Potato Resolution

.\ ccntra' selling system for the potato industry has long been moot- ed in this Province. but it failed to receive the almost unanimous back- intv act-ordcd i: at the potato grow- ers‘ meeting here, on Monday night. The plebiscite which the Minister of Agriculture has been requested to hold will determine the views of our growers generally on this matter. The. move, if indorsed. will presumably involve a good deal of regimentatinn. and this must be ac- cepted voluntarily if the plan is to meet with success. The responsibility will be on the growers themselves inimake it work. The resolution adopted on Mon-

l l

day lndorsed the principle of a single. selling agency to regulate the mar- keting of the entire potato crop. but made this principle applicable par- ticularly to seed and export deals, suggesting ll'di all that might be required for table stock potatoes sold in i’anaila would be to organize and supervise the selling. It specific in pl'olii‘s‘llltz that the selling agency be administered exclusively by a board of Ufarmer growers", who would be nominated and elect- ed by the tJ'lI-‘dCl'S on a County basis.

The potam industry has been in grave difficulties in recent years. and this in. amount in part for the criticism which has been levelled

to its ('l't’lll'. necessary

’I‘hc growers feel strongly about a minority of dealers who. report- edly. have contracted for potatoes at cutthroat prices. On the other hand there is no doubt that the deal- ;h- a body. have done much to develop expand existing ones. Their experience in this field is something that could not be acquired overnight by a new

There are many other factors to be taken into account. What is of concern to ail of us is that the in- dustry be placed on the most ef- ficient basis possible. No one ques- to orira iii/at ion

A Different Slant

A curious angle to the drive for bilingualism and biculturalisin is noted by an Ottawa correspondent. in the Fort William 'l'iincs-Joui‘iial. This the fact that, without cx— ception. members of the chcral Cabinet of It'reuch—Canadian origin are fluently bilingual, whereas. with just possible one exception. none of the Federal Ministers titan

any

With the. French-spedkin}: Min- all able to talk well and easily in English. and of the English speaking Ministers able to get along even pnssably in French, the so-callcd "Dialogue" on the bi- cultural and bilingual isue becomes a monologue.

The way things. so far have been working out. the Frencli-speakiug Ministers have all been busy crusad- ing in Iing'lislh (‘anadiu pleading with the people of the other nine provinces for sympathy and under- standing for Quebec's hopes and aspirations. And the English-speak- inc Ministers simva haven't —because of the language barrier? --doiu;z any crusading! in Quebec. pleading with the people of that one province for sympathy and under- standing of the reactions. loyalties. and—if you want put it that way—Dreiudices of the other nine.

In these circumstances. it has been a. pretty one—sided conversa— tion. Perhaps if the (“abinet Minis- ters from Quebec crusaded for (‘on- federatiou I.\' rather than Ol'TSlllE Quebec. some, of the present con- fusion might. be cleared up.
