purpose briefs submitted. Delegates In Accord

Provincial and Dominion dele- gates were in accord that as the briefs filed and arguments to be submitted thereon would be very comprehensive and would fully cover all aspects under considerat- ion by the commission, this pro- cedure wouldi be the best possible to ensure thorough presentation on the part of both the Provinces and the Dominion.

The considered opinion of the commission, provincial and Dom- inion delegates allke, was it was most desirable the proceedings should move forward by the fixing of definite dates for the conduct of the enquiry. This desire, it was ex- pressed qn all sides. was to ensure the report of ‘the commission would be available during the com~ ing session.

It was the first formal sitting of which, in addition

were held

Maritime Provinces were repres- ented in full force. Premier L. P. D. ‘Illley and Attorney-General W. H. Harrison weio prment Brunswick. Premier W. J. P. Mac- Mlllan appeared for Prince Edward Island; and Premier Angus L. Mac- donald, unavoidably delayed in his arrival until the early afternoon duc to train connections. attended for Nova Scotia.

Maritime Delegates Welcomed

Words of welcome were xtended to the Provincial delegates .by act- ing Premier Sir George Parley and wnistsr GI Pinsnc. E. N. Rhodes. The Dominion Ministers entertain- ed the Maritime delegates at luncheon. Attending the conference also were C. G. Hoewsrt and F. S. Rugg, Montreal lawyers on behalf of the Dominion. p

To a den-cc a hang-over from the Sir Andrew Rae Duncan commis- sion of 192b, the presmt- enquiry will consider the claims of the three Provinces by the Atlantic for payment of higher subsidies from the Dominion‘ treasury.

and Prince Edward Island may be touched upon in the discussions. On a matter of privilege, repro- seutatives of the provinces drew ,the attention of the commission today to a news despatch in a Mon- treal paper, it was announced. The provincial representatluzs claimed the despatch might be prejudiclalto a fair and impartial hearing of their claims. The chairman, Sir ‘Illa-mas White, expressed himself |aa regretting any comment of the character mentioned and assure" the Muritime delegates any such comment would- riot preiudlce th" Maritime Provinces inthe eyes of the commission. Request was made of the press by the chairman to refrain from similar comment, of which complaint was made, as the subject before the commission was sucl; judice and under the Enquiries A .

committee had been appointed to consult with the Provincial Mar- keting Board. "We were ppolnted," he said, "to prepare a scheme un- der the Natural Products Market- ing Act. The Act provides that a number of persons shall comprise the local board, and gives the basis of their selection. that according to the Act either

submit a scheme, but before a scheme is submitted there can be no Marketing Board." The Provin- cial Board had done 800d W°Tk 1n arranging for the preparation of schemes such as this one. If the producers felt themselves compet- ent to market their own products satisfactorily, would there be any necessity for any intermediate mar- keting machinery at all? He did not think it possible to have on the same board producers and ex- pert marketing men. He did not think there was one man on the

Mr. Scales: “Cannot you submit it- first to the Provincial Board?"

Mr. Mallirisori: “We cannot un- der this scheme." '

m. Scales moved that the scheme‘ recommended be tendered to the Provincial Board for their consideration, and th after giving the matter considers on another meeting be called for the purpose of coming to some ‘ecision.

Hon. Mr. MacDonald

Hon. J. A. MacDonald, M.P., said there seemed to be some misunder- standing about the recommenda- tions made by the committee. "1 think we can all give credit to the, committee for working well and producing something. That is the first nece y step. There is no question under the Act about tho right of any body of men, repre- senting any industry, to get to-

committec who would be willlnS i0 sit in a joint meeting of producers and salesmen. The producers do not pretend to know market con- ditions, and it would be impossible‘ to proceed with the control divided between both classes. o

lvtr. Shaw; "If you are regulstedl by the provisions of the Act. why l should it be impossible for you to proceed?"

Mr. Msllinson: "If that is the in- tention, then we find ourselves at a loss." He maintained also that the Provincial Board could not act as a local board under the statute.

Mr, Shaw: “Would 37011 lli-BW m" functions of the Provincial Board as you understand them?’

Mr. Mallinson: "I don't under- stand the functions of the Provin- cial Board urider the Act at all. 1 never have. It is a ease of puttinil the cart before the horse. You should have waited until you hall a scheme. That is m! Wllwplwn”

Mr. Austin Scales: "The differ- ence of Win10" l! 5° S1119 m“ ll is not advisable to take any celi- crete vote tonight. The conditions which are outlined in the pftlvisions set up by this local board have all been thrown at us. and it takes time to come to any concrete de- cision.

Mr. MacDonald then re- fbrred to the terms of the Domi.ri- ion Act, adding that he believed we

If you wanted to make s change, why didn't you suggest a change in l that, section where the local board names the farmer producers who are to be consulted in matters of pooling, price-fixing, and so forth? Let it be that those farmer pro- ducers are named by the producers. ‘That is an easy change to make. and then we can get somewhere." Mr. W. W. Crosby, Marshfield. moved as an amendment; that the local board be constituted of three dealers and two producers, one from the east, the other from the western section of the Province. Mr. Chester P. McCarthy said he wished to make his position clear as» a member of the Provincial Marketing Board. "We are not anxious to take responsibility," he explained, "but if we are to be held responsible for the operation of these schemes, then I say that we should not be ignored." He repre- sented fishery as well as farm pro- ducers on the Provincial Beard and was prepared to discharge his du- ties conscientiously. But it was ne- ecssary to know whether the re- sponsibility of the Board ceased with the appointment of a local

action should be taken. He suggest- ed that the action to be taken at] this moment was to mark the bsl-I lots and find whether the meeting, wanted to proceed further, or not; Mr. Allan MaeLeod: "We are finding no fault with what the committee has done up to now. but if we mark those ballots we will constitute them the local board." Mr. R. E. Mutch: "This is the way I feel about it: The committee has brought in a splendid repormi but in that report they have prac- tically nominated themselves as the

and have reserved themselves the right to appoint five growers to sit in with them. Why did they take that right out of the hands of the growers? Why did they ask for it? ‘Ills growers have the right under the scheme to nominate only one individual whc will have anything to say in the marketing of their potatoes."

Colonel G. Elliot Full: “All I read this ballot, it in no way confirms. the scheme which is presented. It simply confirms the principle. With I regard to the present difference of opinion resting between the com- mittee of five and the Provincial Marketing _Board. the Attorney General has made a ruling which states that the Act functions in Hines Iiiwlhi island through the Provincial lhflstirig Board."

Ml‘. Scales said his amendment was very much in line with Mr. MoaLeodb motion. It provided that the scheme be received by the Pro- vincial Board, to be passed on by them, and that during next week

viricial Board would call another meeting of dealers and growers to comc to souls conclusion. "At that meeting we can make a motion to appoint a board, or do as we see fit." he added.

Mr. E. Howatt, North Wiltshire, thought the committee made a mistake when they suggested who was to be nominated to the local board. The committee scheme. if carried out, meant that the Pro- vincial Board would be ignored. It should satisfy the meeting if the
