Hazen Argue Expounds Liberal Farm Policy
M P Hazen expounded Liberal farm policy at an afternoon meeting in support of Archie Warren. He argued the current Liberal program is the most comprehensive for Canadian farmers and urged tariff removal to gain access to European markets via the European Common Market.
