~ Foreign Control _ Danger Stressed

The bill, described by the jus- tice minister as “extremely important,’ was later given second reading — approval in principle.

Alexis Caron (L—Hull) de- lored an indication by Mr. Ful- ton that the legislation will not be studied by the Commons’ standing committee on indus- trial relations.

MPs were being denied a chance to get the reaction of outsiders, including labor and business representatives.

‘NOT ANTI-AMERICAN’

In his keynote speech on the long- heralded bill, Mr. Fulton said it is “not a fanifestation of any narrow nationalism, nor is it anti-American.”

“It represents the determina- tion of the government to un- derstand fully fhe operation of our economy, the extent of oes control of various units

perating within the economy por the effects of that control; and our desire to see that the Canadian people are made awar in general terms, of these facts and their implica- tions.”

Canada, he said, needs for- eign capital and will continue to welcome it “as long as its acti- vities in Canada are compatible with Canada’s national inter-

est. Mr. Fulton said total non- resident investment in pico as of 1959 was $20,700 In December, 1957-ences ve recent date for which figures were available—56 per cent of Canadian manufacturing indus- try was under non-resident con-

_-aebtoly as. was.76 per cent of Can-

ada’s petroleum and natural gas industry, and 61 per cent of its mining and oenetting in- dustry.

NEEDS ACCESS

“Obviously, any sovereigh na- tion must have access to fin- ancial information on the opera- tions of industry within its bor- ers

Similar considerations applied to unions. “In a sovereign na- tion it is only to be expected that foreign-controlled labor or- ganizations should divulge gen- eral information on their affairs in this country.”

The. bill makes no differentia- tion between Canada and for- - controlled corporations and labor unions.

Prorogation Aim Remains For Thursday

Premier Walter Shaw was still hopeful last night that it will be possible to close the cur- rent session of the Legislature by Thursday alhough there were signs that this might be dif- ficult to accomplish.

At least five members have yet to speak on the budget, one source stated; the report of the standing committee on fisheries is still to be discussed, an a number of bills still have to re- ceive second reading

The house spent the entire night session Monday discussing the report of the standing com- mittee on health.

Survey Carried Out By Highways Minister

Work is to start immediately or the restoration of links in the province’s highway system, severed during the weekend by heavy runoff caused Oy al tial rains and melting s:

Highways Minister 7. "Philip Matheson said last night that it is “too early to say when the links will be restored but work will commence immediately.”

Summerside contracting firm has been hired by the de- partment to assist in restoration of the bridge over Dunk River at Ross’ Corner. Mr. Matheson said that the firm had moved equip- ment to the area yesterday and supporting piles will have to be replaced

According to Mr. the breaks at St.

Matheson, Peter’s and

| Bridgetown, where bridges had

been w: s throw

out, ‘‘are too big to something temporary and will need replace- ments of a permanent nature.

STEEL IN STOCK

Wherever possible, the de- partment will use materials from stock to effect repairs.

“We ve a_ considerable amount Sal Steel in stock,’ he d have engaged the

en me a consultant from Robb Engineering in Amherst so

that there will be no unnecessary

delays in fabricating steel.”

Mr. Matheson said that he

does not know how extensive the work in restoring highway com- munication will be. “ e of the work will be of a temporary nature,”’ he said, ‘“‘and where possible it will be permanent. We are going to try to start simultaneous repairs on all bro- ken links and some are going to more difficult than others.” The minister said that he had spent most of Monday assessing the highway damage. ‘There are six major breaks,’ he said, “with numerous smaller bridges and culverts out.’

MAJOR BREAKS

He listed the major breaks as two bridges at Ross’ Corner and breaks at St. Peter’s, Bridge- town, Ross Mills, and a culvert at Old Burnt Bridge on the edge of Montague.

Mr. Matheson said he was “alarmed’’ at the weakening of road beds by excess water. “I am afraid,”’ he said, ‘‘that we will have more pavement break- age—the situation has deterior- ated very much since the storm, particularly the older pavements wihch are not well drained.”

The highways department, said, is trying to mark all ported washouts with signs.

The minister said that a fresh look will be taken at the whole situation this morning and de cisions made on types of repairs to be effected.
