Requests Tariffs For Cheese, Beets The Ontario Agricultural Council Thursday asked for legislation to protect the pro­ vince’s cheese and sugar beet industries from synthetic pro­ ducts. Want Cheese Tariffs In separate resolutions at the closing sessions of the organiza­ tion's convention, delegates voted to ask the federal govern­ ment to take “whatever steps are necessary to stop foreign sugar produced by cheap native labor- from ruining Ontario’s beet sugar industry” and recom­ mended an increase in the amount of duty paid on the im­ portation of cheese to-Canada in order to protect the dairy in­ dustry of this country. Another resolution asked the provincial government to pass immediate legislation prohibiting manufacture and sale of syn­ thetic dairy products in Ontario other than margarine and that margarine be put on a quota basis, with oils originating in Ontario only. Turn To Butter A resolution aimed at better conditions for butter producers asked that the federal govern­ ment appoint xi royal commission to investigate the regulations affecting the shipment of feed grains and their prices and values in Western Canada and the costs to feeders in the East. The resolution claimed that the cost of butter produc­ tion bears little relation to its price and that the price of western grains is advancing­ daily. The council recommended that the Ontario government consider seriously whether or not the Children’s Aid Societies are ac­ complishing the purpose set out for them in respect to the im­ provement of children. The resolution suggested that the cost of children’s aid is too high and that the care given to wards of the societies is much superior to what a great many ratepayers are able to give theii’ own children.
