Propose Higher Tariff On Wool Cloth From Britain

OTTAWA (CP) — A slightly higher tariff on imports of wool cloth from Britain is proposed by the tariff board in a report ‘o the government suggesting the Cana- dian industry may die unless it is given a better chance to survive against stiflfening foreign compe- tition.

Saying that a small tarillf boost would not do too much harm to Britain's exports, the four - man hoard recommended that the 50- cent-apound ceiling on British wool cloth-a ceiling in existence for 25 years — be boosted to 55 cents on fabrics used for suits and to 60 cents on those used for overcoats.

The board's 91 - page report, first phase of a detailed study of the whole textile tariff structure, was tabled in" the Commons

Thunsday by Finance Minister Fleming who had asked for a tar- iflf recommendation. He proposed -to give the report “very careful study."

The board made no recom- mendation on boosting rates from non - Commonwealth exporters though the Canadian industry has complained bitterly over a flood of imports from Italy.

GATT OBLIGATIONS

Mr. Fleming observed that the existing tariff ceiling forms part of Canada's international obliga- tions under the General Agre- ment on Tariflfs and Trade and any change would require new ne- gotations. But Canada took action at a GATT meeting last Novem- ber to reserve rights to renego- tiate the ceiling in the light of the

board’s study then in progress.

AMONG THE FARMERS

Federation of Agriculture Newsletter

IMPORTANT DAY

June 8 which saw the -annual meetings of the rural school dis- tricts of the province was likely in many regards one of the most important days in the year‘. It is an interesting fact that these meetings are one of the very rare occasions on which the citizen meets with his fellows and de cides the amount of taxes he is going‘ to pay. So far as the host of other taxes, such as income, sales, excise, gas, amusement etc., are concerned the taxpayer

has little choice in the matter. Curiously and regrettably‘how- ever the privilege of taking part in the school meeting is not ex- ercised by a high percentage-of the people, in some cases apathy

- leads to a situation where find-

hgig a quorum may be a problem Generally citizens measure up to

‘their responsibility and are more

and more recognizing that teachers must get more money, this belief is reflected in the gra- dual increase in the supplement from year to year.

More and more, trustees are faced with the problem of collect- ing taxes on farms that are either only partial-ly or not operated from absentee owners and from persons who live in the commun- ity but own no property. Most acute is the problem faced by the rural community which finds it- self suburbanized. Ta-nation de- mands increase and the number of land owners decline creating real hardship for the latter.

POTATO ASSISTANCE

. Fa ers who are the owners of any uantity of potatoes will watch with keen interest move- ment, market demands and the possibility of assistance from Ot- t»awa.~Probably the strongest ar- guments that can be advanced in

- support of such assistance is the

fact that the movement of Island potatoes was well ma-intained throughout the season and that at the present time California is moving duty-free potatoes into Canadian markets. The growing of potatoes involves heavy invest- ment, a great deal of ha-rd work and much uncertainty. The grower who finds himself with any large quantilty of pota- toes which cannot be sold suffers a very severe misfortune, perhaps more severe than an individual should be expected to bear. Again it should be pointed out that the need exists in the potato industry for a continuing organization which can develop a system of some stability in potato market- ing and which will function at all times rather than only when the industry finds itself caught in a sudden downpour. BUTTER PROBLEM All over the world there seems to be a surplus of butter with Cfinsféquenvt lowering of prices and “)9 Imposition of trading restric- l"‘°n5 by many countries. Italy has ‘stopped the imports of but- ter Into that country, Denmark has lowered its initial price to producers to 25% cents per pound, Ireland, Australia and New Zea- land are all having problems ex- porting their surpluses, Sweden has a butter surplus although it exported 65 million pounds in

‘ 1957.

Recently ten countries met ll

problem and agioed that three things might help. 1. Increase butter consumption in all butter producing countries. 2. Raise the fat content of milk sold for fluid purposes, particularly in count- ries wIhere standardization at a low test is practiced. 3. Promote the use of milk and milk pro- ducts for welflare purposes.

BIG PAYMENTS

A list of 67 farmers who last year got more than $50,000 apiece in Federal “soil bank" payments

ate recently by Senator R. L. Neuberger of Oregon. All of the payments were made under the “acreage reserve” feature of the soil bank, which makes payment to iarmerrs for taking land. out of certain crops for one year. Sen- ator Neuberger said the list prov- ed the soil bank was benefitting the big, one-crop farmer rather than the average farmer.

Of the farmers on the list 70 per cent were located in Arizona, California, and Texas. All of the big payments were for not grow- ing cotton, wheat or nice. The year's top soil—bank payment was to the Garvey Farms, Colby, Kansas for $278,187.38 for taking 22,779 acres of wheat land out of production. ' DAIRY INCOME

Cash income from the sale of dairy products in March for Can- ada amounted to $32,888,000. This represented an increase of ap- proximately 15 per cent or $4,261, 000 in comparison with the same month last year. The weighted average price of $3.38 per hund- red pounds of milk was 3 cents higher than in March 1957. Fluid milk at $4.63 per hundred was 15 cents higher than in March 1957. Creamery burtter-fat increa- sed from 60.3 cents to 64.7 cents per pound, and dairy butter at 61 cents was four cents higher than in March 1957.

Milk used in ma-nulllacture in- creased from $2.79 per hundred in March, 1957, to $2.90 per hund- red in Ma-rch, 1958. Cheese milk advanced to $2.65 per hundred, an increase of 6 cents per hund- red in comparison with the same month a year ‘earlier.

POTATO WAREHOUSES

For some years Federal assist- ance has been available for the financing of potato warehouses. There is no special legislation covering this other than by or- der-in-council under the Appro- priation Act. The regulations pro- vide that there shall be a-ssi~st‘- ance for any co-operative associ- ation which would pay not less’ than one-quarter of the total cost.

The bala-nce to be paid by the provincial government which would be reimbursed to the ex-

tent of 37% per cent of the total

cost by the Federal government.

Of course participation by the province is necessary otherwise no construction will take place under the policy. BUTTER PRODUCTION

Even with favourable weather and with grass at least two week ahead of last year, butter pro- ductlon has so far not caught up i0 15_’57 levels in this province. Possibly two main reasons may be the scarcity of hay during

was displayed to the U. S. Sen- Imml meeting

The industry's immediate reac- tion to the board's recommenda- tion was to urge the government to implement the “limit ” boost immediately. It had requested elimination of the ceiling and a spokesman said the board pro- posed giving the industry only about 30 per cent of what it had asked.

The spokesman figured that on the wholesale price ‘of cloth, the boost would mean an extra 25 cents in the cloth required for a suit and 10 cents in the cloth re- quired for an overcoat. The board in its report, emphasized that the proposed tarifif increase might mean higher consumer prices.

From past experience, said the board, it would sem clothing prices slightly and also reduce the quality of cloth used.

' home without any discomfort or inconvenience.

in one hemorrhoid case after another, “very striking improve- ment” was reported and verified by doctors’ observations

Pain was promptly relieved. And while gently relieving pain, actual reduction or retraction (shrinking) took place.

And most amazing of all—thIs improvement was maintained in cases where doctors‘ observations were continued over a period of many months!

that sufierers were able to make such statements as “Piles have ceased to be a problem!" And among these sufferers were a very wide variety of hemorrhoid con- ditions, some of even 10 to 20 years’ standing
