OTTAWA. March s-(Clfi-E. D Fulton (PC-Knmloops) caddy ugg. ed the Government to make |. ""8113. courageous" statement. on filmed" torsion policy in the light of events which have taken 911g in Europe.

ntinuiflfl the Throne Spoor: debate which is expected to con}: clude tomorrow in the Commons. the 31-year-old lawyer said our. rent events in Europe seemed to Darellei whet took place between 1935 and 1969.

Cmedo EPDtm-ed u. have ec- Wpted what was going on in litur- ope. Other countries had issued Biff-DIE statements leaving no doub‘. n to where they stood and whet they thought. But the Canadian Government had made no state- ment. -

Mr. Fulton referred to the resig-

nation of Dr. Pruntisek Nemec, Czechoslovakian Minister to Cnn-. ada. and- said it was in protest against Communist action in Czechoslovakia. He was sure it was s ‘tprooer and courageous ges- ture," and he believed the Cana- difln people would appreciate a courageous response in the way of a frank statement on Cenedss foreign policy. Ile regreetted. that Canada had withdrawn he: occupation troops from Germany where they would have hsd a window pane through which to look at Europeen de- vclopments.

Mr. Fulson said one of the reo- sons for the Second World Wu was the unwillingness of coun- tries to state their stand on events which occurred during 1905 and 1930.

Touchi _ on domestic matters. Mr. Fulton called for construction of a trans-Canada highway and for extension of the Prairie Farm Rehabilitation Act to Britiuh Co- lumbia. '

Other speakers in the debate included Dr. T. V. Grant (L- Kingb); If. G. McCullough (COF- Asslniboie), Jean Francois Pou- liot (Ind L-Temilcouata) and C. T. Swphenaon (PC-Durnham)

Liberal member for King's. called on ‘transport Min. inter Chovrier to put into winter service on the Georgetown-Fiction route. one of the ferry boat: vmlch remain idle et Borden during the winter montha

“A largely signed petition has been presented to the Minister of Transport asking for this lsrvice." Dr. Grant esid. The Boerd of Trade has also asked for it and I trust that the Minister will ac- cede to that request.”

The member for King's also ap- pealed to the Government. to abolish the sales tax which he "W191i. "that Tory sale: tux." It should be abolished. Dr. Grant said, and he hoped that it would be abolished this year.

‘Then there is s luxury tax of 35 per cent on refrigerators and other household goods," he con- tinued. “These taxes should be taken off to give the people a chance to live. Prices are so high at the present time that the Gov- ernment hss started an investiga- tion into the cause, and the com- mittee is now looking into that matter. Why not reduce or abolish some of these taxes that perhaps we can get along without.“

Attacking the epceoh made in the House a few days ago by W. Chester S. McLure. Progressive Conservative member for Queen's, Dr. Grunt charged that Mr. Mc- Lure had tried "to belittle the Federal Government but in doing so had belittled his own Province.” l-Ie further charged that under the Conservative administration prior to 1935. mail couriers in Mince Edward Island had not fcred nearly as well as they now do under the Liberal Government.

The employment situation for ‘I948 throughout the Province looks especially good, Mr. J. B. Murley. manager of the National Employment Office, Charlottetown, informed The Guardian yesterday.

At the present time. Mr. Murley said, there are about 950 persons in Queen's and King's Counties drawing unemployment insurance. which figure represents e drop of approximately 100 from the num- ber who were drawlnl such in» surance payments during the win- ter of I947.

Mr. Mturley said s great num- ber of those 950 persons belong to the "seasonal. employment" group. many of which group fol- low the fishing occupation from spring to fall or who work in fish cunnerles. Many of those unem- ployed at present are high class carpenters who have been vented by the unusually severe winter from working on such con- struction Jobs as the Charlotte- town Hospital project.

External Affairs Minister Si... Laurent told the Commons the Quebec dispatch was "so extraord-i lnary in terms and so inaccurate ln its assertions” that he wished to study the situation further. I-Ie "hoped" to make a statement to- mOITOW.

New Mystery

This latest development heaped new mystery on the complicated story or! the treasures, hidden 1n Canada during the war after being sneaked out of‘Poland as Nazi armies oven-an that country in 1939. In November. 1946. they were reported missing from hiding places at the shrine at Ste. Anne de Besupre and the Precious Blood Convent here. _

Dominion Government sources confirmed last night that the Que- bec Government had "impounded" the treasures and intended to keep them “pending decision a: to own- ership."
