He scored the "intemperance" of its language and said he was not surprised the Prime Minister "is a little reluctant to see you."

It was at Collins' suggestion at tiiuir convention in a downtown C.illCe hall that the delegates, some 50 strong, filed up Parliament Ilill. picketed the entrance for half an hour and then tried to ar- rxlnge interviews to present their brief. Their brief said unemployment has reached "alarming" proper. t.ons and advocated a 50 per cent increase in unemployment insur- ance benefits, start on a nation- wide program of public works. and initiation of a policy "of peaceful trade and friendship with the whole world."

Tweedy ordered an accounting of all financial dealings between Harry Winchester and the firm of N. Rattenbury Limited and the liquidators of the firm, and also between Harry Winchester and Nelson Rattenbury and the estate of Nelson Rattenbury. In a 23 page judgment, the Nice- Chancellor pronounced on the case of N. Rattenbury Limited by John M. Rattenbury. llquldator, vs Harry Winchester and others. executors of the estate of Nelson Rattenhury which had been commenced before his predecessor, Vice-Chancellor A. E. Arsenault on Nov. 3. 1941. Reginald H. Rogers became liquid- ator on Feb. 18. 1960 on the death of John M. Rattenbury. The Court found that certain properties morleased by Nelson Rattenbury to Harry Winchester or to mortizasees who assigned to Harry Winchester were actually the property of N. Rattenbury Lim- ited although no deeds had been executed to the company. From the evidence of entries in the clay book. ledgers and journ- als of the company and testimony of Joseph Francis the Court held that Nelson Rattienbury hacl sold the properties to N. Rattenbury Limited and had consequently be- come a trustee of them for the company before executing subse- quent mortgages which -were there. fore declared null and void and ordered to be delivered up and cancelled, except where the prop- erty was now in the hands of a third Party without notice in which case an accounting of the proceeds was ordered. A mortgage from the liquidators 0! the company tol-lorry Win- chester was declared void so far as it represented personal indebtedness of Nelson Rattenbury. A 1935 mortgage by the company which was confirmed by the liquid- ators ill 1937 was upheld but an account ordered of the rents and profits of the property received by Harry Winchester. ,, Counsel for the complainant were Messrs. J.B. Johnston and l-f.F. MacPhee K.C.; for the defendants, Messrs W. E. Bentley, K. C.. and D. L. Mathieson KC.

Mectings were held with rperesentatives of the Department of Natural Resources. with the Federation of Agriculture direct- ors and with wholesalers, brokers. and other people interested and en- gaged in buying Island products. There are between fifteen and sixteen hurl.-dred full time farmers in Newfoundland. There is an es- timated 30.000 other part time farmer-fishermen who produce varying small amounts of vege- tables for sale. Because of very small areas suitable for farming- two acres of clear lastd is a big field in the St. Johns' area.-and because of small scale methods of farming and transportation prob- lems in winter those people are seriously affected when competit- ive products are imported at low prices. Now that Newfoundland is a province of Canada they cannot impose tariffs or make restrictions which they could previously. to protect those vegetables prices. Newfoundland is practically self sufficient in cobboges and turnips but, must import a small amount of other vegetables and about one third of their potato requirements. After many years of trading they definitely like Prince Edward 15- land butter, cheese, eggs, meats and other products. During the past few years though. they have been forced to accept considerable lo-w quality products from the province. This has greatly harmed the reputiation of our products and marketing system generally. Be- cause of this. Newfoundland peo- ple are looking more and more to Upper Canada for quality food supplies. However, general agree- ment was reached. as to how or- ganized marketing and dlstrlbutloll should be set up on both ends to assure them of only high quality Island products on a graded basis, The Federation in Newfoundland agreed that they, as farmers must organize their distribution system especially for vegetables to as- sure protection for their own mar- kets and to provide an opportun- ity for Island products to make up the shortages. There is a worthwhile market in St. John's for chilled meats, but- ter. e's'8s and cheese during the SUI1'IIl')'lel.' months providing we can supply it with high quality pro- ducts at regular mtervals. A meeting was held with Gov- ernment officials on return and the details of those plans were discussed. It is hoped that ar- rangements can be worked out in the near future by all concerned to implovo marketing conditions and methods and at the same time prepare to supply the tremendous -market. that should be ours. when the. recent mineral discoveries around Labrador are developed. The possibilities are great. They will be followed up. But in any plans that are made we must be sure that the control and the cost of distribution from producer to consumer is held within reason. Dairy Situation Mr. R. A. Profitt. our Island director on the Dairy Farmers of Canada returned yesterday from meetings with Mr. Gardiner in Ottawa. previous to the announce- ment of the new support price for butter. The general reaction of our farm people to this reduction is that they feel that the consumer is entitled to butter at a lower price than he has been paying for the last couple of years. At tfhc some time farmers have been pro- ducing butter at g, loss even last year compared to returns frcm other industries. This loss actual- ly works out to show where fami- ers have been bonuslnvg consum- ers about ten cents a pound on butter lust year. Farmers feel that the Government in the interests of the National Welfare and to protect our basic dairy industry was justified in lowering the but- ter price but should. not neglect the dairy producers in getting a fair return for their butter-fat. Recent information leads us to believe tllilt some of our friends. the large packers and storage op- ernlors in Crinada. not only have Among The Farmers E Federation of Agriculture laws I ed large quaptltiee of sheep but- tor horn other countries nd have been selling it in oompeti n with the Canadian storage buttnr. We hope to have more ii-' rmatiton on this point next. week. . Potato Picturo A brie! situation across the province yes- terday when checking prices, etc. indicates that there will be 1 much greater surplus of potatoes left when the shipping season is over then was expected. Many farmerz. in the outlying districts still havt their cellars full. Others who have sold. have not received enough to pay for their fertilizer and other production costs. At the same time feed prices are advancing with little or no sign of reduction st least until Fall.- It is hoped that everyone will realize the need for growing more cereal feeds and applying at lcasl e portion of their fertilizer to boy. genomes and mixed grains. Marketing Board Plan been concentrated on preparing the regulations and scheme for the potato marketlnlg board. Arrangements are being made to meet with representatives from Nova. sootlai. New Brunswlclr and Newfoundland next week to agree on a uniform scheme. No maltcr how complete this marketing Board attempt will be for the first year there will be some loopholes and unforeseen problems. However, if and when we can get the scheme into effect it will mean more stable markets, more unifoxm prices. and will have the effect of giving the small producer a. chance to move his crop in competition with those in more fortunate circumstances. H03! There is quite a demand for lit- tle pigs in Newfoundland. Buyers over there have been advised to buy little pigs on the basis of weight rather than age because they have met considerable losses in the past. If we are to hold this market, quality and case in shipping must not be forgotten. Fishermen in the Newfoundland coastal villages are in the habit of buying young pigs in the spring, fattening them and killing them in the fall for winter food sup- plies. The demand recently has been quite strong and they are willing to pay a fairly high price for good quality young pigs. There have been no new devel- opments in the hog market recent- ly. According to official sources however, it is not expected that the British quota will be filled be- fore June 30th and those who should know predict that.the pres- cnl: floor price will carry on as least until the quota is 'filled.
