He said he went over to the House of Commons to hear the debates on hospital insurance and there he heard Dr. Baird, the chief Opposition critic strongly advocating the inclusion to TB and mental care. | Was s‘rongly supporred by Queens | member J. Angus MacLean, Mr. Fleming, now Minister of Finance and Mr. Dinsdale of the P7 Op-

pos’ son. “It was a gamble |I took,” said | the Premier, ‘“‘One I thought I

could not lose—if the government were. returned, I had Mr. Mar- tin’s offer and if the other party got in we had this promise to in- clude TB and mental care. _

“I said I gambled—well I lost

my gamble with the .election of ane 10, 1957,” said .the Pre- mier.

He went on to tell of a confer- ence he attended in the fall of 1957 and at that time Mr. Flem- ister of Finance

would have to deduct such an amount from whatever grants they were nowr eceiving from the federal treasury. “‘That is what Mr. Fleming had to offer us.

Mr. Matheson dealt at some

length to newspaper comment — had been made regarding

the plan. Some of these were cri

tical while others highly compli- mented the government. » Mr. Matheson predic‘ed some ‘mess in the plan. Oné of these

tributions would not come in so freely from the gotte as they did before.

He expressed the belief that every “hospital on the sland now has a bonded debt in addiiion to heavy depreciation costs. EVERYONE INCLUDED

Camparing costs with existing Blue Cross rates, ime Premicr noted that a number of peovle had expressed surprise that the government plan was not:cheaper than it wa’?

He explained that, Blue Cross coverage was for a preferred risk class while’ the. government scheme included all classes from the cradle to the guave wi'fi no waiting period or exemptions be- cause of certain previous iliness- es.

Referring to Premier Frost's presentation to the government in which the Ontario Premier asked for - $100,000,000, Mr. Matheson s?id, “If Premier Frost wes sre of getting the $100 million he wouldn’t be financing theplan by

: “And if we had gotten five’ mil- | lion instead of’ two and a half we | would be using a) sales tax me- | thod also;”’ he said.

Continuing the Premier said, “This tax ‘sharing agreement with the Federal Government is only for four years and if they do not renew i at the end of that time,, we will have to put on a sales tax.” —

+ EARLY PAYMENTS

Dr. Bonnell said he would like to clarify a statement he had made during the first part of the debate. He said at that time, there would be no waiting period. He stated there were reservat- ions to this statement.

He explained that the mac- hinery to receive premiums would be ready to operate in July or early August and any- tone who had their premium |

On the other hand if pe ‘prem- jums were not paid until after Oct. 1 there would be a three month waiting period _ before coverage would become effect- ive..

The prime minister's speech was largely a recapitulation of his previous addresses to the Commons during debate on the} - Arrow cancellation.

“I ask the simple question— should we go on spending your mon¢y as taxpayers to produce the Arrow, which is an attractive aircraft of fine workmanship and design, but which would be out of
