United Farmers Of Ontario

They returned home without gaining any satisfaction from Sir Robert Borden's Union Govern- ment and at a stormy meeting in Toronto's Massey Hall the group. without funds, uiganizati , or experienced leadership, launched itself into provincial politics.

in 1919, in the first post-war election. the UFO found itself in office. with E. C. Drury of Orillia premier and a hastily - drafted program of legislation.

Mr. Drury. now 79 and the sheriff of Simcoe County. patched a cabinet together in 14 days. but only against the vigorous intra- psrty opposition on which the UFO eventually foundered. BROADEN APPEAL Drury tempted to broaden the party's appeal, and introduced Ontario's first legislation provid- ing minimum wages for women. protection of deserted women. long-tenn credit and rural electri- fication.

In the 1028 election Drury had neither the unified support of the UFO nor backing of the city dwellers and only 17 candidates were elected. while the Conserva- tives elected 77. Its term in office was sprinkled with stories of free , ”' the

WELLINGTON (Reuters) - The new year opened with a flurry of storm warnings on the state of New Zealand's ,v , indictiug that the near future may bring a bleak period for the export trade on which the prosperity of this chminlon hinges.

Wool. meat. butter, cheese, ani- mal fats and skins normally ac- count for 90 per cent of New Zea-

moditles. only wool at present shows a healthy tone. Sales of meats and dairy produce show serious declines and poor pros- p-acts of recovery.

Such a situation is more serious for New Zeaiand than for most other countries because of her high degree of dependence on ex- ternal trade.

Current market trends. except in wool. show the phenomenon of

The gloom of the outlook is ac- centuated by the failure of two newly-developed industries to ful- fil thc high hopes which had been placed in them. These are the ex- port of newsprint. production of which has been hampered by mechanical troubles at the new Kawerau mill, and the campaign to sell soft pine timber in Aus- tralia where the building trade has exhibited unforeseen sales resist- ance to an unfamiliar material.

Export meat production this season may be up by three per cent over last season's, but prices have dropped in a much greater ratio. At present, New Zealand lamb is realizing four per cent less than a year ago. mutton six per cent lcss. and beef 25 per cent to 30 per cent less. No early re- versal of this trend can be ex-

Red Party in Pa

By COLIN FIDIT WARSAW (AP) - The United Workers Communist party Mon- any appealed urgently to its Iag- gtng membership to get organised for Poland's parliamentary elec- tion Jan. 20. Behind the appeal apparently lay a sudden realisation that, de- spite the single ticket process that limits freedom of the voura, the party and some of its leaders may suffer a tremendous loan of face. The party newspaper Trybuna Ludii said editorially that disorg- anization. dissension and apathy among party menbers have left the Communists in the lurch while the two nihcr parties tolerated within the Red-run national front are entering the .ampaign "boldly and with their heads held high." They are the United P party and the Democratic party. The election is organized on a single list drawn IIP 5! the na- tional frnnt. which also includes organizations such as trade up Ions.
