The afternoon meeting was well attended, and the-chairman called fox optiinlsm and action.

, Gives Outline

Mr. J. G. Dennis, secretary of the

P. E. I! Co-operatlva Union pre-

‘ ’ a o a p. ‘Ico- operative marketing plan. He stat- ed that this plan and proposed by- laws had been recently submitted to the 29 ctr-operatives throughout the Island, but that there had not been time for replies. The neces- sary approval, therefornfrom the cooperatives was not‘ actually to hand. He stated: .

The name of the organization will be the IslandCc-opei-atlve Services Ltd.. with its head office in Char- lottetown. ' ,

The purpose of the organization ls to market all varieties of farm products which the farmer may wish to aell ‘and also to market all classes of fish from the fisherman.

It is considered that by com-

bining the marketing of all prim- ary products under one central or- ganization that the set-up will be on a stronger financial basis than if we had a separate organization for each primary product. By com- bining the saleof all products through one organization we would greatly reduce operating expenses, save duplication of effort, facilities aild give us more effective publi- c ty. It should also glve greater“ con- fidence to farmers who may be looking toward the production of some new crop which might not be common to the Island farmer.

This organization will be set-up on a share capital basis with group membership and only Co-operstlve organizations chartered under the Co-operative Association Act will be eligible to membership. Each member Co-operatlve will be rep- resented by two votlng delegates and there shall be no voting by PPUXY- ' .

The control of the organization shall be vested in the memberphip meetings which shall be held an- nually although specia! tings of the membership may be called at anytime by a petition signed by 10% of the membe ship.

The members at their annual meetings shall eleot the Board of Directors and they shall also have the power to dismiss them from office. -

‘The management of the Associa- tion shall be vested in a Board of Directors consisting of nine mem-

l bers. There will be two from each

County large. The directors shall in all their actions be under control and dir- ectlon of any regular or special meeting of the members. The business-shall be carried on according to.the following princip- s:

and three directors at.

1. Two votes for each member organization. _ __

2. Interest paid on capital at not more than five per cent per annum,

3. The surplus savings or net profits arising from the business shall after setting aside reserves and paying interest on capital be returned to members in proportion to their patronage.

4. Unlimited membership.

5. Political, religious and social neutrality.

The business of this organization will be derived from Co-operlltlve Associations and any other organ- ized groupa who may wish to avail themselves of. the services of this Association. Individuals through whom communities may be routing their primary products may also market through thla Association.

Non-members who are patronis- ing the organization may upon ap- plication to the Board of Directors and upon approval of a two thirds vote bf that Board be accorded the privileges of honorary member- ship, that is to say, the privilege of speaking, through accredited dele- gates, at general meetings of the association. but not of voting.

Mr. Dennis answered questions from Earle Inga, Mt. Herbert, who approved the idea, as it was not compulsory marketing legislation. Discussion between Mr. Mullins, Mr. O'Brien, Arnold Wood and Bob Connolly followed. .

Mr. Louis O'Connor, New London spoke in favour of co-operative marketing and Mr. Gene Gorman. Director of Extension, St. Dun- stan'| U iverslty stated that the co-opera ves were willing to put ‘up the money to try the idep out. It's strength lay in that non-mem- bers could also do buslnssa with it. Mr. O'Brien pointed out that money would be required and that prob- ably all farmers would be canvass- ed to supply loan capital.

Mr. Molwaerl‘. Address

At this point, Mr, R. J. McSween, Director of Marketing in the N. . Department of Agriculture and Marketing was called on to address tlle meeting. I-Ie reviewed the var- iolia ‘co-operatives in N.

-The St. James Guides sang the Vesper Hymn. after vlllich the Southport Guides, under the direct- ion of Mrs. William Reddin, pre- sented a most unique and inter- esting Stove Scene.

gary and the persecution of Protea- tant leaders in Bulgaria. -

He said the Canadian Charge d’Affalres in Prague, R, M. Mac- donnell, hnd been instructed to ask for visas fortravel in Hungary and Romania to obtain first-hand in- formation on religious persecution. ,' From the experience of other

in seeking diplomatic privileges for investigation of

Communist activities ‘behind

the Iron Curtain it would seem

highly unlikely that Mr. Mao- dorlnell will obtain the neces- sary visas.

Because Canada is not a party to the treaty of peace with Bulg rlu. not having been officially in as ate of war with that country, Mr. Mac- donnell's instructions w re restrict- ed only to Hungary an Romania.

- Bfiry Not Ended

In his recital of the series of re- ports from Eastern Europe on this

topic the Prime Minister said he feared the story was not nearly ended.

He added:

"From the Baltic to the frontiers of Greece the ceaseless pressure to impose a total Communist pat- tern goes forward," he said.

"The middle way of life, the only way broadfenough to contain in peace and tolerance all creeds and all faiths, ls being steadily cast aside and nowhere is this clearer than in the realm of religious be- lief.

"There ia no quick or simple so- lution. The program is'too vast and too many-aided. Old in essence it is hers new in form and it has the ruthlessnesa of new things.

"The government will continue to use whatever means are avail- able to support every effort to as- sert the principles of a " ' us and political liberty and to restore their practice."

Mr. St. Laurent spoke particular- ly of the Mindsserlty case, but re- ferred also to persecution in Hun- gary of the heads of the Calvinist and Lutheran Churches and Bul-

“The health of His Majesty, the King, which was a mailer of con- cern the past year is now much improved. We rejoice that the suc- cession to his office is secure in the persona of’ the heir-apparent, Princess Elizabeth, and her belov- ed husband, the Duke of Edinburgh. The birth of a prince who is heir apparent is also cause for rejoicing.

"My Government affirms its faith in the Government of Canada in supporting the principles of the United Nations Charter. It ap- proves the movement to provide an a equate guarantee of peace and security. by combining the strength of the Western Powers in a Secur- ity Pact. It is now realized that. there is danger in the present situ- ation and one of the great menace! is Communism.

"Here we have been blessed with excellent crops. While the prices for our. farm products and fish are not as high as in the p. " ., year we can look back on produc- tion in 1948 which enriched the farmers five million dollars more than in the preceding year. Ex- ports to Europe are hampered only by monetary difficulties.

"Employment continues on a high level and the scarcity of farm labour has been further relieved by bringing immigrants from Europe.

Margarine Ban

“Your approval will be sought of a Bill respecting the Dairy Industry in Prince Edward Island. The re- cent decislon of the Supreme Court of Canada has focussed the atten- tion of our people on the margarine question, and across the Dominion diversified opinions are held. My Government feels that n restrict- ed or modified sale of the butter substitute might well be permitted. providing the consumer la protect- ed at least to the extent that he knows what article he is buying whether in a hotel or restaurant or over the counter. The Legislation to be submitted for your approval imposes certain restrictions re- garding the color of margarine which may be sold in the Province. and provides for regulations with respect thereto.
