NEW BACON CONTRACT FOR FOUR-YEAR PERIOD Shipments To Total 2,405,000,000 Pounds Agriculture Minister Gardiner said in the Commons that a four-year bacon agreement has been negotiated with the United Kingdom. The minister said the agreement had not born signed and there might be some minor changes but the plan was that the United Kigdom should take as much bacon from Canada in the next four years as she did in the last four years. The new agreement would cover 1944, 1945, 1946 and 1947. Mr. Gardiner said the price would be 75 cents a 100 pounds higher than that paid in any year prior to 1944, whether it was paid out of the Cana-' dian treasury or by United Kingdom (The present contract provides for a price paid by the United Kingdom of $22.50 a 100 pounds at seaboard, an increase of 75 cents over the price paid last year, (Officials said they estimated more than 50 per cent of the cost of bacon shipments to the United Kingdom in "048 were borne by Canada Under mutual aid arrangements.)' said that because of the four-year bacon contract in prospeCt there was no reason for farmers worrying about riot having markets for a considerable part of hog production for years. e But in any agreement entered into with the United Knigdom or anyone else it had to be remembered that world associations had to be consider- ed. In the post-war period there must be consideration of people elsewhere in the world producing products sim- ilar to .those of Canada, Shipments of bacon to the United Kingdom in the last four years have been: 1940 contract, 330,000,000 lbs.; 1941 contract, 440,000,000 lbs.; 1942 contract, 600,000,00G lbs.; 1943 con- tract, 675,000,000 lbs. Last fall, Mr. Gardiner announced that a contract had been made for the shipment of not less than 900,000,000 pounds of bacon to the United King- dom in 1944 and 1945. "We are well on the way to supply- ing Britain this year with the whole quantity of 900,000,000 pounds which we agreed to supply her in two years," said Mr. Gardiner. "If we get our later increase in hog marketings in proportion to increases in marketings in past years, we will find it necessary to market nearly the full quantity in the first year rather than wait for the second year." (On the basis of figures given the House by Mr. Gardiner Canada has supplied the United Kingdom with 2,045,000,000 pounds of bacon in the last four years. If, as the minister said was possible, 900,000,000 pounds of bacon are shipped in 1944, almost half the four-year contract would be met in the first year.) Mr. Gardiner ST. HELENS Mrs. T. F.
