compulsory after May l of allCity cunployces who are '10 years of ago or over. The resolution also requires that all City employees who uush to engage in rcmuner. utivc labour for others after their regular hours must secure the permission of the Council, coum F. C. Dougan voted against the resolution.

Strong disapproval was express. rd at the meeting b coon, F, C. Dougan at what &G termed was the inactivity of the police in flniy teasing 18 vehicles last mont-h for traffic violation.

‘_‘Why?" the Councillor asked, "pick on only a fmv? Why don‘t the police trcal all citizens alike? Icould go out now and get 18 wit-bin the next hour. Yet, the 11011“ can only set l8 in u month. ‘Ilhat. is not one a dziv. But there are more serious offenses than parking.

Coun. Dougan: “The whole sit. uation is only a joke. Between 5 and 5.15 this evening I counted scvcn cars parked on the wrong side o!’ one street. Just use overv- nne alike and I'll have nothing to saw.

Mayor MacDonald informed the Council he had Just heard that ilic Provincial Department of l-ligliways had bought an 115911511, piiint and he suggested the Coun- cl! ask the Hon. Mr. Barbour, Minister of Public Works and Highways. if the City could bor- row the plant for a time.

Legislature In Committee

The House met at 3.30 p.m. with

Deputy Speaker Ramsay in the chair. Hon. Mr. Wright presented a

petition from the directors of iiie Dunk River Dairying Co. for an Act to amend the Company's 1n. corporation Act for the purpose 0f increasing the capital stock. A bill in accordance with the petit- ion was received and read.

The following bills were rend a third time and passed: A.n Act to amend the Evidence Act; an Act, to amend the Legal Profession Act; an Act to amend an Act to incorporate Sinclair and Stewart, Ltd; an Act to amend this Chan- “PYY AC1; an Act to authorize the issue of debentures for the City of Charlottetown; an Act respecg- ing crop mortgages for securing lllc purchase price of fertilizer and srr-d potatoes; an Act to am.- cnd (lie Charlottetown Water Works Act; an Act to amend an Aict to incorporate the Town of Alberton; an Act to amend an Act to incorporate the Maritime Hospital Service Association; an Act to amend the Vital Statistidl Amt.

0n motion of I-fon. Mr. Wright the House went into committee with Mr. Phillips in the chair on an Act tn amend the Town of Bordon Incorporation Act. The bi. makes provision for license fees on non-residents carrying on any business or engaging in any tmnsient work within the Town. In the latter case the maximum fee is $10. Hon. Mi‘. Barbour suggcstcd this should be rcduccd to $5. Mr. Strong believed that where a Town Council, which is responsible to the people, asks for legislation of this kind it should be granted,

Mr. Barbour said that with the work on (he new docks at Borden there will be hundreds employed, many of ihem perhaps for only a few days. and a transient fee of $10 was very high. Hon. Mr. Stew- art believed it should be reduced to $2. .

lVIr. R. R. Bell pointed out that the fee in Charlottetown is $10.

Hon. Mr. Wright said he did not think tihe maximum fee would be imposed but in any case the Town of Bordon had the same riglit as the Charlottetown City Council to impose a $10 fee.

Hun. Mr. Strong agreed that the Town authorities had a per- fect right to ask for this legis- lation.

Mr. Eugene Cullen Ticgislziturc could not evade its responsibility. If it considered (he fee too high it should reduce it.

‘There was further discussion by ‘Hon. Mr. Stewart, Mr. Dnuqald lifacKinnnn. Hon. Mr. Wright. Hon. William I-Iuzhos. lion. Mr. Barbour, Mr. Strong, Miz- Morley Bell.

‘Ilhe question of a railway man being iaxrd under this Act was raised by lion. Dr. MacMillan anr‘. Mr. Strong. The promoter said in their case he presumed the Railway would be required to pay. Mr. E. Cullen thought the Town authorities would use discretion in such cases.

Hon: Dr. MricMiliun suggested that the bill be zimciidcdmxcmpt- ing (ho railway men who have already paid a poll tax in tihis Province.

'I‘here was further discussion by Mr. Llnklcitei‘ and Hon. Mir. Wright. The lnitcr agreed with Dr. MacMillan that railway men should not have to pay double taxation. On his motion, it was

In comparing the Maritime sit/u- ation with the other regions, Mr. ' MacLaren said that on March 27 iihe Maritime; had 28,000 applicants for j0b3 and only 3,000 openings. In the other four areas the trend was much more favorable and the difference between applicants and jcbs would soon be rectified.

g Heavy Construction Program

j The Maritlmes could look for-

: ward to a heavy construction pro-

" gram this summer and a good tour- ist trade that should increase em- ployment. But where lhis did not lake up the slack the government

(was prepared i0 transport. men to

jobs in other parts of Canada. He

said he believed (here would be a

need for men in the other provin-

ccs, especially Ontario, this sum~ mer,

This movement had already started with more than I00 men filling a. demand for miners in the gold belt in Ontario, 86 going to the niclcrl mines and 7G with On- tario Iiydro. The Hydro develop- ment wac a five-year project that would employ 7,000 at. 1B Nak- Them were still about 300 unfilled orders for the nickel industry.

The Halifax office was payinl out $700 a day in cash to claim- ants, Mr. Hartley said. and time appeared to be nothing in ailflt for those who would be exhaust- lng their benefits. At present the Maritime; had 7.507 D.V.A. claim- ants or 26 per cent of the Canadian total, and 13.801 unemployment insurance claimants, or 12 1-2 pr-r rent of the Canadian iolal. The 9,440 claims made through tnc mails was the greatest number in Canada, and New Glasgow set a record in 1940 by paylnl W! l total of $1,309,000 in benefits.

I-le salrl that on Dec. U. 1945. the

Maritime; had 1-15 of the Cana- dian vacancies and 1-12 of the ‘Canadian job applicants but on ,March 20 of this year the Mar‘.- Wlme; had 1-27 of the Canadian vacancies and 1-6 of the job appli- cants_

The transfer of men to Ontario had been a success, he said. The employers were well satisfied with the class of worker sent to them and tha men themselves were satisfied. This resulted in an in- crease in orders.

g Grim Plcturc While the ieiura wan grim, "cpl; had not ecome frantic bo-

mentcd to Stalin:

"I feel that if stories came out without censorship. it would be a better basis for co-operation and understanding by our people than any other basis". Stalin replied!

"It will be difficult in our coun- try to dispense with censorship. Molotov (now Foreign Minister Molotov) tried to do it several times. We had to resume it and each time we repented it. In the autumn of 1046, censorship was repealed. I was on leave and they

started to write stories that Mol-

otov had forced me to go on leave and tihen wrote stories that I should return and fire him. These

stories depicted tho Soviet Gov-; i-rnment as a sort of zoological

garden," ‘

(Censorship since that time has been relaxed for stories re- lating to the foreign ministers conference, but not_ for other news from Moscow. This story on the Stassen meeting with re- porters was delayed several hours in the Moscow censorship office.)

Stassen questioned Stalin about (he rcfiasal of Russia to admit- a

correspondent of the New Yorlc= Herald Tribune. Such things. Stassen said, “contributed to a lack of understanding between our people."

After questioning Molotov. stal- in replied:
