Brown tackles tariff war and farm costs in Commons
In Ottawa on March 12 John L Brown Liberal Progressive Lisgar challenged Hugh Guthries tariff stance. He warned high protection hurts Canadian farmers arguing a $5 wheat import duty would not raise farmer prices and urged embargo on United States fruit as a fairer route. He likened tariff warfare to a losing game. The House committee approved broader powers for anti drug probes with writs of assistance issued by judges for ministerial or attorney general applications. Addicts convicted under new rules face possible fines rather than prison.
