Election Candidates Appear At OFU Meeting In Clinton Legion flail (Continued from page one) Liberal Candidate, and former member in the Liberal House 1949-1953 suggested that as pub- lisher of a weekly newspaper he perhaps had a better view of the farming situation than one invol- ved more directly with farming. He said the main difficulty for farm folk is that they cannot agree entirely; some are Ontario Farm Union supporters; some Isn`t sup- port the Federation of Agriculture and some neither one, Reducing problems to its bas- ic elements, he said it was not so much, one of prices, as one of. Cost -pricey squeeze. r`i`ven though farmers. in Canada receive the highest prices of any farmer in the world, they feel that squeeze." "`Andy" predicted that the Lib- eral policy of increased immigra- tion would lead to .increased poliu- lation which eventually, would do more to stabilize farm. prices than anything. The prices support act, he went on, has resulted so far in $89 mil- lions paid to farmers, and though some feel they are not getting enough, others prefer a level of I payments' which bring about sur- ety., and do not aggravate a bad: situation, "Out of every $100 in the Fed- eral budget," said Mr. McLean', "$13 is paid to the provinces; $30 for 'Social Services; $34 for de- fence and $10 to pay interest on the national debt, leaving $13 for other government services. Out of that $13, there is $2 paid to agriculture. Mr. McLean noted that $9,215,- 000 9,215;000 was paid to 7,300 families in Huron for family allowances and $5,000,000 to the 2,700 senior cit- izens of the county for old age pensions. He defended the Farm Loan Board, saying , that some 4,500 farmers had made, loans from the Board and tha$653,- 000,000 had been loaned. He said that tarriffs had been :reduced substantially since 1935; that trade with other countries was at the rate of $660 per cap- ita, more than any other nation in the world today. Mr. McLean said that "if we adopt stringent import policies, then what about exports? The rutabaga people in Blyth, Centralia and Exeter sold $2 millions to the U.S. in 1956." The Liberal speaker said he had heard the Progressive Con- servative program for the first time last night, and felt that it only implemented items already in effect under his government. In a ten minute rebuttal allow- ed him, Mr. Cardiff said that "though the Liberals have a pol- icy, they've not implemented it." He mentioned low prices for cheese and for eggs, and even at that imports had been . allowed, which depressed prices. "You can't expect the Liberals to do anything for you now, when they haven't Far .the past four years. In concluding, Mr. Cardiff said, "Farmers are just a bit smarter than other people -or they'd never live on what they're able to get for their produce these days." Question Period Bob Taylor, Varna, asked a question which pointed out dis- parity in figures presented by A. Y. McLean concerning number', of eggs imported and exported, which he had from the Federal Department of Agriculture, and figures on the same subject which Mr. Taylor had from. the Domin- ion Bureau of Statistics. 4n unidentified questioner ask- ed if it were true that labour's wages were higher because of pressure on the government with each strike held. 'Mr, McLean an- swered that the government did not take part in any labour agree- ments, except , •in case of a nat- ional emergency. Carl Dalton, Seaforth, asked about, price support of eggs, and Mr. McLean outlined the price' structure which resulted in '48 cents paid at Montreal, With the price of 30 cents in Seaforth, with the difference in between owing to transportation charges. Jim Johnston, Walton, noted that McLean had mentioned "a brighter future for ' the farmer" and asked how 'the farmers were to carry on until these good timet "popped up." Mr. McLean smil- ed and reminded that this con., nrent had been made by the Hon. W. A. Goodfellow, agriculture minister in Ontario. But he said "There is an increase in the ag- riculture income across the 'board. Not the net income, but the gross national revenue." Mr. Dalton- asked why there had been an 11 percent increase in freight rates, when the railroads reported a 30 and 40 percent net profit.Mr. McLean replied that both the ONR and the CPR, hard many other interests, than the movement of goods and people, - butthatlatterwas not this shon_v ging a profit, I I Reg. NicCee, Goderich, a gar- ageman and extensive' beef farm- er, noted that promises were for "prosperity ahead"; why not in the past four years? He said the farmers did not want war •years for prosperity, but only something steady and sure. Mr. McGee said that the beef packers have a stranglehold on the. farmers. "Why are the young people leaving these good farms?" Mr. Cardiff said it was hard to answer, but it was true. "I don't believe there's an- other class of people more stable :than farmers. Yet year by year there are fewer farmers. With fewer workers, farmers buy mach- inery, and get in debt. All we ask is a fair share of the national income." Mr. McLean said that an evolution was in progress. There always had been people leaving the farms, • Rev. D. J. Lane :asked what was being planned for the people other than farmers, Chairman Hill ex- plained that the meeting had been called mainly for the information of the farming public, and Mr. Lane withdrew his question. Simon Hallahan recalled the de- pression years, and said that he worked a lot harder under the Conservatives than he ever had under the Liberals. Cardiff an- swered that the Conservatives had taker) over in 1930 when things were bad. "The . Conservatives were not responsible for the de- pression, it ,was created before they took office. But we correc- ted a lot of the mistakes made by the Liberals, and we can do it again." �Mr. Dalton noted that in God- erich yesterday the Hon C. D. Howe had said "Canada is burs- ting at the seams with prosper- ity." Where are the farmers who are bursting at the seams with prosperity? Mr, McLean replied that -.statistics indicatedan in- crease in the gross annual income of the Canadian farmer. Jack Armstrong, Auburn, said that the farmers didn't want to be the only ones getting hand- outs. "We represent 15 .percent of the nation's population," he said, "How much of the nation's gross • income are we getting?" The reply was about nine percent. Mr. Cardiff added that, "Jimmy Gardiner has• a great capacity for creating figures of any sizeS at any particular time," this in reply to another question from Bob Tay- lor. Bill Stirling asked, "You said that the farmer is entitled to a fair share of the national income. Is there any difference between that and parity?" Mr. Cardiff said, "Yes, and I don't believe there's any chance of getting full parity. We've never had it, and I don't think we'll ever have it." C, Dalton asked what protection there would be when the embargo went off on hogs in the -United States. Cardiff replied, "That depends on what government you have at that time." Carl Gevier asked why the floor price of hogs at 26 cents was dropped to 23 cents at - a time when costs had gone up. Mr. Mc- Lean replied that it had been done onthe suggestion • of those most deeply . involved in the hog situa- tion. however, he added the hog floor price had, not been in effect for some time, DIAMOND ANNIVERSARY OPEN HOUSE 'AT EPPS Mr. and Mrs, Ernest Epps are celebrating their diamond wedding anniversary on June 1.
