iiatsJiarleyMarketing Provincial Problem

REGINA, April b—(CP) —Agri- culture Minister Gardiner relter ated today that marketing of oats and barley was a provincial re sponsibility. and said the Federal Government could not "even con- sider" compulsory marketing >f feed grains through the Canadian Wheat Board until tllo Provinces passed enabling legislation.

Parliament had merely enabled the Government to co-operete with Provinces that wished to establish compulsory Wheat-Board marketing of feed grain. he said ln a statement.

Provincial Governments. could have rme to prepare an appeal from the Zl-per-cent increase.

A reply from the Cabinet secre- tary. A.D.P. Heeney, today said thc petition harl been communicated immediately to the Ministers con- cerned and would be submitted to the Cabinet "at the earliest 0b- portunity."

DR. 'I‘ur.nbull, chairman of the Maritime Board oi ‘Wade's Com- mission, said in answer to Mr. Heeney that he had received a Canadian Freight Association tar- iff today esiablishing increased rates April 9.

"We would therefore urge that consideration be given to our pct- ition to Governor-in-Councii before that date." Mr. Turnblill said.
