McLean, President of Canada Packers Limited At a receiu meeting of the Lions Club in -Clinton, Ontario, Mr. J. S. McLean, Presidents of Canada Packer.-, .itscussed a prob- lem of vital importance to every farmer in Canada farm econ- omy: the profit :;nd loss of farm- ing: at the present time and the conditions with which the farmer may be confronted when the war is over. Comparing key farm pi in > in the years 1933 to 1942. Mi. Mc- Lean said that the gross agricul- tural production in Canada in- creased by Irj-i percent and the cash income of agricultural pro- duction, in the same prriod. in- cn-.tsed by 193 percent. Approximately the saint : >-ni- be of farms were in operation in J! ( 33 as in 1942. The number of persons employed was probably kss in 1942. In spite of this fact, the income per farm was $1.000.00 more than in il'3o. In these times. Mr. McLean raid, the farmer's mind is easy in one very important reppect. He knows there will be a ready mar- ket for everything he can produce but a time will come when work food production will get back to normal. What will then happen to Canadian agriculture ? Post-war Reconstruction An enlijrhteni-U Ajrricjitural policy must keep in mind the far that one-third of i.'anada's popula- tion lives on her farms. The wel- fare of this lai-jri part is clearly an important factor in the wcl- faiv of the wnole. I'hrastd in purely economic language, the purchasing power of the farm croups is one of th- most .rn- portant elements in the total economy of the country. How can tht welfare of Cana- dian Agriculture be advanced'.' Or, otherwise, how can Agricul- tural depressions b itvoiiif. '.' Depressed Conditioni Depressed conditions. A IK-U they occur, derive from two main causes: (a) Crop failures. These are pasniodic, and local. Neverthe- less. they sometimes assume major proportions. Fortunately, this it not true of our own Province. In Ontario we have never suffered from crop failures on a disastrous cali;. (b) The oihi-r cause of depres- sion is low prices. All ol us here an recall at least two prolonged periods in which the things which the farmer produced could not be exchanged for ;ui adequate <|uan- tity of the things which he had to buy. In such periods, even those farmers with good crops are doomed to a iow .standard of liv- ing. And the wi\.>le ecoMomy Mil- fers from tht farmer's !; U '-k of purchasing power. Price Levels The obligation of the Govern- ment towards Apiculture . possible, to set up conditions in which prices of farm protiui :i> are maintained at an adequate level, Policies for manitairiiiK faun ' S' hich prices fall into two may be designated: (1) 'ad hoc' or artificial meth- ods. (2) Natural economic nu-in-d*. Artificial Methods (1) Examples of 'ad hoc' or artificial metiuvis aiv a> fol- lows: (a) The ri-.-tricrioii oi proiijc- tion. The object of such ixpuiii. *m> is to advaiuv prii-es fy re- diu-inj;' supplies. Hccent i .xainnie' of this method were the killing of millions of young pigs and of fo- nia'e cattle in iln United Sum... hi the years U>32 and l!'.'!;i. Also the cutting down of \\lu-at . . age in the I'niud States a . ada in the last !>.-\v \v:i:-s. \\'o in.<tinc;ici !y ti.|-| that to tut down pro.ii in '.- th/ vornt way of l-O! r:'i:!-l,; lir,\- 1 production is oi wny of roiTecting low p fC( . (b) Another artificial method is that or' Governmental subsi- dies. This expedient has been widely .i-ed in Canada within the last three years. Subsidies began on wheat, and are now extended to butter, cheese, hogs and sev- eral other farm products. Total Agricultural suh.<idie.< paid by the Dominion iJovemmenl in the year ly-lL' a-nounted to <iO million <lo!- lars. Subsidies The drawback of subsidies is that they have to be taken from other groups of the community, and they are therefore uncertain and .ire likely to Je cut oil' at the time when they are needed most. Farmers do not refuse subsidies when they are offered. However, I think it is true to say they have an underlying feeling that this type of assistance can not per- manently Benefit them. Natural Economic Methods <2) Other methods of main- taining prices I have referred to a* 'natural economic method.*. 1 These must be the outgrowth of the underlying conditions of Can- adian Agriculture. These condi- tions may h summarized as fol- lows: (a) Because of its wide Agri- cultural areas and its relatively- sparse population. Canada pi'o- duce.-s and must continue to pro- duce, a large Agricultural sur- plus. (b| A surplus can exist in a primary form (e.g. wheat), or it may lie converted from a primary to n secondary form ( e.g. wheat may be converted to live stock, dairy products, poultry, etc.) An enlightened Agricultural policy involves the conversion of the total surplus to the forms in which it can most read'ly be marketed, (c) When a surplus exists ><' any one crop, the price obtainable abroad for that surplus is the chief factor in determining the price which the producer receives for the total crop. (Example: the price of all the wheat, is determined chiefly by the price received for the surplus at Liverpool; the price of all the hogs is determined chiefly by the price received- for Wiltshire Bacon at London. ) (d i If a surplus ot any crop exists which can not be cleared, the price of that crop is bound to be depressed. (e.g. wheat in the la*r twelve \ e;ir. ) Maintaining Prices Out uf the above factors, there emerges what mny !>e called a natural economic method of nuii'i- tainiiijr Agricultural prices in Canada. 1 (1| To si>c;;,e m;;rM Us abroad, at satisfactory prices, for Can- ada's, total Agricultural surplus. Ci) To convert that surplus into the forms in which markets can irost rrad'ly be secured. At tile present time, these con- dition-; exist, (with the modified exception of uhont). And, as a result. Agriculture in Canada is in a prosperous condil ion. Post-war Solution M.iw can similar conditions be maintained in tiio post-war per- iod? Tr> iiruin with, the si/c of the problem i -in he reduced by in- SOLDIERS ( RUB OUT TIRED ACKES creasing home consumption ;uui thereby diminishing the surplus which must be exported. To the extent that it can be applied, this is the simplest solu- tion, as it lie.s entirely within the control of Canadian authorities. Moreover, on other grounds this policy is highly desirable in 'it- self, for it involves improvement in our standards of nutrition and thereby t.ie o-ihancemcnt of the chief r.atioii;;: as.-et. me health and efri' .. the Car- people. HoWi \\ :-. even if a perfect baluni'i'ii .-::; dard .if :ui: should i>o established i.-i Ga a large --a-phi.- of :'.:o,i -vi:l sr.ll exist which -.vill have .> be ex- ported 1><'JO!1.1 our iiorcle ;.

I'iie peoples of 'i.f world could easily consume all the food wnich could he prodiiet-d. This ph;..-i- oi the solution in- volves international movement of foods on a .scale much greater than ever before. Facilities for such movement would have to be provided by arra.ujvmerns be- tween (lovernnit'nts. Type of Agreements And one of the most useful studies for the post-war period is the type of agreements between Government! which will bes; .1-- sist such movement in tin- period just follow, r.jr the w;ir. :i::(i. st;ige by sta.te. later. From the millions of people, particularly in Kurope. who w.i! have been .-uffering for year" from varying degree* of food hortace. H'CM-H will be an ea.i demand for all the foods, especi- ally protective foods, whii-h a o on hand and which can be pro- duced within the first year, per- haps within the first t \vn year. Rut Governments will have to arrange the financing of - :, movement. At the begin probably the movement \vi I i effected jy individual long-term credits irra tit i'd liy the exporting country to the import ;i\x country. One idea emerges upon which the optimist likes to dwell; viz. that the policy which be.^t pro- vides for human needs seems also the most pn.ctical as a solution of our economic perplexities. If somehow we CHII manage to establish a universal minimum standard of nutrition, perhaps the problem of farm prices may find its own solution. In the same way. ;f we i-an succeed in keeping everyone em- ployed, we -HV'i not. spent much time thinking out systems of re- lief and unemployment insurance.. They w : ll not be neeiieil.
