Warning that a farm strike might ensue if demands are ignored, a delegation of the Farmers' Unions of the three prairie provinces pre- sented the cabinet with an 8,000- work brief, proposed: 1--An increase in the domestic price of wheat. to at least $2 a bushel, basis No. 1 Northern with a still-further increase if the cost of living keeps rising. Currently, the domestic price is about $1.89 a bushel, geared to the price prevail- ing in the International Wheat agreement, . 2. The trade department be re- lieved of grain-marketing admin- istration because of alleged mis- handling of the controversial An- glo-Canadian wheat agreement, and that. the agriculture depart- ment be asked to take over the job. 3. The Canadian Wheat Board be reconstituted with majority control passing from the hands of the gov- ernment to the wheat producers themselves. The brief pressed, too, for adequate farm-producer re- presentation on the Board of Grain Commissioners. 4 --Elimination, as far as practi- cal, of the "middle men and grain gamblers" in Canadian Wheat Board marketing. The board was | criticized for continued use of the speculative market in coarse-grain sales. 5.--The government restrain from reimposing anti-dumping regula- tions against British automobiles. The three-year waiver ends May 81. British cars were filling a need in Canada, particularly in Western Canada, where the ordinary Cana- dian car was priced beyond the farmer's means. On the other hand, Canadian car manufacturers did not need the "protection" which the anti-dumping regulations might bring them. 6. The government's agricultural price-support program should . be broadened to include all products not now covered. An automatic floor price should be worked out in advance for these items and should | become effective immediately prices | fell below an agreed percentage of what may be considered a fair mar- ket price The brief was presented by Ja- cob Schulz, President of the Mani- toba Farmers' Union; J. L. Phelps, President of the Saskatchewan Farmers' Union, and Henry Young, President of the Farmers' Union of Alberta. Other representation cov- ered the Peace River block of Brit- ish Columbia, In general, the unions said they believed that the most serious problem facing farmers is the rise in costs, widening the gap between the price the farmer receives for his products and the price for the things he must buy. Price controls were * needed, but farmers would not agree to a price freeze at "present ineuitable levels." There had to be an adjustment of prices on a basis of parity. Boards should be estab- lished to adjust this basis and ad- ministrate polisy. On these the agricultural industry should 'be given adequate representation. "As leader of the western farm movement, we do not want to see a farm strike--or a strike of any kind," the delegation's brief con- cluded. "Strikers are wasteful, a form of economic warfare. "We nevertheless feel duty-bound to point out that at the annual convention of the .Saskatchewan Farmers' Union last December a resolution was passed instructing the provincial board of directors to | draft a farm strike plan and work- | ing formula to be used if negotia- tions proved ineffective. "We have pleaded with our mem- bership for negotiations. We wish it to be clearly understood that this presentation is part of these earn- est negotiations."

There has been a consider- able amount of improvement in the march past this last while, so keep up your good work lads and we'll] make it shine at the inspec- tion. The date of inspection is being changed from Fri. May 18th to either Tues. May 1st or Tues. May 29th so "stand by," and listen Tuesday, i for further notices. After the Com. | Drill the instructors carried on with squad drill. Also on Tues. was a volley ball game between Athabaskan, and Chaudier. In the first game Chaudier defeated Athabaskan 21-14. In the second game Athabaskan came from be- | hind and walloped Chaudier 21-10. In the last and final game "Robby" removed both his glasses and all | but three of his teammates, and beat the Athabaskan 21-11. The top 3 shots in rifles shooting are as follows: Helferty 46; Andrews 45; Trail 43. The band assembled at 7:10 p.m, and were inspected by Mr. Askew, who was well pleased at the clean uniforms, and shining trumpets. After inspection the band carried on with its practice. The band sounded the best that it ever has | since it began. Now that we see the sun more often, I think we will try to get some more marches, and go out on some well earned route marches. Band will assemble at 7 p.m, at the armouries, and Mr. Askew will carry on with inspec- tion, so keep your uniform, and trumpets clean. At the end of the evening Lt. Maynard announced that Thurs, will again be a com- pulsory parade. Thursday Parade The floor hockey team accepted an invitation from our friendly rivals the Air Cadets, and went down to Rotary Hall to play. It was a rugged game (and I'm not kidding). The score at the end of the first period was 3-1 for "Drake" and at the end of the second was 5-2. The third period 'was the ru-gedest of the three but "Drake" took every thing the Air Cadets could give, and gave plenty tdo. The final score was 7-5 in favor of "Drake". Scorers for "Drake" (as far as I can remember) are: Free- man ,2; Robby, 2; Tim, 1 (and three bumps all on the same side of his head); Ted,"1; and Rora- beck, 1. Don't forget to bring your recruits in Tues. Duty Watch is "Chaudier." They will assemble at 6:50 at the bar- racks.

Leave Plans f Include Possi or Patricias hility Of Tokyo Centre Using British By BILL BOSS ; | Canadian Press Staff Writer | West Central Sector, Korea, April | 9 --< (CP) -- In the spring a young | soldier's fancy lightly turns to | thoughts of -- leave. Especially if he belongs to the Princess Patricias who have been | confined to the battalion area since | reaching Korea last December, News that the United States is in- | stituting a rotational policy for ser- vice in Korea and that the British government is relieving two Bat- talions of the 27th Commonwealth Brigade spurred discussion on what may be provided for the Patricias. (War * Minister John Strachey anounced in the British House of Commons last Tuesday that the British section of the 27th Brigade --the Middlesex Regiment and the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders --will be relieved soon after seven months in the line. He said there are no plans to relieve the 29th Brigade which arrived in Korea in November. . | (Under the recently announced | United States rotation plan, to be- gin in mid-April, some 20,000 men monthly will be relieved when the plan gets into full swing. Army Secretary Frank Pace said the num- ber to be rotated in the early stages will depend upon the flow of re- placements and the pressure. of war.) The emphasis among the men's preferences is on provision for leave in Japan, preferably at the 27th Brigade's leave centre, But a close second is for an established policy on how long a Canadian soldier shall serve in Korea. There is po provision yet for a Canadian leave centre in Tokyo but the impression here and in Tokyo is that a decision will be | made on the matter by Brig. J. M. | (Rocky) Rockingham when he ar= pe > | | bile a week ago on Highway 45. Po- rives this month with the special force, now at Fort Lewis, Wash. Arthur Menzies, chief of the Canadian Diplomatic' Mission in Tokyo, has invited any Canadians visiting Tokyo to live at his resi- dence but so far the Canadians haven't had a chance to accept. | The Patricias earlier deferred ac- ceptance of an invitation to use the Commonwealth Brigade Leave Cen- tre, at least until the troops who had done the bulk of the fighting | before the Canadians joined the line had used it. During the Second World War the Canadian Army reqfiisitioned European hotels in rear areas and gave troops several clear days in virtual luxury.

Proposals came yesterday from within and outside Parliament as the car scarcity continued to im- pede the movement of grain and other commodities. In the Commons, Hazen Argue (CCF -- Assiniboia) called on the government to appoint a Transport Controller and to consider putting an embargo on boxcar movements to the United States to force the return of Canadian-owned cars re- | turning too slowly from U.S. rail- roads. Earlier this week the Saskatche- | wan legislature had asked for a controller. Yesterday the Cana- dian Federation of Agriculture ask- ed for some government action to get cars to move western wheat. Transport department officials yesterday said the government has set up a committee, with the wheat board and the railways represented, | to find means of getting cars to the | west. | Mr. Argue said millions of bushels of grain could not be moved in the | west for lack of rolling stock. This | | not only affected the west but east- | ern Canada as well, since the grain | was needed for feeding livestock. | His request came during a brief | discussion last night on annual es- | timates of the agriculture depart- | ment.

CUT RAILWAY LINE Tokyo, April 9 -- (AP) Marines made a commando raid eight miles south of Songjin Satur- day destroying 100 yards of the main east coast railway from Man- churia.

RETURN AIRCRAPT PIECES London, Ont. April 9--(CP)-- More than a dozen persons have responded to an appeal for the re- turn of aircraft fragments scatter- ed over a wide area near Komoka Thursday when the jet fighters CF100 crashed and exploded. Both R.CAF. officials and provincial police appealed to persons finding such fragments to turn them over to the police. BANDMASTER RETIRING Waterloo, April 9--(CP)--C. P. Thiele, leader of the Waterloo Band for 32 years, announced his retirement Sunday at conclusion of the three-day Canadian Band- master's Association convention. He said his successor will be Fred Roy of Oshawa, who will transfer to Kitchener~-Waterloo Collegiate in September. -- Two | hundred and fifty British Royal | assistance, based on a complex | | formula hinged to production costs, | | would amount to between $10,000, | [000 and $11,000,000 for this year. | | Under an earlier formula, this | | year's aid would have been soms | | $3,000,000 less. | Opposition members criticized the | new aid as "inadequate," asking | | that Canadian gold producers be | enabled to get at least part of the benefits of the current premium price for gold on the world market. The government now buys gold at $35 U.S. funds per fine ounce. Mines Minister Prudham said the government hopes the gold bill will help the mines to meet continuing | high costs of production and con- sequently assist northern communi- | ties which derive their livelihood from the mines. He discussed the vital place of the industry in Canada's economic picture and reviewed the assistance program since it first was intro- duced in 1948. It is being continued because of representations by the | industry. Great Disappointment Donald Fleming (PC -- Toronto Eglinton) suggested the industry was in for a "very great disappoint- ment." A fundamental problem was that it was squeezed between high production costs and a selling price for its product which was fixed by the government and "tied up" through international agreements. On the present basis, the legisla- tion was "stop-gap and temporary. Joseph Bradette (L, -- Cochrane) supported the legislation, but sug- gested it would be impossible to put it into permanent form. He called for a higher price for gold and sug- gested the treasury, as an experi- ment, boost its price by $5 or $10 an ounce. Against Free Market Mr. Prudham indicated he did not favor a free market for gold. It was his view that, if the whole world got on a free gold market, the price might drop. In any case, he said, Canada had to abide by the regulations of the International Monetary Fund as long as she was a subscriber to it. John Blackmore (SC Leth- bridge), Social Credit spokesman, uses the measure as a springboard for an attack on "that iniquitious monster" the International Mone- tary Fund. The fund has been a Supply Failed In Jet Plane Toronto, April 9--(CP)--The o. said Saturday that lack of oxyge! may have caused last Thursday' crash of a CF-100 jet fighter neal London, Ont. "Something happened eight miles high to cut off the oxygen supply for Flt. Lt. Bruce Warren (the pilot) before the fatal plunge of the CF-100," the paper says in a newspage story. "This is the theory to. which investigators have been led during an initial examination of wreckage scattered around the crash scene. "Warren and his engineering ob= server, Bob Ostrander, were unable to use their ejection seats during the 60 seconds it took the twin-jet plane to dive into the ground and kill both men."

Fulton (PC--Kamloops), whose riding contains British Col= umbia's biggest gold producer, sug= gested one of two alternatives: 1. Allowing gold to be sold on a free market, which would be bene- ficial to international trade and th convertibility of currencies. ¢ 2. Further domestic measures to assist the industry beyond the aid provided in the proposed legislation. Mr. Fulton said the gold-mining industry of British Columbia faces {a "real question" to whether some mines will be able to continue op- eration under present conditions, Seen the new rooms? . .. at re SHERMAN Chicago's Make the Sherman i your hotel in Chicages personality ¢ new rooms, hotel...now dramatically designed.
