Urges Probe Of New Brunswick Liquor Situation
FREDERICTON ICP) - Legis- -lature committee investigation of all aspects of the New Brunswick liquor situation was urged in the legislature Wednesday by George E. Mclnerney (PC-Saint John City).
The Saint John barrister, who sits on the government side of the House, spoke in the throne speech debate.
He called on fellow legislators to "face facts" and said the liquor question was the responsibility of the assembly-not of any group, commission or government.
Mr. Mclnerney said the only way to handle the matter was for the legislature to set up an inves- tigating committiee.
He expressed concern that no
lnister of the crown assumed responsibility for actions of the New Bruntwick liquor control board. Similarly, he said, the gov- ernment as a whole assumed no iesponsibility but seemed to feel that the board operated independ- ently.

"It is sheerest nonsense to stig- gest that an economic pattern ex- isting in a nation of 170,000,000 with a history of development and production going back a good many years, should exist in ident- icnl form in a country of 16,000,000 which is still in the swaddllng clo thes stage of its economic evolu- tion," he declared. "When we took parellel action to restrict consum- er credit. the per capital consum- er debt burden in the United Stat- es was 0235.00 and ours was only 5150.00" he pointed out.
Mr. Todgham described the pre- sent atandard of living on this con- tlnent as "the direct and inevit- able result of the wise and Judic- ious use of consumer credit, part- lcularly as it applies to instal- ment buylng. which we have de- veloped on this continent.

HALIFAX (CP) - Nova Scotia Liberal Leader Henry Hicks says there's no way to give every boy and girl a proper education with- out spendlng more of the tax- payers' cash.
The former premier and educa- tion mlnist.-r told the legislature Thursday, "I'm unwilling to make our people believe we can operate our schools without spending money."
He criticized Progressive Con- servative Premier Robert L. Stan- field for ordering a slowdown in new school construction.
Mr. Hicks, making his first speech in the House as opposition leader. said J! the Liberals had been returned to power last fall the municipalities would now have an additional 81,000,000 to offset increased education costs.
