Europe

B! B. J. ANDERSON

' HOBOKEN. N. J.. Dec. 2 -- The cloud of uncertainty hovering over Europoghas “become charged with ominous portcnts" and. unless caution and wisdom are exercised "may sooner or later menace anew the wall-being of mankind." Prime Minister Mackenzie King said here today.

In a statement issued on his arrival from Europe aboard the liner Nieuw Amsterdam, the Prime

jfinlsfer said:

“I am. I trust, not an alarmist. but 1 have seen hidden forces menace the security of nations in the recent past. and have been more or less behind the scenes ever since. In too many direc- tlons, the parallels between con- ditions as they were some years ago, and as we know them today. are becoming all too apparent.

“...'I‘he present meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers in London is of greater importance to the vlorld than the combined conferences and meetings which have been held since the termin- ation of hostilities. If...mora ln the way of frustration be exper- ienced, 1 believe it is difficult to say in which pass matters might come at any moment."

Of conditions in Europe. the Prime Minister, en route home to pick up the reins of government after a month's absence from his desk. was frankly pesslmi tic. In his lengthy statement, hi views, supported by u subsequent inter- view with Canadian newspaper men were that Western Europe "is {coking to Ambrlca with a hope only second to that which she manifested during the years of war."

Promises Farmers Higher Prices For Livestock Products

By George Kitchen

OTTAWA. Doc. 2 -—(CP)—Deie- Bliss to the Dominion-Provincial agricultural conference were told $11111!!! hv Agriculture Minister. Gar- diner that steps will be tgkm by the Dominion to increase prices paid farmers for livestock products.

Addressing the 200 delegates in a closed session. he authorized the publication of this one-line an- nouncment:

"I aim authorized to state that some action will be taken which Will result in prices rising an prod- UCtS 18d fr<‘m grain which will take care in future of tlhe increase brvilghb about in feed costs througth the removal of ceilings and with. drawal of drawback or subsidies."

Mr- Gardiner d-id not define the type of "action" which would be taken but it was presumed ltwould stem. in Dart at least. from the new food contracts being negotiated by a nine-mun British delegation 110w in this capital.

Shortly before Mr. Gardiner aci- dressed the conference. now in its second day. it was learned that the negotiations for renewal oi’ the ex. isting contracts, covering shipment of beef, bacon, pork and mutton, had been completed and that thc British mission was awaiting in- structions from London as to whether they should be adopted.

Expect Statement

A joint British-Canadian an- nouncement of agreement on the contracts, covering quantities

to be exported and the Britain will pay, is expected UTIDITOW.

Mr. Gardiner addressed the dele- gates, who represent Provincial Departments of Labor and farm organizations, as they began study of 1948 production objectives for Wihfif? feed grains. livesizpck_ and ibbh farm products. The targets themselves ‘hinge partly on the quantities t0 be purchased by the United Kingdom.

It is expected the British contracts will provide for reduc- ed shipimeniu of meats, partly because of an anticlpa‘ ’ de- cline in Canadian production of livestock next year and partly because of Britain's shortage of dollars.

This suggestion received support today in London dispatches which quoted infonmed sources as saying (that a complete cut-off in bacon imports frrrn Canada appears in prospect unless new financial ar- rangements are made with the dominion.

Protest Fertilizer Prices

At the morning sessions. the delegates discussed chemical fertilizers and heard protests from Maritime representative; against an increase expected in fertilizer prices next spring.

One delegate urged that the Federal Government consider the possibility of imposing price ceil- ings on fertilizer as ceilings were imposed on the prices the farmer received for his products.

A Government spokesman ex- pressed belief that if the disfilrifi’ between the prices of the things the farvmer bought and those he sold continued "it is likely that some action will be taken."

The conference will be followed by a two-day Dominion-Provincial farm labor conference which will be attended by some provincial delegates.
