OTTAWA (CP) -- Opposition members in the Commons ex- pressed the view Wednesday that the Eastern Dairy producer | has replaced the Western Grain farmer as Canada’s major agri- cultural problem.

Solutions offered to combat the mounting dairy surplus in- cluded:

Regulation of margarine pro- duction and sales; a search for uses other than butter and cheese for surplus fluid milk; and a yl distribution program to schools.

The plight oe Canada’s dairy industry dominat debate as the Commons launched study of 122,778,731 worth of additional spending items for the fiscal year ending Saturday.

Arnold Peters (CCF—Timis- kaming) suggested the dairy in- dustry now is in the position the grain industry has been and would still be occupying had it not been for the big grain sales to Communist China and last summer’s drought on the Prair-

The minister made his com ments while the report of the House elect standing commitice on agriculture was being com sidered

The committee had urged that
