Battle Of Controls To Open At Ottawa

Jggslly reunited the middle-slid a.

OTTAWA, Feb. 9 — (C?) — Th0 august House of Commons head Monday into what now is popularly known as the battle of controls, expected to be a long and perhaps bi-tter word-war over G vernmenvs plans to seek t ion of some 50 of its briskly- contested w-artlme restrictions.

The signal for the political storm was given early this week when Prime Minister Mackenzie King moved that If the debate on the speech from the Throne was not concluded by this week- end that the House adjourn the debate from Feb. 0-—Monday-to Feb. 24 to deal w h the control measures.

Some of these bills already have been introduced and given fir‘ reading but. generally speak- ing, they are minor measures dcal- ing with changes in the Wheat

the Defence Act and other stat- utes to bring them into conform- ity with practire under wartime orrlers-in-councll.

These bills, which the Prime Minister" played i-n the first cate- gory of control measures ‘~ be in- troduced, will come up for second reading end debate Monday and Tuesday.

Some may be debated and oth- ers may be carried with little ols- sent but the battle proper- is not expected to start until the Gcv- ernment comss Q with a glngle bill which the Prime Minister has said will "provide for the con- tinuation for a limited period of certain transitional measures to the number of about 50."

That slufzlc bill. which will dcftl largely with control of prices, sup- plies and rentals, is expected to bs the one which will have to withstand the full shock of n Opposition attack. mainly from the Progressive Conservative benches, on the Government's post-war stabilization program.

Individual Progressive Conser- vative members already have come out in the Throne Speech debate with demands for the removal of controls on the grounds that they are hamperin production and em- ployment. Tie official opposition may also derive some support. from the Social 'Credlt group whllo the C. C. l". Party likely will side with the Government. H

B—(Special)— The National Dairy Council of Canada. butter factories in all the Provinces. dairy companies and milk producers are assemb- ling their forces to defeat a bill Senator Euler of‘ Kitchener pro- poses to introduce in the Senate 1° Permit the importation of oleo- margarine into Canada.

Last session the Ontario Sen- ator introduced a similar bill which was defeated on second reading in the Senate with all Prince Riward Island Senators opposing it. The vote was 43 to 80. but as conditions have altered since last year. Senator Euler be- lieves he can convince a sufficient number of his colleagues this year to turn last year's defeat into :2 i947 victory.

First steps against the oleo- margarine lsill have already been initiated by the Canadian Feder- ation of Agriculture whose presi- dent, RH. Hannam described the bill as "impractical" and "unfair to butter producers" in a public statement issued over the week- and.

‘The Federation's stand is being re-ec-hoed widely in the dairy industry in all parts of the Do- minion. Robert C. Smellle, prc- sident of the National Dairy Council of Canada told the Guar- dian today that the Council en- tirely concurs with the stand of the Federation of Agriculture in opposing the margarine bill.
