March 0--(Canadian Press Cable)-Major Walter Elliot, Minister of Agriculture, introduced in the House Commons yester- day s bill designed to reorganize British agriculture and bring pric- es of British farm products- to a passed, will enable British produc ers of any agricultural product to organize their marketing. _ it would empower the Govern- ment to protect organized ‘mar- kets by 'regulation of imports through quotas or other means from any flood of overseas im- ports. Regulation of imports under provisions of the Bill would bc effected by orders of the Board of Trade, conditional on_the agricul- tural' marketing scheme being created or in course of prepara- tion. The Bill deals with regulation of WPDIY from all sources but the Board of Trade would not be able to issue an order unless 'it were satisfied "that it is not at variance with any treaty, convention or agreement for the time being in force between His Majesty and any fox-e'gn power or between Hia _Majesty’s Government in the United Kingdom and the Gov- ernment of any other oountry." This, the Canadian Press was as- suredon the highest authority, safeguards agreements concluded at the Ottawa Economic Confer- , ence last year. , C o n clemns Election Costs i ____ (Canadian Press) OTTAWA, March 6.-Condemning the high costs of Dominion elec- tions, Senator W. E. Foster in the Upper House today asked the Ben- ato to appoint a committee to study the matter. He suggested that the sxcemive costs of elections was a de- ierrant to many good men from en- tering public life. Compulsory voting would elimin- ate the “immense” cost of carryink otcrs to the polls, Senator Foster only other method would be for the Government to provide transportp- tion to the polls, conscripting motor ,cars for the purpose.

With the scrlp idea evidently abandoned save in isolated in- stances, and plans developing for issuance of such additional regular currency as may be needed, bank- ing quarters were turning their at- tention to means of resuming nor- mal clearances of cheques between cities, which was regarded as one of the next vital steps in restoring the financing of commerce. The opening of the banks for payment of funds for payrolls and other essentials, proceeded some- what more smoothly in a number of localities than yesterday, par- slow to avail themselves of permis- sion to conduct limited business. _“M-°f`"°“1'“"'“`“”“ “M V°”` ‘Gain In Raw Mater- C0 _ QPERA T10 N WITH ,,.,,,,,,,,, ,,, , ,,,,,,,,,,,_._' ial Prices Indicates lliiwll ovtnillon linlsrult Joint Operation Argued Pro And Con In Parliament.

This would not mean a financial union with the Maritime organization, against which there was a concensus of opinion at the. meeting. The Association went on record as favoring a more aggressive edu- catlonal policy in the interests of the poultrylindustry, through co-opera- tlon of the Provincial Govemment. 967,656 dozen eggs, a. decrease of 36 per cent over the banner year 1931, were handled last year by the Association, according to the direc- tors’ report submitted by retiring president J. R. Munn. The decrease was attributed to (1) delay in send- ing out 1931 bonus cheques, (2) dif- ficulty in getting circle collectors, and <3) low market value which en- couraged greater consumption of eggs by the producers. Average pro- duction per member was 290 dozen. The handling cost per dozen includ- ing all expenses except packages was 2.0 cents. There was much discussion and criticism regarding the manner in which the affairs of the organiza- tion had been conducted. A resolu- tion requestlng the incoming board of directors “to call for tenders for the management" of the Associa- tion was at first passed, then recon- sidered and finally withdrawn. In- ter a resolution of confidence in the present management was adopted. The president, Mr. J. R.
