'Parity" is defined as (1.) "Equality" (2) "Like - Was" (3) "Equiivalence in currency:;. Can our be that they hate _accept :less for so long, e,5pecially after halving been promised this by farmers who ask for .Parity Prices then be so far out of line? Indeed the mystery may well the late Rt, Hon. McKenzie King. Let us for a moment examine this con- troversial sul feet, First we Must g admit the agricultural depression has brought economic distress to our, urban centres as well as our country towns. , t is an established fact that farmers are our best spenders, and by cutting their earning power we also out their spending power. The merchant who says he doesn't need. -the farmer is only kidding himself. His bus- .„ Iness may be in the black but - he fails to real- ' lze 'how much higher his ,profits could be if the fanner had , the money to buy the merchandise he needs, but cannot pay for. Indeed Parity Prices would mean economic justice not only for the farmers but for every Canadian citizen as well, Parity Prices for farm produce "con- sumed" in Canada, introduced by the deficiency peyment method would overcome every legitimate objection ever raised. In other words letthe product find its own price level in the market place, the difference between the market price and parity price would be made up direct to the produicer from -the Federal treasury.

Phone: Ail 2-7453 37-8-p 1 would insure adequate supplies of quality food products at prices the consumer is willing to pay, would not encourage imports, would. not limit production but would discourage over production.. Here then are the elements we are trying so hard to achieve and failing so miserably -in the plan we are now using and which is so similar to the one in operation in the U. S. namely a price support based on a fluctuating percent- age of parity, What happens when the price goes down? In 1954 the U. S, price support on mills was decreased from 90 percent to 75 percent parity, production increased by 9 ` per- cent. ercent. Supports on oats, barley and soya beans were decreased by 20 percent and in the follow- ing ollowing year production increased by 30 percent with barley increasing bpi 71 percent. Let us look closer to hone, I am sure the proponents of low price si ipports will admit a support for eggs which returns the producer from 26c to 30c per dozen is low enough. However, after nine months of these prices we find ourselves in a situationwhere we have : 360 thousand cases of shell eggs in storage com- pared with 112 thousand on the corresponding. date last year. Clear indications that law prices force farmers to increase produetion%in order to meet overhead costs. Mr. Diefenb'aker has proposed parity, the people of Canada supported parity on June 10. No political party care afford to oppose economic justice for Canadians. THE LITTLE PAPER PRINTED WHERE YOU' USED TO LIVE 'Tisn't Milled with cuts and pictures, nor the 'latest new dispatches; And the paper's sometimes dampened and the print maybe is blurred; 'There is only one edition and the eye It often catches Traces of a missing letter or at times a rats -spelled word. No Cablegrams or specials anywhere the eye engages; The makeup is perhaps a trifle crude and primitive, But an atmosphere of human ,life fills' and permeates the pages Of the little country paper printed where you used to lure. How the :heart grows soft and tender while its columns you're . persuing, Every item is.familiar, every name you know full well. And a flood of recollections passes o'er you while you're musing On 'the past, and: weaves about you an imaginative spell. You can see the old hoarse village, -once again in &ncy, seeming To be clasping band of neighbour, and of friend and relative; And their faces rise before you as you're idly, fondly dreaming O'er the little country paper printed Where you used to live. • 40 Years- Ago Clinton.
