support Programs

Not infrequently we hear smitt- rithy expressed for the down-trod- den tax payer who among many other things is asked to foot the bill for price support program de- signed to ease agriculture over a difficult period. Since 1946 each person in Canada has contributed a botal of .75 cents to finance sup- port prices or an average of 12 1-! cents per year, truly an amount of no serious consequence. In all fair- ness it should be ex-plsim-d that these figures do not cover the cost of line program initiated for cattle niid hogs as a i'r-suit of foot and mmihh disease. This rrmgram could properly be termed disaster relief raiiher tfhan inipvport.

Both Canada and the United states have programs to stabilize wheat Marketimz. nrozriims Wluch are. however, distinctly different. While il'.hi- United states Govern- ment holds 454 million bushels in it value of 1.178 million. the Can-idian Government owns no wheat. Can- ada's surplus is held by the farm- ers or by their grain trading or- izanizatlons. In addition in wheat. tare U 5. Government also owns .102 million lbs. of butter. 269 mil- lion lbs. of cheese. and 4-36 million lbs. of dried milk.

Maritime Federation

last Saturday, the Maritime ro- preeenutlves of the three Maritime Federations and a number of other organizations met for their annual cot-together before proceeding to the Eastern Conference on January 13, at Toronto. At this Conference the Me eiistem provinces came to an agreerrient on matters to he brought to the attention of the CFA. in its annual meetilig this coming week. p

Farm Forum

since January 1, our Farm Forums have run into some diffi- culties from a weather stand-point on Monday nights. Forums are very sensitive to inclement weather and the effect of one bad night may continue for sometime. Last Mon- day night our tzroups discussed the problem of railway crossings, nav- ing particular attention to high- way fatalities and means of pro- tecting the travelling public at these points. with the marked ill- crease of motor traffic. more and more ncopie are daily exposed to the dangers always present. Ouriouslv most people are trapped on crossings near their homes. Ap- parently familiarity breeds con- ternpt,

Organizations

The success of organizations do- pcnds upon convincing a sufficient- ly large number nf people tiiat. the organization is necessary and can perform services of value to the member.

Labour and business groups have had marked success in this field as the strong financial support. wlilcli they receive demonstrates. The welding together of farmers in s tightly-knit group presents some peculiar problems. even though the members freely admit the ne- cessity of organization. Compared with the urban worker, the farmer lives in wide areas. Contacts in- volve much travelling and the diversity of the farm operation presents problems in interesting the tiller nr the soil in all the varlous phases which go to maki- up the inmstry.

ltesiiita from farm oi-gsnizatinns are rarely as dramatic as were in- creases obtained througfii strikes or arbitration. the farmer mav wait even for years to see the results of his efforts in improving farm iii: and returns.

Victoria Dropped ills Port or can

VIOTORIA (OP)-Victoria's days as l port of call for passenrzr-': liners in the Antipodes - Pacific northwest trade appear to have ended.

The RAMS Oronssy of the Orient line on her initial trip from Auck- land. N. Z.. called only at Hono- lulu. San Francisco and Van- couver.

The luxurious 28.000-ton liner will make three tnps to test cargo and passenger business. If enough trade develops. the Oronsay will be join- ed on the run by the Orient line's newest ship. RMS Orsovn.

Pleas of Victoria Chamber of Commerce officials to have Vic- toria included in call ports have been rejected. Ship-owners said that incoming and outgoing cargoes from this port do not justify the cost. or risk, of docking ginnt liners hEl'r.

The new liner is 703 foot nyrr- all. in feet longer than the old rnoiorsiiip Aorarigi. on her last trip the Aorrmgi, aided by irwn tugs look 40 minutes to dock in Vic- torla.

At that time her master. Capt. William Whitefield. remarked:

"Tilers is a definite i-it every time

you bring in big ship in here."

Says Britain Will Soon Adopt New Belgian Rifle

Wciiiaii Accused at Diamond smuggling

NEW YORK. (OP) - The New York Times says today in ; Lon. don dispatch that Britain will soon adopt. a new Belgian-designed self. loading rifle as the standard in. fantry weapon for British forces.

Prime Minister Churchill told the House of Commons in London Tuesday that the Belgian weapon. now under consideration as stand- ard equipment for North Atlantic Treaty powers, is "equal in per- formance to the latest British pat- tem and quicker and easier to make and maintain."

MONTREAL, (CP)-A 25-year- old woman Wednesday was ac- cused of having I part in an al- leged diamond-smuggling by air organization at which RCMP struck last week.

73!! Timu displwh "ya indi- Mrs. Melka Honlgwax was ar- catiom are that the decision raigned in criminal court on s. "might have political repercus- charge of aiding in the transport

sions in the narrowly divided Par- liament." Woodrow Wyatt, finan- cial secretary to the war office in the former Labor government, ac- cused Churchill of "weakness" in ”not standing up to the Ameri- cans."

"in friendly rivalry with the Bel- galns Fabrique Nationals d'Annes of Liege. which was designing a similiar rifle. the British tried to persuade both the United States and Canada to accept the British Lee-Enfield rifle as the Atlantic Alliance standard." the dispatch recalls.

In 1051. the U. 8.. backed by Canada. declined in do this. for reasom of heavy retooling prob-

of diamonds worth 5175.000 seized by RCMP.

Her husbsnd. Jack Honlgwax of Montreal. faces 1 similar charge. Jacob Kusmierskl of Paris is charged with possession of the Fmugilled Roms. Moses Mandel of Brooklyn, N. Y.. is accused with assisting in transport of the dia- mi-mds.

Hearing of the four was post- poned Wednesdny by Judge Ger- ald Almond until Jan. 29 at till request of the prosecution.
