Something happened to the hockey game on TV so I'm trying t

These Federal elections lately have reminded me of the old In
dian describing the western weather on a particularly dry year, "b .
black clouds, heap big wind no rain."
In the last ten years we have had plenty of federal elections bu
there has been little change in government policy even with change
in party in power. We seem to get some decisive action, if it seems
will get some votes, just before the election.
'The 'dock-workers strike was brought to a temporary end ver
suddenly and spectacularly on the eve of the election announ-
ceMe!it. It was hailed as a wonderfull benefit to Western grai
growers and it has been suggested in the press that it was a srnar
move to' win the Western farm vote.
If I were a Western farmer I would consider it an insult to my in-
telligence.
If it is good to end the strike now by legislation it would have
been'even better to have ended it in a week instead of a month. It
seerns' to me that government and rnanagement and perhaps even
the labour union leaders may be playing a smart passing game.
po any of these groups want an increase in the price of grain?
rain Itg a prices increase due to ekports the price of practically all
food' stuffs will have to increase. If this happens, inflation will be an
even more serious problem for government, perhaps even forcing f. price and wage controls. Perish the thought, but it might even force
profit restrictions. Government could hardly be expected to risk all
that money! It would certainly affect government tax income and •.
could it interfere with campaign fund "donations". . •
Ma:nagement would be faced with increased costs and believe it or
not; .price can reduce sales. For much the same reason labour
=leaders don't want higher food costs because lack of sales could
'mean more unemployment which means a reduction in union dues.

so prices have to be minimum."
Let's hope that western farmers don't fall for this one and that
the rest of us don't fall for the promotion that we should be net ex-
porters of beef and thereby drop our price by $6 percwt. •
