Viscount Halifax To Canvas Internation- al Situation-Press Reports Irk Nazis.

IDNDON. Nov. $il—(AP)—Vfs-

count Halifax will lelve London _ tomorrow for Germany to hearon -

behaii‘ of the Government Chan- cellor Hitler's ideas on the inter- national situation.

The announcement today that the lord President of the Council and former viceroy oi India would begin his Journey ‘a day earlier than scheduled set at rest rumors it might be called off because of Nazi resentment of British press speculations.

Other reports that Illoreignsec-

retary Eden‘ opposed the journey _ were denied by informed persons, l

who said Mr.- Eden hiud taken e leading part in preparations for

‘the Journey and hld informed.

French Foreign Minister Deibcs about it. while the two were at the Brussels conference.

Mr. Eden was confined to his home with a chili today and took no active part in the lest minute discussions. -

Although informed persons said it was unlikely Lord Halifax llld Chancellor Hitler would get fur- ther than discussion of generalit- ies such as the different view- points of the "have" and "have not" powers. it. was believed Ger- many's colonial aspirations would come under review.

The London press reports which

excited Nazi dislike said German! ,

was ready to declare a. truce on the colonial question in return for a free hand in central Europe. Informed persons recalled that‘ Rome still fears the idea 0f Ger- man domination in Austria. They suggested that. Premier Mussolini’: recent declaration that ‘Germany must regain the place which is due it and which it. used to have be- neath the African Sun" might mean Mussolini was stumping for restoration of German colonies in the hope that would keep Hitler from troubling central Europe.

WAX PRHBESS FUR TlIRNIPS

S ale s 0 f “Treated Stock” Not Up To Expectations.

Wax processing of Prince Ed- ward Island turnips for the Am- erican markets had not been suc- cessful from the standpoint of sales. Mr. lVLG. McNeely. manager of the Associated Shippers Ind, declared in an interview yester- day. "While thc idea seems sound the trade at. the other end is not taking to it the way we anti- cipated," Mr. McNeely said.

Processing cost, including labor and shrinkage amounted to about 16% cents per bushel. The trade simply did not seem prepared to that. premium. lAbout 2500 bushels had been treated.

Investigate Process

Feeling that; there were possibil-

ities in the waxed turnip trade,

"which had gone over so well in Ontario, the Associated Shippers sent Mr. George P. Thompson to

investigate the process. On his

return from Ontario Mr. Thomp- son sold the proposition in the directors-that: the idea of putting up waxed turnips was certainly worth serious consideration in the interests of Prince Edward Island
