A difficult situation would arise when subsidies were dropped. _He also felt there was false optimism regarding the position of Canadian dairy products in the British nrarket following the war. "We should not take it too much for granted that because we have done ‘a ratkher credditablle‘ jog ‘of supplyng c eese an o er ory products to Britain during the war that we shall automatically have an assured market there," he stated.

Certainly with Russian spur. heads leu than 150 miles from Berlin at two or more points and mu rolling, the mass of German strategic reserves must be moving eastward.

A few minutes later, her coun- sel also announced an appeal to a higher court would be made in her c se.
