the one used in the kidnapping, said Harding, who was working on a Prmcetcwn roadside at the time.

With Harding and the alibi wit- nasses out of the way, the defence called John M‘. Trendley cf East St Louis, to contztadlct eight expert state witnesses who swore that

Hauptmann wrote every one of the 14 ransom notes and thus perpe- trated a grisly. $50,000 hoax.

Despite the lengthy fight the prosecution waged on Trendleys qualifications, he was qualified by Supreme Court Justice Thomas W. Trenchard- Tomorrow he will make his comparisons of the ran- som notes and the Hauptmann handwzdting.

ncction with these contracts. ‘rhess contracts do not arise out of the Ottawa Agreement, but in the Ot- tawa Agreement there was pro- vision that any contracts that might be made between British importers and the Soviet Union (or any other country) that prejudic- ially affected the preference grant- ed Canadian or other Empire p10- ducts in the British market would be dealt with in the manner indi- cated in that clause.

"Last year representations were made to the government of Great Britain in consequence of a pro- posed contract between Timber Distributors and the Russian auth- orities for the purchase of qua-n- titles of timber. The quality was limited by the quota and the fall clause, so called, disappeared. The new contract has not yet reached the point where it is possible to make representations to the gov- ernment, but they have been made in the meantime, anticipating the possibility of the contract, in the strongest possible terms.

"'I‘hr task has bezome more dif- ficult fcr reasons which I need not refer to at this time other than to say that an effort as been made,

available for distribution within the next few days.

The regulations provide for the peggizig of prices, the orderly mar- keting of the product and the pre- vention of ruinous price cutting.

Mr. Cunningham declared tonight the Board believes that by regulat- ing satisfactorily the commercial merchandising of the crop, prices will be increased materially. “Pres- ent indications are that the first minimum price quotation will be double that now being received by the growers," he said. "Further ih- creases may be anticipated from time to time as market conditions Justify."

He continued that it was fully realized the consumer and dstrlbu- tor in the larger centres did not ob- Ject to paying a price which would cover the farmers cost of produc- tion. In fact, many consumers hao intimated to him that they would not object. to paying a price of from '15 to $1 per B0 pound bag. but that so long as the producer forced his own price down they were willing to pay the going price and no more,

Valid Liccnse Necessa y

Mr. Cunningham pointed out that the marketing agency in each province coming under the scheme, shall appoint as representatives only persons, firms or corporations hold- ing a. valid license as a dealer un- der part two of the Fruit and Hon- ey Act, 1934.

In addition, the agency may grant

licenses to those engaged in the in- tra-provincial trade who do not re- quire a license under the Fruit land Honey Act. This group includes those who sell potatoes within the province and those dealers who ship less than five cars out of the pro- viuce. Those who are licensed under the Fruit and Honey Act are required to pay a nominal fee of $1 for their permit from the Board, while to those who are not licensed under that act a license and a permit both are issued by the Board for s nom- lnal fee of O1.

Already instances have been

brought to the attention of the Board where dealers have neglected to obtain licenses under the Fruit and Honey Act, Mr. Cunningham said, declaring that "it will be ab- solutely essential to the dealers and in the interests of the indust y that no permits shall be-issued until such time as they have obtained their licenses." "Steps will have to be taken to prevent illegal dealing in potatoes." he stated. Together with H. L. Mulhern, Grand Falls, New Brunswick! other representative on the Board, Mr. Cunningham returned to Frederic- ton today from Ottawa, where a meeting of the Board was held.

STRONG STAND

A survey of Prince Edward Is- land harbors should be made, par- ticularly on wharfags and storage conditions, wtih a view to adequate provision to meet needs of produce of that province, Dr. MacMillan stated-

Attomsy-Generai H. l". McPhee, attorney and advocate cf Prince Edward Island contended his prov- ince had a "special claim" for an increase in debt allowance because

of sums aggregating $1,000,000 charged "lm r ly against his allowance.

“With conditions in 1034-85 so materially changed from what they were in I926 when the Duncan re- port was made, that is all the more reason why we should need great- sr aid, greater assistance, greater adjustments, at this time than we did then," Premier L. P. D. Tilley, of New Brunswick agreed.

apparently, to convey the impres- sion that Canadians attach little value to these provisions or to the preference itself, and that some- _what increased the difficulty of dealing with it from the govern- ment standpoint.

"But every possible step is bcinil taken by representation made by “l0 H1811 Commissioner at ‘h! lfl- stance of this government to the British government. when the matter reaches the president of the board of trade more formal repre- sentations will be made.

“Neither the British nor the Canadian government is conoemed in the first instance with a con- tract made by a private company known as Timber Distributors with the Russian authortica. After the contract is made, if it is believed that that contract contravenes in any way the provisions of the section of the Ottawa Agreement dealing with the matter to which I have referred. it is competent for the Canadian government to make representations to the Brit- ish government, which has taken power from parliament to deal with the matte-x, and then action is tak- en in accordance with the provis- ions of the British statute."

fared to bring his province into Confederation, the New Brunswick minister registered a protest against absorption of the Inter- colonial railway by the Canadian National system. “The Intercclonial Railway should have been left as it was," he declared, "a government roscl, built essentially for the benefits of the people of the Mari- time Provinces, having its head office in Monctnn, and fixing its freight rates at such a level that we could get our farm produce, and fish and the products of what manufacturing industries we had into Central Canada on a com- petitive basis with Upper Canada.

"We ask you," continued Prem- ier Tilley, "to make the award suf- ficient to enable us to finance and balance our budget and at what you consider is a full implementa- tion of the Duncan report.“

Premier Tilley visualized New Brunswick as a prospering prov- ince, collecting its own revenue be- fore it entered the union. Times had changed. Quebec now'had a population of nearly 3,000,000. 0n- tario had more than 3,000,000 but at the last census Prince Edward Island was losing its population, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island were losing in. Parliamentary representation and the only province in the Mari- times which had shown an increase in population was New Brunswick, which the last census showed had an increase of 20,000. The reason for the change was New Brunswick and the other Maritime Provinces had given up their customs and excise duties, said Premier 'I‘illey.

The present commission was not s. court of appeal from the Dun- can Commission, but was to im- plement the Duncan report, he de- clarcd.

Nova Scntla. Premier

"I do not believe that subsidies are enough," said Premier Angus L. Macdonald, of Nova Scotia, in earlier presentation. Wihat was needed in Canada, he continued. was a "general revision of the British North America Act in re- gard to financial arrangements be- tween the Dominion and the provinces to consider what should be done not only in regard to money grants but how the whole field of taxation should be more“ and what services should be taken W81‘ by the Dominion, and per- formed by both the Dominion and the provinces should be definitely assigned one way or the other to avoid overlapping and duplication of services in many instances, 110M118 in the Departments of Ag- ricuiture and in some instances in the Departments of Health." He intended “coming back" on the question 0f the subsidies to be paid to his Province until the whole matter of relationship between his Province and the Dominion was settled cquitsbl, said Mr. Mae. donald.
