Minimum Postponed It is expected that at least two weeks will elapse before a mini- mum price for table stock potatoes is established. it was learned last night from Mr. D. A. MacDonald. Manager of the Prince Edward Island Potato Marketing Board, who returned from Moncton on Saturday night. The matter was discussed at a joint meeting of the P. E. I. and New Brunswick Potato Marketing Boards on Friday and Saturday, and it was felt that it would be better to withhold a. decision until crop conditions and markets were steadler. : The members of the two boards also conferred with Rand ”Mnth- eson, Manager of the Maritime Transportation Commission on the proposed freight rate in- crosses. In effect at present is the 12 per cent increase which the railways received instead of the 20 per cent which was requested. Mr. Mathcson wants the opinion of all business interests in the Mari- tlmes, including the two potato boards, before a decision is made in Ottawa in November by the Royal Transportation Commission.

The statement, issued from a week-end meeting of the council. charged the government with "callous disregard" for the con- dition of the ordinary Canadian family. Action IV-Ill Also include The Sudan CAIRO, Oct. 8 e. (CP) - Egypt tonight announced a. series of de- crees designed to throw British troops out of the Suez Canal zone and take absolute control of the Sudan, at present jointly admin- istered by Brltaln and Egypt. An official British Embassy statement said the decision is ll- legal, arguing that the 1936 Anglo- Egyptian treaty contains no pro- vision for denunciation at any time. British troops in the Suez Canal zone towns of Port Said, Ismailia and Suez were ordered into camp and leave was cancelled. Prime Minister Mustafa Nahas Pasha, leader of the Wafdlst (na- tionalist) Party, introduced in a cheering parliament the bills to carry out cancellation of the An- glo-Egyptian treaty and ahrogate the 20-year pact under which Brit- ish troops are allowed to guard the Suez Canal. vital link between the West and the Orient. I-lis speech came less than a week after British oilmen were forced out of Iran, another coun- try in the troubled Middle East. Nahas Pasha also asked for ap- proval of decrees proclaiming King Farcuk as first king of Egypt and the Sudan, and a third dissolving the 1899 accord which put the Su- dan under joint British and Egypt- lan administration. The decrees will be discussed at the next session of Parliament in November. He recalled that abrogation of the 1936 treaty was forecast in the King's speech opening parliament earlier this year. -Egypt could not be patient any longer, he declared. He said the treaty was signed when Egypt was mensced by the Axis powers. The defeat of the Axis and establishment of the U. N. had "put an end to all men- ace." Expea King's Tour Will Be cancelled LONDON. Oct. ll - (AP) - The general expectation here is that the King's Australian tour, set for next year, will be cancelled. A Buckingham Palace spokes- man sald there is no official state- ment as yet, and he did not know when one is expected. There is speculation that Princess Elizabeth nnd the Duke of Edinburgh may go in the place of the King, who is recovering from a serious lung operation. The Sydney Sun said during the week-end in a dispatch from Lon- don that the royal visit is definite- ly off, and that Princess Elizabeth and her husband would make the trip instead. Prime Minister Sydney Holland of New zcaland, commenting on such published reports. said he had received no information that the plans for the royal tour had been cancelled. Two U.N.B.

As the royal couple drove slow- ly past the cheering thousands who jammed Dorval Airport, some 15 miles west of Montreal, specta- tors could see the gleam of a three-strand pearl necklace at her throat and pearl button ear rings. From one female spectator come the remark: "Look, that skirt has a slit on each side and its the new pencil-slim type." Newspaper men from England said they could never remember the Princess having worn this plu- tlculsr shade of blue.

The enthusiastic crowd, after cutting loose with valleys of up- roar as the Royal Pair went through their functions on Canadian soil, finally surged through police lines and surrounded their limousine as it made a walking-pace tour of the sirpprl; perimeter with the Princess and her husband obvious- ly enjoying the unscheduled dem- onstration.

The proposals--rejected by Bri- inln-were: printed for the first time by the Liberal Manchester Guardian. one of Britain's most influential newspapers. They were made Sept. 20 before British oil technicians were expelled from Iran.

According to the Man- chester Guardian it suggested that a foreign technician should be appointed as director of the extraction and refining organiz- ation of the company. The news- paper's diplomatic correspondent said this clearly did not exclude the appointment of A Briton. The Iranians also proposed the British Government might rc- lnln one-half of the price of the oil it purchased toward gradual settlement of compensation for the company, in which It had a controlling interest.
