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.
