The New Bacon Quota

"Political tiniidity" at Ottawa is blamed for the reduction in Canada's bacon quota t0 Britain bv a third and for the restrictions being lifted on slaughtering of hogs for domestic use. This move, it is said was not in line \\'ll.ll Hon. James Gardiners original plans. It is argued that pres- sure front arcas wlicrc the TCSIYiCtlOIIS 011 slaughtering for ilgntcstic use hit local meat sup- plies, fnrced the Cabinet to capitulate.

According to the Ottawa correspondent of the Financial Post, both Mr. Gardiner and Mr. Ilslcy were prepared to grant some subsidy assistance to hog raisers, ovrt- and above the 75 cents per civt. increase allowed last wcck to “even up" domestic and export prices and to bolster U.K. exports. Bonus payments as high as $3 or $4 per cwt. had been discussed although it: is thought that a somewhat smaller figure would probabli have emerged from Cabinct deliberations.

On consumption side it is argued that per capita ccnsutnption of pork in Canada has fal- len from pre-ivar avcrzigc of about 5o lb. pct annuin to around 32 lh. for i942. At the saute time becf CllllfllillllllOll has steadily increased from a prtz-ivzir fitzut": of 51 lb. ncr capita to a present. figure of about 70 ll). Siticc total meat consumption in Canada is limitctl to ration of 10.1 lb. pcr cupita. it is therefore argued that

Some men in Canada's army and navy and air force overseas have told their relatives at home that they are limited to one air letter a week. This is a liitiitation not imposed by Can- adian postal service but is due entirely to the scarcity of paper in Britain. The limitation has been considerably offset by the post office which has provided the troops overscas with the blank “blue" letter fornt that is used on this sidc of the ocean as well.

Ifsdmprcgnnble, ivliicli is more than llritaiin iras in |o.|u But Churchill believed tlicii, as h: declares now (says The Gazette), that “logic is a poor guide com- pared to custom.” Logic said Britain was bcatcn, but not being beaten was a Britislrctistoiii L000 years old.
