quality oysters which the Island can supply has always been great but the Province has never been able to nearly meet this demand.

He recommended assistance for the scientific cultivation and de- velopment of this phase of the fishing industry and continued strict grading for export of all oysters leaving the Province. "We know that it is the bcd from which the oystcr comes that makes it top quality and severe damage could result to the industry from indiscriminate selling," said Mr. Maclsaac.

Tlic Junior member from Char- Iottctowr. made a strong appeal for increased development for the tourist industry, pointing out that during the past season the indus- try had a gross volume of 5,000.- 000 with an overhead of 350,000. "No othcr industry can lay claim to such a large volume at such a low operating cost." he said.

Mr. Maclsaac went on to show that while the tourist industry in itself is important. it has been a wonderful help to agriculture. As an example. he said that of the 500,000 tourists who visited the Province last. year there would normally be one million 500 thousand meals served. A ' that each visitor had one egg per day, in some form or another. this alonc would account for the con- sumptinn of some 42.000 dozen

eggs. He explained that proportion-

ate amounts of other foods would

also be consumed. ADDITIONAL REVENUE

LABOR.

Mr. Maclsaac stated that there

have been cries of uniust legisla- tion and rumours of unfair wage rates from the ranks of labor. lie welcomed the establishment of a Labor Department in the Govern-

ment. visualizing it is an arbitra- tor and stabilizer between labor and management. He expressed the hope that the Labor Depart- ment will endeavour to seek new harmony.

”It has come to realize that management in this Province no longer is of the opinion that trade unions are a menace," said Mr. Maclsaac. ”I would like to recom- mend to the Government that it further consider legislation for the enactmant of a minimum wage Iaw...that law which requires a minimum amount to be paid in various trade. Labor at this point. because it understands the econ- nomy of this Province. does not seek a guaranteed annual wage. However what it does seek and justly deserves. is a guarantee of the right to bargain."

AGRICULTURE

"The successful and complete development of any industry must at all times comply with the mod- ern demands made upon it," con- tinued Mr. Maclsa . This applies to Agriculture as well as to any other-. In the producing and deve- lopment of the finest crops and stocks. and certainly we have made our world mark in this rc- gard, the assistance given by an anxious and willing government for increased production is not suf- ficient. This is after all. only part and not enough to insure a con- tinued success. Modern living. shifts in population and the world industrial boom have changed the mode of living for the bulk of our population and that means changes in end production."

"It is not enough to produce alone." he said. "It is equally as important to market. The days of bulk selling are fast passing."

GEOLOGICAL SURVEY

Mr. Maclsaac referred to the geological survey which he said was being conducted on the Island for the past two and a half years. "The impression was held at one time that Prince Edward Island

It would allow deductibillty against federal taxes of 10 per cent of personal income tax. nine per cent of corporation income and 50 per cent of succession duties in provinces imposing these taxes.

A province could rent any or all of these fields to the federal gov- ernment. The federal - provincial agreements would run five years starting from April 1. 1957, expiry date of the rental pacts.

WILL HELP COLLECTION

Among the modest federal con- cessions set out in Prime Minister St. Laurentls newest letter, the main one in financial terms is a change in the way provincial taxes on insurance company pre- miums would be treated under the federal-provincial corporation tax deductibility setup.

This was estimated unofficially to give the provinces an estimated 315000.000 a year in tax potential above the present arrangement.

He said that many samples have been taken but these have been merely surface takings. No certainties exist that mineral wealth will be discovered. all that has been provcn to date is that the present findings warrant I con- tinuation of this survey.

Among the minerals found were tracings of high quality manga- nese oxlde. A piece of the mineral displayed by the speaker was found in a surface crop of two and a half acres. he said. There are three such known out-crops, one in each county.
