I FEDERATION NEWS
(By Jim Powers, Sec. Fieldman)
Agriculture Minister Hon, Jas..
Gardiner left a feeling of optim
ism wiith Ontario Cream Pro
ducers after speaking! to their
annual iheeting in the Royal
York Hotel, Toronto, on Novem
ber 16th. Mr. Gardiner stated “If
we are going to produce enough
butter in this country, 58c floor
seems to be the right price to
do it. Some years ago we lower-
-ed-the floor ■priceband as a result
we did not produce enough but
ter and the government bad to
import 22 million pounds”./
The Federatfbn of Agriculture
and' the affiliated Commodity
Group, the Cream Producers,
urged the Federal Minister- to
continue the present, floor, when
the price is reviewed for a two
year' period on the first of April.
“Critics of floor prices”, con
tinued Mr.. Gardiner, “point ,to
large storages of butter and at-'
tribute, them to too high a floor
price. This”, he added, “is not
true;r t—.
usually high, only six years in
the past twenty did wp have less
butter in storage than we have
today”. Mr. Gardiner made men
tion that at present time butter
is coming out of storage to make
sure the consumer does not have
to pay more than necessary. He
stated the favorable: grass con
ditions were the reason for the
20 million lbs. oversupply and if
it were the practise of the gov
ernment to stabilize the price-
the consumer pays, it was then
the responsibility of the govern
ment to remove the extra into
a foreign market.
The - Minister answered a "for-"
mer request that the oversupply
be sold to Canadian consumers
at a lower price, fdr a period ot
time^He explained that it would-;
be impossible to stabilize price
to the consumer if this policy wac
followed. By feeding the market

A trade magazine was talking
