SOUTH BLOOAN. B. C.. Aug. 22—'1‘wc Doukhobors were arrest- ed today aftcr farmhouses flamed in sacrificial protest against the “coming nf a third world war."

Nicoll Borlskofl and Annie Kof- tinoff were taken into custody in the terror-stricken Kootanay Val- ley. about 500 miles east of Van- couver, and police reinforcements were sent from Vancouver follow- ing an appeal from orthodox Doukhobors. They blamed mem- bers of the Eons of Freedom-a fanatical group of the sect which fled to Canada in i890 from per- secution in Russia-Jar a wave of terrorism and destruction of a score of ironies, schools and com- munity buildings.

The strife among the sect was made more complex today by the enigmatic statement. of Anista Arishinokofl whose house was burned at Shoreacres, B. C.

“My house is burning." she said. "But I don't mind. It is a pro- test against world war three,"

Previous to the outbreak of sac- rificial fires, radical Doukhobors made a fire-raid on Shoreacres. where they staged a nude parade around a burning building, chant- ing and praying alternately.

The radicals have threatened to burn the entire village unless the orthodox Doiikhobors join them.

The sacrifices were only part of the unrest gripping the valley. Immediate arrest of a number of Doukhobors Was forecast while Attorney-General Gordon Wismer announced that a special prosec- utor will be appointed.

Meanwhile. lumber mills in the district were closed or operated

with smnll staffs as employees kept a 24-hour vigil on their homes.

Jews Refuse To Land In France;

Sent To Germany

(By Loull Nevin)

PORT DE BOUC, France, Aug. 22-—~(AP)—The 4,400 Jews of the exodus of 1W1. blocked in their efforts to settle in Palestine, ignor- ed a British ultimatum and sailed tonight on three "cage" ships for Germany, many vowing they would not land unless forced.

None got off in response to the British Government's demand that they disembark in France or be taken to Hamburg, and promptly at 6 pm. (2 p.m. ADT), the aet deadline. the transports began lift- ing their anchors and set sail with an escort of three destroyers and a cruiser.

Bpokesmerf for the Jews aboard the Runnymede Perk and Empire Riva], first and last of the ships to sail toward Gibraltar, said they would have to be carried off at Hamburg. apokesmen aboard the Ocean Vigour said they believed they would create no disturbance because of the women and child- ren aboard.

The return 0o Germany, which many had left 10 months ago to emigrate to the Holy Land, ended a 25-day stay in this French port where they staged a “sit tight” rather than land anywhere but Palestine.

May Compete For South American Seed Markets

OTTAWA‘ Aug. Il-(Speciall- Growers of certified seed potatoes in the Maritime Provinces will face possible competition in the South American trade from pota- to-growers of South Africa, it was revealed here today by the Dc- partment of Trade and Commerce.

From J. H. English. commercial counsel for Canada in Johannes- burg, South Africa. comes the word that for the first time in hictory south African seed pota- toes are being widely exported not only to central and north African countries but Uruguay and Argen- tine. Already Uruguay has con- tracted for South Africa seed p0- tatoes to the value of $350,000.

Commenting on the report, R. E. Robinson of the seed potato branch of the Department of Agri- culture said while the importation of south African potato seed by south American countries was “compettiion in a way", he was not apprehensive of the effect on the seed potato industry of the

Forecast Orastlo Povvor Restrictions in Ontario

TORONTO. Aug. 22 —-(CP)—The Toronto Telegram said in a. news- page story today that with indicat- ions of a worsening o! the hydro power situation in nhe face of in- creasing demands, drastic restrict- ions on power in Ontario are being forecast for the wrnlng winter.

The paper said that one of the major steps believed under con- sideration was restoration of war- time regulations to be applied to street lighting and illuminated signs, constituting a. "brcwnout."

Military Supplies

Maritime Provinces under present conditions, standards and prices.

“Potato-growers of the Maritime Provinces growing certified seed have an immense advantage over the growers of $outh Africa," Mr. Robinson said. "In view of the fact that Canada is in the north- ern hemisphere, Canadian certi- fled seed is delivered to South American countries at the ideal season. The seed has a short ma- turing period and arrives in South America just a. short time ahead of the planting season.

Canadian Quality Superior

"On the other hand, seed po- tatoes from South Africa would arrive in Buenos Aires or at Uruguayan‘ ports at an inconven- lent time, shortly after the year's potato crop has been harvested. We are informed further that Canadian certified seed is a top- quality product and possesses more

EDMONTON, Aug. 22- (OP)— The Alberta Social Credit Govern- ment.today was almost $10,000,000 richer than it expected to be. The annual report, released by C. K. Huckvale.

count came to $48,558,038 or $7.- 2973154 more than expected. Ex- penditures are also less than esti- mated by $224,462. The net funded and unfunded obt of the Province amounted to $144,906,823 at March 31. This was a decrease of $1,252,940.
