PARJS. Oct. The speech od Smuts before the plenary session of the peace conference appears to have contributed to a notable lesening of tension here as the conference races toward its con- clusion.

The view expressed todsy by the 70-year-old South African Prime Minister that the confer- ence has been successful had an important impact on many dele- gates. some of whom had become completely cynical about its pro- gress. ~

But when the Field Marshal. the only man here who also was at Versailles, came out flatly and said that "answers have been found here to what appeared to be insoluble questions," and that on the whole the conference did not need to achievements. a good many pes- simistic delegates began to revise their gloomy opinions.

A British spokesman applaud- ing the speech said it was the addreu “of a thoughtful man who never allows himself to get too close to the conference."

The Canadian delegation also seemed more cheerful than prev- lously. Most Canadians feel the Council oi’ Foreign Ministers will accept a good many recommen- dations from the conference.

‘The view also was expressed in Canadian circles that the con- lference in bringing out the full extent of cleavages between the Siav group and the west caused

School Research Director Making Survey In P.E.I.

Thirty thousand Canadian lohool children. for one reason or another, are absent from school during each day of the regular school term. according to Dr. A. J. Phillipa, ‘Toronto, national di-r- ector or the study of School Health Research. who arrived in Charlottetown yesterday.

Sponsored the Education As Canadian Public Health Associa- tlorl. the financial support for the study of the causes of absenteeism on the part of school children has been provided by the Canadian Life Insurance Officers’ Asocla- tlon who are donating a yearly grant of 810.000 for carrying on the work.

The responsibility of making an exhaustive coaat-to-coast survey of Canadian-school conditions has fallen upon Dr. Phillips who is now on an official tour which will take him across Canada and to‘ the capitals and many of the lurker cities in every Province. He has already visited Hall x and Fredericton and will leav Char- lottetown tomorrow for his next stop at Quebec City.

Accurate Check Kept ' The method used by the Na-

tional Committee for School Health Research is to have 24 rural and 2d urban teachers in

every Province keep an accurate report on scientifically-designed charts furnished them by the Na- tional Committee. The work done voluntarily bv the teachers and Dr. Phillips states that with- out this voluntary work on the part of the teachers it would be impossible for the Committee to secure the necessary data which to base their findings.

The chart when filled-out by the teacher will enable any one to see at a glance the total num- ber o-f school days lost by any pupil of that particular school. It will also indicate whether the causes were medical or non- medical. If medical. it will show whether the cause was the com- mon cold. sore throat. influenza. bronchitis. tonsolitis. sinus. diges- tive disorders. eve or ear condi- tion. dental condition. scarlet fever, mumps. measles. chicken pox. or other diseases. 1f the cause were non-medical. the chart will show whether it was the inclement weather which kept the pupil home or whether he was needed for home help. If the child is practising truancy or if rnrental neglect is responsible for the absence, those causes will be shown.

The analysis will cover the school life of 20.000 Canadian school children. Based or? s na- iiorlal school population of 2.- 000000. the study Will qnbrace one per cent of the school p00- ulalion. D1‘. Phillips says that that percentage is considered suf- ficient to give a fairly accurate picture of the real causes of school absenteeism.

After the survey haa been care- fully unalvud. the findings will be fog-worded to the nine Provin- cial departments of education in Canada. Dr. Phillips pointed out that the means for cutting down school absenteeism is solely in the hands of those departments and that his Committee has no auth- omv to rectify any nf the evils.

Last night Dr~ Phillips addres- sed the Normal School teachers at Prince of Wales College and this afternoon will address the “respective teachers who are now tgking an intensive short course at the Normal School-

P.E.I. Growers Harvesting Five And A Half Million Bushels Of Seed Potatoes

Within the next three weeks the unprecedented crop of laproxi- mately five million and a half bushels of seed potatoes will be dug in this Province, according 1o Mr. S. G. Peppin, Dolrrinlon sup- ervisor of seed potato certifica- tion. Mr. Peppin bases his esti- mates on a seed-potato acreage of 31.700 which, he says, should give an average yield per acre of 175 bushels,

The dlggi-ng of Irish Cobblers is now in full swing. Mr. Peppin says. with Katahdins in King's all-o being dug in some sections.

Late blight, which at one time was feared might have a serious effect on the yield, has been com- paratively light and the overall] damage from that disease should not amount to more than one per cent of the crop. Mr. Peppin said.

Fields Still Green

Practically all fields of Green Mountains and Sabigoes are still green and it would "be a gori- scnd if a heavy frost were to kill every potato-top in the Provmcc wi-thln the next day or two," Mr. Peppin said. He explained his statement by saying that many

Freedom Df Sohaotls Short-lived

STUTTGART, Oct. 7—(CP)— l-ljalmar Schadst. Adolf Hit- ler's former Minister of Eco- nomics, was arrested by Ger- man police tonight and locked up in Jail here to await trial before a German denazification court on charges of being a "leading" Null.

The one-time financial wiz- ard of the Third Reich was arrested in the nearby village of Bncknanx III hour after he arrived here from Nuernbcrg, despite suggestions by the Un- ited States military govern- ment that he and the other two Hitler satellites acquitted last Tuesday by the international military tribunal should not he ra-srrestod until convicted by s German court.

His arrest was ordered by the German mlnl-stry of state of Wuerttemberg-Baden after the ministry for denazlflcation classi- fied him as a "leading" Nazi-one who held a major position with Hitler's government and rendered it an extraordinary servi-ce.

Conviction would carry a maxi- mum penolty of 10 years impris- onment. confiscation of his ‘o- perty, and debarment from pilitlcai office or administrative positions in industry.

The arrest came several nours after Dr. Camlll Sachs, chairman of the Nuernberg denazifioation board. affitounbéd that proceedings had started against Schacht. Franz Von Papen and Hans Fritsche, but that they would not be arrested for some time. Von Prlpen and Frltsche were acquitted with Schacht at Nuernbcrg.

The circumstances of Schaciltfls arrest indicated that he would be tried by n German cienuzificallcn court here on charges involving his former connection with the Nazi party ,

The orrest occurred in the home of Paul Reusch, German mining magnate and a friend of long standing.

U. S. military government auth. oritles dissociated themselves from Schachfs arrest by a public stale- ment issued a few hours before he arrived in Stuttgart.

If all tops were to die now, Mr. Peppin 5x. plained, many farmers, inclined to post one their digging until later, woud ‘have a more disease-free "f0? since that interval would give plenty of time for most of the blight spores to die and would also give the grower better cilancc ,to notice the tubers which have become affected with the disease. l

Large Orders Robbed

Mr. Peppin said he expects wi-ll be a great demand for refrigerator cars within the ten days as many shippers Pose to get as much of the away as possible before the for refrigerator cars arises.

While Mr. Peppin has no offi- cial connection with the market- ing of potatoes, he informed The Guardian yesterday that several large buyers of seed potatoes from Florl-da. North and South Caro- lina. Virginia. and New York have been in the Province recently. Large orders have alrevdy bgen booked for Cuba and Mr. Peppin said he considered the demand for Island seed-potato stock very goo-d.
