Maritime M.P.'s Denounce Report Of Commission

OTTAWA: (Special) - Prince Ed ward Island is given short ahrift in the report of the Gordon Commission made public here Fri- day. Apparently it is not coupled with Nova Scotia and New Bruns- wick which the report indicates as depressed areas. and even the re- commendation that people whose living standards are low be mov- ed to other parts of Canada does not seem to apply to the Island Province.

Virtually the sole mention of "The Cradle of Confederation in the report is a sentence to the effect that the Province does not feel its ferry facilities are ade- quate and believes a causeway from the Island to the mainland might be as feasible economically as a ferry system.

Speaking in the Commons Fri- day members from the Maritime Provinces were unanimous in de- nouncing the Gordon Commission proposal that Marltlmers in do- pressed areas be given assistance

their families to other parts of Canada They include George Now- lan, Digby-Annapolis Kings, A,w. Stuart. Charlotte, and cum. Glllls, Cape Breton.

BITTER IBONY

Speaking with hitter irony of the Proposal this afternoon. Mr Nowlan. Conservative MP, for Digby- Annap0lis- Kings exclaimed

"Why, they'd treat us as well as the Hungarians" he slammed a copy of the Gordon Commission report violently down on his desk and at one juncture seemed about to hurl it across the aisle at Ll- beral front-benchers.

-Asked if residents of Prince Ed- ward Island were interested in getting "assisted passage" from the Government to other parts of Canada. J. Angus MacLean, Con servatlve MP for Queen's said:

"Definitely not we've had too much of that sort of thing for years. People have been leaving the island on their own and going to Ontario or Western Canada. It

by the government to move with

Province at all."

Mr. MacLean said he was hope- ful that constructive suggestions concerning P.E.I.'s farming pro- blems would come from a-senate committee study of land use.

"Our troubles have not been quite the same as tho of New B. nswick. Quebec. a d Ontario where farms have been abandon- ed because they've been worked out or the soil was not suitable for agriculture in the first place. Our soil is not marginal but the trouble has been that a lot of our farms have simply gone out of production. The soil is too good to be used to grow trees on.

"I know cases where the young- er folk of whole families have left the Island and the head of the family and his wife were too old for active farm work but Just liv- ed on the farm letting things go to seed. This sort of thing is dec- idedly bad for the Province.

"I believe however that a slcua- ation such as this comes within the terms of referene of the sen-

The announcement of the settle- ment came from the prime minis- ter at 5 p.m. EST-nine days and one hour from the time the CPR shutdown began Jan. 2-and fol- lowed three days of meetings be- tween Mr. St. Laurent. company and union officers.
