Tariff Help For Potatoes-

OTTAWA (CPI-Federal freight assistance to hell) Pill Mafmme W tatoes into central Canada markets gnd protection against dumping 09 United States potatoes were urged in the Commons Thursday-

Gage w. Montsomerv (PC-Viv torla-Carleton). who represents New Brunswick'I major potato lrowlng area, said in the throne gpeech debate that Canada's farm- Q1-g do not grow a surplus of po-

tatoes. . .

He said t at in fact consumption is greater an production but be- cause of government policy Mari- time growers have no access to central Canada markets. Mean- while. the U. S. was allowed to dump potatoes into Canada. '

U. S. growers had an advantage because they were closer to On- tario and Quebec markets and could produce more efficiently. But that efficiency was due to U. S. tariff and quota protection and the Canadian industry could become justedas efficient if it were pro- feet

"The people of my constituency

do not feel they have square deal," he said " have no protection whatsoever.

The government should help pail rail freight on potato shipments to central Canada. A Confederation promise to the Maritimes had been that its products would be able to compete in Ontario and Quebec with products of- those big l1I'0V' inces.

Mr. M 6 became in- volved in I cross-the-floor 01' change with Agriculture Minister Gardiner concerning the new fed- eral plan of aldto 1103830 Ef0W' ers. One of his statements also brought Speaker Rene Beaudoin into the debate.

Mr. Montgomery said that for I time last year U. S. 110181093 smaller than Canada No. 1 ITEM were being shipped into Canada. He said that hotel restaurants of the publicly-owned CNR and even the parliamentary restaurant used potatoes smaller than the No. 1 grade.

Speaker Beaudoin, who is re- sponsible for the parliamentary

f always buys No. 1 pota- toes.

GBOWERS IN DOUBT

Mr. Montgomery said New Brunswick growers still are not. sure what aid the government will give in its plan to divert about 2,000,000 bushels to starch factor- le

s.

He said growers have been told they will be guaranteed a price of S1 for 165-pound barrels of No. 1 grade.

Mr. Gardiner interrupted to say the , t toes need only be garden- run kinds, to be graded after de- livery.

Mr. Montgomery said the pro- gram is too late. The problem had been known last September. The program had not yet come. into ef- fect and it would end April 30.

Last fall many farmers were forced to sell at a loss of about 90 cents I barrel. The program should have begun Oct. 1 to save them from such losses.

Eisenhower Talks Like Man

Who Will Not Be Candidate

WASHINGTON (CP)- President Eisenhower talked more and more Thursday like a man who isn't going to rim for I second term in the White House.

That's the impression he left with many correspondents in his first full-dress meeting with the Wash- ington press corps since he was stricken by I heart attack in Den- ver Sept. 24 last. Others felt he still was leaving the door open to I second term.

While he did concede that he hasn't yet reached even I "ten- tative" dd e c i stop, Eisenhower's press conference comments indi- cated his thoughts. are running heavily in the direction of his health, the ca -regulated he must run in the future and the relationship of that sort of I life to his ponsibiiitles as president if the nlted States.

Taxes, he said. are preventing many Canadian investors from un- dertaking such ventures and called on the federal government to cor- rect the situation.

Two Tankers Due In Charlottetown This Afternoon

Should weather conditions re- main as favourable as they have been in the past few days, the waterfront of Charliittetown will

start to show some definite "act- ivity. Two tankers are expected to arrive during the afternoon from Halifax.

The tanker sprucebranch is due with a cargo of fuc' and stove oil for the imperial Oil Company.

The Irving Oil Company tanker lrvinglake sailed from Halifax at ten o'clock yesterday morning for Charlottetown also withla cargo of fuel and stove oil. Local officials of both companies f their ships in this afternoon.

The Irving Company tanker See- konk which was cscorted out of Charlottetown by the CGS Saurel early this month, arrived in Plchou Wednesday and late yesterday was waiting for the visibility to improve to permit her moving up the river to New Glasgow.

From reports received ice con ditions in the Northumberlnnd, Strait will now offer very little op position to any shipping headed for this port. East Point reports clear water in every direction and Cape Bear and Wood Islands re ported that the ice that had en closed those placcs was now loc ated over along the Nova Scotla coast leaving an open channel all along the south shore of the Island.

This is the result of the wind which has been blowing from I northerly quarter almost steadily for a day and a half. It is consid- ered that even if a shift in the wind should come there is little chance that it will impede shipping to any great extent.

Sirong Action Promsied It Any Repetition

UNITED NATIONS. N. Y. (AP) The United Nations Security Coun- cil unanimously condemncd Israel Thursday for the Sea of Galilee raid on a Syrian outpost Dec. ll and warned that further raids would be met with sterner meas- uers to maintain the uneasy ar- mistices in the Holy Land.

It was the fourth time in two years that the council had cen- sured Israel for a major violation of Israel's borders with the Arab states. The Arabs have not been censured by " decision but Israel has complained against hun- dreds of alleged border crossings by Arabs.

Russia, which finally supported the decision as the best it could get for the Arabs. has vetoed two resolutions backed by the West. One accused Syria of illegal diver- sion of waters of the River for- dan and the other expressed con- cern at Egypt's blockade of the Suez Canal against Israeli ship-

pins.

Britain, the United States and France introduced the resolution adopted by the council at a three- hour session.

The resolution said Israel corn- mltted a "flagrant violation" of the Israeli-Syrian armistice in the raid in which 56 Syrians and six Israelis were killed. '

In addition. the council:

. 1. Expressed grave concern at the failure of Israel to comply with its obligations.
