States. :It is unlikely meat rationing events, he says, beef, pork, bacon, veal, lamb and mutton. With the new feeding pro­ gram, however, he is certain we will have more beef in the long run, gan. As hands member, fellow, we are still the best fed people in the world.” I had had bacon, two eggs for breakfast. Could have had more. How heck can. we grouse sincerely? About Foods Administration And now I’ll finish this with few words about talking Foods Administrator Gordon Tag­ gart, who was shortly leaving his job and Ottawa to sit in the agri­ cultural driver’s seat in Saskatche­ wan again. His staff includes anon of expert knowledge of the various food commodities, directly from farm and various food processing and distributing industries. “The food administration staff determines what to do,” he' said, and much of the action which follows may be carried out by regional offices of the Board, enforcement or ration­ ing divisions. You see, food supply naturally divides itself into two groups, foods of domestic origin or imports. When domestic supply is threatened as a result of lower .price established under the ceiling, either of' three things is done, The article can be removed from the ceiling entirely, as done with a number of fresh fruits could lamb which maintain supply, or, thirdly, subsi­ dies were added to the existing price. You remember how the latter was done extensively in the case of milk, dairy products and a numt. ber of canned items, such as to­ matoes. Action with respect to mainten­ ance of supply has been taken main­ ly in conjunction with or in co-op­ eration with the Department of Ag­ riculture. In the case of essential imported foods, he pointed out, the same general principle is applied, to subsidize imports if the price ceil­ ing threatens supply or to lift ceil­ ings from the threatened products. There it is in a nutshell, and I hope there’s a kernel in it. And he added, did Mr. Taggart, that the most common practice of imports has been for the Commod­ ity Prices Stabilization Corporation to bulk purchase at the best possible price and then sell into the domestic trade at whatever price is neces­ sary to maintain ceilings. The determination of require­ ments and the management of dis­ tribution has been th© responsibil­ ity of the Foods Administi’ation. They control prices and keep up supplies of population, government requisition food for the soldier boys and girls arid other priority needs in cases of particular commodities which afe in short supply, Mr. Taggart made it sound so humdrum that I lost my appetite for dinner. And there’s not a sec­ fet, Subsidies ar© not handouts, and th© trade gets nd special bene- ’ fit from them. They are only paid, if there is no other way of securing a sufficient supply of an article without exceeding the ceiling price, and are limited only to essential consumer goods, and next Week’s article concludes the series, i (Yhls is the sixth In a series of articles by Mf; Greenbiat.) say the United that we will avoid in the trend of and that takes in Now, co-operation is the slo- I got up to leave he shook and said with a smile: “Re- in SEED GRAIN FOR SALE—Cartier oats; Cartier oats and O.A.C. 21 Barley, mixed; also soy beans.

Even your own friends say, “They can’t do this to me, I wasn’t hoarding,” You’ve heard plenty of that stuff. And Fred A. McGregor, grey haired, soft spoken Enforcement Administrator of the Watrime Prices and Trade Board, at Ottawa, tries to help find the answers. There’s nothing he fears more than to have his personnel labelled Gestapo and such things. He realizes, of course, that an investigator in your region, invest­ ed with new and unaccustomed pow­ er, might throw his weight around a little and, by gosh, that’s hard to stomach. But supply of men, cap­ able, is thin, says Mr. McGregor. They keep checking on the checkers, even; sometimes it takes find out. “We can’t decide local an ivory tower in Ottawa?’ Whether it's on rentals, hoarding or anything else .they do try to get an honest statement of fact from the enforcement counsel in each regional division, and they do in­ sist on getting “local colour’’ with it. Personal circumstances are tak­ en into consideration. All the ad­ ministration does, he says, is pass on a case to decide whether it should go to the courts or not. Then the law does the rest. Kicks—Well-Founded and Unfounded “We have to watch our step, too, from those whose toes have been stepped on; who make spite charges against persons they may have a grudge against, many, many of which have been investigated and discovered to be unfounded?’ And in the converse, he showed me the file and memo, where .he had just that day personally telephoned an old foreign-born woman- in Mont­ real to apologize for the actions of an investigator who was too smart altogether. “We couldn't enforcement if co-operate,” he thank heaven 95 per cent of the people are ’doing a real enforcement' job with us.” A small percentage, of course, are defiant and won’t play ball. Some of it, he claims, is pure carelessness of regulations to be observed in business. “What of the future?” I asked. He hitched closer to me to em­ phasize the point as he warned that more difficult times are ahead, with dangers of “black market,” etc. “Tell the people they are only helping themselves and they can be of tremendous help to us as the more critical times approach. We would rather have compliance than enforcement at any time.” From December 1, 1941, to De­ cember 31, 1942, they had 1,552 prosecutions for the whole of Can­ ada, and 1,438 convictions. You and I who know what’s going on can reason it out for ourselves whe­ ther they are a Gestapo administration to check ness. Bi’ithell Views Food I hate to hurry on with so much material of interest available, but the series is just about finished. I might give you a few thoughts from Dr. G. E. Britriell, economic advis­ er of the Foods Administration, tousle-headed, earnest fellow whose office walls are covered with color­ ed charts. Buttei’ rationing? All part of the over-all picture we hbd, he explained. Figure it out; more lunch palls, more sandwiches; more civilian workers, armed forces; Red Cross necessities; Alaskan High­ way; U.S.A, troops in Canada; com­ mitments to West Indfes and New­ foundland. Why, the use of fluid milk increased by 10 per cent over the previous year. Out per capita consumption of butter in Canada is 26 lbs., while that of cheese is only 4 lbs., and It takes two of cheese to make one of butter1. Beef?
