Economists are" inclined to class mg last five years with a number or previous five-year cycles in ,mch agriculture suffered serious price recessions, such periods ex- mgd from 1&1-1896, W2)-I924 and 1929-1931. Certainly the past five years has been one in which agri- culll.lI'G has been forced to make ygry marked readjustment: and an the other hand the nature of the gout-price-squeeae has Men recog- ill” by all other groups.

In terms of parity prices is gm-nula for expressing the purch- uing power of agriculture oi goods gnd services offered by other '1-oupsl the average for the period 1946-1951 was little more than 109 per cent with a high of ill! per cent for 1940. It stood at li0 per cent for 1951 and fell to 84 per cent in 1954 and has remained at that level for almost three years.

THE P.M. AND BUTTER Recently the. Prime Minister of Canada in speaking to the Catho-

lic Social Life Conference in Tor-m onto was credited with the follow- ing statement and we quote "'F0l'l a great many of the farmers of; eastern Canada, the only thing that i has made it possible for them to live is that we, the government paid 58 cents a pound for their butter - and now we have but-m ter coming out of ears." This was an of the cuff statement and not contained in the mineographcd copy of the Prime Ministersi speech, for this reason we may as- sume that the Prime Minister suc-

The support price on butter has done a great deal to put a greater degree of stability in eastern A- grlculture, it is unfortunate that the Prime Minister should have given the impression of crltizing and redicullng a policy of his own Government.
