Gardiner Urges t Early End To Probe Of Cattle Disease

OTTAWA. Ms! 7 --(C P) - Agriculture Minister Gardiner said today Canada's economic difficult- i may deteriorate further if the parliamentary probe on the gov- ernment's handling of the foot- and-mouth disease is not ended 50011.

The difficulties, he hinted before the Commons agriculture commit- tee. will develop through a pro- lnnged United States embargo on Canadian livestock

"Unless we get the committee closed up at an early stage." he told the members. "we are going to experience such economic diffi- culties that 0 anything we have experienced to date would look mild."

The difficulties would not be hecause of a spread of the dis- ease in south Saskatchewan. "but because are being shut back be- hind our boundary lines."

Publicity given the oomm.lttee'a hearings was nbt. helping in at- tempts to overcome livestock mar- keting problems and in fighting the disease "ihe way it ought to be fought."

The Minister's speech. charging Opposition members with trying to pi-eitidge the committee's decision on its inquiry, was made as mem- bers considered whether to end the six-day investigation or to call further witnesses.

opposition members said ad- dltlonal federal veterinarians. in- cludlng Dr. N. D. Christie. district veterinarian at Regina. should be called along with a private pract- itioner and some of the farmers whose animals had been slaught- ered in the attempt to control the disease. '

Preliminary work on the rehab- lliation of the clty'atreets will start next week. it was stated at a special meeting of the City Council last night following the aoceptance of the tender 'of the warren Marltlnies Limited for the

work. Councillors were told that the contract is beyig let on a 14.000

The tender of the Warren Pav- ing was lower on six of the eight items tendered on. including the two main ones for the asphaltic concrete base and the hot mix chip seal. Three 0 er Maritime com- panies bid on the work.

Councillor Gormley asked if it would not be possible to do the work with the present city plant and save oeo.ooo. Mr. Hewitt stat- ed that the work could not be done by the plant in two years and the resultant delay would have a deteriorating effect on the base which would be even more badly damaged by the time.

The Court is hearing an appeal from the P.E.I. judgment. which has blocked schemes of several provinces for the regulation of their interprovincial and interna- tional trade in farm products. Dc- cision of the high court will set- tle the constitutional issue.

Today. the Federal Government argued the P.E.I. court was wrong in declaring unconstitutional the Federal Agricultural Products Mar- ketiiig Act of 1949 and a plan for

the interprovlneial marketing of P.E.I. potatoes based on that statute.
