storage Shortage Looms For Surplus Pork In Canada ' Pearson Sounds Firm Note Former Island" Collective Resistance

Extension Oi Price-Suppori Program Seen

(By The Canadian Press)

A critical shortage of storage ;.,-are is developing for Canada's surplus pork. Ottawa officials dis- closed Fl'ldBY-

with the United states embargo

. on Canadian livestock and meats

clamped tight; and with provin- cial restrictions adding to market- ing disruptions, pork cuts are slowly piling up in storage plants.

To meet this side of the econ- omlc problem resulting from the outbreak of foot-and-mouth dis- ease in South Saskatchewan, the Canadian Government likely will soon announce an extension of its pric-support program on pork. to include such things as canned products.

Canned meats are not included in the U. 5. embargo. Canada. however, is only a small producer of this particular product. To encourage increased production, the Government likely willasoon offer to buy this product at a certain price if manufacturers cannot sell it readily.

Most canned pork products do not require cold-storage space.

Can Extend Program

The Government's original pork support program covered only the rue basic cuts-hams. shoulders, hulls, bacons and backs. An or- der-in-councii was passed Thurs- day giving the Government auth- nrlty to extend the program as it saw fit.

The program is based on a lll'li'P. of :28 a hundredweight. grade 1-1 hogs dressed at Mont- real and Toronto. The price fluct- usics at other Canadian markets. The Government guarantees to buy all unsold pork at plants on me basis of that price at the end of next September.

Meanwhile. livestock markets co d unsteady. The Federal Agriculture Department's weekly review reported unsettled condit- ions with wide price variations.

Prices, which showed a general decline a week ago. appeared to be strengthening with gains of 82 to :5 a hundredweight recorded at some markets. Montreal was s3-as lower. At Toronto, the pro- vincial review showed a 33-to-81

OTTAWA. March 'l-(CF)-The Navy said today it is building up its base at st. John's. Nfld., one of the key North Atlantic harbors in the last war. -

Peadquarters announced the award of a 3513.450 contrast in the Diamond construction co. of Fredericton for construction of a wharf "for the seaward defence base" at st. John's.

A number of buildings will be' erected there. too.

A new naval branch concerned with "seaward defences" was cre- ated a year or so ago. Its main purpose is to build up the defen- ces of key harbors.

The new st. John's wharf will be built across the harbor from the city itself. Construction is to start as soon as weather and sea

conditions permit, a , kesman said.

YORK. March '1 -- (CP) -

Hon. L.B. Pearson. Canada's Ex- ternal Affairs Minlster. said to- night that the western Powers should tell Red China's rulers "they must expect Communist aggression to be met by collective resistance."

But, he added. Peiping should also be told the western powers do not intend to try to overthrow by force the Communist regime in China itself.

At a time when western capitals fear that China may launch or support aggressions in Southeast Asia. Mr. Pearson pleaded for a common 11.8.-Commo wulth pol- icy - he said there is "real dan- ger" of a rift -- and crystallized Canada's position in these para- graphs:

" We should let the Peiping government know that they must expect Communist aggression to be met, by collective resistance: that no government in Peiping commit- ting such sggresslon can hope to be accepted into the community of nations: that. on the other hand. we ourselves did not intervene in Korea or. indeed. in Formosa. in order to overthrow by force the government in Pciping.

"I think also that we should make it clear that while Formosa cannot be allowed to fall into Chi- nese Communist hands while ag- gressive war is going on in Korea. we do not intend to use our own forces to restore to China. the reg- img which is now in Formosa fchiang Kai-Shek's Nationalists) after being driven off the main-

lsnd." His speech was prepared for the Canadian Society of New York. It

was the strongest statement yet by the Canadian Government in the face of prospects that Red China may touch off new aggres- sions in the spring.

It was an appeal to the U S. to avoid the "great tragedy" of a rift. with Britain over Far Eastern pol- icies and it was also an indication that Canada herself is ready to back collective action against new aggressions as she has in Korea.

Mr. Pearson contrasted the "basic unity of purpose" among the west- ern powers in defence of western Europe with "the real danger oi divergence of policy among the free states" in Asia.

He continued:

iiI should acknowledge at once the tremendous burden which the United States is hearing in Korea . . . There is no difference in view- point between ihe governments with forces in Korea as to the desirab- ility of bringing the war to an end - as soon as possible - but on honorable terms which do not be- tray the purpose that we had in intervening in the first place. That purpose was-and remains-to de- feat aggresslon, nothing more.

Once again the Canadian Mari- time Commission has turned "thumbs down" to the request of Northunrberlsnd Ferries Ltd. for a guarantee to build a new vessel for the wood Islands-Caribou ser- vice. and the service this year will be on the old basis which has proven inadequate to handle the traffic during the busy tourist season. Word to this effect was brought back from Ottawa yester- day by Capt. O. P. Hunter. chief spokeanan for the delegatlon which interviewed the Commission earlier this week. other members of the delegstionwere Messrs. L. R. Allen. Arthur H. Peaks and P. Lawrence.

The commission's attitude was unchanged from its statement con- tained in a letter acknowledging receipt of an additional brief on the subject of a new boat. dated Nov. 13. At that time it said that approval of the application could not be given at the present time. "You will therefore appreciate.” the letter added. "that a contract for the, forthcoming season's op- erations can only be negotiated in the light of the equipment now available."

No opportunity for further dis- cusaion of this question was sf- forded the delegation this week They also received a negative reply to theproposal for obtaining asce- ond-hand boat in the United states. several commodious ferries are available. but under leg- islation put through by order- in-council at Ottawa two years ago. the commission cannot authorize the accept- ance of American boats more than five years of age.

Dairymen Will Discuss Embargo

OTTAWA. Mlrch 7 -(OP) --

The National Dairy Council said

today that Canadian dairymen are deeply concerned over the United States embargo on Canadian live- stock and meats and the problems involved will be studied at the council's annual meeting March 17.

About 300 dairymen fran all provinces are expected to "attend the three-day conference at Mont- ebeilo. Que. Federal, provincial and international dairy experts will lend panel discussion.

The Council said the American embargo, resulting from the out- break of foot-and-mouth disease in South Saskatchewan. blocks ex- ports of Canadian pure-bred cat- tle snd milk-producing cows.

This will result in greater milk production in Canada this year than previously anticipated and possibly increased marketing prob- lems.

Production of butter, cheese and milk products are all expected to .climb.

-. other subjects up for discussion

will be the question of protecting the Canadian market. possibly through import controls against dairy products from low-cost pro- ducing countrirs and the impact of vegetable-oil imports for mar- garine produclion on the Canadian dairy industry.

March 1 --(special) -The Federal Department of Justice will support the Prince Edward Island Potato Marketing Board in its appeal from the re- cent ruling of the Supreme Court of Prime Edwaarli Island declar- ing that the Agricultural Product: Marketing Board is ultra vires of the powers of parliament.

This was revealed in the House of Commons this afternoon by Justice Minister Carson in reply to a question asked by P. E. Wright, C. C. F., member for Mei- iord. Sask.

Mr. Garson told the House that his department has been following the matter closely and is ready to intervene in favor of the validly oi the Federal legislation.

It is possible that some of the Provinces will either intervene as will the Federal Government or have a watching brief at the ap- peal when it comes b:.fore the Supreme Court of Canada. con- cern has been expressed by mar- keting boards and by groups of specialized agricultural producers throughout the country over- the Prince Edward Island Suprunc Court judgment.

Late today. members from On- tario, Saskatchewan and British Columbia told The Guardian that the P. E. I. judgment tends to weaken or to aettack the principles underlying co-operative marketing. Inasmuch as this was the case. they expressed the hope that it will be reversed on appeal.

WOODSTOCK. N. 13.. March "I- (CP)-Potato prices to growers in Carleton County have reached their highest peak in 30 years. Stimulated by strong demand and a small. steadily decreasing supply. quotations today rose to an average of 87.50 a barrel. Some sales went up to 58.50--bk lieved higher than the market warrants and probably caused by speculative buying. A week ago dealers were offering 36.

The last year when prices ap- proached anywhere near the pre- sent level was 1926, when 55 a barrel was paid. Shortly after the First World War, the price soar- ed to 510.

No accurate estimate could be obtained regarding the amount of supplies still unshipped. -

The date and time were given to the Commons by Finance Min- ister Abbott with the usual reser- vntion that -they may be changed if something unforeseen develops.

Mr. Abbott, dropped no taxation hints. bllt he criticised "pressure groups" for attempting to influence his budget.

He read into the record a letter sent by the Federation of Automo- bile Deslers Association of Canada to its members. The letter urged the members to approach their rep- resentatives in the Commons and enlist their help in I drive to have the Federal Government relax cre- dit restrictions. r

The letter suggested members of parliament would be glad in co-op- because'of the resulting pub-

c y.

Mr. Abbott termed the letter an "insult to the intelligence of the members of the House and reflec- tion unon their integrity." He said the "Finance Minister is particu- larly allergic to both pressure and pressure groups."
