Eugene Cullen, Min- isier of Industry and Resources. informed the Legislature yester- day. speaking on the Draft Address. Mr. Cullen said the Department is particularly concerned with protecting the fishermen's inter- esis. so that they will reap the chief benefit if the draggera prove successful. Recently the I-"ishermen's Loan Board regulations were amended to provide that only bona fide fishermen can obtain loans from the Board. In the case of a com- pany or co-operative seeking to acquire a dragger. 51 per cent of the shares must be held by not less than four fishermen. This Ls in line with the Dominion reg- ulations governing the subsidy payment. 80 Percent Deposit in making application to the Board, the company or co-opere- tive must deposit 30 per cent of the cost. The Dominion subsidy is given at the rate of 8185 per ton. amounting in most cases to about 86.300. The total cost of I Cara- quet dragger. similar to those employed in New Brunswick, is $28,000. The deposit would there- fore amount to 88.400. The dragger subsidy of $6.300 could be ap- plied to the deposit. leaving an amount of $2.100 to be paid by the fishermen. Another $300 would be required for a net, making I iolal payment by the fishermen of $2,400. A group of five men could launch themselves in I dresser on payii"l€nt"“'of about 3500 each. "We are not entirely convinced that these draggers are the answer ‘*3 0111’ Problem." Mr. Cullen said. Continued on mac ii col. 8 Hopes To Sell Surplus Buiier OTTAWA.

An eye index- ina imaraln on the McIntyre is being carried on at present in the sreenhouee at the Experimental Farm from which the quantity of P0383065 Will be built up to meet the demand. Officials at the Farm are at- tempting to stick to the‘etrain of the Mclntyre with the blue eye end in their efforts to develop the variety for certification. This strain is known as the white skin- ned variety. The other strain of the potato is blue on over. Newfoundinnd Market A market already waiting for some of the McIntyre potatoes is » Newfoundland. Mr. W. E. Ag-new, Director of Trade. reports that he has often been asked for this var- iety by Ne-wfoundlanders and that recently a man was making in- quiries about a car load to be de- livered this spring. Potatoes from various parts of the Island are used in the eye in- dexing plan at the Farm. A num- bered set from each potato has been planted in the Green House and partialiy_gi-own during the winter TM potatoes whose sets are disease 11'“ Ind measure up to qualifica- tions will be returned to the farm- ers and planted in the spring. In this way the quantity will be built up and tiie Mclntyre potato will be certified and eventually recognized as I certified variety. The same procedure was used in recent years here in developing the Sebago variety. Although grown on I fairly large scale here at one time their acre- age has greatly diminished during the past years since the introduc- tion of the Mountains. Cobblers and other varieties. Nevertheless they have remained popular with many oonsumers and several farin- ers have continued to grow the old Blues. 140 Sieers Entered For Sioc_ii_Show AMHERST, N.

March 6 —(special)— Prospects are bright for increasing Canada's exports of seed potatoes to Venezuela, Tracie Minister Howe was informed todayby C. s. Bissett. Canadian Trade stationed at Caracas, that country. Reason for the exipected boost in Venezuela's seed potato eioports is that agricultural labor in that country is very scarce owing to boo.-n conditions in the oil and iron ore industries. Even farmers have capital of OTTAWA. March 6 — (CP) -- 'I'.J. Kickham (L —- Kings) said tonight in the Commons that the Provincial Governments of Vtic Maritimes could help bone ilde potato growers by imposing a le\')' on potato acreage. He said during continued debate on the speech from the throne that he would like to see a support price placed under potatoes for one year only to permit stabilization of the industry. But he felt that suppoit prices in the long run encouraged speculators to over produce. ‘ A levy on acreage was one means of controlling production. I-le sulf- gestcd that provincial governments collect a levy of $25 an acre where more than 100 acres were sown; no on 50 to 100 acres: :15 on 25 to 50 acres; 310 on 20 to 26 acres. He would collect no levy on acre- age under 20. Mr. Kickham said that if the levy was imposed. it would work out well for bona fide farmers. He called on the government to give Prince Edward lsand a fair share of Ii'ede"nl ‘government grants. The Island did not receive anything from grants to gold min- ing, to farmers under the Prairie Nfld. Member Threatens To Resign, Seat Unless Freight Rates Revised OTTAWA, March 6-—(CP)—Gor- don Higgins (PC—£t. John's East) said today in the Cosn.mon's that he will resign ‘his seat and try -to,.get Newfoundland to secede from confederation unless the gov- ernment keeps its word to give the new Province the some freight rates treatment as the Maritime Provinces. Mir. Higgins suggested that all Newfoundland members should re- sign unless the agreement on freight rates was honored by the goverrmient. ' ’I'.G.W. Ashbourne (L — Grand Falls-White Bay) suggested Mr. Higgins speak for himself. Mr. Higgins said he would speak for himself. As far as he was con- cerned he would resign his seat if the freight rates agreement was not kept. He would go bac’.:toNe-w- found-land and do all he could to get. the province to secede from confederation . speaking in the Thronespeech debate, Mr. Higgins said the Province. which joined confedera- tion March 31. last. will have to ap- piy soon for an upward revision of the terms. It was evident, that Canada was receiving benefits which were not even mentioned before the Island joined confederation. Csnsdn now Dr. Sander Gives Evidence At.

Dr. mlgpriir mesa whet I tboiliii was selling in Newfoundland 340.- 000.000 worth more goods than in pre-confederation days when many imports came from the United States. The people in the new Province needed many things he said. The veterans wanted an increase in the war veterans allowances. Persons around the airport at Gander wanted repeal of I provision which prohibited any new building with- in five miles of the airport. As a result of that "ridiculous” provision persons were paying $110 a month to live in converted bar- racks. , He also has received requests for better old-age pensiom without the means test. Mr. Higgins said he wished to reiterate what he said last year about the need of is coastguard for the east coast. The need now was as urgent as ever. He noted that three of the six Senate seats to which Newfound- land is entitled have not yet been filled. He suggested that Prime Minister st. Laurent follow the precedents set when other new Provinces joined confederation and select candidates outside of party i nes. He called for removal of the duty on books from the United States. The Nosrf people bad to pay duty since joining confedereb on. Turning to unemployment. he said the situstion in Newfoundland is bleak. Unemployment is high and the prospects are not bright. About 10.000 persons now were on direct relief projects.

Com-misaloner ' Market A Prospects In Venezuela . left their holdings to work in the ollfieids and iron mines at high wages currently being paid. This has caused a shortage of basic food commodities and led to a gen- erai increase in food imports. Venezuela, the official report, of the trade commissioner states, is highly prosperous at present and its markets for imported food- stuffs are very strong. Since Venezuelan oil and iron is being paid for in United States dollars. Venezuela pays for its imports in this currency when desired.

The Island needed grants toward education and toward things that would keep Prince Edward Island- ers from emigrating to Upper can- ada. Mr. Kickham called for abolition of the $2.50 annual licence fee on radio sets. He suggested that the sales tax be increased to meet CBC needs. He called for a campaign to ei- courage fish consumption in can- ada and asked the government to undertake works to aid the fisher- men in his constituency. He said he had received many requests from his constituents for abolition of the old-age pension means test, some wanted the elig- ible age reduced from 10 to 65 years.

ON GOV’T .7“ win?” A lSchoo1s ‘Act Amended Confidence Molions For Larger Rural Units Before House By Don Gilbert. LONDON, March 6 —(CP) ‘ Wlmton Churchill tonight flint a challenge At the shaky Laibor Government only a few hours after Britain's newly-elected Parliament had met for the first time. The Conservative leader tabled amendments to the address in re- ply to the Speech from the Throne regretting the Speech's failure to refer to the future of the iron and steel industry or to measures to ease the housing shortage. The motions will be put to a vote between now and next Monday. Debate began today after a glitter- ing ceremony in which the King read is speech outlinirg a non- controversial program of legislat- ion. Labor has an over—all majority of seven seats in the 65-member House and can turn back the Con- servative assault provided it has the full support of its followers. Will Not. Backtrack While the Throne Speech avoid- ed any reference to the iron and steel industry, Prime Minister At- tlce made clear in the House to- day that Labor did not intend to backtrack on its nationalization plans. "There is nothing to be done in the matter immediately. but that act is on the statute book and our purpose is to give effect to acts passed by Parliament." he said during debate. He reminded the House that the state corporation which would run the industry cannot be appointed until October. while the actual take-over cannot take place before Jan, 1. 1951. If the government wished. it could delay action stili further. The act. passed by the last Parlia- ment. in which Labor had a 148- member majority. provides that the take-over need not be effected for n f-ull year after that date. It is generally agreed that by that time mother general election will have been held. OI:-ry Fight To Labor The issue was brought into the debate by Anthony Eden; deputy Conservetive leader. "The country has pronounced agaimt nationalization and in our judgment that goes for iron and steel also." he said. Chin-chill tabled the amendments after is meeting of the conservat- ives’ "shadow cabinet." wihlcih evidently decided to waste no time in carrying the fight to Labor. One amendment will express re- gret that the “ "contains no reference to the future of the iron and steel industry." The second amendment will say that there is a "continuing decline" in the number of new “ built each year by the Labor Gov- ernment. and that the Throne Sipeeoh "contains no indication that the gov». intends to take more effective measures to deal with the situation." Churchill will take part him- self ln the debate tomorrow. So will Clement Davies, leader of the Liberal Party which has nine seals. He is expected to give some hint of where his party will cast their support. It is not known when the Con- servative amendments will be put to ,ihe vote. The House listened attentively as Aiilee answered various criti- cisms made by Eden. The Prime Minister said he took "full responsibility" for Bri- tain's security forces. in which __:__:_..__._——-— outlined on mac 11 Col. 0) German Generals Head New Military Movement By GEORGE BOULTWOOD BONN. March 0 -- (A?) Three generals of the old German geneiui staff have started a cam- paign to restore the German of- ficer corps io lu former glory. The self-appointed committee of three has close contacts with the federal government and\ links with former officers all over Germany. Disclosure of this group came amid reports of increasing activi- ties by former Wehrmacht veter- ans through West Germany. High Cominiuioner John J. McCloy of the United states has said Allied Igenls are investigating an under- ground military movement.

March 6 —(CP)— A by-election has been ordered in the Nova Scotta. federal con- atituency of Annapolis-Kings, the Speaker told the Commons today. Angus Elder-kin who - has been sitting as Liberal member for that riding since the June 27 general election, was not in his seat when speaker Ross Maodonald made the statement. The House received copies of a Nova scotia supreme Court ruling declaring MI.‘ Eliderklns ' “ void. The supreme Court decision came as the result of protests by George Nowlan. Progressive Con- sex-vatlve candidate. that 130 of the 197 service votes cast should not have been cast in that riding. The Speaker's declaration that the seat is vacant leaves the Com- mons standing this way: Liberals 1&8; Progressive Con- servatives 40; CC F. 1.’); Social Credit 10; Independent 5: Inde- pendent Liberal 3; vacancies 3. The vacancies are Annapolis- Kings. Toronto Bi-oadview. and l-lamliton West. No indication was given of when the by-election will be held. The government has six months in which to announce the date. after veterans affairs. Their os- tensible aim is to get regular oi- ficera pensions restored. The lead- er is one-time corps commander Geri. Frizi Koch. Late in January some 40 generals and senior officers met in Stutt- gart io study the formation of an organization to further pen- sion claims. Allied officials said. Just what connection. if any. ex- isu among the underground group. Koch‘: committee and the Stutt- gart meeting is not known.
