They bulked large in a brief pre- sented by Hon. Hugh W, Allen of the Alberta Livestock Co-Operative Ltd, which handles 30 per cent of hog marketing in that province. "The livestock producer feels very strongly that he was fully en- titled to * the increase in prices which went into effect at the first of the year," he declared. "He feels that Canadian consumers have {been subsidized out of the pockets [of producers all during the war and {that even yet livestock prices to |producers are comparatively lower than his cost.' | He said he felt that the part played by meat prices in family |budgets had led to criticism of | producers, much' of it unjustified. | It had been stated a .year ago rather shaken in the last few {months by thinly veiled sugges- tions that owing to exchange diffi- culties the British market may be perhaps not entirely closed to us, but its demand so reduced that it jcould not absorb anything like the volume moved overseas a few years ago," he said. "It may be that in some inStanc- es retail meat prices may have be- come unreasonably high but there 'is no evidence that producer of the |livestock at any time received price for his product equal to the price that he could have got for it on the so-called world market and in other countries.'
