No. 2, Farm Forum of MOKillop net at the home of Mr. and Mrs. 'Harry. Palin to discuss this week's topic, "Im- port Control". All the 'members of our group are interested in hogs, beef, poultry and dairy products and of course Import -Duties on these products inter- est us too. On the question should import controls be used on your commodity? We regret the necessity of controls or du- ties at all and think they should be used only in emergencies. It is impossible for the farmer to live as a free trade segment of a protectionist society such as Canada is today. The zesuit of which .is our bdgh costs which is at the root of all OUT troubles.
