He agreed that any commitment madc in thc naine of Canada ahould be honorcd. But he questioncd where policiez o! tItis nature would lead. FAIM CONFUSION Baslng his arguments on the 30-point national programme he announced four years mgo which set forth a square deai for farmer. he proved beyond question that the powers now assumed by the present government over farm production led to a state of uncertalnty and confusion which resulted in a progressive, decime of saicabie farm products ail along Utcelime. The points he made wene not challenged by Prime Minister King who follow- cd himi In the debate. IVIDE CONTROLS Speaking about boardsa nd controls that hampered farmn production at a time when world requirements.werc at an ail- time peak, Mr. Bracken sald: "For year the government through Its numerous boards has had complete control over prices of fanm. pnoducts and thc cost o! things that farmens have to buy. [t bas coritrolicd thc slaughtering of livestock, the import and export of seeds, feeds, fertilizers, the export o! livestoclc." INCOME FALLING "It has ratiomed foodstuffs; entered into long-tenm food agreements at anbitrary prices; paid direct and indiect subsidies to fax-mers. Yet thc over-all net farm income of Canada has been declining ince 1944 in spite o! Uic highest domestic amd !oreign demand for farm products In oui' history. The British govern- mient lias been led to over-optimism of what we can produce and supply. We are falling behimd in delivcry because prices to Britain in many limes are below cost of production." SHARP DECLINE "Speaklng a year ago I warned this wouid resuit from Uthe policies laid down. We have failed by 100 million pounds in bacon commityments. Egg production lias falien to 23 million dozen short o! Uic British agreement. Butter production has been failimg for three years. This past year the decline was thc great- est in 20 years. We are In fact importimg from New Zealand and seizimg shipments on Uic high seas." DEMORALIZATION "Cheese production has falleni 25 percent, the gneatcst decline in one year in the past 25. Aside from grain the whole dairy and livestock industry is in a state of demoralization due to failure of Uic governnicnt to foresce the e!fects o! its control and price policles on agricultural production. In this day-to-day programme of political expediemcy, fanmer. have been treated to increaslng and unnecessary Irritations." This is the position into which controis are plunging Uic Camiàdian farmen. OFFICIAL FIGURES In case any reader might conclude that Mr. Brackeni spoke for politicai effect nather than very stromg conviction It can be told de 'finitely that lie. spoke before the release of officiai gov- ernment documents in the case.
