The Agriculture Minister said that a provincial potato subsidy would risk the loss of major markets in the United States and Ontario. Growers would act to keep out island po- tatoes.

“The U.S. would quickly retal- iate with restrictions in the form of new tariffs or dumping du- ties," he said. “The present fa- vorable tarrif took years of work to establish —- now it would be destroyed overnight.

The Liberal leader maintain- ed in a statement that Island po- tatoes have received govern- ment aid before Without harm to U.S. or other markets. In 1947 a government-appointed ex- port board had negotiated sale of 4.000.000 bushels in Britain to relieve a large local surplus.

“Last spring over 1,000 cars of New Brunswick potatoes went to Italy without jeopardizing their market anywhere. is fall they shipped several hun- dred cars to Argentina which al- so could have been subsidized without any damage to other markets."

Mr. MacRae criticized the Liberal scheme on other grounds He said the Canadian Horticul- tural Council opposes floor prices for potatoes because they tend to become. in effect. ceil- ing prices. are not like wheat. stored indefinitely."

In addition. he said. "a guar- anteed floor price would permit large operators and specultors to manipulate the free- market price of potatoes to their own profitable ends and the ruins- tion of the Island."

He contended that local deal- ers have already sold potatoes "well above the $1 a bag elec-

Roland MacDonald of South- port brought the meeting up to date on the expanded fund rais- ing program planned to expand and improve dairy products ad- vertising and promotion in Ca- trade.

The tentative goal is to set aside one per cent of dairy rc- turns throughout the entire year. Previously dairymen were ask- ed to allow plants to deduct one per pound butter-fat in

The plan is for a greatly ex- panded program to promote wi- der use of dairy products an or increased research into new uses for milk and provide evi- dence dairymen are prepared to make a worthwhile contribution to the solution of dairy problems rather than letting the govern- ment make all the effort.
