The issue is not personalities; not the welness and frost ai the las!tIwo years; not even complaints of soute growers about prices received. The issue is whelher i! makes sense, wilh a 175 million pound crop coming, ta abandon a systemt that has worked for 20 years in favor of one that may or may not work., Under the present Association your difficulties can and wilI he looked alter. Under the untried Plan anything can happen., Il might work and then again it might prove ta be a colossal failure. It is up ta you ta weigh the consequences ai carryinq on or risking ruin. Before You Vote- Think Over These Four Important Points: What WillFappen If the F.P.M.A. Our lawyers say it is illegal in view of the recent Supreme Court ruling that any such plan is limited to crops marketed locally in the province and intended for sale i the province. They say this rules out tobacco for obvious reasons. Support- ers of the Plan dlaim it is legal. It is a lawyers' argument. But what would happen if our lawyers are right? If the Plan wins in the vote, the present Association wil cease to exist. Then, if the plan is declared illegal there will be no market- ing organization whatsoever. This is a distinct possibility. Wbat would happen to the 175 (perhaps it may even be -180 or even 190) million pound crop? This very situation existed once before in the tobacco businessin these parts and any old-time grower wiIl tell you that it brought chaos to the industry. -Think If Over Before You Voie - Whai Will Happen to Growing Rights Under the Plan? Supporters of the Plan claim they will be undisturbed. We think they will cease to exist. It is up to you to decide. But remember that "Growing Rights" are flot mentioned anywhere in the Plan or the Marketing Act. Does this mean anything? We think it does. We feel sure that it can mean only one thing, namely that those who drew up the Plan were not sure. If they were, why didn't they get the F.P.M.A. to include "Rights" among the powers given to local boards in the Act? - Think If Over Before You Vote - What WiIl Happen to SAcreage What WilI Happen to Relations Between Stand Up for Growers and Buyers? YOUR RIGHTS' Published by the Special Commnittee of the Flue-Cured Tobacco Marketing Association of Ontario M Supporters of the Plan say there will be Acreage Control un der the Plan. We think the opposite. We admit there can be "production control" but that is a very diffe rent thing. Once again, we think there is a reason why Acreage Control is not mentioned anywhere in the Plan or the Act. The F.P.M.A. deliberately lef t this out. Obviously because they weren't sure. They can afford to take a chance. Can you? - Think If Over Before You' Voie - The Plan makes it clear that buyers wiIl have no part or say in the tobacco business until the trne toines to set pnîces. This means that they will have accepted no responsibility whatsoever for the acreage grown. They will enter the mnarket with no obligation to the growers except to bargain as best they can for whatever part - and only that part - of the crop which they ivish to buy. For 18 years buyers have voluntarily taken up the surplus. What wiIl happen this year? The supporters of the Plan give you the answer. They are planning for a surplus and frantically trying to get financing to take care of it. We do not say they will neyer get it. But will they get it in time? And if they get it, do you know anyone among the F.P.M.A. supporters who has the experience and "know-how" to process, warehouse and market a tobacco surplus of several million pounds? - Think If Over Before You Vote M 100K 1 a 1 Growers iDAý iFrvwlqpý q Challenged in the Courts?
