Sind ourselves as agricultural producers, facing the inevitable adjustment from war to peacetime conditions; and whereas various subsidies have been employ- ed under our wartime economy to assist in maintaining the cost of living index and to equalize produc- tion costs; And whereas there is some iliti minion that these subsidies may be removed in the not too distant fu- ture, And whereas the dominion parlia- ment passed the prices Stabilization Act to operate in the transition from war to peace. And whereas the machinery and policies of this organ are not known t or functioning.- Therefore unctioning.Therefore be it resolved that we request the Canadian Federation of Agriculture toress for a statement p atement of policy in respect to subsidies, and further, urge that generally speak-.. ing the sane net per unit return for farm products be maintained in re- lation to the production program. Also, that at the earliest possible moment the machinery under the Prices Stabilization Act be made ready to function. 1 Parity Position For Agriculture The time has arrived when all concerned should be giving serious 1 consideration to the policy to be e adopted respecting the continuance or otherwise of the various subsidy o programs and policies affecting farm t products, H. H. Hannam, President 1 of the Canadian Federation of Agri- a culture, told the annual Dominion - Provincial Agricultural Conference a meeting in Ottawa recently. All of those participating in the confer- ence, and those in responsible posi- t tions throughout the nation, he said, h should be considering how the nec- s essay changes can be made with the east measure of dislocation and the a greatest measure of fairness to ev- H erybody, "Before another of these confer- ences is held", said Mr. Hannam, `Far-reaching, and fundamental e changes will probably be made in. marketing and price policies for arm products. We are still run- ing on a wartime basis, with con- rola and subsidies still being carried ad n. This condition is not likely to di ontinue much longer.
