OTTHWA. Dec. 1 -(CP)—A 20- pcr cent Julm in fertilizer pl-i-ces the Maritime Provinces next spring was predicted today by up; Dominion Department oi’ Agricult- ure in a report placed before the cpenl-ng meeting of the Dominion. Provincial agricultural conference.

'-‘As the Maritime Provinces are st the end of the longest and most expensive freight haul from sources oi supply of most of the chemicals in Canada. or have to obtain sup- ply in the United States where iériees are nowmilcilhlgher thonin

anada. prices of mixed fertilizers .in the Maritime Provinces next

lng may be substantially higher t an in Ontario and Quebec,” the report said.

"In the circumstances, it is pos- slble that price increases in the spring of i948 will approximate eight per cent in Ontario. 12 per cent in Quebec and 20 per cent in the Mariiimes.

"lt will not be surprising either if even greater price increases oc- cur soon. due to the over-ail world shortage of fertilizers.

“Prices tend to rise in the world price level which is still much hlgiher than Canadian prices. It is polelble that the phosphates and potash which Canada must import frpm the United States and other countries will increase again in price if supplies continue to be pur- chased in the United States for the needy countries of Europe and Asia at prices which would seem to ihave no ceiling."

- orrawa. Dee. l-(Bpeciallu Any downward revision cl the British food contracts‘ with 0sn- acia would have an adverse effect on the farm economy of Prince Edward Island. Walter R. Shaw, P. E. I. Deputy Minister of Alri- culture told The Guardian here today at the close of the first ses- sioll of the Dominion-Provincial Agricultural Corlferencef

That such revision is pending was intimated by Agriculture Min- ister J. G. Ganiliuer, who told of- ncials from the nine provinces and delegates from the Canadian Iod- erntion of Agriculture today that “we are again approaching the time when we may be looking for markets rather than trying tclup- ply them in at least some pro- ducts."

Mr. Shaw, who is representi ‘the Island Province ei. the 00n- rsranoe, accompanied by J-J. Mao- Donaid and l... 0. Parent. superin- tendent of the Charlottetown Ibr- perimsntal Station. admitted that his Province is fortunate in mar- kets it has obtained for its pro- ducts, but insisted that Island ‘farmers have still many problems to contend with.

"Our Province" he explained. “makes consider shipments of eggs for Britain to the Maritime Products Board. Ourtailment or reduction of these shipments would tend to have an adverse effect on our poultry industry.

“In other farm products." Mr. Shaw explained, "we would be affected indirectly if not directly. That is to say if revision of these contracts results in a general sur- plus of certain farm products. we would feel the impact of that sur- plus Just as other provinosswouid. particularly in livestock?!

Drew Explains Views 0n Provincial Role In Federal S

etr- up

MONTREAL. Dec. 1 -(GP) _ Premier Drew of Ontario said to- dfll’ that the Federal system of Government i5 "big burinegs" ‘my that it should be conducted in a business-like way with "Eula- imeetings between the Dominion and tho Provinces and with a co-ordin- ating committee set up at Ottawa.

Mr. Drew, discussing "the road to unity" in an address before the Montreal Canadian Club, said On- tario has never refused to sign an lgreesnent with Ottawa or with the Provinces. But he added:

"We believe that agreement is essential. but we will only sign an agreement when we meet to dis- cuss that agreement. And never, now. nor at any time in the future while I happen to have the re- sponsibility of office will we submit to terms dictated by a government at Ottawa, no matter what t-ile gov- ernment may be."

Mr. Drew traced the development of the Federal system in Canada. and referred to the "very great importance" oi the Canadian con- stitution, the British North Amer- ica Act.

It was impossible to conduct a government unless the rules were clear and unless they ivero not changeable except after "adequate discussion" had taken place.
