Hannam Discusses Proposed Boycott 0t Farm Machinery

TORONTO, Jan. 13 —(CP) —(l{. tH. Hannam of Ottawa. president of the Canadian Federation of Agriculture, said today he is pre- pared to swing the national or- ganization into a proposed bay- cott of farm machinery and non- essential manufactured products.

Speaking at the Ontario Feder- ation of Agriculture convention, ho said the move. sparked by the Ontario Hog ProduccrvAseccisticn as a protest against what hc term- ed iacfk of government action to bolster sag ing farm prices. has his "comple endorsatlon" andhe hopes it will spread from coast to coast.

The National Federation repre- sents an estimated 1.500.000 farm-

ere.

His statement followed outbursts during the morning session by spokesmen for the Ontario Hog Producers Association protesting against remarks made in an ad- dress to the convention by Claude W. Lockard. President of the In- ternational Harvester Occnpany.

Mir. , chairman of the agricultural oon-imitiAe of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce said he is “certain" that farm prices still are shove the 00st of production.

The convention pissed-s resolution endorsing a

Two other resolutions. parsed unanimously. called for floor pflcee for poultry products and county organisation of poultry producers.

This surplus brought Canada's credit balance in Novcmlber with all countries to the highest 1940 monthly balance — $55,900,000 - the Bureau of Statistics reported today.

November's surplus in trading with all countries compared with October's surplus of $37,400,000 and an average monthly surplus dur- ing 1949 of $13,000,000. It was slightly below the surplus of 1 $58,200,000 in November, 194a, but imore than double the favorable lbalance of $26,900,000 in Novem- y ber. 1947.

Canada's credit balance with 1 the U. S. in Novem-bcr helped clip a bit off the 11-month detficit, bringing it to $438,500,000. from $449,400,000 at the end of October.
