One Shot Federal Aid Program Nearing End
Ottawa reports the end of the one shot federal aid program for crop failures may be near as Western MPs clash with Agriculture Minister J J Greene over financing. Alberta Premier Manning accuses the Liberal government of denying half the cost of a 2 5 million provincial plan for Peace River area and other farmers while Ottawa pays half of Ontario and Quebec programs. The dispute tests Liberal shift toward a continuing farm aid policy centered on expanding the federal provincial crop insurance scheme begun in 1960 with farm and provincial contributions ongoing.
