The International Scene
(by Raymond Canon)
Somebody once said that
while agriculture may be the
unlucky stepchild of nature,
it is often the facoured foster
child of government. This may
be partly due to the fact that,
from the beginning of time,
the public seems always to
have hated a landlord and loved
a farmer. For this reason there
is fairly widespread support for
the assistance which the govern-
ment may give to farmers,
even though the voting strength
of the farm bloc has shrunk
considerably.
It is interesting to note, in
this respect, just how the gov-
ernment became involved in
the farm industry. Since grain is
one of the largest single sources
of income in the country, it is
not unexpected that government
aid has been and continues to
be forthcoming in this area.
It was in the 1920's that the
first steps were taken by the
farmers themselves to protect
the industry against the ups and
downs of the grain market. It
was imperative that some act-
ion be taken for, in case you
are not connected with the
farm industry, agriculture is
especially prone to fluctuations
in the market. When things are
good, they are good. When
things are bad, they are really
bad.

At any rate, in order to imp-
rove upon the way grain was
being marketed, some ente r -
prising Western farmers set up
the Grain Growers' Grain Comp-
any to market their product
on the Winnipeg Wheat Exch-
ange. During the lean 30's
the government stepped in and
set up the wheat board, which
offered to buy grain (at "emerg-
ency" prices. This was just
another way of setting a min-
imum price and any farmer
likes to think that he is going
to get at least so much for his
efforts. Because the world
wheat prices dropped so much
during this period, the govern-
ment found that its "emerg-
ency" price was higher than the
market price, and the Board
ended up by buying most of
the wheat produced by the farm-
ers.
During World War II, the
government took over the whole
operation. It bought all the
wheat from the farmers at a
fixed price and made deals with
various foreign buyers to sell
at a fixed price. Sometimes,
due to the uncertainties of the
market, the Board has been un-
able to get as much for the
wheat as it paid the farmers and
it made up the difference by a
sort of subsidy. Until 1967 the
prices were set by an Internat-
ional Wheat Agreement but
since that time there has been
a bit of trouble in getting a
fixed price. However, since
Canadian wheat is generally
of high quality, our country
has had fewer troubles in selling
wheat than have our chief com-
petitors: France, U, S., Argent-
ina and Australia.
At the present time the gov-
ernment sets the price received
by the farmer and also has a
hand in setting world prices.
It exercises, in addition, firm
control over railway and storage
facilities. It has, of late,
attempted to control acerage,
somewhat like the tobacco
industry, so that farmers would
not grow too much wheat and
add to the not inconsiderable
amount we already have on
hand. Given the world situation,
it is hard to see how any amount
of wheat could be grown and
successfully marketed at all,

SNIDER
Cars are often stolen simply
to get at the valuables inside.
Better lock them in the
trunk, out of sight.
If your engine suddenly
develops a clicking noise,
chances are a valve lifter is
sticking. Minor matter if
repaired right away.
Just as much a menace as the
drunk driver is the "two -beer,
feelin'-good" driver, who
loses just enough inhibition
to proceed with reckless
abandon.
