llall’! Decline Threatened

lt is a matter of concern as well as inter- est to learn, on the authority of Mr. Robert C. Smellie, president of the Notional Dairy Coun- cil of Canada, that despite the almost unlimit- ed possibilities of the export market, Canada to- day is not producingi sufficient milk to meet the requirements of her own people. Present shortages of butter, cheese, evaporated milk, ice cream and cream are largely artificial, the result of export contracts. Only a-very limit- ed amount of butter, and that of poor quality, is being exported to the West lndies, but over- seas contracts for other dairy products have loft on insufficient amount for the domestic trade after the growing demand for fluid milk has been met.

Canada's population is expanding, yet to- day there are fewer cows and heifers on farms than o year ago. ln i947, to meet consump- tion requirements of dairy products in this country alone, we would need iust under l8 billion pounds of milk. Present indications are that we shall have difficulty in producing more than l6 and a half billion pounds. lt is esti- mated that production in i946 will be one bil- lion pounds less than last year.

The time may arrive, and in the not toa distant future, when Canada will, of necessity, become an importing nation in order to meet the deficiency. This despite the fact that dairy production is natural to Canadian condi- tions, possible of vast expansion and with a tremendous world market for surplus produc- tion.

Mr. Smellie attributes this unsatisfactory condition to lock of confidence. "We have to establish the fact," he says, "that, foriyeors ahead, all the milk that can be produced in Canada will find a profitable outlet." Surely this should not be difficult. Judged by food standards, and despite recent price advances, milk and dairy products are still relatively _. cheap in Canada. They are cheaper than al- most anywhere else in the world. In New Zeal- and where one municipality has tried socialized milk distribution the farmers actually receive one dollar a hiindredweigiht less than do farmers here, yet the cost nf processing and distribu- tion on o percentage spread basis is no less than in Canada.

Some factors in the situation, so for at least as this Province is concerned, were men- tioned by Deputy Minister W. R. Show in his admirable review of the i946 farm season ap- pearing in The Guardian on October l2. Mr. Show noted that remarkably good prices have prevailed for milk cows and large numbers have been exported to the United States and Newfoundland. The exodus is still in progress and shows no evidenci. of abatement. Island dairymen have made marked progress through constructive breed policies, but the industry suf- feted a serious setback as a result mainly of oaor pasture conditions and to a lesser extent through inadequate protein supplies. Cheese a down over 3O per cent in volume as compared vith i945, while creamery receipts are approx- rnately l0 per cent lower. The fluid milk situ- ation is also, Mr. Show reports, of such a nat- are as to cause some concern. He adds?

"Higher costs of production under present price levels for dairy products ls directing the attention of dairymen to a ' analysis of fundamental factors governing the problem of adequate returns. An encouraging feature is provided in the study among our form people and more particularly by the young former group into the basic economics of their profes- sion."

Herein may lie the key to the whole prob- lem. At any rote, it~ is one which challenges serious attention. Canada's dairy industry last year, for the first time in history, exceeded a gross annual value of over $400,000,000, mak- ing it one of the great industries of the Do-' inion. Too important altogether to be allow- to decline. l

‘fut. Liberal Grltlclsm

The Halifax Chronicle (Liberal) adopts o die-hard attitude towards the Federal tax re- visloe proposals and roundly denounces the King Government for attempting to centralize all functions of government at Ottawa and reduce Provincial Governments to the status of muni- cipal councils. "Although the Federal Govern- ment has managed to persuade a small group of Provinces to fall in with its proposals," it gays, "the reluctance of British Columbia, the sllenco of Ontario, and above all the vehomence of Quebec all encourage Nova Scotio to feel it is not the only Province that considers these proposals to be inodeq ‘e, ill-considered, one- sided and oven dangerous."

, How, asks our Halifax contemporary, can the King Government believe unity can be main- mined, must less fostered, if a majority of Can- adian are obliged under a scheme of which they prove, to submit to taxation for the

inority? How long will it be pos- e“ let I Federal Government, whatever its strict constitutional powers, to maintain such " in: taxation? The Liberal paper us»: ‘more ls no doubt concerning the consti- y eight, of the Federal Government to 'the dlrectltaxas which form such a large t“ dicurslon.
