New Tolicy Is Adopted For Canada

“Acute Shortage” said

To Exist Across Whole Country. UITAWA. Sept. 3—(CP)- The

Wartime Prices and Trade Board tonight assumed rigid control of the beef cattle trade in Canada, naming the government-owned War- time Food Corporation as sole ex- porter of beef cattle in a new policy aimed at meeting the ‘acute’ shortage which the board said now exists "across the whole country."

The Food Corporation "will. when necessary, buy cattle in the domestic market to support cattle prices in Canada."

The boa-rd disclosed in its un- uouncemeni. that Canadian packers have been required to give priority to military requirements for some time, “yet notwithstanding this action military requirements have not been met."

"Accordingly," said the state- ment, "the board has carefully re- viewed the whcle situation and made recunmendations to the gov- ernment, which decided upon a complete change of policy. making Wartime Food Corporation the sole. exporter and st the some time assuring not less than ceiling prices to producers.

"This should remove any incent- ive to hold back cattle st one period and press sales at another.

"Thus, while the new policy may not restore beef supplies immedi- ately. the mnovul of any abnorm- al incentive to hold cattle should result in resumption of the custom- atlyhfiow of murketings." .
