Contract

By HAROLD MORRISON Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA (COP)—Amid the con-

troversy over contract farming in Canada come indications that growth of such factory-type food production will lead to smaller federal outlays for price support.

Many farmers are opposed to this form of, so-called vertical in- tegration, where the big packers or food distributors step in and hire farmers to produce food un- der contract or under fixed sal- ary. « destroys the independence of Ca- nada’s farm folks and will lead to control over Canada’s rural ec- onomy by a relatively small ia- dustrial group.

Some farm organizations have even warned distributors to stay out of the farm field or farmers would retaliate by opening their own distribution outlets and re- tail stores.

But aside from this contro- versy, the government apparently feels that contract farming has some advantages. Agriculture Minister Harkness told the Meat Packers Council last month that in connection with hogs, “opera- tions of this type lend themselves to efficiency and comparatively léw costs’ of production.”

TOWARDS SURPLUSES

This kind. of efficiency could lead t) pork sunpluses and with- drawal of federal price support “for this kind of operation.”

“In my view,” he said, “there is no justification for using the taxpayer’s money to support livestock raising or feeding oper- ations by large feed companies, processing companies or retail- ing chains.

“I do not intend to operate the | Stabilization Act for the benefit of anyone except bona fide farm- ers and, of course, consumers.”

Last week Mr. Harkness—an- nounced that the price support on hogs will be reduced to $23.75 a

ABLE TO ENFORCE

However, despite the extraord- inary timing of the government’s announcement, there is no doubt that it is perfectly able to en- force its views.

In forthcoming legislation for a ratereducing subsidy of $20,000,-

000 for a year, it could simply include a clause imposing the

It could let the board perform

its normal function in the pend ing case and then, ‘should an in crease be awarded; exercise its statutory power of outright vete or suspension. It cannot apply this in advance of a board judg- ment. A third but unlikely possibility is that it might persuade the CNF to drop out of the application, which case the other railways might follow suit. But the gov ernment eannot force the CNR t do this.

Most likely course at the mom- ent, assuming that the cabinet’s view remains unchanged, is the use of its statutory powers. CPR STAND

On the question of what the move would do to the railways’ financial position. the OPR's at- titude might be boited down ts this:

Joey Offers Resignation For Provincial Fair Deal

ST. JOHN’S, Nfld. (CP)—Prem- ier Smallwood offered Saturday to resign political office if Prime

Minister Diefenbaker would give Newfoundland a “fair deal.” The 59-year-old Liberal prem- ier made the offer on the assump- tion that Mr. Diefenbaker’s ac-

tions in connection with the cur-! ope

rent loggers’ dispute and on the limitation. of financial assistance for the province were prompted by a grudge against him.

The premier said if the condi- tions were met ne would resign when the Newfoundland. legisla- ture resumes Tuesday.

Black erépe was removed from public buildings early Sunday as the officials period of mourning over Mr. Diefenbaker’s an nounced federal aid to the prov- ince came to an end. Mr. Small- wood said an extension of the mourning period would not “have been in keeping with the spirit of Easter.”

«| Opposition Leader Malcolm Hol-

lett said in an interview he dixin’t think tie prime minister had a personal grudge against Mr. Smaliwood. i

“I do not think the prime min- ister wants the premier to resign. When the real facts are pre- sented to Mr. Diefenbaker 1 feel he (Diefenbaker) will be states- man enough to give Newfound- land its just deserts under term 29. I do not think, perhaps, the prime minister has been fully ad- vised as to the full implications of the term ....”

At Prince Albert, Sask., Prime Mi Diefenbaker said he had no comment on Mr. Smaliwood’s statements.

“If Mr. Diefenbaker is acting towards us the way he is because of a grudge against me,” Prem- ier Smatiwood ssid io an inter.

Men Taken Off Ice Floe

CORNER BROOK, Nfid. (CP) Three men who spent 10 hours om drift ice in the Gulf of St. Law. rence off the Port au Port penin- sula on the west coast of New- foundland, were rescued Sunday by a United States helicopter,

The unidentified men, all from a little settlement called Red Is- land, had been hunting seals. They were reported in “good con- dition” though suffering from frostbite and shock.

The rescue was one of two per- formed by-a helicopter on the weekend. Seal - hunter Archie Young of Cape St. George; also on the Port au Port peninsula, became separated from his com- panions.

He was spotted on a small ice pan as darkness was closing in. The helicopter also from Harmoa USAF base in Stephenville, Naid., lowered a cable and lifted
