No Danger Of Losing

[diner Statement Answered Authoritatively At Dominion-Provinclal Conference On Agriculture.

Minister

By Jlmes McCook

UITAWA, Dec. ’l — (C P) - Suggestion that provincial govern-, ments consider sharing with the, Dominion the cost of a bonus help maintain bacon production was made today by Agriculture Minister Gardiner at a closed met“!!! of the Dominion - Pro. vinciai agriculuure conference, it was learned tonight. ~

Bacon production to meet Brit- ish _, ements to an extent greater than the contracted 450,- 010,000 pounds annually during each of the next two years came under discussion at the confer- ence as farm output objectives for i944 were reviewed.

Total shipments during 1943, it is hoped, will be 015000.000 pounds. At the morning conference session Rt. Hon. J. J. Llewellyn, British Food Minister, said that if no more than 450,000,000 pounds is shipped next year the Brtish bacon ration may have to be cut frcm four to three ounces a week.

Delegates said a hlgher- price would help maintain hog produc- tion near its Present level.

Jlllhlle theconferenoe may re- turn to discussion of an actual hog production objective, giving the lumber 0f head required in I944. it was understood the dis- cussion turned to other subjects. leaving the provinces to consider the suggution that they share with the Dcminion any increase in the hog price.

‘Weed Have No Fear"

Col. Llewellyn said before conference today that the Canad- ian farmer need have nu fear that by going into hog production ex-i tenslvely now he will have his‘ market slip away from him. l

Delegates said this statement might be a factor in considarat-l ion by the provinces of the sug- gestion that they share a bonus to| encourage hog production in 1944-‘

Provincial ministers of agrlcul-i ture and the deputies are attend- ing tlie conference and it was con- sidered probable they could give federal representatives an indicat- ion of their attitude on the bon- us suggestion before the confer- ence ends.

Col. Llewellyn said the United Kingdom consumer, treasuring his four ounces of bacon a week, looks to Canada to see that his wartime ration is maintained.

Gardiner‘: statement

(In a statement made at Re- gina on Nov. 30 Hon. Mr. Gardin- er was quoted as sayinl: "We are not going to keep urging the Can- adian farmer to produce __,‘- hogs to supply the British market when the British advise us that. ihoy may not require our bacon] production after the war." ‘rhe- Ca-nadian Government was "lus-l tified in looking after Canadian agriculturedirst and foremost. Just as the British Government must look after the future of the British producerlfi he said. He em- phasised that the Qfanadian Gov- ernment was taking care that it would not be caught in the same position that it had been follow- ing the last war when there were surpluses of wheat and livestock in Canada. and no markets")
