The rescued men were brought into port by a Canadian warship two days after they had been sizht- ed in their lifeboat by a Royal Cu- nadian Air Form plane. No one was allowed to see the seamen. some of them so weakened they were still unconscious, It was learned, however, that 24 had crowded into the lifeboat. when it was lowered from the stricken tanker, but winter cold had taken a toll of three lives. The Captain. after surviving 10 dsys in the boat. died just as the res ue craft was coming info this hsr r. No Canadian; were known to be among the crew. the majority of which were Norwegians. Several Britons were also in the crew but no names were released. Agents for the tanker refused to give any details of the sinking be- yond the fact it was due to enemy action.

Why not treat the food indus- try equally well? should Canada do so she would have a vastly different national farm program. She would also have a vastly 1m- proved outlook for maximum food production. Surely a decade ni’ dc- pression has not left us with a fatallstlc fear of food surpluses. Let us have faith that in orr national largeness of views rnd vision. we mall cease to magnify the dollar value of ilitlc subsidies and the relatively moderate outlay it would take to place the returns to our farmers on a pur with the economic returns oi other arc-cm.

Let up have faith that agriculture will soon be accorded the full rc- cognltion which its service to man- kind merits. ‘list up urge and hope that the general price ceiling plan.
