Nov. l8 — (C?) __ External Affairs Minister Pearson interpreted the international pict- ure on n broad front today and reported it is "brighter" than it was a year ago. Under four hours of grilling ba- fore the Commons committee on External Affairs, he made these among many other points: 1. There is no sign of Russian yielding on ma1or issues but. "the fact she now knows we are united in resistance to unjust claims is a. big factor in holding them back." 2. Yugoslaviais defiance has "bad an effect" on the iron curtain peo- ples anrl may explain such “defen- sive" measures as appointment of a Russian as Poland's defence minister. 3.

Subscriptions Delivered $6.00 Considehiiuilool In lighi of New U.K. Food Coniracl‘ By HAROLD MORRISON OTTAWA, Nov. l8 — (CF) - The Canadian Federation of Afri- culture today said. it. will leek Government price-support for eggs and other oommodltiu if Anglo-Canadian food contracts IIB reduced in 1950. A Federation spokesman said farmers and poultry producers are particularly concemed over the possibility that Britain will not renew the $21,000,000 egg contract and that the bacon contract will be cut. to 25 per ccnt of the 19411 value. , Meanwhile, it was learnpd Can- adian egg dealers have appealed directly to the Government to ‘m- stitute measures to keep up thu price of eggs in view of a state- ment by Sir Stafford Cripps yes- terdlay. The Britldh Chancellor of ‘the Exchequer told a London. press conference that Britain is consid- ering switching over to European soprces of supply for some of the foodstuffs she formerly purchased from Canada. He specifically men- tioned eggs. A Government spokesman laid there shouild be no worry about a possible fall in egg price: until at least the carly part of next year. The Government still was buy- ing eggs-and will continue to do so until into December — to fill the 1949 United Kingdom con- tract. 1'51" ; The Agricultural Federation. which represents bacon as well as egg producers, said bacon produc- ers were particularly distressed at the possible fall in bacon prices. The producers were paying high prices for fced and. there-flora would feel the blow if Canada could not continue to obtain a suitable price for Canadian bacon. Ii; was indicated in Government quarters that the contract next: year will be about 40,000,000 pounds or about one-quarter of the 1949 contract. Howcvcr, ihcre still was no in- dication od the price. Groping for solutions to the possibility that Canada may have to accept smaller food contract! from the U.K., not only in 1050 but also in the ncxt few succeed- inff years, the Government ap- pears to be hopeful that the Unit- ed Nations Food and Agricultural Organization will achicve some success with arl international food- subsidles plan.
