A statement which will be sent to the Ministers of Agriculture and International Trade and to all Members of Parliament should leave no doubt as to what Canadian farmers would like achieved in the current round of GATT negotiations. The CFA supports the negotiations for im- proved access for agricultural products. In fact it recognizes they are crucial for the health of some sectors. However, it says it cannot accept any agreement that trades the stability and security of one agricultural sector for another.

In its statement, the CFA insists the goal of the GATT negotiations on agriculture should be to bring all countries into equal conformity to clear and workable agricultural trade rules. "Equality must be created between trading partners," says ton Knoerr, Presi- dent of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture. "That means equal eonformlty to GA'I'T rules and equality in net benefits to producers." CFA does not support a general percen- tage reduction of practices considered trade distorting. This would do llttle to improve the current trading situation and could very well be disastrous for Canada. Countries which provide significantly greater support for the production of exported products should be required to bring their support down to a comparable level to Canada's before they start making any reductions in practices that may be considered trade distorting. The CFA recognizes the total elimination of all agricultural support programs is unrealistic and undesirable. However, it also recognizes that unbridled susidization leads to production in excess of market re- quirements and the subsequent dumping of products on the international market. "The answer lies in the reduction and elimination of direct export subsidies; clearer and improved countervail and anti- dumping rules; and the restraint elimina- tion of the export of significantly subsidized product," says Mr, Knoerr. The statement developed by the CFA also includes that: • All access barriers should be brought into conformity with clearly defined GATT rules, This must be done over a reasonable period of time. Tariffs and levies should be set at a fined and bound percentage or amount, and should be subject to negotiation. All exporting countries should have equal opportunity to compete for the market that is available. • Clause 2c(i) of Article XI of the GATT must be strengthened and clarified to en- sure that supply management is clearly defined, and that all processed products in- tegral to the marketing of primary product can be included in import controls. The CFA is also calling for the Canadian Restored CWH Lanco (`Before we fly the Lancaster in the Hamilton International Airshow, June 17 and 18", says Norm Etheridge, Chief Engineer, " — it will be equipped to stan- dards as good as any modern Airliner." The timing couldn't be better, because the Canadian Warplane Heritage Lancaster will be involved this summer in its heaviest flying -schedule since it "retired" from RCAF in early 1964, as Lancaster Bomber FM 213. During the past few weeks, visitors to the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum at Hamilton Airport in Mount Hope have seen normal maintenance activity underway, but "behind the scenes", Norm adds, "it's being refitted to fly into the '90s." It's the one and only Lancaster still flying in North America, but, according to Norm Etheridge, "state-of-the-art Avionics and Council endorses • from page 1 locations within the Town of Seaforth.

"We are convinced that by obtaining a strong consensus on GATT policy, the CFA will give the Government and our negotiators a clear message as to the domestic policies and programs that are im- portant to us and which must not be com- promised," says Mr. Knoerr.

"The intention is not to limit competition but rather keep the business area strong. If nou, split the business area, you get ustomer procrastination. They shop at a store outside the business area and plan to go downtown. However, this makes a second stop, and quite often, their next stop will be Goderich, London etc. and they will.pur- chase that second stop item at their convenience."

He added those businesses would not detract business from the downtown area, and would not mix retail and service establishments., In his address to council, Mr. Seddon said the project was not proposed to detract from Seaforth's Main Street, but rather to enhance Seaforth on the whole. • He noted Mr. Hart has every intention of promoting the Town of Seaforth as a shopp- ing area, and despite being located in the Township of McKillop has plans to call his • development the Seaforth West Plaza. All construction will be done with consideration paid to the town's architechure and Mr. Hart and his partners intend to retain ownership of the properties in order to en- sure they are maintained in a respectable manner, and to have some control over the marketing. "We'.re operating with long term marketing in mind. We want to promote this as a regional shop centre, and hopefully pro- mote Seaforth as a shopping area at the same time - not Highway 8," said Mr, Seddon. "We're not kidding ourselves. We know this is a big project and we have long term marketing in mind. We are satisfied we can do it." Mr. Seddon relieved council's concerns that the commercial development might prove unsightly and detract from the town itself, by reinforcing Mr. Hart's and his in- tention to operate the development on a lease -back arrangement. "That way we ensure our interests are protected. We need a bright, clean land- scape as much as anybody. To us it's critical • - as far as the dealership itself. John has to make his livelihood here" he said. "When we spend money to make this pro- ject go, the last thing we want is for people to be disappointed when they get here. If they get here and are disappointed, then we've blown our brains out." Mr. Hart himself, had little more to add to Mr. Seddon's comments, except to ensure council that he intends to work with the local merchants, and not against them. "I would really like to get involved in marketing together," he said, adding he would be willing to become an associate member of the BIA if possible, and get in- volved in Main Street events and promotions. "In keeping with the concerns of the downtown merchants who think this isn't in their best interest - we think it is," added Mr. Seddon. Firebug • from page 2A year-old Neil Beattie, shutout king of the Bantam League. Of eight games which his team, the Midgets, have played, Neil has had seven shut -outs. Owners of pistols and revolvers are re- quired by regulations to register those firearms with police departments and while the registration forms have not been receiv- ed here, Chief of Police Helmer Snell has received word that the registration must be completed by June 1. Seaforth and Clinton will try again to break the deadlock, as Tuesday's game in Stratford resulted in a five all overtime tie. The nearly 2,500 fans who saw the game were almost evenly divided, Clinton sup- porters taking the seats on one aide of the rink, arid Seaforth on the other. There may be a better class of hockey played in other leagues, but it couldn't be any more exciting than the last period of this game. The Colts were leading 4-1 at one time, but the Beavers overcame the lead to go in front 5.4, only to lose it to Clinton with just about two minutes to go. MARCH 6, 1004 Tuckersmith council was urged Tuesday to take action to curb speeding and dangerous driving through Egmondville, when a largely signed petition was presented by Mrs. Charles Geddes and Mrs. Ivan Carter. The petition also nought council action in providing additional street lighting and warning signs.
