Gordon Says Maritimers Should Not Be Mo ed

HALIFAX (CF-Walter L. Gor- don s; id Monday night it was wrong to interpret the report of the economic rnmission he headed as suggesting that the people of the Marltimes be up- rooted as an answer to their ills.

He told the men's and women's Canadian clubs that he probably risked ”it:rther misunderstand- ing" by bringing up what devel- oped as the most controversial section in the comnsisslonis pre- liminary report. handed to the government last January.

"No one in his senses would suggest that the people of the lilaritimes should be uprooted. Why should they be? There is no 2 conceivable need for such a thing; and it could not be done if there . were. Certainly the commission made no such proposal."

The Toronto accountant said the commission was driving at a plan : whereby people in any part of I Canada. who found themselves un- able to make a living where they were. could be assisted in a move

delivery.

He said editorials which ap- peared in newspapers across the country following the commis- sion's preliminary report to the government r..'lected "the very genuine interest which exists all over Canada about the Mari- times."

But he said there had been mis- understanding because parts of the report on the Maritimas were taken out of context and quoted.

”As a result." Mr. Gordon said. ”many people were deeply of- fended and many others-includ- lng. let me add. the members of the co ' ' -were genuinely distressed and u set-"

POCKET OF P VERTY

He said the commission uncov- ered ”pockets cf poverty" in its national tour. including parts of the Atlantic provinces where people "are eking out a liv- ing by a combination of subsist- ence farming. logging and fish- ing."

But he said there was no reason

lzed developments which have been taking place. for example. in Quebec. in Alberta and in Brit- ish Columbia." He cited new Maritime development such as mining and pulp and paper. He said it was "heartening" to see major improvement in New-

lsland ioined Canada in 1949. The six-year rise in average incomes there of 10 per cent compared with the over-all Canadian climb of ml per cent.

"Another reason for optimism about the future prospects of the Maritlmes is the spirit of the people who live in this part of the country." he said. The people who appeared before the commission during the course of its public sessions in the Atlantic provinces all seemed to be an- xious to improve things and get on with the job of doing so with the least possible delay.

"Certainly. there was nothing defeatiat in their attitude."
