He said he understood the Privy Council's decision on the casted- ian Agriculture Federation's appeal against the Canadian Bust a Court ruling that sale of but r substitutes is legal in Canada -would be handed down in August. Whe- ther the new legislation would ever be proclaimed would depend on the Council's decision.

But later Attorney-General Walt- er Darby said in his opinion the legislation made possession of margarine a violation. It would be the onus of the person charged to prove to the Court that the marga- rine lmported was for privatauso. "The bill doesn't specifically say that importation for private use is ill- egal," he commented. "But,-it says that ‘the having in possession of any person of any article the sale of which is tilted by this act shall be cl ed to be prima facie evidence of an intent to sell or RG3) the sang in violation oi this ac

one clause of the bill says that its purpose and intent is to “pro- hibit transactions in margarine which tako place wholly within the province." But another says no per- son would be prohibitsd front hav- ing margarine in his warehouse for "export sale" if be furnished the Agriculture Minister with a complete inventory.

Mr. Baker said the bill was drawn up after unanimous agreunent in consultations between representat- ives of the Provincial Dairymeirs Association and the Legislature's agricultural committee. Changes were made ‘in a bill originally in- tended for introduction in the log- ialature which would ‘have allowed modified sale of butter substitutes in the Province.

The dairymen felt that with a six-cent drop forecast in the price of butter they would be "rapped hard enough" without having to compete with margarine. he said. They wanted assurance of pro- tection. _

Possibllty that the new legisla- tion may run into cuusultutional trouble" was seen by one observer in a section that provides "1! for any reason any section . . . of this Act shall be held unconstitutional the ranaining portions shall be and con us in force without regard to that -so invalidated."

Under the legislation the Lieut- enant-Govsrnor - in - Council can malts regulations allowing for seiz- ure and confiscation _of any “illegal article defined in the legislation."

one clause permitting the mak- ing of regulations requiring whole- sale and retail merchants and food dealers to keep records which could be examined was deleted.

The amendment was moved by William Hughes (In-oth Kings) who said the information desired could be obtained from other rec- ords now required by the Federal Government. it the provisions of the new bill were carried out. it would mean "unnecessary and use- less" work for nierchants now ni- ready "snowed under" by paper
