Minor Political Tempest Touched Off By inlpfloris By GEORGE KITCHEN WASHINGTON, Feb. e _ (ca) — The humble Canadian potato today hit the front pages of up. ited States newspapers. It became the centre of a minor political tempest. with congress- men and American potato inter- ests demanding that its importation into the United States be curtailed lest it serve to undermlne the Governments potato price-support program. They agreed. generally, that. im- porting Canadian potatoes into the United States, a country which is literally giving them away in an effort to unload Government-held surpluses. Just: doesn't make sense. The Canadian potato was thrust. into the political limelight two clays ago when a New Orleans inl- porter reported that: he was able to bring ill Canadian spuds and under-sell the American stock bc-r cause of their low price. He brought in 1.000.000 pounds. His report came at a time when the United States Government was taking steps to destroy 50,000,000 bushels of surplus American pota- toes accumulated through its price-support. policy. The Govern- ment bought the supplies as a sup- port measure and now ls unable to dispose of them. Growers In Picture The powerful National Potato Council. a. non-governmental body representing potato grwers through- out the United States. hopped into the picture today with a state- ment demanding that the Govern- ment “regulate" the importation of the Canadian product. Congressmen from potato-growing areas also entered the fray, but their contributions were more of a criticism of the government's price- support operations than an attach on Canadian potatoes. Senator Owen Brewster tRep. Me) whose state produces about one-sixth of the American crop. said half the surplus problem would be solved “if the President would exercise his power to stop these lmports." "We cut. our production l0 per cent last year and New Brunswick. growers increased theirs by that, amount," he declared. 1' Already Regulated What. the Council and the Con- gressmen dld not note was that importation of Canadian potatoes already is regulated to a degree through a 1048 Canadian-Anlericail potato agreement. ‘This arrangement provides that. Canadian growers may export to the United States market each year 2.5'.‘t).000 bushels 0f seed pota- toes and 1.000.000 bushels of taSe potatoes at a reduced duly of 371i cents it hundredweight - h:l!f of the regular duty of 70 cents. Imports beyond those amounts bear full duty. In the period from Sept. i. 1940. to Jail. 3i. i050. Canada shipped 3.35800 bushels of seed and 1.827- 000 of table stock to the United States market. Of these 858.000 bu- shels of seed and 627.000 of table stock came at full duty; the re- (Cbntiniled on Page 5 Col. Iii Report New Production Records For Margarine OTTAWA.

Feb. 9 -—(CP) — A ‘big "if" may mean the difference btclvecil price support. or no price support for Canada's egg industry, an agricultural source said today. The industry has been informed in a Governmemt directive t-hat it must be prepared at any time to sell eggs in storage to Government representatives. If the trade doesn't. then the Government will withdraw price-support protection. The reason for this move. said the informant. is that the Govern- ment. llnaiy at any time contract. t0 ship eggs to some foreign country, perhaps even the United Kingdom. It wants to make certain that should such a contract b6 conoiiud- ed. it will be able to buy the eggs at "reasonable" prices from the domestic trade. lie said the industry could be asked to sell eggs in storage with the Government paying the 38- cent-n-dozen support price "plus a rcnsonobic hrofit.“ "I-f t-ho trader declines to hand Over the eggs, he will not be aible to cla-‘m price-support at tihe end of the year." Although the United Iiilugdc-nl has lhdlflltcd willingness to buy eggs from the United States, so far it has made no move to renew purchases ill Canada. Interest In Eggs However. other countries, such as SWliZCTlfliifl, Venezuela. Colom- bla. the British West. Indies. Jotpan. I-Iaiivaii iultl Alaska. are showing greater interest in Canadian eggs this year. ‘ They are buying shell 828s in "folr quantities" and this may iflko up some cf the export slack caused by the ending of the Anglo-Canadian egg contract. last year. In Washington. Senator Elbert D Tilcilnas. Uiall Democrat. said Britain is interested ill buying some of the 710000.000 pounds of dried eggs which the lillited States has placed oil the giveaway lifii- lie made public a. letter from William Poster. acting admin- istrator of the Economic. (‘n-Op- eration Administration, which said Britain has indicated a willingness to spend about 53.000000 for dried eggs. A final agreement has not yet been reached. Sales Tax For N.

OPOSAL Folltrwillg a two-day conference. between officials of the Canadian‘ National Railways and the Pro- vincial Government on the sub- ject of co-ordinating rail, busand truck services in the Province. ihu following statement was is-. sued last night by Premier J.l Waller Jones: l "I: was agreed that. the railway delegation would submit their propositions in the form of a wrlt- i lc-n brief, not later Iltl Fc-brualgv 1T, and that the Government of Prince Edward Island would make a written reply soon thereafter. ‘ "While the offer looks attract-l ivc a‘. first. it will require carc-~ ful study of its long-term effects." i Questions Involved ll is understood that the Gov- ernment, while desirous of as- lslsling ln every ilvay to expedite railway plans for more efficient service. is much concerned also ,witil the question of highway control. and with the position of private bus and truck operators ‘in the event of the railway scheme going through. At pre- senrt these operators are serving the fanning communities extens- ively. and this service will have to be safeguarded under any arrangement. entered into. The ideal solution from the Government standpoint, it is understood, would be to have the railway make arrangements with the private operators to provide the bus and truck services they require. This would entirely eliminate the question of diivided jurisdiction and leave the oper- ators. as at present. under control of the Provincial authorities. The railway proposal is for a franchise to operate their own trucks and buses on their‘ present train schedules. They are not asking for exclusive truck arid bus franchise. but the question as to the position in which private operators would be placed in the oven-t of railway competition on the highways is one which the Government must consider. Highway Control The question of jurisdiction is also serious. In reality the Fed- eral Board of Transport Commis- sioners have no control over pro- vincial higil-way operations, but railways which do highway busi- ness have to'fiie all their sched- ules and tariffs with this Board. The existence o-t this provision might conceivably involve claims for control by a Federal author- ity over a matter which. under the British North America Act, i: l i iwirld." Lee wrote. Ho added that. though tactically strong. Russian bombers were of limited range and coilid not. bomib North American cities. The Soviet Air Force has no long-range bombers capable of ca.rr,viiig the atomic bomb more than 1.000 miles and therefore could not strike North American cities unless it could get bases in Greenland.

In the Maritime Provinces truck rites are not actually set by provincial boards, althougi there is legislation available fol this purpose. N0 franchise ii required here by truck operators, and C. N.

Franchises must be obtained, and operators mu! filo their schedules with tht Provincial Board of Public Util itics. which exercises constant control over their activities Would this control be challenges under railway operation, and tho thin edge oi’ the wedge be in- serted for undesirable Federal in. lerferencc? Coming up shortly is the ques- tion of trans-Canada highway agreements which underlines thil issue. It is necessary for ever!

Another question involved l that of passenger insurance rates. Both railway and basses amic- guard their patrons in this re- spect, but the former operntt under the liability clauses o! the Railways Act. tile latter under provincial legislation. The rates are different. Bus fares are u a rule cheaper than railway fares. although in this Province the fare from SDUFIS to Borden. for ex- ample. is cheaper by rail be- cause the rail-way sells only coach.
