Export On Cattle For Canada Only By Food Board The Wartime Prices and Trade Board assumed rigid control of the beef cattle trade in Canada, naming the 'Government-owned Wartime Food Corporation as sole exporter of beef cattle in a new policy aimed at meet- ing the "acute" shortage which the board said now' exists "across the whole country," The Food Corporation "will, when necessary, buy cattle in the domestic market to support cattle prices in Canada." The board disclosed in its announce., ment that Canadian Packers have been required to give priority to military requirements for same time, "yet not- withstanding this actiott military re- quirements have not been met." "Accordingly," said the statement, "the board has carefully reviewed the whole situation and made reComniend- ations to the Government which de- cided upon a complete change of pol• icy, making Wartime Food Corpora- tion the sole exporter and at the seine, time assuring not less than ceiling prices to producers, End Holding Back "This should remove any incentive to hold back cattle at one period and press sales' at another." "Thus, while the new policy may not restore beef supplies immediately, the removal of any abnormal incen- tive to hold cattle should result in re- sumption of the customary flow of merketings." The board's sweeping action repre- sents a definite change hi polity lel- lowed since last June whereby the car- poratioe paid the equivalent of export prices to divert cattle from the expert to the domestic market tip to the num- ber which otherwise would be eligible for export under the United States quota. The old Pace'', the board said, had resulted hi "very uneven" inerketings of cattle—abuedant supplies in the early part of each quarter and acute shortages toward. time end of the quart- or. "This neither stabilized prices to the producer not provided adequate ieef supplies for eiViliati and military re- quirements in CAtitida$'' the announce,. I sent said, Beef and beef cattle prices now are approaching their seasonal low. Un- der the board schedule, the wholesale I price of beef will be decreased one-half i a cent effective September 14. The ceiling will continue until November 31, with regulated seasonal increases permitted after that datee. Assures Feed Costs Provision for seasonal price adjust- ments, coupled with support guaran- teed by the corporation, would mean that cattle feeders may proceed with assurance to carry their feeder stock until spring in the normal way and recover their feeding and operating posts." Essential features of the new policy had been discussed with representa- tives of beef cattle growers and it was indicated that the plan would meet with "general approval." The board acknowledged that some individual producers may not obtain so high a price under the new system but said that the industry will be plac- ed ie a "much more satisfactory" pos- ition. Profits made by the food cor- poration from exports will be set aside in a special fund to be used -to support cattle prices when necessary, GORRIE Mr. Thos.
