MARKET .HEADACHE
The Canadian Goverment is worried
over Washington's plans for disposal
of so-called surplus farm stocks Well,
it might be, says the Financial Post,,
for 'we have some .big accumulatio.,
of our own 'to sell. Before these two
disposal jobs are over we will be
lucky if a few national headaches are
the only discomforts suffered. Both
Washington and Ottawa are beginning
to realize that it is much easier to
get into state marketing than to get
out. -
Giving stocks away or selling aglow
prices will interfere with normal mar-
keting somewhere. Somebody's mar-
ket is going to be upset and somebody
is going to start complaining about
dumping. Already there have been
protests to Washington from Den-
mark, Australia and New Zealand.
The only. way the United. States or
Canada could really get rid of these
surpluses• without tnterfering with
trade would be to set a match to them.
And surely we have outgrown such
foolishness as that.
On this gontinent we might as well
realize that we have a real selling job
to do with wheat, feed grains, pork,
cotton, tobacco and a lot of other
things a benevolent 'government has
been taking off domestic markets
every time the price has threatened
to move down to realistic levels.
PRESTON CONCERNED
ABOUT COSTS OF DAM
Steps to ensure that Preston muni-
cipal council will be advised of the
meeting of the Ontario Municipal
Board on apportionment of Conestogo
Dam costs were taken by council on
Tuesday of last week.
Ald. Russ MacLeod, who has spear-
headed the opposition to Preston's
share of these costs, estimated at
some $57,000, said that the meeting of
the board scheduled for November 23,
af"Paris to hear objections of that
municipality to costs of the dam had
been postponed to give five other
municipalities an opportunity to ap-
pear.
A motion sponsored by Ald. Mac-
Leod and Aid. Harry Halberstadt, that
"the town solicitor be asked to ascer,
tain from the Ontario Municipal
Board where and when the prOPosed
hearing on Conestogo Dam costs will
be held, and to advise the commission
that we consider that all benefitting
