DAIRYMEN ARE NOW ASKING LOWER PRICES FOR BUTTER The leaders-of Canada's dairy in- dustry have changed their tune from that which we have heard for some years past, The Dairy Council of Canada heard 'its leaders make a plea to the government to lower butter prices so that it could compete more effectively with margarine. For years the dairy industry car- ried on a battle to have the former ban' on margarine continued, Fail- ing in that, they asked: for, and in "some provinces, secured restrictions on margarine, particularly with res- pect to its color. At the same time they demanded and secured a floor price on butter, by which the govern: ment at Ottawa purchases all supplies of butter at 68 cents a pound. This kept up the returns 'to the producer, to the consumer. As a result of this floor price arrangement, the govern- ment now has on its hands 116 million pounds of butter for which it has no Some quantities have been gold to European countries, at prices niuch lower than the floor price, in- volving the government in heavy los- es, ' There is merit in the argument that the prices paid by other countries. / ving further than the: theme of 'Tast | eek's editorial which supported the Iden of a government floor price for butter, jit would seem' most just that those 'Who. provide the funds to pay the floor price should reap the benefit of a lower retail rate. yg, 5, 2 But the dairy farmers are going a little too far in asking. the govern- ment, as a matter of fixed policy, to cents a pound to the producer, re-sell it at a price ocmetitife withimargar= ine and absorb the loss.

If we expect to be able to give Americans. stiff competition, we have to find some means to produce goods at similar prices. We certainly can't do it, if the US labour unions force their Can- adian affiliates to insist on equally high wages to produce fewer products.
