Calls For New Party To Overthrow Tito

By Thomas P. Whitney

MOSCOW. Sept. 5 -(AP) -The Moscow press and radio today played up a Comfnform article calling for s new Communist party to rise in Yugoslavia and quickly overthrow Marshal Tito. Yugo- slavia‘: premier.

It called Tito o. repulsive bandit- fascist gang leader and I. Com- munist in name only.

Foreign observers considered the prominence given to the article in Pravda and on the radio was a Blstsificant step in the war of angry words between the Kremlin an

The observers figured a new party in Yugoslavia would have to work underground in peril of Tito’s forces but would be supported. by Comirsiorm countries as their true ally.

(Such boring-from-wlthin strategy fits in with widely-circulated rum- ors and reports that Russia will rely on suioversions to win back Yugoslavia rather than resort to war to tame Tito. Some reports have suggested Cominformists might try to assassinate him.)

The article said Tito had turned his Communist party into a police machine that would have to ,be re- placed by “com Ietely new party organizations w th a new central organ."

The article contended the Yugo- slav regime of Tito and LL-Gen. Alexander Rankovic. a deputy premier, is a "Fascist clique.” Tim was disowned by the Ccminform i5 months ago for allegedly turning to Nationalism. '

The article said: .

“A new party organization of healthy forces from the Communist’ praty of Yugoslavias honest work- ers, ivorklng peasants and intel- ligentsia rcmaining true to their own people and friendship with the Soviet Union will be created in a stubborn battle with the present organization, which is a. weapon in the hands of the police apparatus of Rankovic.

The radio broadcast of the article said 70 per cent of the Yugoslav Communist Party is made up‘ of Kulaks (landed peasants) and "other bourgeois strata." The war killed off 75 per cent of the old Yugoslav Marxists. the radio said.

two tractors with heavy machin- ery. He says he cannot see the farmers in his district returning to horses, which are now worth only $10 apiece.

Speaking of his late brother, Sir Frederick, Mr. Banting says as the youngest he got the chance to go to college. “I suppose we had t0 work a little harder. He would rather have bought a book than his breakfast.”

Mr. J. Nicol Wilson ‘of Ailiston thanked the hosts on behalf of the visitors and Mr. Irwin Anderson of Kem-ptville presented gifts of 5 lb packages oFthree-and-a-half year old Ontario cheese to the Minister of Agriculture and Premier J.

From The Charlottetown. the group was driven to Birch Court and hoard addresses on potato cul- ture by Messrs. RC. Parent, sup- erintendent, Experimental Farm; 8.6. Peppin, officer in charge. Seed Potato Certification; RR. Hurst, officer in charge Science Service and F.M. Cannon. entom- ologist, Mr. Walter Shaw presid- mg.

Introducing the speakers, Mr. Shaw referred to the low disease incidence in Island live stock, and believed there "may be merit in the Island climate regarding dis- ease resistance in potatoes." He also spoke of the favourable soil and noted that the law requires every grower to plant certified seed each year. Referring to the Island potato levy, Mr. Shaw con- tinued: "I think each branch of agriculture should look after its own problems~ through similar levies for the farmers’ protection."

Speaking on "Cultural Experi- ments and Variety Tasting" Mr. Parent reviewed the work at the Farm on potatoes. He showed the potato growing arcas on the large map and referred to potato exhib- its and an aerial photo cross-sec- tion of the Island. "The only rota- tion that has maintained fertility and yield in experiments here since 1914, are long rotations of 6 or 7 years. with two years of fert- ilizccl pasture," concluded Mr. Par- ent.

Mr. Peppin reviewed the "De-

velopment of the Seed Potato In- dustry" from its early Island be- ginnings under Paul Murphy. He noted that the first carload of seed potatoes ever shipped in Can- ada. was from RE. Island to Learn- ington, Ontario. "In 1930-40, we shipped an average million bushels a year to the US. Last year was our pcak with 3.268.000 bushels to he U.S. Mr. Peppin scored the new var- ieties which, he believed. was the cause of decreasing potato con- sumption. "Bcauty in a potato. as in anything clsc, is only skin deep. They mny look well — but clo they mt well?" asked Mr. Peppin.

Of the 48.000 acres cf potatoes on the Island. some 36.000 acres are for seed. He stressed the ne- cessity for quality and stated that many farmers were flow growing "tuber units."

“Keep the disease down and the markets will follow the quality." concluded “fr. Pcppin.

Speaking on disease control, Mr. RR. Hurst recounted a number of achievements of Ontario potato growers - one acre yielding 7.020 bus. "Our work is to act as watch- dogs against anything that threat- ens the crop." I-Ic spoke highly of the efforts of his staff in their “long-tcrm" research projects-and answered a few questions.

Mr. Cannon gave a short talk on the pests which attack pota- toes on the Island, and the cont- troi methods evolved. He saidhil department was testing for times to apply and the amounts requir- ed. New chemicals were also be- ing tested _ some showing out- standing results.

Mr. LC. Roy, CNJR. agricultural representative also spoke.

Today. Mr- Henry Moot-awn, Senior Potato Inspector. will lead the party on a tour which in- cludes the farms of Mr. Austin Scales, Simmons and MacFarlane, Baldwin's Potato Fields.
