Farmers Need Watching, Montreal GrOcer Claims
By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer MONTREAL (CP) — Farmers
should be watched more care- fully. a gracery man said Thurs- day.
Human Nature being what it is, it seeks loopholes in the law, added C. A. Majeau. secretary of the 3,000-member Quebec Retail Food Merchants Association, in an appearance before the royal commission on price spreads.
In Montreal’s Jacques Cartier public market, for example, some district farmers had a habit of switching potato grading labels when the government inspector wasn't looking, he maintained.
The higher the grade, the better
the price obtained.
URGES ENFORCEMENT
Mr. Majeau's point—one of a number- emphasized before the commission—is that there must be greater enforcement of gov- ernment grading regulations to protect consumers.
But he also raised a number of points to protect the independ- ent grocer and butcher aga'nst the chain stores and supermar- kcts.
The corner grocery man didn't

like the idea of manufacturers giving big price discounts to the chains which bought in bulk. He didn’t like the idea of price cutting; of selling below cost to attract customers; of retailers ig- noring the manufacturers’ sug- gested selling price.
The use of premiums. coupons and trading stamps should be done away with. They merely “tricked” the consumer. He got a price cut on one product but paid more on other products in that store, the association claimed.
There should be no extension of daily shopping hours since this merely added to the grocers’ ia- bor costs and would mean higher prices to consumers.
COULD REDUCE PRICES
Cattle exports should be re. stricted to prevent scarcities at home; Quebec milk regulations should be c h a n g e d. allowing stores to sell milk at prices lower than on home deliveries. Mr. Ma- jeau estimated stores could cut prices by two cents a quart if the provincial dairy commission; allowed this.
commission. For example, com- mission memiber Mrs. Dorothy Walton of Toronto suggested that retailers by cooperating with consumers in their drive for milk
price differentials at c o r n e r d
stores might achieve success as in some other provinces.
But commission member Romeo Martin of Montreal, 3 co- operative representative. ques- tioned whether the fact that re- tailers are combining through va- rious organizations to buy in bulk was not responsible for de- pressed farm prices.
“Perhaps.” replied Mr. Majeau. “It is difficult to answer categori- cally.”
KEEPS HOPING v
How did the independent gr - cers of Quebec manage to stay in business. continued Mr. Martin, if as the association says the aver- age individual net income is about $3,600 a year?
Well, he starts out in business thinking he is going to make a lot of money, Mr. Majeau replied.
“When he realizes the benefits are not so high, he goes on hop- ing. Eventually, if he has good

NOT Moan THAN
Strong representation for im- mediate and effective action to safeguard Prince Edward Island's transportation link with the main- land was made by Premier A.W. Matheson in Ottawa this week. While attending the Federal-Pro vincial Conference on the Fant- eux Report, Premier Matheson impressed on Federal authorities the seriousness of the car ferry situation at Borden.
GRAVE SITUATION
Pointing out the gravity of the situation faced by the Province because of the recent fire da~ mage to the ferry Prince Ed- ward Island, and the engine over- haul needed by the Abegweit, he requested the Federal Govern- ment to take immediate steps to provide a suitable ship in case either ferry became incapacitated and unable to carry on.
Premier Matheson's views were expressed in discussions with Hon. Angus MaoLean, Minister of Fish- eries, and J.R. Baldwin, Deputy Minister of Transport. He also tried to meet with Hon. George Hees, Federal Minister of Truan- port, but Mr. Hoes was not avail- able.
In his conferences with Mr. MacLean and Mr. Baldwin, the Island Premier reviewed in de- tail the ferry situation at Borden and emphasized the serious blow to the economy of the Province which would result from any dis- ruption of the regular ferry ser- Vice.
He reminded the Depot Min- ister of Transport that th Prince Edward Island Legislature passed a resolution on March 16. 1955, calling for an additional car ferry

TUNIS (OPl—IPresident Edith Bourgu‘iba Thvrsday accused the United Arab Republic of flirting dangerously with communism and of interfering in the internal af- fairs of other Arab countries.
The 55-year-old president de- clared Tunisia's solid support for the West in outlining the reasons his country out diplomatic ties with the U.A.R. Wednesday.
Bourguiba told the assembly that Tunisia’s pro-Western policy “has enabled us to avoid many troubles.”
He added that Egypt’s armies were "not going to destroy it.” REACH BREAKING POINT Relations between the U.A.R. and Tunisia reached the breaking point in Cairo last Saturday when the Tunisian delegate at the Arab League accused the U.A.R. of try- ing to dominate league activity. Bourguiba said many Arab League members feel as Tunisia does about U.A.R. tactics.
Relations between pro~West Tu- nisia and neutralis't Egypt never have been warm.
Bourguiba is particularly bitter because Cairo has given refuge to Salah Ben Yous-sef, his main political rival, who was sentenced to death in Tunisia in 1956 but escaped.
The president referred to a plot to kill him last March, and said that “in giving protection to the person who tried to kill me and

In thus burning his bridges be- hind him. Bourgu‘ilba took plenty of risks in his newly independent nation, where poverty and eco- nomic woes feed discontended na- tionalists who are anti-Western.
Although Bourgiba’s influence remains overwhelming he has been facing rising criticism in his country where French aid has been all but cut off and other Western aid still is hardly more than a trickle.
Bourguiba said, in effect, that Tunisia could not do business with the UAR. so long as President Nasser was in control.
