OTTAWA. (CP) -- The National l-lirniers Union of England has asked agricultural organizations in tftinada to send representatives to a London conference to discuss marketing of meat. expected soon n come off the ration in England.

Big Price Gsp

Reason for the CFA puzzlemenl. 's the so to fill gap between Can- adian and Danish prices for bacon. a big Canadian export to Britainl during the war.

Price of Canadian bacon ranges front 530 to 335 a ltundredweight. The major part of the British sup- ply routes from Denmark where 'he price is n24 ll liuntlrcdweight. (TIT.-X officials don't think that a conference will bridge the gap.

Export. of Canadian bacon to Britain reached a peak of 600,000.- J00 pounds during the Second Worltl War. l.-Lvport fell to 57,000,- lm pounds by 1050 and there has ween no bacon export contract -aince.

Of the 57,000,000 pounds of bacon -xported in 1950, 30,000,000 was intlcr a U.K.-Canadian govern- ment contract calling for 60,000.- ltitl pounds at 532.50 a hundred- veight. The remaining 27.000000 munris was surplus from 1949.

The Canadian government ,paid i3.5tl a luindrodweight subsidy on ;he .1950 bacon and price paid by be British government was 529. '-Ivcn with the subsidy. half of the 1950 contract was not filled bo- cruise high haenn prices in Can- nda absorbed production here.

On Strike; More l To Quit today

By JOHN RODERICK

PARIS. (AP) - France pressed policemen, soldiers and convicts into service Wednesday to deliver letters. drive buses and collect rubbish. A million workers were on strike.

Two million more are expected to swell the week-old protest against economy decrees of prem- ier Joseph Laniel in a 24-hour walkout today.

The workers are up in arms over Laniel's progr m to pare the government payrols of surplus civil servants and affect. more economics by juggling with the age of retirement - a sensitive sub- ject in security-conacious France.

Publication Monday of the first 19 of his economy decrees gave the impetus to a new wave of wnlkouts in the wake of some which had been called in anticipa- tion of his decision.

The CFA spokesman said it is difficult to imagine what the NFU has in mind because it seemed unlikely that the wide price dif- .ferential could be bridged and a government lsubsidy was unlikely.
