Agricultural Production In Canada Restricted, C.C.F. Leader Declares

OTTAWA. July 17-—(OP)-Gov- ernment policies have restricted agricultural production in Canada. M. J. Caldwell, C.C.F. leader, said tonight in an address prepared for delivery,

Mr. Caldwell, third sfiaker in a series of political talks by ell parties over the trans-Canada network of the CBC, dealt with the general program of his party and provisions of the recent hud- get. Previous speakers were Prime Minister Mackenzie Kit-lg and John Bracken, Progressive Conservative leader,

Discussing the world need for food, Mr. Coldwell said failure of the government to guarantee farmers adequate stabilized prices and to organize food processing and packing facilities had hamp- ered food production. Many farm- ers who had strained to llttain top production in wartime now had reduced their output.

"Farm life has not been made sufficiently attractive to bring

: younger people to the farms. The taxation of farm family ill- come has discouraged many of the producers. The budget has failed to recognized that the family of the farmer should be entitled to remuneration and that this le- munerati-on should be deductible from the head of the family's ln-

come as a legitimate expendi- ture."

Mr. Coldwell was critical of budget provlohns on the .ax-

ation of co-operatiws requiring them to set aside three per cent interest on the capital employed.

“This is a principle which strikes at the very root of non- profit making co-operatlve ssoc- iations," he said.

Compulsion on co-operatives to gi-vepgtronagc dividends to '.l"|.- members was “ah attem t to undermine the self-help eature of the movement."

“The failure of the recent Do- minion-Provincial conference and the entire absence in the budget of proposals to achieve the_ re- forms we were promised, leave

the country with no policy or plan for expanding the social services."
