Huge Beef Market

Agriculture Minister Gardiner has announc-

the consummation of a new contract with lllQ Jlflfled Kmfldom. This provides that the British market will absorb not less than 100,. 000,000 pounds of Canadian beef at steady prices. Since s. prime steer weighs anywhere 50m 1.000 to 1,200 pounds live weight, the contract means the removal from the domestic market of at least 100,000 head of cattle. This ensures that, while there will be no need for beef rationing in Canada, the spectre of a sur- plus of live cattle vill be banished and farm- ers may count upon a good market for their

[Ioducts at satisfactory prices.

The contract is for a miiiirmim of 100,000,- 000 pounds of bccf, but .\Ir. Gardiner seems confident that additional supplies will be pur-

chased by Great Britain. Thus, the final total

of shipments may he three or four times 100,-

000,000 pounds.

In I940 the United Kingdom regained her position as the chief market for Canadian pro- ducts, which she has held since i932, with the single exception of the year i939. In terms of value, Great Iiritain takes nearly’ half of all the

producegxportcd by Canada, while the United

States takes slightly less than 40 per cent. Roughly speaking, Canada has sold $3 worth of goods to the United Kingdom, over a long

period 0f years, for every $1 worth she has

bought from Britain. Less than 2o per cent of our imports come from the “other Country,

as against between 6o and 70 per cent from the United States.

Now that there is an opportunity to con- solidate wartime gains, it is urged as most iiii- portant that Canadian farmers maintain the quality of their products. Long-term contracts will tend to guarantee inflated agricultural pro- duction against sudden and drastic curtailment of orders. \\‘c have been trying for years to obtain s larger share of the British beef trade. Shipment of processed beef, which is provid- ed for in this new contract, gives Canada an advantage over Argentina: we can lay down beef in the United Kingdom in l0 days, which means that it is fresh beef. Shipments from Argentina involve an ocean voyage 0f 30 (lays, so the product of our chief .competitor must be frozen. ,

In addition to taking Canadian beef. Great Britain has contracted to take a billion pounds of Canadian hogs, a quarter-billion pOunds of Canadian cheese at least. and the equivalent of 96 million dozen eggs. This means real money in the pockets of Canadian farmers and gives point to the recent statement of Lord Beaver- broolCs Daily lixgircss that Britain will be doing business at the same old stand after the war.

Biggest Provincial Cabinet

The C. C. F. is to have in Saskatchcivan the largest provincial cabinet in Canada. The cah- inet is to consist of l2 men, each with a port-~ folio. Ontario also has a dozen ministers. but three of them are without portfolio: other prov- inces get along with from five to nine.

Actually mort- thnn one-quarter of the C. C. F. members in the Saskatchewan House are to be cabinet ministers. getting $5,000 a year in addition to the sessional indemnity of $2,000. The Liberal cabinet had eight members at $5.000 a year, so there is a net increase in cost of $12,000 a year in salaries. But that is a small item in the bill. As the Ottawa Journal points out, four new departments have to be organ- ized. and these departments must proceed to spend the public money to justify the inevitable set-up of deputies. assistants, clerks, inspectors, and so on.

To be fair, the C. C. F. does not preach economv-—in fact thrift is not much discussed nowadays on the political platforms. Socialism promises a rz-orgtiiiiziitioii of society. however. and if l2 men are necessary to socialize Sask- atche\vau——omitting the farmers at that-one wonders what sort of a cabinet Mr. Coldwell would find necessary were he to take over Par- liament Hill.
