SEIGNORY CLUB, Montebello, Que., -March 17-Gilbert McMillan intimated today that a break in Canadian dairy prices may develop if the Canadian Government de- clines to impose controls on dairy lnlports.

The president of the Dairy Farmers of Canada told the an- nual meeting of the National Dairy Council not to be too aur- prlsed if many oi Canada's cheese factories remain closed in the spring. I

"II this is allowed to happen and a break Kl prices occurs, it may give the ublio some tempor- ary benefit but it will be fatal for the dairy farmers and eventually for our whole economy."

Other Developments

As the council's three-day an- nual convention began, there were these other developments:

1. Antoine Rlvard. Quebec solicitor-g e n e r a I, announced that for the first time in many years, Quebec milk dis- tributors will have a represen- tative on the Quebec Dairy Commission. Previously, only producers and consumers were represented.

. J. S. Turnbull, council president, announced that the council'wlll ask the Canadian Government to impose an ex- cise tax on buttersubstltutes to bring butter-substitute prices more In line with those ior butter.

3. The council was told im- ported dairy products were undermining domestic prices, and milk producers and (uh v trlbutors should get together to work out a milk price for- mula which would please the industry and consumers. with movement of dairy cattle

OTTAWA, March 11 -(CP) - A Saskatchewan farmer charged today that the C. C. F. Party is composed of "conditional Canad- ians".comlmltted to the creed of world revolution.

Stepping into a Commons feud developing between Liberal and C. O. F. members. I. R. Studer (L- Maple Creek) conceded during the Throne-Speech debate that he could not describe the Socialists "Communists." -

gested. "that a Communist has to be a socialist. but you do have to say that before you can be a Com- munist you have to be a socialist."

Mr. Studer'a speech came in the wake of a controversy which de- veloped last week after Affairs Minister Pearson said the C. C. 1''., through criticism of At- to be moving towards the soviet position. I

The issue flared up sporadically as the Throne-Speech debate eon- tlnued.

Joseph Noseworthy (CCF-York South) said the House surely has not reached "a state of dictator- ship...whereby one dare not dif- fer with government policy, even on a matter as serious as our con- flict with communism. without be- ing charged with aiding enemy."

John Decore (L-Vegrevillc) said he had 190 intention of trying to "lmlpllle Communism to the C. C. F. Party" last. Friday when he read into the record a statement by Tim Buck. Labor-Progressive leader. endorsing the C. C. F. stand -on N.A.T.O.'s newly-announced military goals. ,

The Trans-Canada Highway can- not go over the hills oi Slrath- gartney because the grade ls steeper than allowed under the agreement with the Federal auth- orities. However, Premler J. Wal- ter Jones, resuming his part in the debate on the Draft Address In the Legislature yesterday, re- fused to answer questions as to the exact route the highway will follow in this area.

The Premier said, In reply to a direct question from Mr. R. R. Bell, that he did not want to be responsible for any speculation in farm lands. Mr. Bell argued the information should be given to the House, it should not be kept secret. Premier Jones said this Province was only one of the parties to the agreement and he could not and would not reveal the information requested. "When it was first mentioned I said I would carry the load of work in- voived, and I have. I knew I would not be here lonm' he udd-

ed. He said the Government had practically forced the Canadian

National Railway into giving the service at Southpbrt and stated that yesterday morning 9 taxis were required to bring the pos- sengers to this city and most. of them had to return for a second load. 'But the Premier was criti- cal ol the railway for taking the passengers to the station instead of to an uptown depot which lie thought would be more conven- lent.

"I say it is a ridiculous situa- tion when they unload at the station instead of uptown," the Premier remarked, and added that though he did not know who was responsible for the ruling he hoped there were some railway- men present to hear his remarks.

Hlilsboro Bridge Problem

Touching briefly on the matter of the proposed new bridge across the Hillsborough River, Premier Jones said that the so-called Chinese Bridge had cost 5469.000. He said, too, that the Govern- ment had been experimenting with sandstone to make ap- proaches for a cheaper bridge since the one formerly purchased could not now be used following the cessation of train service on

OTTAWA. March 17 A- (Special) -- Under the present government, Prince Edward Island and Queen's County in particular is forced to play second fiddle when it comes to Federal public works, W. Chester S McLurc, Conservative member for Queens said in the House of Commons today.

He charged that the proposed federal bu ding for Charlottetown has been ittle but an unfulfilled election promise for the past six years. when it should be an ac- compllshed fact.

All that has been done since 1945 for, this buildin he said. was the acquisition of a te and the draw- ing of architects' sketches and plans.

"The Government," he said. "even made cuts of the building and published them before the last Federal election In the press of Prince Edward Island, saying 'her'.- is this wonderflli building! bllt when 1' ask the Minister of. Public Works when It will be built. I find that he does not know. I now sup- pose that this building will be held

Gardiner-lilves Information To Comnllns

(By the Canadian Press)

Agriculture Minister Gardiner held out some hope in the Com- mons Monday for an early lilt- ing of provincial embargoes on livestock movements. imposed since the outbreak of foot-and- mouth disease in Saskatchewan.

He told Solon Low, Social Credit leader, that though he can make no "definite statement." at present, all discussions held with the embargo provinces so far "would suggest that there will be an early roilef. . ."

The Minister's disclosure came shortly after Premier Campbell of Manitoba told a reporter in Oil- awa he has held further conferen- rcs with Mr. Gardiner on the foot-and-mouth situation.

Isle said his government has "no desire to rock the boat" but lift- ing of Manitobnls embargo against livestock shipments east would depend on assurances from agri- cultural experts that the disease is at an end a the danger of its spreading elmlnntcd.

The motion asks immediate Fed-

Other developments:

Butchering of Ilenlthy livestock for humlln consumption began in the fool-and-mouth quarantine area around Regina to ensure a fresh supply for consumers in the area where meat can no longer be imported. Federal oflclals said the first slaughtering: were at a small slaughter house north of Regina. Othcr small slaughter houses in the quarantine area will be back in operation this week. At Ottawa the Health Depart- ment lssucd a statement clessing as "groundless" any fears that foot-and-mouth disease can be spread to humans eating meat or dairy products.

Departmental experts said cases of foot-and-mouth disease in hu- mans are "medical curiosities." The statement was issued after the department receive reports that sales of meat had fallen off because of the fear the disease could be passed on to humans.

Sealers Break free From Ice

v ST. JOHN'S, Nfld., March 17- (CP) - Most of the Newfoundland sealing fleet broke free of tightly packed ice along the Labrador coast today but veteran sealers saw trouble ahead in continuing northeast winds.

It was feared here she lnlght have to abandon the season's voyage. Winds plied the tee floes tight- ly against the land and were driv- ing the seal herds towards the Straits of Belle isle where seailng conditions are difficult and dan- gerous.
