There, they were received by the Hon. J. L. Balaton who assisted them in getting an interview with the Hon. J.G. Gard.- ner, Dominion Minister of Agri- culture. Mr. Bouiter told the Federation the refusal oi Mr. Gardiner to do anything for them was not entire- ly unexpected. He realized such a question was one for the whole Government to decide. At the some time. Mr. Boulter said. the Dom- inion Minister of Agriculture was wrong in laying the blame ior the loss of the Island potato ., to the lack of transportation. 1.11s scarcity oi cars was a. feature. but he had pointed out to Mr. Gardiner that during the months of January and February. i944, Island potato shippers could get- no " to ship to US. markets. Ontario and Quebec potato growers kept their potatoes in storage for a Ms and June price while land EOEBBCOH were going on their mar- c . . . . strenuous efforts by the Feder- ation of Agriculture have. in the meantime. closed large gap between y and June price ceilings so that the Island grower will receive fairer treatment in the future, Mr. Boulter said. It will no longer pay to keep potatoes in storage. 1 The situation is vastly improved this year. and the improvement is largely due to the strong protests made over the “trimming" the Island potato growers took a year ago.

Willi partial relaxation “of the censorship black-cut on Alllsd pro- Bfcsl across the Cologne plain. It is clear that German retention of any loft-bank footholds on the Rhino except possible defensive bridgoheads cannot be for long. Such west-bani: stands before Cologne itself. Dusseldorf, Duisburg and Wcael would be tho natural patfern for German attempts to thwart or delay indefinitely Allied attempts to jump the Rhino and get on with the war. Each is a. focal point of trans-Rhino commflnlpgflpng go; 1h, foe whether for defence of the river lln or for escape beyond it. and a no less inviting target for Allied bombs; and long-range guns. What is not clear is whethor any substantial part of the estimated 15 or more enemy divisions clutched in the fast developing Alllgd was. bank trap can escape. With American capture oi Mnsnchon-Gladbach the gap between the lat Canadian Army closing in from the north and the Americana of the 0th driving up from the south has been reduced to hardly more than 20 mlles and Dusseldorf’: bridges ' light undel- American gun fire. y The Rhino itself along its whole northward sweep from Bonn to the iil-milc-wido segment of the left bank now hold by tho 1st Cana- dian Army is the moat formidable natural barrier Allied troops have faced since they started across the Channel for . ‘y. It aver- ages in width normally anywhere from S00 to 000 feet and under flood conditions in the north la far wider. Just how or where Gen. Eisenhower's staff has planned to croag It remains to be seen. The alternative to frontal attempt! to cross the Rhine when it is reached along its Cologne plain span would be in turn it from the north or south. The Germans long ago destroyed tho dikes to flood the Neth- erlands lowlands that border the Neder Rhino and tho Iisael switch lilac east of Amhcm. Thsy are still clinging to the north bank of the Dutch Rhino at right angles to the main battle front all the way to the North Sea, however. in obvious fear, of a sweeping Allied fuming movement northeastern Holland. Upstream from Cologne the Rhino la not subject to flood but the high ground all along both banks makes it n hardly less formidable military obstacle than the lower river. So for as front line accounts have yet revealed the tion on that sector, the of and , , ‘ fortlfl " upcn whhh the German command In the west seems to have rolled heavily has proved inadequate to hold back tile 3rd Army largely due to tho character of the forces assigned to man them. That may prove an important item. Ousted from their fixed de- fences those rag-tag enemy reserves would be of little defensive value in field ‘ ‘ ‘ 3rd Army unless they are backed up with seasoned troops.
