"As a member of Parliament." he said. "I object to this sort of thing. It is abundantly clear from this letter that apple-drawers and apple exporters from the Maritime Provinces of Canada are being discriminated against and (rude advantages given Italy ratherthan Canada."

The Government of Canada. the Temiscouata member contin- ued. had no wish or intent to force Britain to buy Canadian apples or any other Canadian food products. Ho failed to sec. how- ever, any reason why a food min-i Ester would bar from Britain wholesome healthful apples grown in the Maritime Provinces, par- ticularly when there was a heavy demand for apples in tllc British market.

From another from Horne Bay in Kent. Mr. Pouliot quoted the following sent- cnccs:

“Every wife in England is tired and fed up trying to get our good meal a day for her family. but I family don't live on iiho miserable bits and pieces we have to. My husband has done 28 years in the Royal Navy and

Mr. Pouliot said he believed in aiding Britain in her time. of hardship and want. It was diflil cult, however. for Canada to give the United Kingdom the aid she needed ln the face Socialist rod tape and regulations.
