liowe Concedes Loss Of Liberal Prestige

PORT ARTHUR, Oct. M-(CPl- Reconstruction Minister Howe told the Port Arthur Liberal As- sociation last night that defeat in three lay-elections has hurt the Dominion Government's prestige in the country but it should give

lstmtion’: fate in Parliament- where the Opposition seldom vot- ed as a body on any major issue.

Speaking at the Association's annual meeting. Mr, Howe said the Government had suffered be- cause of the "distressed" state of mind of the public. Strikes, lack of housing and shortages of other essential materials had brought on discontent reflected in the temper of the times.

"But I wouldn't feel too badly about the effect of these by-elec- tionr when thinking about the future of the Liberal party," he advlred.

Ottawa Officials And Local Oealers In Potato Huddle

Messrs, B. (Cf-Stephenson C. Robertson, representing

suiting with local potato dealers respecting the effects of the pro- posed floor prices on table stock potatoes. Neither officials dealers however are communicative on the subject.

‘The visit of Messrs. Stevenson and Robertson to the Province is the result of the decision announ- ced Oct. l7 by the Dominion De- partment of Agriculture to support the potato market in the surplus- produclng provinces of New Bruns- wick and Prince Edward Island.

Mr. J. G. Taggart, chairman of the Agricultural Prices Support Board. said the price support would be provided by two methods, The first would give the grower $1.00 per 100 pounds (or sixty cents a bushel) for no 1 grade table pota- toes delivered to the starch fac- tories o-r other processing plants. and the second method would allow the grower a price next spring of tI-oo per ‘is pounds. The latter price, it is said, is about equivalent to 45 cents per bushel now, Allowing 15 cents for the cost of the bag, and 10 cents more per bag for hauling. loading, and commission. the net price to the grower would be 75 cents per bag or 60 cents per bushel. As ihcre is considerable shrinkage and other weight losses due to other causes most growers esti- mate that 45 cents now for their salable potatoes is equivalent to 60 cents next spring. . There are three starch factories in the Province. One is located at Hunter River, another at Murray Harbour, and the third at or near Baltic. It is understood the present market price for table stock pota- toes is from 68 to 7O cents par bushel. The problem of putting the new floor regulation into effect with- out glutti-ng the starch factories is a difficult one, but hope is ex- pressed that it will work out sat- lsfactorily.
