The mountain differential is a higzrier-than-average rate on freight on some hauls over the Rookies. Iiearings on a provincial applicat- ion for removal of the differential arc to start shortly.

.\t the hearings today, the Prov- ince: and the railways came into conflict.

‘The Provinces urged that the Board should not now hear the railway case-an immediate ap- plication for s 15 per cent in-

crease to be followed by a ZOO-per- cent risc~for several reasons.

The railways-with CITH. Car- son of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way as spokesman-urged thatthe Board deal with the matter soon. suggesting Oct 4 as the opening date for hearings.

Mr. Justice M. ‘B. Archibald of the Exchequer Court. new chief commissioner o! the Board, said the time of the Board was filled through the last part of the year.

After hearing argument of both sides. he said the best date the Board could settle for was Jan. I1.

This decision seemed to duck both issues directly but to take tare of them indirectly:

1. The contention of all Provinccs that the ZO-per-ccnt rearing should not he dealt iviih before the ZI-per-cent 1am was heard before the Cab- incl.

2. The British Columbia clam- nr for hearings on their mount- am differential. These hear- ings are due to start about Nov.

While the Board gave no indi- raiinn of whether it considered lhcsc two cases might be clcancd up by the timc it wont back t0 the straight freight-rate issue, M's. Justice Archibald indicated he hop- ed that would he the case.

At. the Jan. 11 date, he said, "I ssvzme we'll be prepared to carry on“

Jewish Extremists Co Cut Cf‘ Business

JERUSALEM, Sept. 21 -(A P)- The Jewisiixextremist group, Irgun Zvai Leumi, accepted an ultimat- um from the Israeli Government today and went out oi business.

The dissolution of Irgun was ord- ered as the Government continued its crackdown on the Stern Gang, another but smaller Jewish under- ground organization.

The Government smashed both forces in the wake of the assassin- ation of Count Folke Bernadette, the United Nations mediator. and his French aide. Int-Col. Andre Serot. in Jerusalem Friday. Israeli authorities have blamed the Stern Gang for the killing ofjernadotte and Serot.

Nearly 300 arrests have wrecked the Stern Gang. Many of its lead- 91's have fled. The Israeli ultimat- um to lrgun Zval Leurnl ordered me-nbers of that organisation to turn in their arms and enlist in the regular forces of the Jewish state,

Moshe Dayan, Israel's Jerusalem commander. announced the ultim- atum at s. prass conference.

Irgun accepted the ultimatum unconditionally. Its guns were hauled off to Israeli army arsenals in army trucks and Jewish regulars went into the Iirgun compound in suburban Katamon to keen order. Jerusalem was the only Palestine

city where lrgun had continued functioning as an underground i! I‘ panama

fight now, 1f Russia attempts to take one more step forward, or whether they should temporize. re-niun on a defensive basis and give time a chance to work.

In Berlin, the question of whether the Western Allies should take the risk of war now very largely boils down to whether they shall get out of here or stand firm at all costs.

You can get an argument here over whether the state of Allied unpreporedness is as vital a. fac- tor in this question as you might think. Some of the real experts in this deepest outpost within the sphere which Russia would like ts call her owmthink that we should risk war now.

They say that Russia is arming even more desperately than we. that time is not. going to make much change in the ratio of strength, and that time might give the Russians the atom bcmb and the air force which are now our greatest reliance. ‘They argue that the United States cannot continue indefinitely under the Strain of’ its present outlays in the anti-Communist campaign, and that the threat to United States institutions through a re- suiting economic collapse would be greater than the chance of its defeat in war.

N°b°dy Dretencls to know whe- ther thcre is any chance gm- a wlll-Dse of the imperialistic Com- munist hierarchy before it, tests its strength in combat for control cf the world. But there are those who argue. so long as we don't know there l3 n9 chQnQQ wg should not force tlt~ issue. That 50 10118 as we don't have war there is a chance for something else.

The!’ also argue that war cannot

"l"? settle such an ideological dliltute as now obtains: that. wnr lliifht even solidify tlza determ- ination of Communism through- out the world: that the present drain on United Slates economy is as nothing ccrnrnared to the drain of war. and that the United States mltlht well win s military campaign onlv to find that. shc had lost. all that she was fighting for: that immoral ideas must bc be beaten down not by war, bu‘ by moral ideas. I am inclined to agree with the latter, that war lisd best be put off until every other alternative is exhausted. Yet I agree flint life is not so sweet that it should be “V94 in Chaim. I agree that to retreat from Berlin would be dis. estrous.

Claims Producers Not Getting Fair Milk Price Locally

Milk vendors and processors in the City of Charlottetown are not paying the producer the current milk price which is fixed at 95 cents pcr pound butter fat, Pie niier J. Walter Jones said in an lll'_€l‘\‘lC\V yesterday.

E-"mlalnlnz ivliy lic receives only about seven and a half ‘cents p4,!‘ quart for milk for which the milk vendor and processor charges the consumer 15 cents a quart, the Premier illustrated his statement b0’ taking a hypothetical figure such as 93D pounds as the aniouui. of milk he might sell the processor on a certain day, 0n that amount. the processor would allow him half. or 4475 pounds, as stanaad for which the price was figured at 95 cents per pound butter fat. But the remaining 465 pone-La would then be classed as “surplus and for that amount he was paid oii s basis of 70 cents per pound butter fat. ‘

What the processor did with the surplus milk he was not pfepflju" to say, the Premier said. but he doubted that the City consumer did not pay 15 cents a quart to: a-t least some portion of the milk classed as "surplus",

At no time. the Premier said, does he receive any more than 84 cents per bound butter fat Io. his milk. Very often the price is only 82 cents. It did not pay so produce milk at such prices. he added.
