Canada Dam

Who would have thought no longer than twenty years ago that an irrigation dam in far off India would one day be named for this country? Yet, within a few days our Minister of External Affairs, Mr. Pearson, will preside at the formal opening of "Canada Dam" in West Bengal. not far from the old capital city of Calcutta. it is an indication of Canada's growing influence in areas far beyond its own borders. But it is far more than that; it is eviriciico of this country's aware- ness of its responsibility to partici- pate in the strengthening of eco- nomic structures in the under-priv- ileged areas of the world. It is safe to say that projects like the Canada dam do more to enhance the pres- tige of Western political institutions among Asiatics than all the doctrin- sire pronouncements that the West might export over a period of many years. A dam makes possible better

irrigation which, in turn, means bet- '

ter crops. a more adequate supply of water, pi higher standard of liv- ing--a clear, easily understood re- Iponse to a people's need.

This is the heart of the Colombo Plan. Its full effects will not be known in 3 year, nor in a decade. not perhaps in a generation; but his- tory will reveal them in splendour. It is good to hear that Mr. Pearson has it in mind to ask the Govern- ment to increase its contribution to the plan this coming year, and it is particularly heartening to hear that Canada's labour organizations are lending their support to his request. "I Canada is to be a "great power" she must be prepared to do great things for those parts of the world which need strong helping hands. The Colombo Plan is good for Asia- tics. in that it enlarges their eco- nomic prospects; it is good for Cana- dians. too, in that it broadens their horizons and widens their opportun- Ities for world service.

Potato Price Support

There seems to be some confus- ion as to the functions of the Agri- cultural Prices Support Board in connection with the potato industry. The confusion arises, apparently, from the fact that this Board oper- ates under two separate acts of Parliament. In the current issue of the Economic Annalist, issued by the Federal Department of Agricul- ture, the purpose of these enact.- ments is explained as follows:

The Agricultural Prices Support legislation,-passed in 1944, may be used to provide price support for all agricultural products except wheat. To be eligible for support commodi- ties must be "designated" by order In council. Prices may be supported by outright purchase by the govern- mentor by underwriting the ma rkei through ' guarant es or deficiency payments. There i. no statutory pro- vision for determining the level of price support; this is decided by the government in each case on recom- mendation of the Prices Support Board. Prices support measures are at present in effect for butter, eggs and hogs. .The act has been iiscd at various times since 1946 to support In addition prices of apples. pota- toes. dried white beans, dry skim- med milk, extracted honey and cattle.

The Agricultural Products Co- -operative Marketing Act. 1939, Is designed to assist farmers In organ- izing and administering marketing pools for the orderly marketing of thllr products. The Minister of Agri-

; 'QlI;ui9 jnay. with the approval of

Governor in Council. enter into

by producei-s' groups to market numerous farm commodities includ- ing cheese, potatoes. barley, forage crop seeds and ranch-bred fox and mink pelts.

Provincial marketing legislation authorizes the setting up of market- ing schemes to apply to specified products in designated areas within the provincial boundaries. These schemes are administered by a local board, usually of growers' and deal- ers' representatives, which is con- trolled by a provincial marketing board of government officials. Local boards in a y exercise regulatory powers over marketing, including the setting of prices and control of sales, or may act as price negotiat- ing committees in the case of pro- ducts for processing. Boards in some instances appoint a single selling agency through which products under control must be marketed.

It is within the compass of these enactments that price support nego- tiations must be conducted. Provid- ed this is done, it does not appear that the personnel of the local board is of any concern to the federal authorities. Their duty is to weigh each case on its merits and give what assistance they can in view of Parliament's evident desire to meet farm marketing emergencies as they

arise. The offer received under the Marketing Act this year is far short of the maximum initial guarantee which could be given, and warrants further efforts in pressing for a more satisfactory s e t t I e m e n t. Should these efforts fail, then ap- peal might well be made under the Prices Support Act, which though designed as a transitional measure for the immediate postwar years, appears still to be in effect

Agriculture Minister Gardiner says "Canada needs 25 million pounds of butter at all times to keep the pipeline filled and another 30 million to prevent sudden con- sumer-price increase". Following the same line of reasoning, and add- ing various easily-explained needs. it could be argued that tlhere can be no such thing as a surplus. Mr. Gardiner is going to find it difficult, however, to convince the Dairy Council and dairy farmers that his argument is well based.

RIL A ERROR

onopoly In Newsprint

Sudbury

The lllincral and forest wealth of Canada are among the great- est assets owned by the people. Their controlled exploitation is de- sirable. it is the means by which rock and trees are turned into cash values to preserve the solvency of the nation.

In an expression of altruistic sentiment. natural resources are often described as the heritage of the people--iheir's to enjoy. pre- serve and develop in the best inter- ests of all the people. When such altruism is exposed to the cold light of practical business. A little of its lustre is lost. But practical business cannot safely condone "price fixing" or gouging of its customers.

Here is Northern Ontario we are close to the operations of the for- eslindustries. There is I natural interest in the results of the policies of the firms who are entrusted with the exploitation of Crown timber limits.

It is an undeniable principle that companies engaged in the harvest- ing of this wealth should have the right to expect a reasonable pro- fit on their operations. There is I point at which questions can, and should be asked, if it appears that profits are becoming unreasonable.

This is the position in which the newsprint industry finds itself to- day. One newsprint company has announced a price increase of 35 a ton for its product. On the basis of past experience it can be ex- pected that other newsprint com- panies will follow suit.

it must be clearly understood that the newsprint industry enjoys a peculiar form of raw material protection that is virtually a gov- ernment ensiired "corner on the market-" it is not subject to some of the ordinary problems that are associated with the changing con- ditions of supply and demand in its basic requirement--wood. The newsprint industry is dealing in restricted Crnivn assets which are nnt open in ordinary compcliticiii. It Is in one sense a protected in. dustry.

It is not a run of mill moiioplv established by right at pnfeni 9', stock control manipiilation. if the people of this coiintry arc to share Equltlibiy In the harvesting of their own resources, newsprint Industry profit motives must be based on other standards than those of charging what the I.-mic will bear.

extremely dubious. it has all ihr sppearancc of greed, pure and simple.

Vast expansion programs have been financed by the newsprint industry over the past few years out of its earnings. And this after paying record dividends to stock- holders. No industry would be able to do this if it was in financial difficulties.

in which the Federal Government might examine its anti-combines powers.

Where the newsprint companies have governments set aside Crown timber limits as their exclusive preserves. the industry's respon- sibilities to the people of this country cannot be evaded. The pewsprlnt industry is in partner- ship with all Canadians.

Communist at times are apt to deny the existence of the iron cur- tain and to suggest that it is the invention of western propaganda. But it does exist physically. All down the frontier between the Com- munist countries of eastern Europe and their western neighbors, there runs on the Cummunlst side a belt of barbed wire, of minefields, of machine-gun posts, for all the world like a "nomsn's land" between hostile armies confronting each other.

It is the outward and visible sign of the isolation between the "lwt camps" on which the Communist: policy has insisted.

IT'S. DIE'l'.. Noll. EXERCISE. THAT HELPS YOU REDUCE

Exercise is good for you. but will it help you reduce? Problbli not much.

For one thlnl. llhnical exer- cise: are diffclult for an extreme- ly overweight person. For another. exercise is not an efficient way of spending more enemy W "19 UP more of those calories.

More Calories. More Weight

As I have explained. you be- come overweight when you con- sistently take in more calories than you convert to energy. You can't burn up these calories fast enough Just by exercising.

Walking won't help you reduce much either.

If you are an average person, you will have to walk 36 miles to lose a single pound of fatty tis- sue. By the time you are through with that little jaunt, I'm afrlad you'll be hungry enough to eat I meal which will put that pound back and maybe add more.

To repeat an oft-quoted joke: the best exercise you (attics can get is pushing yourselves away from the table when that second helping is offered.

Now don't misunderstand. Ex- ercise is good for most of you. You should be active. Don't just sit around.

But to get of that excess weight, you've got to take in fewer calor- ies than you use up in energy. The most efcfctive way to accom- plish this is to eat less.

All meats used in dieting, re- member, should be lean. And use as little fat as possible in prepar- ing any food. You can use salt in your cooking, but don't add any at the table.

Lobster: Again

(St. John Telegraph Journal). Some recent comment on the findings of federal fisheries men at Surnmerside, P E. I., has re- attentlon being dir ected to a similar study being made off the British coast of Pembroke shire Writing in Country Life Mr. John L. Jones quotes fishermen there as saying that Lobsters ap pear to have a definite restricted area of activity. covering about two miles of travel.

This agrees in general with re sults noted so far in experiments made with marked and tagged lobsters in Egmont Bay, P. E. I. There 6,1100 lobsters were marked by having their tails punched whilo a thousand more were tagged be- fore being liberated. This year 800 of the market lobsters and 329 bear ing tags were recovered from traps within I few miles from the point of liberation.

There is a marked difference In the form of the British lobster trap compsrcdwith those used in Can ldl. The British trap in circular in form with one opening in the top. The Canadian trap is usually about twice its height in length with openings in each end of the wooden-slatted structure resembl ing a -Quon':':t armv hut. British lobster pots are now made of wire. cane and tuned twine.

The biggest specimen caught in twcii y ya ye 0' ii " ;.' off Pem

brookshlre was seven and onehalf I

pounds. Big lobsters are unanlesble in Britain because they are tough as leather. The preferred size is from nine and one-half to eleven inches in length. Tan-ed string tied around the top end of the claw is used to mark them for exper- imental study of their movements.
