Suggestions by speakers that the Canadian Natiouafltcsniships be asked to give a blanket export rate to the Maritime Provinces on prcdubta shipped from any point in the three provinces to destinations in the Wqt Indies featured the opening of the thirty-sixth meeting of the Maritime Board of Trade today.

Among the first speakers were G. H. Ward, Secretary ol the Cau- adlan Chamber of Commerce in Great Britain: Ilon- MicliaeLDwycr, Minister of Public Works and Mines for Nova Scotia; W. W. Hubbard, -Presldcnt cf the Fredericton Board of Trade and President of the New Brunswick Fruit f‘ s Association; R. l.

George B. Olshd, President of the Maritime Board, was in the chair, and the visitors, were wei- comed by Mayor J. W. Brittain, who emphasized that the gathering "is of the utmost importance." The Mayor dealt briefly with

DENIES NAZI NATIDNA I. CHURCH AIM

(A. P. By Guardian's flaeciai Wire)

BERLIN. Oct. Z-f-Dr. August JMBsr, Nazi co oner for Prussiab Protestant Churches. to- day roundly denied he is trying to force all Germany's faithful into one national church.

“This claim," he said emphatic- ally." is 100 percent untrue.

"Personally, I have never used the term ‘national church‘. The fight within the church ill solely one of external order.”

His denial, ostensibly meant to oil the waters troubled by the Reich's newest religious storm. was in direct contradiction, however, of previous Nazi statements as to the Sbvemmentks intentions.

Reiohsbishop Ludwig Mueller, fo- cal point of the rebellion spreading to Protestants and Catholics alike, said at Hanover last month:

"Every one should be forced in- to Nlizi ranks even though he does not quite understand National So- cialism-me same applies to pas- torafr .

Mueller urged state intervention to unite all churches under the Reich. A similar demand had been voiced at Stuttgart by Jaeger four days before.

With the acrimonious church controversy tossed squarely into the lap of Reichsfuehrer Chancellor Hitler, Jaegefs repudiation of ear- llsr par-iv tenets led to the belief that the Chancellor even though he sides with Mueller and Jseger, will try to reassure the oppositlonh fol- lowing that no interference with the articles of faith is intended.

Hitler's stand with Mueller was hinted in announcement that bish- ops he ahd Jaeger have appointed will be sworn in Thursday. Tile Reichsfuehrer will deliver an ad- dress in connection with the cere- monies nt which. it is expected. ha will define the government's attit- ude toward churches.

equality to representatives of the United States, as they had done in meetings with the British yesterday. No action was token and no official statements were issued. but it seem- ed obvious that a long and knotty discussion faced the representatives of the world's three leading naval powers.

Both the British and the Ameri- cans are distinctly cool towards the sweeping Japanese proposals, so far as could be seen. They feel that the existing treaties already contain suf- ficient guarantees for equality in security. Japan would weep away the existing treaties and replace them with an entirely new structure.

Firm Stand

In a nutshell, Japan is firm in de- termination to remove the existing ratio basis. on which naval categor- ies of Britain, the United States and Japan are fixed on a 5-5-3 ratio res- pectively. If the other powers will not join hei- in abrogating the Wash. ington Treaty, then she will abrogate

OTTAWA, Oct, 24—New regulations covering fhq grading of potatoes are being threslied out at the confer- ence of growers and dealers from five provinces meeting here. The regulations will likely be brought into effect under a marketing scheme and enforced by a marketing board of 11 members.

Today the delegates to the conference met the Domin- ion Marketing Board and submitted their proposed mar- keting scheme. The Board suggested a few changes mostly] in the nature of the addition of certain details and the delegates met again to alter the scheme in accordance with! the suggestions.

Where the trouble comes in is in the Japanese proposal to divide nav- al armaments into offensive and dc- fensive classes.

She demands recognition of the principle of equality in defensive armaments, and abolition or considerable reduc- tion in the offensive classes.

Potatoes in number two and number three grades would be practically barred from the market under the proposed new grading regulations. Number two potatoes would not be permitted to move in interprovincial trade nor in intra- provincial trade for sale in cities and towns. Number three potatoes would be completely barred from the markets.

' Board The proposed potato marketing board would consist of two mem- bers from each of the five Eastern Provinces with the secretary of the Horticultural Council of Canada as chairman- Besdies marking the usual regu- lations under the Natural Products Marketing Act regarding the place and time of marketing and the quantity and quality to be market- ed by any producer the board would be empowered to appoint agents to report on the possibility of extending the market for Can- adian potatoes. The latter provision is included with a. view to finding markets abroad. With a crop 7,500,000 bush- els larger than last year Canadian growers are this year confronted with an almost total lack of foreign markets. The United States mar- ket is closed by reason oi’ a tariff and a bumper crop there and the Cuban market is likewise closed by

Unofllcially both British and Uni- ted States ccnferees intimated they were far from pleased with the Jap- anese ldea. Thus far however tile Japanese have failed to present de- tailed proposals containing specific figures. These will be necessary be- fore opinions may be formed. The general impression was that in the view of the British and Americans. the Japanese have not yet made out a sufficient case for abrogation of present-treaty limitations. or pro- duced a substitute worthy of objec- tive consideration.

In any event nothing decisive can be done in the present negotiations, which are merely intended to lay the groundwork for the naval conference tentatively scheduled for January. or, in the event of serious difficul- ties, to consider whether the confer-

ence may be called at all. a tariff which gives United States

A number of small markets in other parts of the world might be tapped with profit, experts believe, if provisiozrwere made for investi- gating them and making the ne- cessary contacts. A trial shipment of Canadian potatoes was sent to EKYPB recently from New Brunswick and word has been received that it met with a favorable reception. A further con- signment was requested.
