Canada Pushes 50 Percent Farm Aid Cut Amid GATT Talks
Agricultural Minister Don Mazankowski says Canada will not drop internal farm aid until others do and may propose a 50 percent cut as a negotiating stance for the Geneva GATT talks. Grains Minister Charlie Mayer argues the move boosts Prairie competitiveness while the USSR faces drought and bread shortages. A US$13 billion cut in US farm subsidies is described as needed to reduce the deficit, though Yeutter warns it will pinch farmers.
