Next, stop now for the advance party of the 25th Infantry Bri- gadc is a staging camp in Japan.

Their destination is Fort Lewis. Wash.. where the blllk of Canada's ii. N. force is undergoing intan- sive brigade training. Some of the returning soldiers likely will fly to the United States: but rtfbet will go back by sea.

These are the men who set up 2 South Korean camp for the 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricla's Can- sdian Light Infantry. a crack unit .nx-pectcd soon to move north into the thick of the Korean fighting.

Announcement last week of the riccision to order the advance party home led to speculation 'hnt there now is little chance that the rntire 10,000-man . special force ivlll be committed in the Far East. A popular belief in Canada ll that the full brigade eventual- ly will be sent to Western Eur- ape.

Among the embarking troops was Pte. Roy LaPointe of Ottawa. who was married here Christmas eve to a young woman serving with a Swedish hospital unit.

His bride's contract with the unit expires Feb. 2 and she will return to her l home in Gothen- hurg. Lapolnte said he's hoping that the brigade will by then have been ordered to Europe.

"You can bet I'll try to be in that advance party too!” he said.

Most, of the advance party were not attracted enough b Korea to learn much of the orean ton-

sue. Cpls. Charles Cattle and John Hunt, both of Toronto. were

frankly critical of Korea. Both na- lives of London. England. and Canadians of four years' standing. they said they found Korea tougher. dlrtier and more un- pleasant than anything they ex- perience ddurlng service with the British Eighth Army in Italy.

500000 -Reds Are lieporied Menacing Borders

By Richard lsslschho

BEGRADE. Dec. as -(A.P)- Premier Tito told the Yugoslav Parliament and people tonight that the Soviet Union and its Comln- form satellites are plotting to "swallow" this country.

Tito said Yugoslavia's borders are menaced by armies totalling around

form states. He appealed to the people of these countries to make their leaders "abandon the threats of war and return to the part of friendly co-operation."

He said that armed defence against this threat of aggression demanded great sacrifices from all the people.

"We want peace," Tito asserted. "but we don't. want peace at any price because that means enslave- ment."

lie addressed the Yugoslav Patr- iiament as it took up consideration of the 1951 budget. which contains a. record outlay for military spend- ing. The projected defence approp- riation is 29,100,000 dlnars (3582.- 000,000). or 16.0 per cent of the total national budget.

The Yugoslav commander-ln- chief said these increased defence appropriations were necessary be- cuse of the war preparations of

neighbors He accused these count- rles-chiefly Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria-of building up huge armies of men in violation of their peace treaties.

Tlto's address was the fifth major speech by a Yugoslav -leader in the last week warning the count- ry that it must be vigilant and ready to defend itself in a world threatened by a new general war. W -- -as. 0'"

One-Quarter Meat Ration

LONDON. Dec. X-(CF)-Beeb loving Britons will get one-quar- ter of their skimpy meat ration in mutton next week, the Minis- try of Food announced tonight.

The weekly ration will be cut Monday to 10 pence (about 13 cents) worth of fresh meat a per- son. Britons now are getting one shilling two pence (about .17 cents) worth of fresh meat week-

Twenty per cent of the new ra- tion will be ewe mutton and five per; cent will be wether (rami mutton, a Food Ministry spokes- man said.

Prices of all meals are fixed. and the ration is based wholly on the price. not the weight. Tile amount available to buyers varies, depending on the quality and cut and whether it is homegrown or

imported. The cheapest buy is lowgrade hamburger. Ten pence will pay for either a half pound of this or one small lamb chop. A family of tour, by using all its weekly ration. could buy a small beef roast, or half a leg of lamb.

Announcement of the move to stretch dwindling meat supplies came a few hours after Foreign Secretary Bevin met with Argen- tln Ambassador Carlos Hogan to discuss a new Argentine proposal for resuming South American meat shipments to this country.

Hogan described the Argentine offer as an "alternative proposal" to end the trade deadlock. Argen- tine suspended meat exports to Britain last July after the British Government refused to pay higher prices demanded by the producing country.

increase Shown in Newfoundland Trade Both Ways

Increases in both export and import trade with Newfoundland during the P351 year was noted Ydsllerdhy by Hon. Eugene Cullen. Minister of Industry and Natural Resources in I review of the trade during -the past. twelve months.

Several cargoes of fish meal were imported from the south coast of Newfoundland on the Eskimo. This marked the first ti-me that any amount of fish meal was imported here from Newfouhdiand. Salmon. lobsters. fresh cod, haddock fillets and paint were also imported.

Many more Newfoundland ves- sels entered Island portts during 1950 than 1949 it was noted. More the

cargoes. were ferried out of Province and along with rail shi-pments the value as well as the volume of the export trade will be much higher than 1940.

Products that will show in- creases in export trade to New- foundland and St. Pierre during the year include butter, cheese. eggs. live and dressed poultry.- mcats. canned goods and hay. '

An increase in interest in Is- land products is ahown by the fact that many more inquiries were handled this year by Mr. W. E. Agnew. Director of Trade. Part of the reason for this ., increase. was believed due from publicity received from two booklets pre- pared by the Department. One of the books was compiled on in- dustry and Natural Resources and the other on the Island's canning industry.

Analysis ofFarm Conditions in PEI

For the gear 1950.

By w. a. SHAW, M.B.E.. B.S.A.. Deputy Minister of Agriculture

Farm production in the year 1950 in Prince l!:dwa.rd Island was generally abundant. Field crops produced yields greater than the normal average with the possible exception of hay. The volume of roughage feed, however. due to a

The grain crop which was ye. tarded in growth in the early part. of the summer due to cool weather

ample to supply all

best grain yield in the history of the Province. and for the first time in years carloads of grain are being exported to other Maritime centres. Livestock feeders contend- ing with high priced, imported grains, should be in an exceuent position to develop the industry on the basis of existent domestic sup- plies. A generally good gl'm.Vl:l.'! season, coupled with improvement in varieties and quality of grains sown. and Bfeater attention to the feeding needs of the grain crop are responsible for the high levels of

, grain returns. -

Weed Control

Tile Department of Agriculture materially assisted grain growers during the year by supriying 2.4.0 and bran at subsidized rates in ord- er in control insect depredations which created some damage in cert- ain areas. The prompt application of the control policy avoided what in cther circumstances wo!f';i have been is serious loss. Assistant-e it- 5UPPli'1'”-if DDT mixtures' for" the control of weeds of the mus'.ard faintly is also being carried into effect and the results due to con- trol measures have been of a most. effective nature.

The turnip and mangel crops also dfvelcpcd large yields and in spite o the attacks of the turnip mag- got fairly substantial quantities of this product have been exported for table purposes. The record in- dicates that 355 cars have been sold to the market to Dec. 18th of this year in comparison with ma cars to the same date in 1019. Very large quantities of turnips and msngels will be available for live- stock feeding, thus furthering ex- isting reserves for this purpose.

Potatoes

The potato acreage was approx- imately 5,000 acres less than in 1949 and the total field volume will be over 3.000.000 bushel; under the yield of the previous year. sta- tistical information is sometimes misleading when based on field run figures and I would estimate that there are substantially less pota- toes available for market in Canada than present figures would indic-

No Immediate g Plans for Action By Canada

Rationing-O;1'ires Not Forosoen By U. S. Officials.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8-(AP) -The United States Government announced today that from now on. it will be the country's only importer and distributor of nat- ural rubber.

The National Production Auth- ority ordered that effective tomor-

row, only Jess Larson, general services administrator. may im- port natural rubber and natural

rubber latex.

lleretoforr, Government agencies have had control over synthetic rubber because the Government owns the country's synthetic rub- ber plants. It has been attempting to cut down the use of rubber in civilian goods.

An official statement said it is necessary for the Government to take over the natural rubber buy- ing and distributing program "to safeguard sure that it is distributed utilized most the national defence."

and

thetic rubber; today's action goes

far heyondili excludes private companies from making rubber importaiions.

May Hold Pricon

As an indirect: effect, officials said, the removal of competing private huyers from the field should help hold down rubber prices which have been soaring since the outbreak of fighting in Korea.

The action is expected to have little or no effect on the user of tires or the consumer of other rui:tbcr' products. - r -s

Officials have stated that they now foresee no rationing of tires.

At. the moment. Canada is mak- ing no plans to follow the action the United States to control rubber supplies. n Government of- ficial said in.0ttawa.

The official said Canada gels most of her- natural rubber from Malaya. Any Canadian importer can purchase from this source. In addition. Canada has a 550000.000 synthetic rubber industry. the lcrown-owned Polymer Corporation which is producing a big export- nble sur-plus.
