After the routine business mat- ters had been dealt with, the meeting was thrown open for gen- eral discussion. in which many helpful suggestions on various phases of the association's activi- ties were expressed by the mem- bers present. The main theme of the meeting. which took up con- siderable of the evening's discus- sion, was the general feeling of all present that more recreational social and good fellowship activ- ity within the association should be carried on. The newly elected president also stressed the. im- portance of whole hearted support of the youth activities in the Church such as Cubs. Scouts, Guides and A.Y.P.A.

The feature attraction on last night's program was the concert put on by the 17th Reece Band under the capable direction of Bandmaster Thomas MacFarisne, who put on a splendid evening of varied musical entertainment which met with the enthusiastic approval of the public who award- ed the musicians much hearty ap- plause for their efforts. The many booths with games of chance, lotteries and refresh- ments were well patronized by the attending Public and many nappy individuals went home with bian- kets, chocolates, etc. which were W0" fli- "biflgfl" and other amuse- ment centres. Another feature of the evening, which met with wide response. was the auction sale of home-made cakes. pastries, preserves and re- iishes, while an additional feature of the musical entertainment was the ever popular songs rendered by Charlie Chamberlain, accompanied by Mr. Al Blanchard at the plsno. Last night's door prize, which was a hamper of oysters donated by Vail‘: Oyster Bar. was won by Mr. Warren Gallant of 62 King St. City.

He said that under present conditions of world fear and insecurity it will be impossible to set up effective systems of con- trol and reduction of arms. He said the Communist. slogan changed overnight from "work and production" in the first post.- Wfll‘ days to "wreck and destroy." Russia through wozld Communism was working to maintain s. "state of constant tunnoil and economic chaos." "I call upon the Soviet Union to give us some probative evidence of its sincerity and desire to co-operace with us openly to give life and meaning to the purpose and prin- ciple cf the United Nations chart- er to which we are subscribed." His voice shaking with anger at times. Austin charged that the Russians harped on the horrors of atomic warfare but. disregarded "just. plain war." “For the time being only atomic. warfare is to be dreaded and avoided at all costs. Indeed. war itself is still a recognized means of achieving a Cccnmunist world society. . . . “We hope it is not true that the Soviet Union believes and acts on the premise that a conflict between Russia and the Western world is inevitable. and we hope that Mr. Vishinsky can sssure us that such is not the case." Russian Reply Vishinsky said "we are yearning to co-operate." but that. Russia could not. do so if one side was ‘bolstered’ by the atomic bomb. Viahinsky said: "And you have the atomic bcmb. that little bomb. 0f course you are very hopeful that. others do not have the atomic bomb." . At another point he said “you ought to know there ls always a reply for every weapon." I-Ie did not again hint. as he did a few days ago. that Russia has the atom bomb. Vishlnsky listed Canada along with El Salvador. France, Greece, and Chile in what he term-led “the second camp" of antagonists of Russia. He replied sharply to Chevriers accusations against Russia Mon- day. when the Canadian Cabinet Minister said the Soviet Union maintained "tremendous“ armed forces. "We couldn't expect, the Canad- ian representative to say anything clse in view of the Canadian con- tribution to the unbridled cam- palgn of enmity and hatred against the USSR.- in the course of which the Canadians dldn't sh:ink from resorting to provocateurs and traitors... ." This was an obvious reference to Ithe Canadian spy trials of 1946. The Russian delegate also wanted to know why Canada was against. the Russian proposal that the big powers put into effect a one-third reduction in their armed forces. Previously Canada had voted in favor of a Russian disantnalnrent resolution and the two were vir- tually the same. "Why all this hubbub? Vifhy sii this lightning and thunder against the U.S.S.. proposals?" asked Vish- insky. looking around the chamber, Concluding, Vlshinsky said that Ch'evrier's statements were "catn- pletely devoid of any meaning at all." Canadian sources acknowledged that. the Dominion voted for a Russian resolution two years ago lwhich would have pledged disarm- ament. within the framework of the 1 Security Council. an! Chevrier told the Canadian Press that the position then was "vastly different." "There was hope that an under- with Russia.

Oct. 12 -— (CP)-Questior1 of a floor price for New Brunswick and Prince Ed- ward Island potatoes. alternately supported and opposed, goes before the federal cabinet next. weak. Yesterday at Moncton, Maritime Agriculture officials and potato growers voted to send a delegation to Ottawa Wednesday. Conferences with the Prices Support Board on the potato situation will be held Friday and Saturday. Sessions with the cabinet. to be attended by the three provincial premiers, will fol- qw .. Both Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick growers have re- ported bumper crops. NB. produc- ers expect to harvest an estimated 16.000000 bushels and the Island's output, is expected to reach 8.000.- 000 bushels. Export quotas to the United States On table stock pota- toes is 1,000,000 bushels and on certified seed potatoes, 2.500.000 bushels. Shipments Ln excess of i11- dividual quotas will come under a 75-cent duty instead of the pres- ent 37-cent tariff. Prince Edward Island will ex- port 60 per cent of her potatoes in seed. Although probable New Brunswick export figures were not available, it is believed they will be lower than last year's. The floor price issue has met with, varied reception. Last week. a Prince Edward Island Agricult- ure Department official advocated the minimum sales rate to bring Canadian and United States potato prices into line. He said: "It has been agreed that Canadian ship- pers are at fault in Selling their potatoes too cheaply." Mr. Douglas Quotnd J. L. Douglas. Liberal member of Parliament for the Island con- stituency of Queen's attacked the the proposal, declaring that inl- position cf price levels would not solve the farmers’ problems. Island producers are receiving less for their crops this year. he said. Mr. Douglas blamed the "weak- ness of the market." and serious financial loss to growers on "cut throat competition" among the province's’ large shippers. He said this situation arose through ship- pers pursuing "a short-term pol- icy" cf trying to sell as many cars as possible. l-‘arvners were beginning to at- tribute present low prices to the fsct that shippers were willing to sell potatoes at any price. knowing they would receive their commiss- ion anyway. ‘Ilhere was no need for the province's growers to "be- come panicky." At the Maritfime Board of Trade meeting at Kentville, N.B., last month. Summerside delegates fall- ed to obtain support for a resolut- ion urglng establishment of a floor price Maine Growers Protest Maine growers have been raising a storm of protest over the import. of Canadian potatoes for some time. Wholesalers, particularly in the Boston area. have been buying Canadian varieties at. (‘.0 to 70 cents a hundredweight less than the United States Government sup- port price of $2.70 a hundred- weight. Grocers and wholesalers in Main.» are reported to be backing their own growers to the hilt. Ouc Augusta wholesaler said: “I'd rather 11o out of business than handle Canadian potatoes." A.D. l\fcCain, director of tho N‘. B. potato council said last week he believed the price diffe-errizl would level off when U.S. import duties on potatoes takc an expected 100 per cent jump. Maine lzrowws are holding their stocks anticipat- ing a revised support price 1n January when 11.5. and Canadhzi potatoes should sell for about h.‘ some price. Should the floor price be intro- duced. Canadian consumers viii pay a higher price for potatoes. but. most sources believe it. will be a fractional increase. / \ ‘a \ . M\\\=Z'f “Ymafi OVERALL POTATO (Continued from Page 1) season's crop of roughly 50.000 acres, averaging 100 bushels to the acre, will mean a yield of about 9.- 000.000 bushels of which the Prov- ince wlll have for export about 7,000,000 bushels. L". S. Quota Limited Ccmparatlvely few of those available for export will have the advantage of the minimum Almeri- can duty of 37 1-2 cents per 100 lbs because there is every indicat- ion that New Brunswick alone will absorb the Canadian table-stock quota of 1.000.000 bushels at that rate of duty within the next l0 days. The local market price of 60 cents per bushel for table stock is partly the result. the shipper said, of New Brunswidrs present heavy shipments to the Boston and New York markets. New Brunswick has a good crop of sound potatoes for which she ‘has not. nearly suf- ficleng storage facilities and she ls forced to export her non-storage- able surplus as rapidly as possible. ‘Had she been able to fill Argent- 1ne's order for 1.500.000 bushels of seed potatoes, all would have been well. but the order was contingent on the payment being received in sterling. an arrangement which the Dominion Government would not agree to. It insisted on payment in either American or Canadian dol- lars. American Growers Antsgonized In. the meantime, the export of Canadian. especially New Bruns- wick, potatoes into the United States is causing much hard feel- ing among the American growers. It is true that the American grower has a floor ceiling ranging from $2.70 per IOO-pound bag to the March 1st ceiling of $3.25 per IOU-pound bag. But the United States has a surplus crop of ap- proximately 80,000,000 bushels on which the American Government may have to subsidize their grow- ers to the tune of 5100000000. It 1s natural, therefore. the shipper said. that the Ame:ican grower should resent Canadian potatoes coming into the United States at such a time when he has more than enough to take care of his own market. Asked why the American Gov- ernment dicLnot prohibit its im- porters frcm receiving Canadian potatoes st. u. lower price than the American floor ceiling, the shippe: said he had asked that some ques- tion to a big American grower and received the answer that such s measure would be "laden with dyna- mite.” No one knew better, the American grower said. than the United States Department o! Commercs that the Canadian ex- ports of potatoes to the United States was s. relatively small thing any year compared to the Ameri- can exports of horticultural pro- ducts to Canada. For every dollar the American consumer spent for Canadian potatoes, the Canadian consumer spent $11 for American oranges, lemons. grapefruit, and other horticultural products. For this one reason. the shipper said. he did not believe it. likely that the American Government would invite reciprocal messurcs by placing any embargo on Can- adian potatoes. 1 1 Floor Price Difficulties Commenting on the presenII agitation by Maritime potato growq ers that the Dominion rem- toos. the shipper said such rcgu-g lations would, under present con-i dltions, ccrtainlybe ofgreag, benefit to the Island grower. However. he was afraid that if the floor was made comprehensive, to include both table and seed stuck. it could have disastrous results. Such 1.1 floor could not be discriminatory.' That is to say. it, would have to apply to the farmers of Manitoba. ‘Ontario. and Quebec as well a4 to those of New Brunswick and. Prince Edward Island. And thntl he said. would probably spell ruin-E ation for the Maritime growers. i The Manitoban, with his rich, soil and no fertilizer costs. wouldi immediately go into the potatoJ growing business.
