Finance Minister Arbbolt arrives here tomorrow and Agriculture Minister Gardiner returned from Gennany last night. They will be able to discuss both prices and available supplies with Hugh Dal- ton, Chancellor of the Exchequer. and John Birachey. Food Minister.

One topic will be the price for Canadian wheat in the crop year 1948-49 which the existing four- year contract requires must be cle- cicled before Dec. 31 next.

Most Canadian food is sold In Britain under long-term contracts but Brltls economic difficulties have raise ‘the question of naeet- ing obligations already incurred in Canada. besides future financing. The Canadian ministers will re- port the British viewpoint to their home government.

Informed sources said that Bri- tish denendence on Canadian food supplies has been increased due to the grave world short-age of cer- eals and other farm products.

The strike already has cost more than 400,000 ions of coal. The Coal Board announced tonight it af- fects -l0 pits.

New Greek 0ov’t Sworn Into Office

ATHENS, Sept. 7 -—(CP) — A liberal-populist anti-Communist government, headed by Themis- was sworn in tonight at the royal palace by Archbishop Damasklnos. formeT Greek regent.

Constantin Tsaltlarls resigned as premier with his ttvo-iveek-old oil-populist government, and

within a few minutes King Paul sunlmuned Sophoulis, a. former premier, and gave him the man- date.

- The ceremony ended. at least temporarily. a bitter political an- tagonism between the two parties, which was continued for 3'1 years. and united them in a common front against Communist guerril- las.

The action was expected to pro- vide the unity vital for success of the American aid program to Greece.

The new government was ex- pected to offer a general amnes- ty immediately to all guerrillas provided the rebellion ends within a specified time. Guerrillas who surrender will be included in the amnesty, receive a guarantee a- gainst reprisals, and jobs, it was learned.

The government also was un- derstood to be considering invit- ing a "neutral" international com- lniaaion to supervise the amnaofl.

Britons Speak Ofltevin

{As “Man 0f The Hour”

By JAMES McCOOK

LONDON. 300i. 7‘— (CF) -—- llrnest Bevin, who piOWl through crises like a battleship, now is opo- ken of as thb man of Britain's darkest economic hour.

‘The Foreign Secretary has caught public attention more than Prime Minuter Atflee or other senior members of the cabinet who have tried lo show Britons the gravity of their pllzht.‘ the neces- liy of buckling down to harder work and the nerd for new auster- ities.

His loyalty lo Attlee is unques-

tioned. - ‘ Whether his statements are ag- reeable to all members of the gov- ernment and especially lo the left wing of the Labor Party is not so sure. But Bevin doesn't care. 0f ell the lnbor leaden, he most of- ten has shown that he follows his ovm Ideas.

Itven if his bropolala for s com- monwealth customs union and dis- tribution of the United States gold stocks ma!’ be considered shaky

economics by some. at least they are new. They give Britons some- thing to think about besides ra- tion cuts and e future of unrelleved gloom.

Bevin has support far beyond his own party. an asset few other oeb- inet members share. His foreign policy has pleased both Conserva- tives arid Liberals. l-le has offend- ed Iiabor left-wingers but he has consolidated the moderate forces who have grown auspicious of Riusia.

A Coalition government is eon- sidered unlikely because neither IAbor nor Conservative members want it. But if the march of ev- ents forces a union, then forceful Bevin rather than amiable Attlee likely would be diioscn chief.

Qmnservafive newspapers have united In praise of Bevin after lambastlng Attlee, Hush Dalton. Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Herbert Morrison, deputy Prime Minister. for their oratorlcal eon- tributions.
