trade was introduced in 1947-48.
The governments trade objec- tives were to:
1. Achieve expansion, diversifi- cation, better balance and greater stability in Canada’s trade with all countries.
2. Extend and strengthen Can- ad-a’s trade and economic rela- tionships with the Common- wealth.
3. Support and promote a re- gime of low, order and morality in the field of international trade; respect the spirit and intent of international commitments; and stand ready to defend Canada’s rights and interests if they are challenged or ignored.
4; Recognize the legitimate needs of Canadian producers and safeguard them against unfair trading practices.
5. Promote the balanced growth of all sectors of Canadian indus-

Most of his ‘story dealt with the formation of the Atlantic Prov- inces Economic Council, set up five years ago to help bolster the economy, and the bringing to- gether of the four prouincia-1 gov- ernments into a unified force. The setting up of the Atlantic prov- inces gffice in Lonudonrwas “the first time the four premiers- two Liberals and two C1on.serva- hives — have been ‘incomplete agreement on any one project."

With huge ‘power and mineral developments, there already are markets for British machinery and equipment, he said. These markets would grow, and so would the sales ofprotlucts from the Atlantic region.
