Seen As Fruit Growers

Horticultural Gb-uncil Protests Secrecy Of Ottawa Negotiations And Urges Retention Of Dump-

ing Duties And British Apple

Preference.

(C.P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

OTTAWA, Jan. 2o—13ritish Col; umbla and Nova Scotis. up 1e growers and Ontario's vegeta le zrowing industry are threatened by changes now being negotiated in the Canada-United Kingdom and the Canada-United Lstnies trade treaties, the Canadian Horticultural Council was told today.

M. V. McGuire. Vernon, B. C. Craig Caldwell. Kentville, N. s., and E. J. Atkin. Leamington, Ono. ex- pressed fear over possib.e tariff chanxcs and Caldwell was named chairman of the committee to com- bine the many tariff resolutions be- fore the council and present a sln:le one tomorrow.

Caldwell said loss of much of the preference on apples in the United Kinizdom market would ruin the British Columbia industry as 50 per cent of its product was export- ed there. Caldwell suid 90 per cent of Nova Scotiuks ripples were export- cd and whole communities would be ruined by loss of, or ma, 1- re. duction of, the British prefe nce.

Vegetable ' ‘ Pennlized

Atkin said the vegetable growing industry had suffered most in the Canada-United States trade treaty and less protection now, either throuizh tariff reductions or elim- inetion of “added value" clauses or dumping duties in the treaty, would mean the vegetable industry in southwestern Ontario "would be wiped out."

A resolution front the Britis Columbia Fruit Growers’ Associ- ation asked that "the secret at- tcndiniz negotiations (concerning the United Kingdom trade treaty) be lifted sufficiently. it possible. to knogLth l<>6lli2__i.O__Wili_QQ_i£ is ef-

IBUMMISSIUN

(By Carl Rcinke, Canadian Press Staff Writer)

OTTAWA, Jan. Zfi-Moritreal and Toronto districts contribute most income tax to the Dominion because they "really collect money from all ports of Canada" through national corporations having their head offices in those cities, the Rowcii Commission was told to- day by C. Frmer Eliott, Domin- ion Income Tax Commissioner.

While Ontario and Quebec drew their incomes from all over Can-

rada, that did not mean the other

provinces were as badly off as might be indicated from income tax figures. he said. No one could tell how much of the income 0f eastern corporations came frmn western provinces, nor could any- one tell how much of the profits of those corporations went back in western shareholders.

Mr. Elliott out‘ined the work of his branch, noting that in the past year under a new joint arrangement the Dominion col- lected Ontario's income tax 0f almost $5,000,000 at practically no additional c0st— although the province did pay $100,000 for the service.

fected and that opportunity be giv- en for full representation to a. properly - constituted government committee."

Another resolution from the Brit- ish Columbia growers asked the Ilovernment be petitioned against theremoval of tariffs and dumping duties on fruit and vegetable im- ports from the United States.

No Information

McGuire declared British Colum- bia mowers and shippers had been unable to wet definite information from federal about the proposed trade treaty re- visions. "yet the conversations add- ed to our conviction that what would be done would be detrimen- tal to ourselves."

If the four shilling, six pence a 100 pounds preference on apples twink to the United Kingdom were removed. or even reduced to two shillings, it would put British Colum- bia entirely out of the market, Mc- Guire contended.

British Columbia, he said. shi - ped half her apple crop to t e United King om. The United states had six or seven per cent of her crop available for carport. Yet the six or seven was more than British Columbia's half. Unit- ed Btates could cut export prlrm without hurting her industry much.

Serious Situation ‘

A serious situation would follow removal of seasonal dumping out- les on fruit and ve etable imports from the United Sfates.
