iExpeot Favorable

World Food Prices To Continue Till 1950

WASHINGTON. May Iii-JAE’)- Amel-lcail farmers were told today that. world fo-od prices will con- tinue favorable until 1950.

The forecast was made by A81“!- culture Secretery Anderson lo e. congressional sub-committee. l-Iis testimony. given some time ago when Agriculture Department re- quests for funds were discussed and hitherto kept secret, was made public today.

He asked approval for his De- partmentls commodity credit cor- poration, with"authotlty to borlo v up to $4.785.000,000, to become a permanent organization. The C. C. C. supports farmers either by lending funds to farmers with- l-loiding surpluses from the mar- ket or by, buying surpluses oli- right and diverting into nou- cc-mmerclal use.

By "favorable" prices. Anderson said he meant quotations higher than the level at which the Gov- ernment ls required by law ‘a support farm prlces—not less that O0 per cent of parity.

Her next trip. said Yards. a tall angular man with thick traces of his native tongue in his English speech. would be to Australia to pick up returning slave.

At a press conference held a- round wooden tebles in the rooms of the council of Canadian South Slave of which he in secretary. Yards. decried suggestions the home-going movement was Com- munist inspired.

"I would think there are quite n few Communists among the Yugoslavs going home but I don't know many because we don't ask them,” he said. "We are a not!- politioel organisation formed three years ago with the aim of doing as much to rehabilitate Yugoslavia as we can, particularly through the Red Crou.”

The travellers. ha said. carried Canadian passports. Moot of them had signified they would be away six months or a year. This was in case they did not want to stay in‘ Yugoslavia but, he added. moat of them would not be returning to Canada.

Yarda himself returned roéently from a visit to Yugoslavia and was high in his praise of the "peopled democracy" he found tiiere. Be said he knew democracy‘ when he saw it and mentioned that in 1030 he fought. in Spain with the Inyaliat foroae-"One of my legs is still there." -

Scored ByMr. MoLure As Debate Resumes

(Special to The Guardian)

OTTAWA. May 23 - Charges that the present Government is wrecking the great fur and fur- farmlng industry through exces- sive taxation were levelled in the Housecf Commons this afternoon by W. Chester S. McLure. Pro- gressive Conservative member for Queen's as the budget debate re- sumed.

"I had been told two months previous to the delivery of the budget." Mr. McLure said, "that furs and fur-farming were in for a. real walloping.- Unfortunately, the information was only too ac- curate.

“Notwithstanding the fact that all figures and needs of this great conservation industry were placed before the Minister and his offic- ials. he took no remedial action with the result that the industry today ls in the doldrums.

"What is needed and urgently needed,’ Mr. McLure continued. “is removal of the processing tax of 25 percent and still more im- portant removal of the iniquitous
