Mllit Production Problem

A li'tI);ll (Wnniiiission 'on A;Zl'i(lLlllLll'f?E has been set up in brwloundland, and it' will inquire cxhaustiyclv, among other

things. into the problem of milk production. in this connection the St. .lohn's Evening Telegram remarks that the dumping of milk in the St. '.lohn's area has become almost an annual event. The cancelling of nrrlers from the American bases in New- foundland has had an effect on the present situation, but it is by no means the root of the. problem. The Newfoundland dairy in- dustry is not soundly based on universal consumer demand and economic production.

'l'he whole Canadian dairy industry, adds our St. John's contemporary, is in a state of uncertainty at the present time, with a. crisis very much in sight. Substi- tutes for milk and milk products have ap- peared in large and cheap quantities. "The big blow to the dairy industry has come from vegetable fats, not from powdered milk which is. after all, a dairy product. Traditionally, hutterfat was the most im- portant product of dairying, either used in whole milk, in cream, or in butter. During periods of peak milk production, the butter- fat was taken from the milk,' finding a ready market, and the skimmed milk was used to manufacture by-products,-canned skhnmed milk, skimmed milk powder, chgese. And a lot of it was simply fed to 1 .tock as a supplement that was better.

The Passing Scene

By Oburvlr

MANIFESTOS '

Every country with rsmonsibl. government needs these two can. captions of political values. tun. one to encourage growth. and change, where the letter is neces- sary, and the other to exercise restraint. The one to herald the glories of one future. and the othu to keep suve I sense of history. The one to strike out in bold untried experiment, and the other to consolidate the gains and u. sess the progress of the put and present.

"The C.C.F'. are the first party to reveal their plat-dorm for the federal election. There will be. of course. I difference in emphasis, but it seems likely that the other paty platforms will not be dras- tioally clifferent".

This excerpt from "Editorial Notes" in s recent issue of this paper set me thinking about the distinctive political bias which used to serve the purpose of tell- ing one political alignment from another. Time was. and not so very long ago, when you could tell 3 Liberal from 5. Conserva- tive, and vice versa, simply by his outlook on things in general. Principles, not tactics, provided the mun issue at election time.

Sometimes these principles were held together by rather elastic strings but, even so, they were generally regarded as binding on party leaders. It occasionally hap- pened t.hn.t ta. prominent politic- ian became dissatisfied with some aspects of his party's plans and changed his affiliation. The present British Prime Minister is I. classic

The historian Lecky in writing of the difference between Liber- alism and Conservatism hsd this to say: "Each can olslm at natural affinity to some of the highest qualities of chsnctt and each owes quite as much of its strength to mental and maul disease. stupidity is xuturslly Tory. Folly is naturally Liberal".

All this, except. perhaps uh, stupidity and folly. is finished snd done with. In England Libusl- lsm, as it once was, is now only a memory for the old met 1. son

PUBLIC FORUM

This column is open to the discussion by corrcspoiidcrlls of questions of interest. The Guardian does not necessar- ily endorse the Uillnloll 0' I correspondents.

I TRA("I'()IlS ON THE FAIIM Sir, in your farm news I read with deep interest that, according to a United Nations study. ”one mzllion tractors were made in the Iwnrld in 1951": also that, accord- hc above sllld,l'. ttNorth America. has more than two-thirds

lot the world tractor fleet, while it has only 18 per cent of the Latin Amer-

lica, Asia and Africa own less than 15 per cent. of the tractors in the iworlcl, but account. for nearly half lot the uorldls arable land. Europe has about 25 per cent of the trac- ers. and 32 per cent of the world's arable land."

I was encouraged by the above rural picture--thougli not neces- sarily from the viewpoint. of per- centage ratios ss between tractors in the indicated sress and the respective percentages of the worlds arable land. To getting a better balance. it seems to this reader that the UNv-vie. the Co- lombo Plan and similar global ef- forts-has s man-sized job on its hands. Even where good progress is being made, unfortunately, .there are snti-sncisl forces around iwhn recret the fact.

i Obviously, this "tractor" scene has to be kept in focus, against the stubborn fact of Asian lfarms' of the postage-stamp variety, ranging from 1 to 3 acres? Then, item, a tractor is not, is practical I-implement for the larger ti) farms, li.e., reaching from 5 to 20 acres- tof which there are myriads in to- dsv's not-so-Far East? Moreover. a farm editor reminds me: "the Food and Agriculture Organization reports that despite a ra- lpid increase in the number nt tractors at. work in the world's ,fields, more than 85 per cent. of the total draft power used in' farming operations is still pro- vided by work animals".

. Nonetheless, the steady growth inf mechanical power down on the lfnrni has tremendous significance.
