that APEC be asked to inter- vene, Premier Matheson said |that the Maritime Transporta- tion Commission were already working on the matter.

Though unfortunate in its pre- sent effect in this region, thé Wheat Board’s action was simply a move to give the western wheat grower the benefit of the decrease in freight between the Lakehead and the United King dom, Hon. Eugene Cullen noted Otherwise the British customer alone -would benefit.

Copies of the resolution will be forwarded to all Island re- presentatives in the Senate and the House of Commons, _ the Prime Minister, the minister of trade and commerce, and the Premiers of the three other At- lantie Provinces.

Ontario CCF Leader Rebuked

For Comments

TORONTO (CP)—CCF Leader Donald MacDonaki was rebuked Tuesday\ by Premier Frost and the Speaker of the Ontario legis- lature for accusing Premier Jo- seph Smallwood of Newfoundland of totalitarianism.

It came as the House consid- ered a resolution by Liberal Leader John Wintermeyer asking the federal Bovernment be pet- tioned to tefer to the Supreme Court of Canada Newfoundland’s legislation outlawifig the Interna- tional. Woodworkers of America (CLO).

The Speaker, Rev. A. W. Downer, said the resolution “is

improper in that it abuses the privileges of this House by seek- ing to interfere in the internal af- fairs of another jurisdiction.”’ But he said he wouldn't -ule # out of order.

Mr. Wintermeyer said he agreed with the Speaker and sug- gested the ruling be made or the debate be adjourned.

CCF LEADER PROTESTS

CCF Leader MacDonald promptly protested and the Lib- eral leader Saki he was prepared to go anead with debate.

“I don’t want my position to be construed as bowing to pres- sure.”

Mr. Wintermeyer said he intro- duced his resolution because it seemed desirable “‘to test the right of a provincial ,overnment to vitiate a trade union's right to organize, bargain and pursue its legitimate aims under the given laws of a province.”

Mr. MacDonald said Premier Smallwood followed his outlawing of the IWA* establishing a Yov- ernment-sponsored union in its place.

“This is the tried and true pat- tern of totalitarian governments,” he said.

Premier Frost then rose and said: “I don't think this legis- lature should ind “ge in attacks on the head of another govern-

_ | ment.”

“That's way I made my state ment,” said the Speaker.

Debate was adjourned without the resolution coming to a vote.

Causeway ToBe Dropped, Is. Souris Member's View ~

Evidence that the Diefenbaker government intended to renege on its pre-clection promise to build the Northumberland Cause- way appeared to be piling up daily, William Acorn ‘ (L-Ist Kings) said in the Island Legis- lature Tuesday.

Speaking in the budget debate, Mr. Acorn, chairman of the House committee on transport- tation and communication during this session and the session of 1958, made the above observa- tion while elaborating on the first recommendation of a six- point Atlantic development pro- gram he presented to his fellow legislators.

To develop the sagging econo- my 7of the Atlantic Region, and guarantee that the population of this important area might aspire to became something better than *“hewers of wood and drawers of water” for the rest of the nation the member from Souris urged the necessity immediate action in each of the following fields:

struction as soon as possible.

In some respects, the present Ottawa government could be termed “high-class Indian ers’, Mr. Acorn said. They gave the Province $25 million with one hand, and thea, according to a calculation made by the brother of the member from O'Leary (Dr. Dewar), by increasing the freight rates 17 per cent cut off $2,000,000 “at one fell swoop.”
