FRANKFURT, Germany, June

The act was meant to sub

The answer was: 1t couldn't.
Britain is not going to be

for the Commonwealth prod
ucts it now accepts on favored

The new deal shaping up
sends Shudders through the
Commonwealth.
What is the current trading
position in the Commonwealth
and how would it change?
In 1860, 3812 per cent of
Britain's imports came from
the Commonwealth. Four
fifths of them entered duty
free. Britain sent AZ per cent
of its exports to the Common
wealth, most Of them enjoying
tariff preference.
Canada sends about one
quarter of total exports to
Britain and about 95 per cent
enter duty-free. Barely one
third would still do so If the
Common Market external tar
| if is applied.
Australia ships about 28 per
cent of exports to Britain. Be-
cause half is wool, which is
not dutiable under the Com
mon Market tariff, it would
come off better. But Britain
would have to pay more for
wheat. meat, butter, zinc and
lead.
New Zealand would be In a
worse situation. Three-fifthS of
its exports come to Britain. All
but wool would have to pay the
markets duty, besides facing
more competition from Eu-
ropes dairy products.

I'm normal years we do fairly
well. We have many worries and
work awfully hard but we have
always been able to bring in a
harvest even in the worst years
Of drought and floods. This is
the worst disaster anybody can
remember"
What makes it worse Is that
land taxes have been raised
this year." her son, Edward
Laskowski, interrupted.
Taxes Increased
The family must pay 10000
zlotys ($666 at the official rate
Of exchange) and deliver to the
state about TOO pounds of
meat, 205 tons of potatoes and
1.8 tons of rye.
The tax increase seeks to
equalize the lot of factory
workers with the relative pros
perity of the IS per cent of
farmers who work their own
land. Prosperity. that is, in
good harvest years, such as
1861.
The Laskowskis estimate they
have lost their entire early
crop Of potatoes. all their on
ions and four -fifths of their
cabbage and other vegeta-
bles. 1t has been impossible to
plant sugar beets. The family
also reported that 8 of IL pig

cow was not able to go out to
pasture in May.
Other farmers said that when
the sun comes out it will take
at least three weeks to dry out
the fields and then it will be too
late to resow some crops.
All this means Polish Leader
Wladislaw Gomulka took grim
news to Moscow for this weeks

dinarily one of the best-fed

Devolued Dollar
Campaign Issue
BY ARTHUR F. WOLF
Associated Press Staff Writer

OTTAWA, June 9.-Another
day, another dollar?
Lester B. Pearson's Liberal
Party, striving to take over the
government in Canada's elec-|
tiops June 18, has a new YER
sion:
Another day, another 92.5
cents"
1t is a jibe at the ruling
Conservative Party of Prime
Minister John Diefenbaker,
who decided to devalue Ca
madam money just seven weeks
before the election.
In most countries the ruling
party would have a hard time
getting away with it. In Canada
many voters are inclined to
accept the action as a way of
facing up to the realities.
There seems to be a feeling
among close followers Of the
campaign that the government
will lose votes to Mr.. Pearson's
party-but not enough to cost
the Conservatives their hold on
the reinS.
Ontario and Quebec Keys
The 1858 election gave Mr..
Diefenbaker a landslide victory
-208 seats in parliament
against 40 for the Liberals and
8 for a minor party now called
the New Democratic.
The present standing is
203-51-8, with 3 vacancies.
The key provinces are On
tario with IS seats and
Quebec with rs. In 1858 the
Conservatives captured ST in
Ontario and so in Quebec. This
year the Liberals expect to
make inroads in both provinces.
They also expect to better their
1858 showing in the west, where
they got only of 72 seats.
The Liberals were in power
for % war and postwar years,
winding up under Prime Min
lister Louis St. Laurent. Mr..
Pearson, who was foreign secre-
tary, took over party leader
ship when Mr.. st. Laurent re-
tired. He is IS.
Mr.. Diefenbaker, 81, routed
the Liberals in 1857, and went
on the next year to pin down
the victory.
Campaign Grows Noisy
This years campaign, dull at
the start, has grown into a
noisy, tough-talking specimen.
Mr.. Pearson aSsails what he
calls "the wasted years" of
Diefenbaker rule, and appeals
for a mandate to clean up the

Leopoldville is settling down
after chaos. The problems of
the Congo capital are no longer
crises Of politics and mutiny,
but poverty and unemployment
remain.
Leopoldville's attractive IA
cade Of modern buildings and
sweeping tree-lined avenues
barely conceals the stagnation
and hardship felt by ordinary
CongoleSe. Before independence
they were among the most
prosperous people in Africa, but
they have yet to reap the bene-

by their politicians.
Thievery Common

unemployed workers at large

and petty thievery are nightly
events in the richer residential
sections occupied by diplomats,
foreign business executives and
the Congolese elite.
Manufacture of protective
anti-burglar gratings for house
windows is a thriving industry
Householders have firearms
against these intruders-even
diplomats who are normally
barred by protocol from keep
ing guns.
Neighbors warn newcomers
to q fashionable area: The
chances of being robbed once

But few doubt these attacks
arise from desperation, not
hostility.

Perhaps a third of the un-

Leopoldville from the bush,
where most native industries
have ground to q halt.
In parts of surrounding
LeopoldvilIe province villagers
stopped cultivating their fields
at the time of independence
convinced this magic word
meant all good things would
come to them automatically.
A World Health Organization
doctor from Kikwit described
the resulting malnutrition:
''If q man comes to me with
a broken leg I can't put it in
a cast. The bush people get SC
little protein that his lie

Rural Housing
Loan Losses Low

According to George Lackman,
state director for Farmers Home
Administration in Montana, there
have been no losses in the rural
housing program during its H.
year operation in this state.
AS of December 81, 1861, Lack
man said, there had been over
S4,500,000 advanced to $50 farm
ers and rural residents in Montana
for the construction, improvement
or repair of dwellings and other
farm buildings and they have re-
paid over 81, 500, 900 principal and
interest on these loans. He added
that 13e of these loans have been
repaid in full.
This loan record is a remark
able tribute to the financial integ-
rity of rural families and their
ability TO manage their financial
affairs, said Lackman. This hous-
ing program provides benefits
through increased business. This
stepped up activity in turn slim
ulates the entire rural economy.
The repayment record on rural
housing loan borrowers also is a
tribute to the judgement of the
county committeeman of the Far
mers Home Administration who
assist in evaluating Soundness OF
the loans.
He also stated there have been
approximately 500 more rural
housing loans made this year than
for the same period last year.
