Urge Ban On Cut Rate Butter Exportsl

OTTAWA, (OP)—-Canada‘: dairy industry has urged Prime Minister St. Laurent to ban the export of government-held butter at out-rate prices.

At the some time it has warned that the trade may step out oi buying of slimmer surplus buttor unless the government announces soon its proposed selling price and policy for next winter.

The trade usually buys some oi the summer surplus for storage and sale in wintor months. it _it steps out of buying, it will mean the government will have to take up all oi the pi notion surplus under its 50-cent-a-pound price- support program.

J. J. Creighton, president of the

National Dairy Council oi Canada. said _I. letter. to Mr. It. Laurent

that’ buttcr production this year is expected to be greater than i.ll( 102,000,000 pounds produced last year. The letter, dated May it? was made public Monday.

on May 1 Canada had stock- pile oi 42,400,000 pounds. 30,000,000 to 85,000,000 more than was neces- sary. Mr. Creighton said. This in- cluded the governments 33,000,000.- pound holdings.

"we estimato that milk produc- iion will reach a very much higher level than last year. with cream- er)’ butter again absorbing prac- tically tho entire increase," Mr Creighton said.

OIJICT TO CUT Pilot! The government was offering its

3.000.000 pounds to the trade at 21,9 cents a pound below cost. This

was "tantamount to a consumer

.=uhsld_v and is serving to depress hlltteriiit prices received by dairy

farmers."

"This development will probably cncouraga farmers to produce even more milk in an effort to maintain gross income."

But exporting the surplus at rut-rate prices was no solution to Canada's butter problem. Mr. Creighton maintained. The United States was offering vest amounts at world prices, which were below the us. purchase price and this would tend to depress prices still lower.

"We feel very strongly that. if the government is to sell butter at less than the purchase price plus storage and administration costs. ways and means must be devised in order that Canadian consumers

and taxpayers may be permitted to benefit. rather than prospective purchasers within or without Iron Curtain’ countries," Mr. Creighton said.

In the Commons Monday John Diefenbaker iPO—Prince Albert) asked if the government has ship- ped butter to Russia in recent days. Agriculture Minister Gard- iner replied that no government- held butter has been sold outside Canada.

The dairy industry believes that unless there is some way oi nar- rowing the price gap between but- tor and margarine, Canada will have large butter surpluses.

"Everything possible should be done to ‘encourage an increase in butter consumption right here at home," said Mr. Crdgbton.
