TUESDAY, JANUARY BRITISH BRACED FOR DRASTICECONOMIC SACRIFICES Considerisiiablishmeni: OF F,eed.Grain Bank Claims New Diet Will Make Possible Raising Deer In Commercial Way 1.... VANCOUVER. Jan. 28-(CP)- Deerburgers next? Two University of British Co- lumbia. scientists reported today they have discovered a diet that could put deer on the same level as sheep as meat producers. Zoologlst Dr. Ian McTaggart Cowan and animal nutritionist Dr. Alex Wood have found that the wild quadrupeda can be pasturerl in relatively useless cider and wil- low bottom lands. The diet is called U.B.C. 14. It consists of normal agricultural materials such as alfalfa hay and a mash of alfalfa meal, corn bran and corn gluton. In five months of study the animals at the University of Bri- tish Columbia have grown from normal seven to eight pounds at birth to 80 pounds, 30 or 40 pounds more than in the wild state. The experimenters are using walfs from several British Colum- bia forest fires. The tests will continue for five years under iponsorship of the National Re- iearch Council of Canada. Meat producers here have ex- pressed interest in the study. One packed said he thought "it is a good idea to find new sources of meat." He thought venison could be produced cheaper than other meats and could possibly substi- tute for the conventional beef, lamb and pork on Canadian din- ner tables. John Helders, catering manager of Vancouver's largest hotel, said he is ready to place an order for hotel could use from 50 CBTCBSSCS ll year. One drive-in manager envision- ed deerburgers -- or better still. buckburgers at half-a-buck apiece.

The controversial issue likely will be brought up before the government when the 400,000- rnember Canadian Federation of Agriculture makes its annual sub- mission and recommendations to the cabinet in two or three weeks' time. The federation, national spokes- man for organized farmers. like- ly will ask the government: 1. To look into the possibil- ity of arranging to meet the Eastern Provinces' request for a reserve bank or some other way of providing a continuous supply of Western grains for the livestock industry. 2. To review the sphere of federal responsibility in see- ing that there is sufficient feed grains available in Can- ads. at all tmes. Other recommendations to be made likely will range from the farmers' endorsement of a con- tinuation of the mulil-lateral in- ternational wheat agreement to higher support prices on dairy and livestock products. The action on feed-grain follows a proposal by livestock producers at the federation's annual meeting in Montreal last. week that the government finance development of a feed-grain bank in Eastern (Continued on page is col. 3) Highway Landmark In N.

Parliame-iii Will Hear Details Today (By Alan Harvey) LONDON, Jan. 28-(CF)-Brb taln tells the world tomorrow what new plans she has for the economic emergency, and the an- nouncement is expected to be spectacular. Anything less than that will come as an anti-climax to a coun- try which has been carefully groomed for brutal sacrifices. The British people. case-hardened to crisis and adversity, have been warned that this time things are really serious. The government's proposals for meeting the emergency-so urgent that dollar reserves now are low- er than those of Canada-will be outlined at the reopening of Par- liament by Richard Butler. Chan- cellor of the Exchequer. They will probably provoke the first full-blown controversy he- twcen the Conservative Govern- ment and the Socialist opposition since last October's general elec- tion brought Winston Churchill hark as prime minister. Labor is primed to resist any drastic eco- nomies in the social services. ul- tliough it probably will not go as far as former Premier Attlee recently did in belittling the urgency of the crisis. Advance guessing as to Butler's intentions has been remarkably meagre. The broad lines of his statement-import cuts, tighter credit control, reduction in cap- ital investment, higher priorities for export industries, retrench- ment in public expenditure-are fairly clear. But nobody ventures to say whether the economy pro- gram may include the food sub- sidics, which Labor regards as politically untouchable. Britain is up against it.

Canada-U. S. Trade Atomic Information WASHINGTON. Jan. 28 - (AP) -Chairman Gordon Dean of the Atomic Energy Commission dis- closed tonight that an exchange of atomic secrets "beneficial to the United states" has been earri- ed out with Canada. He did not say what informa- tion was involved. Speculation immediately arose that the exchange might involve information on Canada's famed "heavy water" reactor - describ- ed as the most advanced design in that field of atomic research --for use on this country's H- vbomb project. Dean said an "interchange" ol information with Canada has been made in the last few weeks-the first with any country since the US.

Avereil I-Iarrimsn. The funds, from the new 51,328.- 903.9'76 Mutual Security Act. will be used almost. entirely for "raw materials and components" pur- chased up to next July 1, Britain had asked for 3600.000,- 000, pleading that because of her current financial plight, the Brit- ish defence program might have to be curtailed unless U. S. aid were forthcoming. Harriman told the Senate For- eign Relatlons Committee that without the grant "it would be necessary for the United Kingdom to reduce its defence program by more than twice as much." "In light of the fact that the British now are producing more military equipment than all other European N.A.T.0. countries combined. it is considered partic- ularly important that such e. re- duction in its defence program should not. have to be made," Har- riman said. He said that as part of the ar- rangement for the grant, Britain agreed to supply an equivalent amount in sterling currency to the maintenance of her defence pro- duction program.
