Mr. MacDonald has just return- ed from spending several days in the potato growing areas of New Brunswick. and while in that Province he attended a meeting of the New Brunswick Potato Marketing Board where market- ing problems for the balance of this year and probabilities for next year were fully discussed. I " would seem that from the inrfonmation available potato acre. age in New Brunswick will be re- duced at least 30 per cent. and Island growers would be well ad- vised to plan for a similar reduc- tion." Ml'.' MacDonald says. "Prof- itable price-levels for potatoes cannot be tmtalncd under similar conditions that existed during the past season when there was a sur- plus production in Canada and the United States of almost 100.- 000.000 bushels. ”in order to assure fair returns for next year's crop production in our two countries should be re- duced by at least 26 per cent. Present indications are that Am- erican production although some- what reduced from last year may still result in an over production for next year. According to Am- erican Government statistics. acre- use of potatoes in the summer Rroup of States is 20 per cent less than last year. "The early crop in Florida was better than expected and most at Florida production has already been marketed and already some potatoes from the Southern States are finding their way into the markets in Central Canada. which is having a detrimental etfect on the marketing of the balance of last year's crop. price for Starch Program Helpful "The starch program in New Brunswick and Prince Edward Is- land has been very helpful and has rendered invaluable assist- ance towards prevcnting the com- plcie collapse of our potato mar- ket since last March.

Bradley testified for six days be- fore the Senate armed services and foreign relations committees in their investigation of Gen. Doug- las MacArthuris removal from his Far Eastern commands. In his final hours of testimony. Bradley said he agreed "from a mil- ltary point of view" that President Truman was right in firing: Mac- Arthur. Ho admitted the method of removivg him "probably cnllld have been handled better." And he agreed with MacArthur that the question of admitting Communist China to the United Nations should not be considered in negotiating sett' it of the Korean war. Bradley disclosed that casualties among I15. forces in Korea total 141,955. more than twice the num- ber reported by the Defence De- partment three days ago. The ear- lier figure did not include non- battle casualties. Bradley explained that the non- battle casualty figure includes many men in hospital for short periods, although it also includes more ser- ious cases. resulting in death. He said 85 per cent of the non-battle casualties have returned to duty. Bradley said he was "not too sure the Russians are going to start something in Iran before they start it somewhere else." He said there have been no military discussions with Britain on the question of in- tervening in the turbulent Middle liaalern country.

(op) - The armed forces are hiring civil- ians by the thousands to free ser- vieemen to prepare for war and be- cause they cost less than men in uniform. Defence Minister Claxton said today. The average other rank cost 33,200 a year all told while a civilian averaged only 32.300. As the Commons swung back Into debate on the Defence Depart- ment's record 31.600.000.000 budget. the Minister said the number of civilians now employed is nearing 30,000 fast and will probably hit 35.000 by the year's end. Factors beyond the department's control - including Korea-largely would de- termine the final total. By March 31 next. and of the fis- cal year. there should be "consid- erably lnore" than 125,000 service- men and civilians working on de- fence full-time, he said, less than 25.000 short of the 1954 target of the three-year military program Canada has undertaken.
