Answers King's Criticism

when Mr. King charged that Dr. Munlon alone chose the course of pro 3 National Government, lie was merely showing again how much he was our. of touch with rculiiy, the Conservative leader said.

lie recounted than, a caucus of Conservative members of the House of Commons unanimously 0ll(i0l'S€d the proposal; that 1t was dlscumed with Conservative lead- ers lii all provinces and given their support with the exception o! one leild-er-“and he was only doubtful." Conservative Associa- tions across tLic country had given its enthusiastic endorsement, not one uttering a word of condem- ilfliil0ll.

"The trouble with Mr. King is that he cannot comprehend any leader placing country first and politics second in his thoughts," he declared.

A Dark Secret

Mr. King wanted to know the pcrsoiuicl of the proposed National Government but no leader of an opposition ever had given out his cabinet personnel in advance. Mr. King had not done so in i935. He had not told the public that l0 of his i6 cabinet ministers W0uld be lawyers, for instance.

FARM INBUME INCREASE IS IMPERATIVE

10-Point Wartime Program Is Draft- ed B y Canadian Chamber Of Agri- culture.

TORONTO. March l3—(APl— An increase in Canadian farm in- come is imperative if agriculture is to give its msximiun aid in the Domlnionfis war effort. the Cona- diari chamber of agriculture says in s. 10-point wartime rngram for agriculture published iiiday

In an accompanying statement. President H. H. Gannam said the plan represents the vlcw of 300.- 000 Canadian farmers and is cle- signed not; only to equip agricul- ture to do its part under wartime conditions but also provides mens- ures which would safeguard our basin industries under the disloca- tions of post-war economy."

Following are the 10 points of the plan:

1. In an effort to increase fnnn income the Dominion Government is urged to adopt the yirliiclpie, in its decisions governing price or marketing of farm products, to establish s fair relationship be- tween iihe price of agricultural products and the products the farmer has to buy.

2. Organized agriculture should be represented on all boards set up for sal eof agricultural products,
