Was Oongratulated By Liberal Organ

orfitwa. Nov. 2s —(Speclsl) — With too little time left prior to the rising of the House to speak at length on the trans-Canada high- way bill, W. Chester S. McLure. Progressive Conservative member for Queen's told the Commons to- night how ho hmd received a letter of congratulations from the Liberal

Advocate on his re-electlon ins‘. June. At. the some time, Mr. Mobum

urged that when n minister of the Crown comes to o constituency such as Queen's, he should permit the elected representatives of the riding to attend at least some con- ferences on matters of public inter- est. He lndlcatedthat he had been ignored when Federal ministers came to Charlottetown to sec for themselves some projects in course of completion or in course of planning.

Mr. Mcliuro then quoted from the letter from the editor of the Libersl Advocate which reads in part:

"Dear Mr. McLurc-Pleasc let me first-and tthen on behalf of those associated with me on the staff of the Liberal Advocate, convey heart- lest congratulations on your per- sonal triumph at the polls on June

71.

"Liberalism has won a greet vic- tory over the forces of reaction and socialism, so as an elected mrtmber of the twenty-first Parliament, we look to you to see that the interests of the common mall are maintained in a true Liberal way."

The Queen's member hopes to present Prince Edward Islands out- look on the Trans-Canada highway before the Chamber at the next sitting of the House. l-le was forced to delay on account of the rentals debate which was fixed for this evening.

lied Army Only 20 Miles From Chungltill

CHUNGKI-NG, Nov. 28 — (A?) —Decperate Chinese Nationalist defenders today checked the Red rush on this chaotic capital less than 20 miles from Chungklng‘: gates, the Government asserted.

The reprieve will give the few top officials still In Chungkinl time to fly tomorrow to Cllenglu. That city, 1'70 miles to the north- west, will be the Government's next stopping place.

As fair as is known. Generalis- simo Chiang Kai-Shel: still is here directing the city's defences. Planes wait at the airport to take him and other leaders away.

High quarters predicted Chitin-g would resume the presidency in Nationalist China's bleak hour should acting president Ll Tsung- Jen refuse to return. LI has split with Chiang.

Confusion spread through this wartime capital at the news the Communists were near. Roads were black with refugees fleeing

the city. Home were crammed Into buses and trucks. Others walked.

Mort shops were boarded. Own- ers feared looting by civilian mobs or by Nationalist troops. Soldiers moved in and out of the cily. There was a crush of mil- ltriry traffic in the streets.

Some of the soldiers still were In summer uniforms. Some were barefoot.

Grants from the Dominion and Provincial governments may be- come available for a building pro- gram at the Provincial Exhibition Grounds. Mr. H. J. Kennedy, pre- Sldem. told The Guardian on his Fmilfn lest evening from the an. nualmeettng of the Canadian Ex- hibition Association at Toronto.

“I believe some fairs have par- ticipated in such a scheme in the past two or three years but this is the first indication for this Province that such s plan exists 8d." said Mr. Kennedy. He ex. Dlziincd that building costs would be 59"“! by the Dominion and Provincial governments and the local Exhibition Association In three equal parts "for Class ‘A’ agricultural shows."

MP- Kennedy stated tan a lot of the stables and horse stalls here were 60 years old and be- Ylmd TPDaIr. He hoped these vrotlld be replaced under this scheme. '

Before Grandstand

Next year, all cattle and horns will be featured before the grand- stand one night and it is the in- tentlon that all horses will be shown before the grandstand, Mr. Kennedy revealed.

"When John Kennedy, Ontario Minister of Agriculture introduced "Mike" Pearson. Minister of Ex- ternal Affahc. before 2,000 peo- ple at the annual banquet. he singled out the Mari-times for a very great compliment," Mr. Ken- nedy continued. “He advised “Very one of them to visit the Mflritimeo. as he had done last su-mrner, where the hospitality was unequalled in any gar-t of Canada or the United States."

At The Royal

Mr. Kennedy II vary enthusias- tic towards the showing o} Island agricultural exhibits at the Royal Winter Fair next year. "I am con- fident that. had thero been Is- land entries this year, in the four dairy breeds, some of them would have topped their classes against the best the "Royal" could ofler." he said.

“Not only would this be a great achievement for our breeders, but they would also be in the high- priced markets for Canadian dairy stockin foreign countries. A Hol- stein bull sold to n foreign coun- iry from the fair for $20,000. There were many buyers there looking for high-priced stock.”

Mr. Kennedy hoped s carlond esch of the four dairy breeds will be sent up next year, together with swine, poultry and potatoes. "We have all these on the Island as good as anywhere in Canada," he said.

“I think it would be a very pop- uiar move if the Provincial Gov- ernment‘ would introduce a policy to assist in freight and other In- cidental expenses to enable Is- land farmers to show at Toronto," he said. "We couldn't afford b0 go otherwise. This ls the but and cheapest advertising Island agricultural products can get. They think we're only horse racing fans down here."

He thought that some of the Western Provinces followed this policy as there were a number of western herds Shown.

Automotive Ass'n Opposes Federal Highwaylonlrol

OTTAWA. Nov. I —(OP) — Truck and railway spokaqnsn stag- ed a. long series of wrangles fnday before tho Royal Commission on Transportation.

In a major head-on clash between the opposing interests, the board heard sharply-conflicting views on regulation of trucking and other points at. issue between the two forms of transportation.

Keencst controversy developed while John Magee of Toronto, exe- cutive secretary of the Canadian Automotive Transportation Associ- ation. was tinder cross-examination by Ian Sinclair, Canadian Pacific Railway counsel.

Mr. Magec had presented s brief lust wcck rejecting railway argu- mt-ttts that tnicks constituted un- fltlr competition to the railways be- cause they were "subsidised" by not paying their fair share of highway costs.

'i‘t.;i_1v, Mr. Sinclair gdvancedthpt contention again, and MI’. Magoo again declared the truckers paid their fair share. He sold Provincial Governments must consider they did. 0r they would be taxed more.

Mr. Sinclair contended another form of "unfair" competition was in the fact that trucking compan- ies could discontinue services that did not pay their WI-Y-

Contenciing many private truck- er, "flout" provincinl statutos, Mr. Sinclair asked if the only wnv w avoid such breaches would not be through a central body when "pol- iticnl prt-sstire" would not have much effect.

Mr. Msgee retorted that he hoped Mr. Sinclair did not mean the Board of Transport Commissioners. regulatory body of the rsilwlyi- was immune from politics! influ-

ce. en"Wo wouldn't want to be under Federal comrol." he sold. "Phat would be the beginning of the end for us."

Earlier, m. Mme Md told Hum O'Donnell. Carmiian National Roll- ways counsel. that the truckers were opposed to Federal regulation of any kind.

That would apply not only to trucking within Provincial bound- aries, but as well to Intel-provincial and intcmatlonal tnickinl-

Other guests included the Hon. J. Wilfrid Arsenault, Provincial Secretary, formerly of the staff of

Prince of Wales; Dr. L. W. Shaw. Superintendent of Education; Mrs. J. Walter Jones, Mrs. Frederic Largo, Dr. J. H. Blanchard anti Mrs. Blanchard, and the Rector of St. Dunstan‘: University, Dr. R. V. MncKenzie who said gracn bc- fore dinner.

Dr. Steel first taught in New

txol. It claims like Fiedersl Govern- ment has power to do this; the truckers‘ organization denies it has.

Brunswick and then in 1009 after completing his Master of Arts de- gree nt Harvard joined the Eng- lish department at Prince of Wales College. His keen interest in the teaching of English and his kcener interest lri his many students throughout the years did not go unnoticed for he was honored by his Alma Mater, Mount Allison with the honorary degree of Doc- tor of Letters. He served as vice- principal and principal of Prince of Wales College. As well as be- ing active in the educational af- fairs of Prince Edward Island, Dr. Steel has gained the admiration and respect of Dalhousie, Mount Allison, Acadia and many other Maritime universities through his willingness to tackle and help solve problems of study and cur- riculum. He has for many years served as representative on the Common Examining Board of the Maritime Provinces nnd in recent years was made a member of the C.B.C, Board of Governors,

Text of Address

Following is the text of the address which was beautifully illuminated by Miss Eleanor Lowe, head of the College Art depart- ment:

"Your colleagues and friends of Prince of Wales College meet at this time with mingled feelings of regret and pleasure to honour you on retirement as principal. We m. gret that the end of your teaching career severs the day-to-day assoc- iations which we have long en- joyed with you, yet we are glad of the opportunity of Indicating the respect and affection in which you are held by us all.

“Prince of Wales College ha; had a long history of enterprise and achievement of the highest quality, and her reputation in the academic world has more than justified the efforts of those who, through suc- cessive generations, have laboured to build a great tradition. Your contribution has been long, faith- ful, and distinguished service as teacher of English. as vice-prin- cipal, and as principal: and we have witnessed the value of this service to those who have worked with and studied under you. Your part in shaping the characters and careers of individual ltudents has also been great, and we are lure that many of our alumni join us in our tribute. ‘Your devotion in the cause of education n1 Prince Edward Island for forty years 1| a magnificent endowment o! the fu- ture of the college and of the Province.

“Your retirement does not take you from Charlottetown, and we look forward to long years of os- sociation and friendship with you in the life of the community. We join in extending to you and Mrs. Steel very cordial good wishes for health and happiness in the fu-

ment billl auncd at encouraging shipbuilding in Canadian yards by casing depreciation write-off re- gulations for ship opcratols. Agriculture Minister Gardin- er said food-contract negotia- tions with the United King- dom stiil are going on and the

Government ‘is hopeful that

satisfactory arrangements can

be reached."

Mr. Gardiner also said every effort ls being made to see that sufficient Western. Canada feed grain is made available for far- mers in Eastern Canada.

In the main debate, Mr. Win.- ters said that the trans-Canada highway proposals put forward by the Federal Government "were well received by the Provinces.”

The Provinces would select the

route and arrange for execution of the work except in national parks. The highway would re- main the "property and responsi- bility of the Provinces." The Provinces would bear "all ordinary maintenance costs." Ten- ders and specifications for con- tracts in the building "would be subject to review by the Federal Government." Ottawa also would have the right to inspect the road and audit the costs.

N. B. Correspondence

Claric Gillis (CCF-Cape Breton South) said the move has been a long time coming but he didtn‘t see how any Nova Scotian mem- bcr could approve It until the position of his Provincial Govern- mvnt is made known.

Ho could not understand why Premier Mactionald insisted thnt his correspondence with Mr. Win- ters should be secret. If the pro- vincial proposals were reason- able. his stand was hard to fathom. Nor was there any reason why the Federal Government should take the position that it cnn‘t re- lease the correspondence from all Provinces. There were precedents for this. Mr. Winters was not to blame personally. Ht- only took orders hut no Nova Scoiia mt-m- ber should sanction the bill until that correspondence was made public.

Premier Macdonnld hsd no right to deny Nova Scotia members tho privilege of knovfiviz what thcir Provincial Government thinks about such l project. He personally would oppose it until he knew the details of what it involved for his Province.

Mr. McLuro

W. Chester S. McLure (P% Queens). ssld Mr. Winters should be gratified at the general accept- ance accorded the measure. He thought that when confer-uncles were held by Government officials in outlying areas on the highway subject the elected representatives of the people should Sometimes be called in.

Gordon Isnor (b-Hallfax) said the Federal Government was offer- lng to spend dollar-for-dollsr with the Provinces. At, the end of seven years, the whole project would be-
