Markets For Farm Products On Monday evening, January 19th„ the Farm Forums in Canada met to discuss the problems facing the farm- ers, with regards to markets for sur- plus goods. Maninly, of course, the far- mers expressed concern over the sur- pluses of pork, beef, dairy products and grain, There was a feeling that farmers cannot be expected to in- crease production or to produce to capacity, if there is not a better mar- ket, and a better price than that pre- vailing at the present time, Most of the Forums suggested that the farm products should be bought by the government and sent to hungry countries as part of the ammunition in the battle against communism, It seems a general feeling that the best way to fight communism is to feed those people who are hungry, even if you have to give them the food for nothing. Others expressed the idea that 'at least. 10% of our defense spending could well be used for this purpose, instead of for ammunition. All of which adds lip, in my way of thinking, although there are many who will disagree. We have surpluses, that are forcing our prices down. We have millions of people in this world, who have never had a decent meal in their lives, and perhaps will never be able to-be free of the feeling of hunger. These are the people that revolt easily, and are most easily hood-winked into the communistic camp. We could better feed them and win them, than shoot them, and in so doing lose thousands of our own men along the way, We have another way of disposing of these surpluses, That is through a rebirth of our export markets, and mainly the British market. Today, Great Britain needs our food sur- pluses more than she ever did in his- tory, but she is not in a position to purchase very much. Her dollar is extremely low. Her budget is largely for defense purposes. She is, bluntly, in a bad way financially. There is one way that we can restore trade with Great Britain, one way we can en- courage more purchasing of Canadian pork, eggs and beef, and that is to buy more British manufactured goods. We were told in Toronto last week, by Sir Adam Jones the head of the British Food Mission, that each year our imports from Britain are drop- ping. The trade deficit is growing year by year. He stated that the purchase of cheese, and more recently the an- nouncement of pork purchases were not to be misunderstood as a return to prewar trade. "The initiative for such a return to prewar trading, rests solely on the shoulders of the Canad- ians," said Sir Andrew. The money used for these recent purchases was simply money come by unexpectedly through the New Zealand, American, ammummunummummummumminnumunummumminmunm Mr, and Mrs. Cameron MacTavish and children of Wingham visited on Sunday at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Elliott.
