lie also stated that last year's announcement of Premier Jones to the effect that the Provincial Government could neither accept

nor reject the C.N.R. proposals until provincial autonomy over ail highway traffic had been OSiH.iJilShEd un-quest-ionably. ”was no defeat for tne C.A.T.A.."

In opening his remarks Mr.

.Vilig9P praised the work of Messrs. W. E. Darby, Attorney-General, J. O. C. Campbell, Deputy At- torney General. and B. Graham Rogers. Director of Transporta- tion. in submitting their recent report to the Turgeon Royal Coin- inissinn on Transportation. He stated that. more material was accepted from the P.E.l. brief than from any other provincial report.

The 20,000,000 tons of freight moved by -truck in 1050 was an all-time record. he said, as he noted that last year was the great- est in the history of Canada's trucking industry.

He stated that central control of trucking would never come

about if the C.A.T.A. has its way. ”We will fight any attempt to bring any part of the trucking

industry under federal control and we cxpcct to win."

Mr. Magee reviewed the achieve- ments of the trucking industry in Ontario during war time and stressed the essentiality of the in- dustry to defense production. He also outlined the importance of truck transportation in civil de- fcnse and peace-time disaster.

He noted that the truck indus- try developed as the result of the need of frequent and speedy frcight service was required.

An Air Force veteran who was born in Oakvillc. Ontario. Mr. Magee. was introduced by Mr. Keith MacKinnon. The Board of Trade president, Lt.-Col. Frank Storey thanked the speaker for

his address. Mr. B. Graham Rogers. speak- ing briefly on Charlottetown's

coming Festive Week. stated that judging from the interest shown on the mainland there was is good chance that the largest crowd over to assemble in the Province might be on hand for the big week.

He paid tribute in MI". 3- 3- Mulch for inaugurating the wood Islands Ferry service and warmly complimented Mr. Magee for his talk.

tion of submissions to the Federal Government, outlining the needs and requirements of Prince Ed- ward Island. Eventually the Fed- eral Government indicated the terms under which it was pre- pared to renew the agreement for a further period of five years. that is. from April 1. 1952.

"Under these proposals. this Province was guaranteed a mini- mum annual payment of 32,911,000 w' h an upward revision as the a ount. of gross national produc- tion bears to the base year of 1948. According to present figure: we will receive during the first year 53,280,000 for these tax ren- lals. Negotiations are still pend- ing and we are pressing for an upward revision of the amounts to be paid.

"I would suggest to you with a Liberal Government in power at Ottawa. and pending the con. clusion of these negotiations that it is in your own best interests to return to power here a Lib- oral administration with full pros- pects of sympathetic consideration from that Liberal Government at Ottawa. rather than to place in control a Government hostile in nature and policy to the Fedqral Government.

"It. is because of the importance of this matter that your Liberal Government felt. it should seek a renewed mandate before commit- ting the Province to the terms of any financial arrangement which can so vitally affect your inter- ests over the succeeding years. We think we were right in doing so and we have every confidence that good Island common sense will see the wisdom of rc-elect- lng the present Administration to finish this tuk.

Cites Budget Debate

"That. is the main reason for an early election. as these negotia- tions will shortly be renewed. That it was called prior to the first of May was out of considera- tion for our farmers and fisher- mtn before their season's work begins. Our Conservative friends suggest they will not have suf- ficient time to place the issues before the people. but may I in- dicate that when a full and com- prehensive review of the work of all departments of government. as well as the expenditures for the past year and the proposed ex- penditures for the now current year, was laid -before the Legisla- ture. in my Budget speech of March 26 last. they found so little to criticize or condemn that only one of them had anything to say at all: and that one the leader of the opposition, and he. presum- ably only because it was his of- ficial duty to do so.

"Wiih regard to local matters. I think it can be said and very properly so, that the Jones Gov- crnment has given this Province not only careful and prudent ad- ministration, but. also when the need arose. detenmined, forward looking and courageous action. It is quite possible that some errors have been committed. for after all governments are only compos- ed of human beings. Such slight errors as may have occurred can not in any way detract from the ovcrall picture of achievement and progress.

"In the short. space of time that. is available in one evening, it is not possible to deal with all phases of government administration. but I would like directly to call your attention to some of these and particularly as they affect us in our every day life. In the De- partment of Agriculture every effort. has been made to expand the services on behalf of our farming population. The outlay for field supervision will be in- creased to nearly 040,000 in the present year as compared to 328.- 000 spent last year. The estab- lishment of the Agricultural Pathological Laboratory cost near- ly si5.ooo and this free service will -be expanded in the coming year.

other services

"We propose to spend 812.000 on Veterinary Service and that will be provided as soon as qualified persons are available.

:'l'lie grants to Women's Tn- iiiitufes will be Increased from 311.000 to 013.000.

"Land clearing and drainage services Ire being rapidly ex- panded and although they cosae under the Department of Industry and Natural Resources they form part of the general -plan intended to aid the farm industry.

"Each year the work of the department under its capable Minister. the Hon. C. C. Baker. is being extended and this year we propose to expend 0220.010 as compared with 1130,00 last year and by far the most comprehen- sive program ever designed to as-

sist the farmer.

"Allied to the work of the De- partment of Agriculture and dove- talllng with it In our efforts to promote Island industry and en- tenprise. the newly created De- partment of Industry and Na- tural Resources, under the able guidance of the Hon. Eugene Cul- lea, is rapidly developing policies In sld'of our fisheries and fores- try resources.

"A Forestry Division has been created and two qualified fores- ters appointed. The Forest Nurs- ery is being operated to provide

minal charges; and upciimenta are being conducted to ascertain the feasibility of growing addi- tional species not native to the soil.

"Fish and Game development is being rapidly promoted 'and should provide not only an added tour- ist attraction. but a fruitful source of revenue to those directly con- cerned. '

"A Fisheries Division has beon set up and 305,0tll has been vot- ed to develop the industry and to seek surar and wider markets for fishing products.

"The cold Storage plant is also operated by this department and has already proved a great boon to both the farming and fishing lndl.lSt1'iGS.' All these new ser- vices have been inaugurated by this Government in its efforts on your behalf.

Highway Improvement

"In the Department of Public Works and Highways. our policy has been to provide roads in keep- ing with modern forms of trans- portation. During the past. year 107 miles of roadway has been subgraded and gravclled, and this has been apportioned almost equal- ly among the three counties. If returned to power we propose this year to pave in Prince County the road from New Annan to Ken-

sin-gton; from Wilmot. to Ross's Corner and from O'Lea.ry to -Springfield; in Queen's County,

ten miles of Trans-Canada High- way. and in King's County from Poole's Corner to Georgetown with spur to Cardigan.

"In addition to this it is pro- posed to expend 0500.000 on im- proved gravelleci h i g h w a y s throughout the Province, and an additional 3600.000 on the Trans- Canada Highway, half the cost of which will be borne by the Do- minion Goverrxment. At the same time routine highway mainten- ance will be carried on. and the snow clearing program continued and where possible expanded.

"While expenditures on high- ways are heavy, nevertheless we felt. the Government should as- sume the responsibility of meet- ing the demand for improved road facilities. and we are pre- pared to abide by your decision as to whether our course was correct or not.

"So far I have dealt with those functions of Government having to do with things of a material nature, but I wish to assure you that we have not overlooked those other fundamentals - the educa- tion of our youth and Health and Welfare services.

Education

I

"In the sphere of education our policy has been to train and de- velop better teechers; to improve school buildings and premises: to increase teachers salaries and to provide for vocational instruction. Within the last few years salaries have been very substantially aug- mented; grants for rural school improvements have involved ex- penditures exceeding :l50.000 and an amount of 380.000 has been provided for further assistance this year.

"Student loans and grants have also been made available for teacher training courses. This Government built and equipped the Vocational School and courses are now being conducted in car- pentry. bricklaying. plumbing. plastering, electrical work, domes- tic science and agriculture. For those who left school at an early age these courses provide instruc- tion of -incalculnible value in the learning of profitable trades. A visit to this institution would be an eye opener and we feel certain that no criticism can be offered for our expenditures in this di- rection. i

"Altogether 5930.000 was spent on education for the year ended March 31, 1951, while for this year our efforts in this regard will involve an expenditure of over 31.150000. the "highest pro- portionate cost borne by any Govermnent in Canada.

"Later this week you will have an opportunrlty of hearing the Hon. Alex Matheson. Minister of Health and Welfare deal with the work of this Department. but I should like to toke a few minutes to outline some of the services inaugurated by this Government to look after the poor and needy. the afflicted in mind and body; and the measures instituted to- wards the prevention and cure of disease.

"rhe degree by which those so- cial security measurea have been expanded may be gauged by the comparative expenditures made during recent yeare. In 1048. we spent 81,400,000. in 1040 32,347,000. Last year 32,471,000, while for this year the estimated expenditures will reach 82,570,000. when you consider that: only ten years ago. in 1041. the whole Provincial ex- penditure was slightly under 32.- zoom. you will realize the ex- tent of the program which has been undertaken.

I llealll Services

Budget Comparisons

LONDON. April ll -- tCP) - New British income-tax rates an- nounced yesterday indicate these comparative figures for income taxes in Britain, Canada and the United States:

British Income Tax Rates

"That this policy is bringing good results is evident when sta- tistics reveal that the death rate has been reduced from over 90 per hundred thousand to 23 in the short space ofiless than 10 years. Public Health Clinics have been established at various centres throughout the Province and a close check is kept on, infections and contagious disease. The Pro- vincial Laboratory set up in the new Public Health Building in Charlottetown is providing a ser- vice unequalled anvywhere.

"Mot.hcrs' Allowances were in- stituted by this Government xknd assistance granted each year runs well over 350.000. Social assist- ance for the sized not qualifying for Old Age Pensions. and for the infirm and unemployable cost -us s60,000 more. As to Old Age Pensions the expenditure this year will be approximately st.- Z')0.0G). three-fourth of which is paid by Ottawa.

"May I say here that at the Do- minion Provincial Con-ference a new proposal for Old Age secur- ity was formulated.

"The Federal plan calls for a contributory Old Age Pension sys- tem of 540.00 per month at age 70, the cntirc cost of which to be borne by the Dominion.

"It also proposed Old Age as- sistance between 05 and 89 on a means test basis to be borne equal- ly by Federal and Provincial Gov- ornrments.

"To these proposals we have agreed and when the necessary constitutional amendment is ob- tiiined this system will comelinto effect on January 1, 1052. It is anticipated that the overall cost to the Province will not be in- creased under the new proposals on behalf of the old.

"While the whole expenditures in Health and Welfare are high, we think they are justified by the results and the benefits in the long run may prove incalculable.

Budgetary surpluses
