TORONTO (CP), - Premier
Willlam Davis and Opposition
Leader Stephen Lewis fired
their opening salves In the
Ontarlo election campaign
Monday, sounding as though
they had been peeking at each
other’s scripts.

While the NDP feader was
attacking the Progressive
Conservative government's
environmental policies and
predicting that Davis would be
expounding on the differences
between soclafism and free
enterprise and, the premier
predicied that Lewis would
attack the government's en-
vironmental policies.

Liberal Leader Stuart Smith
stayed out of the line of fire,
workIng on carnpalgn strategy
for the June ? election before his
first scheduled public ap-
pearance Thursday night.

the opening stages were in
marked contrast fo the 1975
campaign, when Davis and
Smith's predecessor, Robert
Nixen, engaged In a series of
vigorous exchanges while the
NOP’s attacks on the govern-
ment were virtually ignored.

The change In Conservative
tactics was obviously dictated
by the results of the 1975
balloting, which cost Davis his
majority Inthe legislature white
the NDP unseated the Liberals
as the officlal Opposition. At
dissolution, the Conservatives

had 52 of the 125 seats in the

house to the NDP’s 38 and the
Liberals’ 35.

. CALLEO ELECTION

Davis calied the election
Friday after the opposition
partles combined to amend a
clause in the government's rent-
control legislation.

In an Interview and a later
address fo a nomination
meeting, the premier sald an
NDP government would create
bureaucratle structures at @
time when Ontarlo needs people
wilting to take risks In an at-
mosphere where profit is not a
dirty word.

For his part, Lewls sald the
NDP would not shy away from
any attempt by the premier to
focus the campaign on the

_ differences between free en-
terprise and socialism. while
Smith sald In an interview he
will devote much of his cam-
palgning to economic Issues.

In his speech at the
nomination meeting. Davis sald
he expected the NDP to attempt
to obscure the “real issue’ of
economic security by ralsing
such matters as environmental
pollution.

The government Is equally
concerned about the en-
vironment, he sald, but much of
the chemical contamination of
waterways has natural causes
and the NDP likely would try to
blame the government.

Afew miles away, at another
nomination meeting, Lewis said
& list released Monday by the
natural resources department
ef about 17 lakes containing
contaminated fish, was about 30
lakes short of a JIst complied by
his own party from previous
releases by the department.

There was no disagreement
among the leaders on national
unity. deseribed a5 ‘'very
crucial” by the premier whlie
Lewls sald al! three parties are
committed to a strong and
united Canada.

sumers enjoyed higher incomes
and lower food casts than most
other countries.

Wise said the possibility of a _

drought in the Prairies this
summer underscored the need
for Ottawa to earmark more
money to develop aids such a5
drought-resistant crops. |

Wise urged Whetan to reverse

The Agricultural institute of

ture committee tas? week, urg-
Ing an Increase In financing to

In a focd-chaln related job, a

fact that exemplified the impor-

tance of the farm community to
the economy.
DEFENDS PRICES

“We moan about food prices

in thls country but our prices
are lower than most other coun-
fries,” Whelan said. _

Lorne Nystram, New Demo-
cratic Party farm spokesman,
called on the government to de-
velop an aver-all national food
policy.

Nystrom said farm Income
and dropped by between 30 and
40 per cent in the fast two
years,

A food policy should provide.
for stable farm income, In-
creased food productivity and a
more orderly system af marke}-
Ing for farm commodities, the
Saskatchewan MP sald.

Nystrom criticized a recent
study of competition In agricul-
dure by the consumer affairs
department. The study should
Include food processing, retail-
Ing and distribution as well a5
marketing boards, he said.

Alberta beef rancher Bert
Hargrave (PC—Medicine
Hat)
sald the six million cattle an the.
Prairies would have ta be re-
duced because of the drought.

He urged the government to
devetop an Income fax plan so
that money received by farmers
for sending cattle to market
during the drought could tater
be reinvested in the industry.

He sald the Prairle Farm Re-

habllltation Admintsiratian
aa In the'1920s should be ‘used

to Implement a program of
deep-well drilling for farmers.

Chartles-Arthur Gauthier
(SC—Robervat) said that just
as wheat has been destroyed
and farmers encouraged not to
sow thelr crops even In times of
world famine, dalry producers
are threatened with fines if they
produce more than thelr al-
lotied quota. .
DAIRY QUOTAS CUT

National dairy production
rose last year, but Quabec dairy
farmers had thelr quotas cut
back 20 per cent, he sald. This
caused production: well below
capacity, and It Is the consumer
who ulfimately must pay.

Gauthier sald Canada pro-
duces more butter and cheese
than It consumes, yet it contin-
ues to Import these products.
He sald that on a visit last year
to British Columbia, he talked
fo a wholesaler who had a
warehouse full of imported but-
ter. It was all that was avatl-
able. the wholesaler claimed, At
the same time Quebec farmers

had surpluses they could not un-”

load.

Frank Hamilton (PC—Switt
Current-Maple Creek) sald crop
fallure means farmers lose nat
only thelr means of Ilvelihood
but their working coplital as
well.

He blamed the govarnment
for creating an atmosphere in
which a dwindling number of
young peopie are registering In
agricultural colleges, contrary

. to the situation inthe U.S.

“There Is a deep conviction
