CALGARY. Jan. 28 - Termini wertime prices for dsi products in Canada "purely a icial" W Fmnk Jones, Toronto. 1n his pre- sidential address at the annual meeting oi the National Dairy Council of Canada here today, said he doubted if one per cent of consumers were aware that the Government hsd been paying a very substantial share of their household bill for dairy products. A difficult situation would arise when subsidies were dropped. _He also felt there was false optimism regarding the position of Canadian dairy products in the British nrarket following the war. "We should not take it too much for granted that because we have done ‘a ratkher credditablle‘ jog ‘of supplyng c eese an o er ory products to Britain during the war that we shall automatically have an assured market there," he stated. Britain had made it plain that trzde must be n double lane highway for her after the war. and 1t must be e ected she would buy from countres which were her customers.

That conclusion seems well Justified. Certainly with Russian spur. heads leu than 150 miles from Berlin at two or more points and mu rolling, the mass of German strategic reserves must be moving eastward.

The three women and nine men on the Jury used a single word. “guilty? in Hultens case. But they recommend ‘ mercy for Mrs. Jones.

A few minutes later, her coun- sel also announced an appeal to a higher court would be made in her c

By W. W. HERCHER LONDON, Jan. 23 —(AP) -- The Rad Army crashed through German Silesia to the Oder River defence line on a 37-miie front in the Bresiau area today and came within 22 miles of trapping the defenders of East Prus- sin.

In Poland, Soviet forces were reported closing in on Poznan, 137 miles east of Berlin, the German High Command telling of fight- ing ln the region east of the city. The German radio again called th people of the homeland to make an epic stand before bhe Soviet avalanche. It spoke of fresh forces deploying on the Eastern Front, but there was no indication in either German or Russian re- ports of s cohesive line being cle- veloped against Russla/s five Rhi- vancing army groups.
