Farmers Cautioned About Speculations

Farmers and farm leaders are cautioned against accepting too lit- erally the speculations appearing in the press since the German oc- cupation of Denmark with regard to what the cutting off of Danish supplies to the United Kingdom may mean to Canadian agriculture says a statement ioieased on Aplll 17th by the Agricultural Supplies Board.

It is true that Denmark held s position of major importance as a source of bacon, egos. and dairy products for thr- Britislr market. This is indicated by the figures re- lcased April 11 by the Dominion Bureau oi Statistics. and widely

present year did not vary W158i? ironi those for the some period of last year. _

‘Ihese are impressive trade fic- ures with respect to the products mentioned. From the Brush-market standpoint. Danish supplies repre- sented ~19 per cent oi Brita n's total imports of bacon. 25 per cent of her

marketing situation is even more striking, since the above-mention- shipments made up about 60 per exports of all commodities for 1938.

A second consideration is that Denmark is not only removed from the British marketing picture for the period of the German occupa- lion bin will likely be a lesser fac- tor in exports of Itve stock pro- ducts for some time afterwsitds. For it must b2 remembered that Den- mark's large production of these commodities was only possible ‘oe- cause, as a maritime nation, she could import considerable quantities of feeds. Despite great efforts tn recent years to increase home feed production. the best information

from 20 to 25 per cent of he: feed grain. Now that she has fallen within the orbit of the enemy, Den- mark ilnds herself blockaded. And lacking the opportunity of bring ing in much of these feeds. She may be forced to liquidate n pro- port-ion of her live stock. This pro- cess. of course, will enable her tem- porarily to keep up her exiwrl? 0i live and dressed animas and poul- try. with Germany presumably as the market-but it is a process of “killing the goose that laid the gol- den e22.“

mark from the British supplies ictuie mean to the Canadian armer? This much can be said: According to official advice received by the Bacon Board. Britain is at. the moment. heavily stocked wit-h

[bacon and domestic and Irish pro- duction are keeping iin well. She is

also supplied with butter. The loss oi Danish supplies of ‘bot-h these conunoditta, considerable as it is in volume. can be at least partial- ly offset by reductions in rations. increased Only a short. time ago be- cause of large supplies on hand. The determination of the British authorities to use their exchange for the purchase oi those things most

needful for the successful prosecu- tion of the war will undoubtedly

|iead to exploration of the above possibilities before new sources are

sought of supplies fromerly coming from the Scandinavian countries.

Should Britain later seek bacon, eggs. and butter to replace in part supplies heretofore received from Denmnrk.~appareiiiiy she will have to turn to the North American continent. The United States has surpluses of many agricultural pro- ducts. ond prices are relatively low. Exchange rates. however, plus the fnct, that. B:ttain may wish to use her American currency for the pur- chase of more strictly military sup- plies mny cause the United King- dom authorities to look to Canada for added quantities of bacon and other live stock products when that time comes.

It miizlit. likewise be pointed out that. even should Britain require from Canada increased quantities of these commodities. there is no indication that greatly increased wires would follow. From the very beginning of the war. Britain's pol- icy ras perforce been aimed at pre- venting undue price increases in supplies needed for war purposes: Plld. due to the tremendous strain winced on the British exehcquer by o w~r tint is so costly and flint mriv be lot" "lie is likely to continue this policy.

Conservative Makes Bow

In the House of Commons Hon. R. B. Hanson .who was chosen last Monday to be temporary house lead- er of tic Conservative group. made his bow as leader of the official 0p- position.

Brief statements _were made by

er and when the Prime Minister congratulated Mr. Hanson. In each case the war and its responsibilities oversliadoived the personal.

Mr. Mackenzie King said, in

park-

“we shall not expect to esea e criticism but I believe 1 am spea - tniz for all members when I sov that I ltope we will escape anything in the nature of rccrimination.

'_‘It would be our wish that any- 111111;: in the nature of criticism will be constructive. in the light of the ETCM problems with which we are faced at this time.

"In conclusion may I say that the cooperation which we believe we will receive from members in all parts nf the house will be recipro- cnted in the fullest measure possible by the government.

To Work Together

"It will be our effort to work to- get er in this House of Commons 2s one body of citzcns who have, first and foremost iii their hearts. the interests of their country, the interests oi the great empire to which we all belong. the interests of free nations and the interests of freedom throughout. the world."

Mr Hanson replied. in part:

"Members of tltat group _of free democracies of which we pride our- seives in forming a art, are being attacked in the mos vicious and violent: manner that can be imagin- I ed bv the human mind.

“As the senior dominion and an integral part of the British Empire, Carlotta. along wiith our mother; ccunti-v and our gallant AlLes, is» being attacked.

“It is the duty of Canadians, the duty of this Parliament. the duty of the government charged with re- mponsibility for the time being, and. ias I conceive it, my duty as the
