PAGE EIGHT » THE DAILY. TIMES-GAZETTE _ SATURDAY, JUNE 12, 1948 Drew Flies "To Interest Overseas Industries In Locating In Ontario Montreal, June 12 -- (CP) --Pre- mier Drew of Ontario Friday at- "tributed C.C.F. gains in the recent Ontario election to Communist sup- Tt. i boarding a British Over- seas Airways Corporation plane for 'England, the Ontario Progressive Conservative leader told reporters "most gains by the C.CF. were the :direct result of Communist sup- port." ™ "Whether this support was wel- -~comed or not, these Communist votes went to C.C.F. candidates," said Mr. Drew. "However, I am not suggesting the C.C.F. is supported entirely by Communists." Premier Drew said the purpose of his trip to England was to interest British industries in opening branches in Ontario. Asked what his plans were for obtaining a seat in the legislature after his personal defeat at the polls, Mr, Drew said 30 P.C. mem- ners had offered their seats. "I won't make a decision until I return from this trip in three ' weeks time," he added. Earlier at Toronto he said that «ince the British government stop- ped the export of capital by Brit- ish industries for construction of new plants in the province just over a year ago, negotiations have been carried on through Ontario House in London, The negotiations have been to ob- tain approval of plans which "will permit investment in Canada with- out any impairment of the British dollar position. He hoped to bring these discussions to a "satisfactory conclusion" on his present visit. The plan, as laid before the United Kingdom government some time ago, would provide for loans in Canada on the basis of credits in Britain, For example, a company wishing lo establish a branch in Canada would borrow its capital from a Canadian insurance or banking firm, 'It could either pay this loan off from profits made in Canada or could, at such time as Britain's iollar position improved, pay the loan by transferring capital from England. The Premier has stated previously 'hat more than 100 British com- panies have applied for permission «© establish plants in Ontario. The jovernment ha® encouraged these moves and recommended decen- ralization of these new industries through the province. - Police Hunt Man Who Shot Wife And Fled Home Toronto, * June 12 (CP) --Police conducted a house-to-house search Friday for Harold Fieghen, 45, who they say shot his wife through the chest, Hospital officials described = his wife's condition as "good." A - locker spaniel, earlier reported to have been shot by Fieghen as he fled from his North Toronto home Friday, was found by police whimp- ering in a corner, but unhurt. Police said Fieghen was recently discharged from a mental hospital. A neighbor, who described him as a guiet man, said Fieghen had been pbsessed lately with the idea that Yeverything was going to the dogs." Police said they found a 22 talibre rifle;in the house, They said he fired a shot into the chest of his wife as preparations were being made for their daugh- 'er's wedding. Members of the family said he had telephoned home twice since fhe shooting. Hospital authorities said the 'rifle lug was deflected through Mrs. eghen's right arm, causing only a flesh wound. Friends said Mrs. Fieghen held a responsible position until three rears ago. Beef Prices On Upswing In Markets By W. R. WHEATLEY Canadian Press Staff Writer Montreal, June 12 -- (CP) -- In- creases in retail prices of first grade beef to consumers in the Montreal area have lagged far be- hind increases in live cattle prices, a Canadian Press survey showed to- day. The greatest upswing in both came during the last two weeks because of seasonal shortages of livestock and reports that .farmers have been holding back cattle ex- pecting the government will remove the ban on cattle shipments to the United States. Between May 29° and today live cattle prices on the 'Montreal live- 4+stock markets jumped from $18 a hundredweight to $23 for best qual- ity steersyan increase of nearly 44 per cent, In the comparable period retail prices in butcher and chain stores rose from 53 cents a pound to 66 cents for best, boneless beef. These figures do not take into account the wholesale price of car- cass beef which is generally about double that of the live cattle price. A peculiarity of the comparative prices showed that during May live cattle prices rose 125 per cent, while retail best-beef prices de- |creased more than five per cent. Livestock sources reported that |retailers have met - considerable |sales resistance to higher prices. The retailers have preferred to hold the price line and take a squeeze until wholesale prices forced them to act. Retailers said further increases can be expected, particularly if and when the ban on U.S. shipments is | lifted. In the last week of March live | cattle, best quality, brought $16 a hundredweight on the Montreal markets. There followed two in- creases of $1 each until a $5 jump within the last two weeks. Following table shows compara- tive prices for Ilve cattle and re- tail prices, both for best quality with percentages of increases over the starting date bracketed: Live cattle price; Retail beef price -- Week ending March 27-- 16; 56. Week ending May 1--17 (6.25); 56. Week ending May 20-- 18 (125); 53 (5.18 decrease). Week ending June 12--26 (43.75); 66 (17.85). Edmonton, June 12--(CP)--Beef prices -- up as much as 10 cents a pound in the last month--are slated to rise twice that during the next month, Alberta butchers predicted today, Two reasons--seasonal shortages and reports that ranchers are holding stock back, hoping that the export embargo to the United States will be lifted--are given for the price increases. Calgary has reported a 10-cent rise in the last two months with prospects of a 10 to 15-cent in- crease in the next month, Edmonton's picture is the same. Retail prices have jumped from 10 to 12 cents in two months and butchers look for another 25-cent boost during June and July. An indication of the producer re- turns was given on the Edmonton Livestock Exchange Wednesday when on-the-hoof beef sold for $22.50 a hundredweight, $2.00 more than the previous mark, set less than a month ago.
