Blames Shortage Of lieinforcemenis I‘-or forl's fall

SAIGON, Indo-China. —Gen. Henri Navarre night blamed A shortage forcements from Francs

(Reuters) Monday of rein- for the

fall of Dien Bien Phu. He also criticized native Vlet Namesc will to

troops for lacking “the win"

The ousted commander-in-chief in Indo-China, Awaiting the Ar- rival of his successor. Gen. Paul i-.‘ly, said he could have saved the .ort.res.s, which fell May 7 after A 47-day siege, if he had received .wo dlvi.slons—-about 20,000 men- oy mid-February,

Navarre spoke At an informs. meeting with newspaper men be- iore his departure for France.

He said he did not think the {all of Dien Bien Phu was nearly as important as the failure of his troops to clear the coast of south- crn Annam during An operation iaunched in January. He said this iailure was due to Vlet Namese .roop.s who lacked patriotism And the will to win.

He said he had no criticism of the French government for not sending him the troops he re- quired, since France had other commitments, and ii. W85 f‘i0i. for .iim to say where troops should be sent.

DANGER IN CENTRAL PART

Navarre said he does not think northern Indo-China right now is in as much danger as the centra; part.’ where the Communists Are building up their strength.

He said he will stay in Indo- C‘nlnA As long as Ely desires, Add- ing that he, has not had leave since the end of the Second World War and hopes he wul not be given A new post until fall.

Ely, former French chief of staff. left Paris by plane Sunday night. His Job now is to regroup French and Vlet Namele forces to stall A delta offensive which Vietrninh commander Vo Nguyen Clap is ex. Jpocted to stage in the fall or en. icr.

Ely will be backed by crack re- inforcements from other branch possessions And by an Air force streamlined with planes from the united Mates.

GENEVA (AP)—Soviet Plorclgn Minister Molotov dominated the negotiations for peace in Indo- China Monday night on the eve of A conference session which may provide the key to the future of that war-ti ubled region.

Text Of Brief Presented By Dairy farmers

—Mr. A. B. I-lubley. of Summer- side. president of the P_E.I. Dairy- men's Association. And P. E. 1. di- rector of the Dairy Partners of Canada, last. evening ieleased the text of A brief recently submitted

A. H. flubley

to the Hon. James Gardiner, Min- ister of Agriculture, by the Dairy Farmers of Canada.

Mr. Hubley represented the dairymen of this province at this Ottawa meeting in which the dairy farmers requested that the 59-cent floor price for butter be maintained, pointing out that the cost of the support price on butter since 1949 has been only 2.6 cents per capita per year. and stressing in detail the reasons that make it essential to the general economy of Canada. that the dairy indus- try be maintained in A healthy condition. ,

Mr. Hubley reports that there was A full attendance of directors at this meeting, with the excep- iion of British Columbia, and that the delegation was well received oy Mr Gardiner,

Ml‘. Hublry last everiiiig urged .he dairy producers in this prov- ince to take note of the ad\‘€l‘i.l.5- ing campaign of the Dairy Farm- ers of Canada in the promotion of greater sales of dairy products, and pointed out the urgent neces- slty of all producers to suppqrt the one cent a pound Julie set- aside which gives the financial support to this campaign which is being conducted in the interests of the dairy industry. Mr. Hubley .s manager of Perfection Dairy at Summerside.

Following is the text of the brief submitted to Mr. Gai'diner:—

"There is the same need for price supports an agricultural pro- ducts today as when they were flrst introduced. Price supports for dairy products are essential to keep the prices of these products in A fair relationship with the rest. of the Canadian economy.

"It is the opinion of Dairy Far- mers of Canada that price sup- ports for butter have been reas- onably satlsfactory to most Cana- dians inasmuch As they nave maintained stable prices to all pro- ducers and assured consumers oi an Adequate supply of butter At reasonable prices.

"Although it was not An incent- lvc price, the 58 cent support price has resulted in butter pro- -‘uction sufficient to take care of C A n A d a's consumptive require- ments. The increase in butter stocks built up since May 195l_ (32 million pounds) represents 8,3 per- cent of the total production dur- ing the threc year period.

“It will be recalled that the sup- port price for butter. under the Agricultural Prices Support Act, was inaugurated in l949 as the logical outcome of An earlier pol- icy of the government which pro- vided that agricultural prices should bear A reasonable relation- ship to the rest of the Canadian economy. In the carrying out of the support price on butter since 1910 until March 1, 1964, the whole of the cost to the Canadian tax- Plier has been 81.461000, which represents An expenditure of only 2.6 cents per capita per year, Av- erage for the last. four years.

“It is essential to the general economy of Canada that the dairy industry be maintained in A heAl- thy condition. Therefore we feel that the 56 cent. floor price for butter should be maintained until at least. May. N56. for the follow- ing reasons;

"1. Our population is increasing at tho rAto of About 000,000 per- sons per year And our total per caplt.A consumption of dairy prod- ucts! II on the upswuig. Economic stubility in the dairy industry re- quires A inoderatc Annual expan- sion to meet the nutritive require- ments of this increasing popula- tion.

"2. Dairy farming. unlike inAny other branches of Agriculture. is not A short. term Approach, for tho dairy farmer must plan his productlo program well in Ad- vAnoo for maximum efllciency.

"I. DAiry,fArmiog is one of the but and most economical ways of mAintAining our soil fertility.

"4. A support price under butter At A reasonable level lends A measure of strength to the market for All dairy products.

"When it is necessary to dispose of storage stocks of butter If. less than support price dllry farmers of 0AnAda insist. thAt. prices to the producer should not be depressed in the process.

Needs Overhauling

By FORBES EHUDS

Canadian Preu Business liditnr JA:;Pi:.'R. Alta (CF:-—L,‘anada‘s ..1.ilc ta.'f1 stmctt.-1~ is Iiiili.|L.'l!'..f'0 and needs ov;:inu..-ig. lra U Needles, of Kitchener, 0nt.. said «iilonday. Mr. Needles. pi sidcnt of the B. F. Goodrich Rubber Co. of Canada, Ltd.-, was one of A panel of four speakers on A discussion of "Can- ada's World Trade —- its strength and weakness" At the annual meet- ing of the Canadian Manufacturers Association here.

In a prepared address, he said Canada's tariff structure not only gives insufficient protection to its industries where needed but also gives protection where it serves no purpose other than raising rev- enue.

The concept of A tariff for Kev- enue purposes should be aban doned as it only increases the cost of doing business in Canada, he said.

He did not advocate tariffs so high that they excluded foreign goods. because if Canada wishes to sell she must also be willing

, to buy. But he advocated that an

"open door" policy be replaced with something like A door “slight- ly Ajar."

TARIFF ANTIQUATED

There was A place for increased imports which both complement Canadian production and compete with it on fair and reasonable terms. Some types of machinery and equipment and A number of iron and steel products were not made in Canada because demand for them is limited and Canadian manufacturers must import them. Yet the “antiquated" tariff charged duty on these items.

Among other things. A new real- istic approach was needed to the whole problem of customs valua- tion on imports.

Mr. Needles said Canada is headed back to a farm economy unless it is recognized that there must be reasonable balance in the promotion and sale of manufac- tured products, as well As of raw materials.

For the textile industry, now hit by competition from other coun tries, he advocated sufficient tar iffs or “import valuations" to equalize the competition position between the imported goods And those locally produced.

F. D. Mathers. president of Royal City Foods Ltd.. New West- minster. B.C., outlining in his pre- pared address the benefits of world trade. said that "Australia and New Zealand want our salmon and lufriber, Japan our grain and stil- l‘ll'liiP pulps. Britain our salmon. lumber and agricultural products. South America and Africa our heavy machinery. Why don't they buy these things -- just. for one simple reason — they don't buy from us because we don't buy enough from them."

STILL LIVE IN PAST

World trade would bring a more prosperous world and A more prosperous Canada. The reason ‘there was not more of it was be- cause "men‘s minds are still living. thinking and believing in the past.”
