S. ls Force 8S1: GITAWlA. lily I - G) _ Potato crops are tricky, but pyg- sent prospects are that Canada will produce just about enough potatoes this slimmer to meet her own needs. There‘: little hope she will be able to assist materially in supply ing the United States with a fore cast deficit o1 $900,000 bushels, reported from Washington today.| Canada normally grows about 16.000000 bushels of spuds, and while aha had s large surplus last year. she managed to dispose of it through efforts of the Agri- cultural Prices Support Board. Just at present. she is importing new potatoes from the U. B. This is the normal procedure. Canadian crops are later than those in the ‘U. 8.. and during June and July this country usually brings in new potatoes. In the autumn, when the crop is harvest- ed completely, the shipments re- verse, and Canada generally fills Child Falls From Second Storey Window Three-year-old S u e Hudson, dB/llfihter of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Hudson of St. Eleanors, escaped Iwith only slight concussion yester- day when she fell from the second storey of her home. The child was tailnevn to holpitai at Summerside, two miles away, where it was an- nounced after examination that she was suffering from slight con- cussion but had no bones broken and apparently had suffered no in- ternal injuries. The child was playing upstairs when the accident happened. She was alone but it is assumed that she unhooked the screen at the window before losing her balance. She was knocked uncrmscious in the 11-foot drop to the grass but other children playing in the yard saw her and told the mother. Mr. Hudson called a taxi from Sum- merslde to rush the child to the the LOOQOOO-bushel low-duty im- port quota set by the U S. Crops this year are forecast at about 10 per cent below last year's expectations at th'is time. While there is no telling what. future wheather may do to the actual crop, a recent Dominion Bureau of Statistics report gave prospects for New Brunswick, the big spud- producing province, at ‘l8 per cent of the long-time average. com- pared with 93 per cent forecast at the same date last year. Prince Edward island prospects are for 90 per cent of this average compared with 99 per (‘zflb last year, yaihiie Ontario expects '18 per cent and Quebec 81. Late planting due lo wet Weather and reduced acreage, are the basis of the estimates. ‘The U. S. Agriculture Depart- ment, which last year was faced with a tremendous 331.000.0410 bushel crop, is expecting about 125,000,000 bushels less this year, which will mean 259004100 1e“ than estimated needs. Soviets May Be Consideringflwn Economic Plan (By Eddy Gilmore) MOSCOW-July ll - (AP)- Prospects of Soviet aid for Eur- opean countries-especially those which do not eventually associate themselves with the Marshall proposal-appeared to observers today to be a distinct possibility. On the eve of the Paris confer- ence, Moscow's press and radio maintained previous attacks up- on the Amarican offer, _but in- eluding new points. . The Soviet veiw on several is- sues was more clearly outlined: 1. The prospect that Russia may offer aid in one form or another to mropean nations. ‘(Previous dispatches have suggested this aid might take the form of grain, indust iai goods and reduction, in the case of ex-enemy nations, of reparations.) ' 2. A growing belief by the Rus- sians that really they never were wanted in the arrangements that they were invited merely as a p0- lite or necessary gesture. 3. Hopes expressed in some quart- ers of the world that the USSR. might eventually come into the setup are ill-founded. 4. Mounting apprehension that there is a plan afoot somewhere to get Western Germany into the Marshall proposal and eventually into what the Russians describe as the "vvestorn bloc." ‘fihe Russians say they look on the Truman doctrine and the Mar- shall proposal-which they do not separate- as primarily aimed against them.
