One of the conditions of the government proposal is that the board guarantee the domestic market its supply of wheat and in order to do this, the board would likely carry stocks over from one year's crop to another which has not been normal in the past. It has suggested that the federal government pay all carrying charges on all the stocks of wheat carried over by the board at year end in return • for guaranteeing the domestic market its requirements. Since the federal government was unable to guarantee the Ontario Wheat Board's initial payment higher than $1.25 this year under its legislation, the board now insists that the federal government guarantee Ontario wheat producers initial payments up to the amount guaranteed to western producers. Currently the Ontario board issues initial payments to prod- ucers of $1.51 without a federal guarantee and the western pro ducers' initial payment is guaranteed by the federal government at a level of approx imately $2,00 (actually $2.25 at Lakehead). Part of the Ontario board's proposal was that the govern- ment should remove the disad- vantage Ontario millfeeds have in relation to western millfeeds in feed freight assistance, The Ontario Wheat Producers' Marketing Board has asked the government for an immediate decision so that wheat may again be traded in Ontario since it has been under suspension for a week and processors ate anxious to proceed with purch- ases. On Wednesday the Ontario Wheat Board's executive were called to Ottawa at the request of Hon. Eugene F. Whelan, minister of agriculture, to get first hand information on the government's proposed pricing system designed to control con- sumer prices of products. The basic proposal was that the government is prepared to give a five year guarantee of minimum prices at or equivalent to $3.25 plys a government subsidy of $1.25 if the world market rides higher than $4.50 basis the Lakehead. At the present time the Lakehead exp- ort price is $5.66 1/8. If world prices drop below $4.50, the government subsidy drops by an equal amount until world prices reach $3.25, and at this point there would be no subsidy but domestic prices would be maintained at this level even though world prices fell further. On Friday, September 7, as a result of discussions with prod- ucer groups, the federal govern- ment changed its proposal, in- creasing the $1.25 subsidy to $1.75 and the world price basis from $4.50 to $5.00. The Ontario Wheat Board felt that the $1.25 subsidy was too low in relation to present world prices and that the producer is giving up too much under the present proposal. The big quest- ion is whether world prices will stay at current levels and if they do not, then the proposal is more meaningful, although the board had several reservation The board feels that a ficed price should be subject to amendment in relation to incr- eases in the cost of production and has suggested that the pegget price level be annually adjusted to account for this. The board proposed also that the government subsidy should not be reduced when the world price falls below $4.50. In effect, this would mean that the minimum price would be held at the $4.50 level. The two price payment syst- em came under considerable discussion and the board feels Emmanuel United Church ZURICH REV. BRUCE GUY, B.A SUPPLY MINISTER Mrs. Milton Oesch, Organist.
