The Board was examining "very‘ WTPYUIIY" the beef shortage sit- uaticn in Canada and measured that might have to be taken.

Consumer rationing of meat in. voived sedous problems but "under cond H0175 oi real deficiency of any produrt the only means to achieve fair distribution is by consume: Tilllfllllfg."

Mr. Gordon's statement said: "BOlll iii this country and the _ the extensive 'e- quircmenis of the armed forcv, il-lq need to make exports to ill!‘ 1' x Klllgdfvil and other rallied rics ivliicli are already on n basis. and the great iiicrcn ‘c i: demand for civilian c0lli¥""‘ '

Mr. Gordon said the immediate shortages in Canada at the present time have been caused by a ﬁlli- ure in marketing oi beef cattle which are being held brick under the mistaken impression that Liizh- er Prices can be obtained in mar- ketirigs later on in the season. Under these conditions, the .5. . merit said, the shortage of simply is resulting in a tempo ary bhding rices for live (‘attic to a level w ch threatens the main- tenanoo or ihe retail price ceiling

“The danger oi block markets is always with us, and iliev will be bound to develop under condi- iiom oi severe though temporary shortage unless suitable action is taken," the Board chairman con- tiriued.

“The present shortage of beef is acute but it is believed that the immediate emergency can be overcome if it is realized that cattle prices cannot be expected to rise this season. The board is seri- ously considering the estabfsliment of ceiling prices on livestock, as hail been announced in the Uiiiied States, with a view to putting this measure in foroe if present condi- tions continue.

"Canadian cattle prices an high- er today than they were at the same period last autumn At the t‘me of the establishment rii’ the price ceiling last year, both beef and cattle prices were highe~ than the had been for many years. and hig er in comparison than any other major farm product.

"The problems involved in devis- ing a system of consimer rationing of meat are very serious and some time must elapse before organiza- tion plans are completed. Con- sumers should realize however that there are a number of alternatives
