R.E.l. Potato Dealers Discuss Current Marlietling Situation

..A meeting of PEI. poem; dealers was held at Robson's Res. iaurtmt in Summerside last,eve- ning.

A lengthy report by the dealers' representative. Col. 6. 1:. Pull on orders emanating from the Mar- keting Board was question and answer period fol- lowed. ,

One of the principal subjects discussed was a. matter that has some to the akntlon of the Po- tato Dealers Association concern- ing price cutting of P.E.I. potatoes on Montreal and Toronto markets ay one or more P.E.I. dealers over :he last week or so.

In a report given to the press immediately following the meeting it. was stated that the larger deal- .-rs and some of the smaller deal- In: expressed surprise that action has not taken by the board re- garding this issue. as letters from brokers. etc.. in Montreal and To- ronto showed that there has been eonsiderable price cutting over the past week or 10 days.

However it was disclosed at the

given, and I.

meeting that the board had now given up the idea of delivered prices to these points and that the only price prevailing at the present time was the board's f.o.b.i price which might be advanced at any time.

Col. Full's report disclosed that 110 assemblers and '12 dealers had indicated their desire to co-operate with the pool. This is almost 100 per cent of the dealers and as- semblers on P.E.I.

But only approximately 2.900 growers had. up to this date. regis- tered with the pool. Consequently the dealers feel that they are in an uncertain position as they believe this figure indicates that some of the farmers do not wish to enter the pool and the dealers said they felt obliged to also handle the po- tatoes of farmers who ntlght not choose to register with the pool.

A resolution requesting clarifica- tion of this situation, so as to enable dealers and assemblers to handle the potatoes of growers registered with the podl. and also those who are not. will be present- ed to the Government at an early date.-S '

Trade Minister Howe Reports To Commons

UITAWA, (GP)-Trade Minister Howe. estimating 1953 Prairie grain income at an all-time high of 51.104.000.000, said Wednesday the government feels there is no need for loans on farm - stored grain.

Entering the Commons throne speech debate. Mr. Howe said he has received Prairie representa- tions for such loans but he also has received Prairie suggestions -- "greater in number" - that such loans be turned down.

He read a telegram from Roy Morler. president of the Alberta Federation of Agriculture, urging that farmers be not encouraged to borrow money at this time. Mr. Marier said the Western pile-up of grain could not be considered a "calamity" but a condition strengthening the farmer's econ- omic position. ' E. G. McCullough (COP - Moose Mountain) claimed there was an immediate need for loans as an "expediency", though it was not a good (long-term policy.

Blow For Freedom "W4 Mr. McCullough suggested the government adopt an "ever - nor- mal" granary policy to provide permanent storage for 100,000,000 bushels of grain within five years, with the government financing out- right grain purchases from farm- ers. This would stabilize the econ- Omy and void 3. "fire sale" in the world grain market.

Donald Fleming (PC - Toronto Eglinton) suggested Canada ship wheat to Commonwealth countries in Asia. Thus, Canada could strike on "effec'.:lve and dramatic" blow for freedom. Canada might lose the "greatest opportunity" it ever had to promote freedom's cause

His lei-equipped planes can land on many small northern lain-s which are frozen but not on big lakes like Great slave lake at Yol- lowknife, N.W.'I'.
