‘Donald Gordon Says Meat Rationing Is Here To Stay

Says People As Whole Favor Meat Rationing

(By The Canadian Pres!)

vancouvnre, Sept. ers-People as a. whole are strongly in favor of meat rationing, Donald Gordon, national chairman of the Prices Board, said today.

“A relatively small but vocal group including a bunch of hood- lums in Montreal who have forced the closing of some of the stores there are getting far more atten- tion than they deserve." said Mr. Gordon, referring to the recent forced closure oi’ meat stores in Montreal.

He predicted that in other cen- tres where strikes have been in- augurated in protest of phases of meat rationing the movement will die out.

"They will have to realize that everybody must suffer to relieve the misery and hunger in Europe." he continued. the goal now is to reduce for Canadians their en- tire supply of meat to the point needed to keep them healthy."

last week.

The amendment said that pend-{ ing the establishment of more equitable prices for fanm products,‘ consideration should be given to‘

setting prices at levels not less than 90 per cent of parity.

Parity is considered that point where prices for farm products are in fair relation to the price the farmer has to pay for goods and services. in some cases the period of 1926 to 1029 has been chosen to fix alparity for farm prices.

Under the wheat policy. the Government undertakes to pay not less than $1 a bushel for wheat during the five year period en-ding Sept. 30. 1945. The current export has been fixed at $1.56 a bushel.

Hirohito Interviewed By New York Hmesman

(By The Associated Press)

NEW YORK, Sept. 25—-The New York Times in a special dispatch ducted Emperor Kirohlto as saying n an interview that he had no intention of hav- ing his war rescrlpt em loyed as former Premier Hidekl ojo used it when Japan launched her sneak attack on Pearl Harbor to open the Pacific war.

Hirohito told the '!‘imes' Tokyo correspondent, Frank L. Kluck- horn, that he has! expected Tojo to declare war against the United States in the usual, formal man- her. if necessary.

The Em eror stated. Kluckhorn reported, that he was opposed to war as an instrument of policy and pledged that any social chan- gas in Japan would be made by constitutional means. He said he would favor a constitutional mon- grchy like that o1 Britain.

Kluckhorn said his interview hed been authorized by both the Em- peror nnd Gen. MacArthur. Des- cribing his reception by Hlrohlto. the correspondent wrote:

“Dressed a black morning ooat, stri ed trousers and w le a stiff wing collar and

a black tie, Innpemor Hirohlto re- ceived me standing before an ordi- nary cheir that sewed as is throne in a large, rather magnific- ent room on the third floor of the

‘There was no formality. I did not bow nor was I asked to do so. I walked straight across what was an essentially bare chamber and the Emperor extended his hand. which I shook.‘

Klucfllorn said he was the first American to see the Emperor since the Pacific war began and the first foreigner to interview him since the Japanese siunnder.

"My initial unpreaalon," the cor- respondent added, "was that he was about the average height of the Japanese, that he looked sol- emn and that he talked with em- phasis. He looked straight into my

The police estimate was that 1.- 996 office and loft buildings were affected, with more than 15,000 workers idle. The strike began yes- terday.

The strike was called by Local 32B -of the Service Employees Union following a Regional War Labor Board directive granting day workers $28.05 for a 44-hour week, instead of $30.15 for a 40- hour week, which had been de.

(By The Canadian Press) Even as the closed-shop protest of butchers against the Dominiolfs meat rationing system spread to embrace some grocery stores in

Jdontreal Canadians heard in blunt l words

from Donald Gordon that meet rationing is here to stay, at lease as long as needed.

The Prices Board head, speak- ing for ublication in Vancouver, character ioally ulled no punch- es, offered the pu lie-butchers ill- cluded-no alternative.

"There is no esca e," he declar- dd. "And no possib ty of cancel- lation of orders imposed."

His atement came late yester- day while in Montreal gangs of anti-ration "vigilantes"--said to be butchers aligned in close-your- shop-or-else formation against the rationing system-toured the met- ropolitan area of the Domlniorrs greatest city extending the meat shop close-down.

Some butchers claimed they clos- ed down under pressure willie Montreal Police claimed store own- ers were not co-operating and that police rnust have identification oi’ all intimidators.

eanwhile at Ottawa, though there was no indication of any de- finite action lanned, officials left no doubt the Govemmentls power to act should the strike de- velopments make it advisable in the Government's view. Under the War Measures Act, still in forcc, the Government could take over closed stores and operate thcm under public control, using the RCMP. to guard them if neces- oar-y.

Some retailers in other centres also kept; their stores closed. ‘This was the case in Victoria. in Ed- monton, Lethbrid e and Camrpse in Alberta and n some smaller Nova-Scotla towns.

In other centres dealers have voted to delay until Oct. 1 any strike action in support of their claim that meat rationing was too bound up in "red tape" through use of coupons and tokens and other regulations. In other_ cen- tres protest meetings are still lo be hed at which decisions or pro- cedure will be taken.
