liot Debate In Commons

(By FRANK FLAIIEITY)

UITAWA. Feb. 9 —(OP) Canada may ship 1,000,000,000 pounds of bacon to Britain this year as compared with a con- tractual obligation to ship a total of 000,000,000 pounds in the two years 1944 and 1945. Agriculture Minister Gardiner sold today in the Commons.

Drawn into the Throne Speech debate by an attack on the gov- ernment's farm policies by T. C Dvllslus Weyburn) Mr. Gardiner told accumulating surpluses of meats and the pro- blem of obtaining shipping to move increased quantities to Bri- tain.

Old-Time Argument

The debate had been expected to end today but it suddenly flar- ed into an old-time political argu- ment with members pounding their deskks in applause as Mr Douglas and Mr, Gardiner, both from Saskatchewan, argued across the floor.

Mr. Douglas, Saskatchewan C. C F leader, started out by de- manding federal action to prevent further postponement of the Saskatchewan general election in which he will lead his Party"

The discussion warmed when Mr. Gardiner took the floor and accused the C. C. l". of tak- ing its ideas from National So- cialist countries which had ap-. piled the principles of regimenta- tion and control to create full employment.

M. J. Colclweii, C. C. F. Nation- al Leader, said the Minister had no right to call members of the C. C. F. group National Socialists. Mr. Gardiner replied that often parties had to accept names glvzii them by their opponents and ask- ed what was the proper name for people who wanted "National S0- fillfiilaliiik 9f, e1s!y.lh1nr_ 111,0»:

m. .

The Agriculture Ministers first remarks on the meat question were made in reply to a question from John Blackmore; new demo- craev leader. It prompted anoth- er question from Mark Senn (PC- Hcidimand) to which Finance Minister Ilsley replied consider- ntion "can be given" to doing n- way with meat rationing and meatless Tuesdays in Canada.

Mr, Gardiner said later that a C. C. F. speaker had said the time had come when hog production was down.

But if marketing of hogs con- tinues on the basis of the last three months “we will have close to 1,000,000,000 pounds of bacon to send to Great Britain this year. even with the great marketings of hugs which are going to our own market at present.
