gutter Ration‘ Cut By One Ounce Each Week

(By Thqfianudian Press)

OTTAWA, Dec. l4-—Canadisns are going to get a one-ounce re- ducilon in their butter ration- from seven to six ounces per per- son per week—starting in January and probably extending into April to help bolster sagging stocks dur- ing the winter period of low pro- ductlon.

In making the announcement to- night, the Prices Board said it was necessitated by the fact Canada's butter stocks were down from those of last year. This coupled with a high rate of domestic dis- appearance and the fact produc- tion was at its lowest level during the December-April period, made it impossible to maintain the seven-ounce ration.

Theseasonal cut was rfothing new to Canadians. They have ex- perienced it every winter period for the last three years. And they had the promise the Prices Board that the seven-ounce ration would "be restored just as soon as SSPDllOS permit-probably in Ap- r ."

The Board said that the cut would be spread out over several months so ns to avoid a more rims- ilc curtailment or severe shortage of butter later in 194-6.

No change in coupon values viii be mode. The cut will be effected by missing a coupon every fourth week instead of every eighth Week as at present and the first coupon will he dropped Jun. 8.

The latest figures on Canadian butter production and disappear. ance bore ollt the Prices Board statement. Canadian butter pro- duction during the September- October-Novemlacr period of this your was 3.000.000 pounds holow the production in the same three months of 1044.

Canadian butter stocks at Dccl (his year totalled 5i 800.000 pounds, a decrease of 750.000 pcunrls from tile <nme period last year and l3.- 000000 hounds loss than the hold- in"s at Nov. 1 ‘nf this year.

House Approves Monetary Plan

By D‘ARCY UDONNELL

O'I'I‘AWA, Dec. 14—(CP)—-Onc of the most prolonged one-pnity fights against legislation presented to the Commons in recent sessions ended today when members voted 199-0 to give third reading to n bill ratifying Canadian signature oLtbe Bretion Woods lfltefilfitlbli- ul monetary agreement.

The 13-man Social Credit Party, which alone opposed ratification of the agreement from the time of its introduction more than a week ago marked the end of ef- forts to ave the legislation de- feated by calling for the division on the final reading. Only nine members of the party were in the House to vote.

Solon Low, Social Credit lender, John Blackmore (SC-Lethbridgfl), nnd Victor Quelch (SC-Acadia) wbo~did most of the talking a- gnlnst the pleasure were lolully applauded from all sides of the Houses when they voted. The gos- ture was recognition of thg fight they had waged unsuccessfully.

The monetary bill now goes to the Senate where it must. receive three readings before it can be given Royal assent and made law.

Low Given Warning

Mr. Low had completed the de- bsie for his party with the wart".- ing that the next. few years w ll

vindicate the judgment of the Social Credit Party. He added :-

"One day the Social Credit group in this House will be credited with having done something durlnglbls last week that might eventually save the British Commonwealth of Nntlons. I hope it will."

The monetary agreement was discussed after the Commons llnd disposed of a measure to give membe . of Parliament a $2.000 annual expensg allowance. Senate amendments to the Government's Emergency Powers Bill were ao- cepted and now await Royal ss- lent.

Pinsnce Minister Ilsley tabled lu lementary estimates of $21.- II, , bringing to 81915561045 the total estimates for the fiscal year 1860-46.
