eratlves
in
British
Columbia
notably
the
fruit
growers
in
ths
i
Okanagan
and
the
dairy
farmers
in
the
Fraser
Valley.
The
consumer
co-operatives
had
not
kept
pace
with
the
producer
co-operatives
and
there
was
a
need
for
more
effective
consumer-producer
relationship
in
co-opera
Uves.
As
long
as
a
producer
co-operative,
on
one
hand,
was
forced
to
sell
Its
goods
in
a
profit
economy
and
a
consumer
co-operative,
on
the
other,
had
to
buy
in
a
profit
economy,
the
co-operative
move
ment
was
at
the
mercy
of
that
pioflt
eccncniy.
Therefore,
a
full
producer-consumer,
national
and
international,
should
be
the
ob
jective.
The
co-operative
spirit
had
developed
more
fully
In
the
rural
areas
than
in
the
cities
where
the
trades
-
unionists
lived.
High
wages
did
not
mean
co-opera
tion,
Mr.
Clarke
said,
and
raising
wages
could
not
stop
exploitation.
Increase
in
purchasing
power
was
the
real
raise
in
wages.
"One
of
the
troubles
is
that
trades
unionists
and
socialists
pass
resolutions
In
support
of
cooperatives
and
then
go
home
and
do
nothing
about
it,"
declared
Mr.
Clarke.
There
was
too
much
of
an
attitude
of
"wait
until
wc
get
the
government
and
let
the
government
do
It."
In
reality,
there
was
the
opportunity
to
suoport
and
assist
In
the
development
of
the
co-operatlvt;
movement
in
a
practical
way.
In

and

period
which
followed

Mr.
Clarke
admitted
that

Mr.
