Donald S. Macdonald, president of the Queen's Privy Council and gov- ernment leader in the Commons The meeting was preceded by`a reception and dinner attended , by 180 members from across the, riding. ' Mr. Macdonald. discussed . activities of the government in the year which had elapsed since the election. The key- note of the government's plan and its performance in the past year had been preparation in terms of modifying, the structure, and procedures of government and preparation in studying the underlying policies that those structures have to deal with. Among changes that have taken place have been in the •Cabinet manner of carrying on business, in the organization of govermental departments and in the procedures and facilities of the House of Commons. "Most painful of all", he said, "has been • in the government's budget through which expend- itures planned•by departments in the past have had to be re- duced or redirected in order to give freedom of action for -the future. " Mr. Macdonald went on to explain that what this means is that a number of heavy expend- iture programs of long standing, such as the Municipal Winter Works program, were cut out • because it was felt that the same funds could be used more effectively in other ways. Also high-cost capital programs such\ as the Queen Elizabeth Tele- scope in British Columbia, or the Prince Edward Island Cause- way, had to be cut out simply because the .government did not feel it had the capital at this time to go on with those pro - 'gra ms. • The governrrient's purpose in trimming those expenditures has been two -fold. Firstly, to try and cut down the level of government expenditures gener- ally so as to act as a check on inflation and, secondly, to give the government more fi- nancial elbow room to engage in the future in some of the new prograhis such as the pro- gram for regional developinent. which it was felt would be more effective in getting at the root causes of Canadian problems. 'Another area of particular concern to the government was the problems of the agricultur- al community, Mr. Macdonald. said. People who live in the city . are inclined to think of agriculture as being a static activity, as an area in which there is very little change. But the factof the matter is that there has been an enormous amount of change in Canadian agriculture since the W a r . Changes in markets, changes in methods of operation a n d changes in the circumstances of agricultural population have all been dramatic. Canadian farmers are faced with the par- adox that they have, almost to the exclusion of any other part of community, been effective• in improving the efficiency and productivity of their methods, while at the same time seeing a serious drop in their real in- come, and this at a time when there are serious challenges to traditional Canadian markets, partly as a result of foreign sub- sidized programs. • Mr. Macdonald was intro- duced by A.

The vot- ing, which was open to farmers, their wives and sons and daugh- ters engaged in agriculture, was called to determine wheth- er the farmers of Ontario want- ed to be represented by a single farm organization which would then be permitted a wide vari- ety of responsibilities. Although complete returns are not yet available two 'facts became clear on Tuesday even- ing. First, a.surprisinglysmali percentage of eligible voters actually cast ballots and second, those who did favor the GFO fell far short of the required 60% Indicated vote in Huron was about 5310 for the GFO; in Perth it appeared to be 420/0. In the south-western counties it ran as low as 2310. The GFO was strongly op- posed by the Farmers' Union and largely supported by the Federation of Agriculture, the two farm organizations whose differences of opinion led the minister of agriculture to call. the vote in the first place. f.
