Premier Matheson Deals

With Opposi

Following is the complete text of the speech delivered at Mon- tague by Premier A. W. Manh- Ieon:

My name sake, Philip Matheson who is a candidate for the Con- servatives in Second Queens ask- ed me some questions in his radio advices last Thursday evening. lie wanted to know wlrv I didn't take a larger delegation to ot- tawa at the last Conference. lines he really wants to know I willtellhirnwhy. Itwasonly an Iguida conference. I took all the advisers I needed. 1 thereby sav- ed the province money, Why 08'” mane opponents of ours get to- gether and decide what they want? one time it is a Llberalvjoy riding to Ottawa. The next time it is where were the others who ebould have-been there. I want to assure the voters of this PF0l'i"4'9 that I got excellent treatment and ova-y conside ation at the Con- ference. Even his own much ff vend Premier Frost congratulat- ..1 mg on my presentation of Prince Edward Island's claim.

I must tell you that the Govern- ment of Canada was rePl'e59"l9d by the Prime Minister and five ministers all of whom live in Ot- tawa. Ontario had 11 ministers and ill civil servants and advis- ars. New Brunswick 4 ministers and 4 advisers. Quebec had 5 all- together. Saskaicheivan had 2 ministers and one adviser. Al- berta two ministers and no ad-

present government since we took office two years ago I want to as- sure Philip and his gang that they will not make me lose my temper. I am not in the habit of doing this. Surely he doesn't think the people of the province will pay much attention to such II argu- merit.

LOT! OF HARD WORK

In a recent speech on of our opponents was rash enough to sug t that our proposed indus- tries for farming and flslung de- velopment came about because of people coming here and offering their services to us. Can you, the electors. trust your Government to a group whose thinking in on such a low plane? I want to as- sure all of you that it took much planning and a lot of hard work to persuade those who are now interested to come here, at all. This policy is in die formation stage. If you elect our Conserva- tive friends and expect them to carry out the policies which we have started. I fear for the future. They must have more mature ideas than they presently display. I want to assure you that these plums do not grow on trees for the thoughtless to grab at their convenience. It takes time. it takes thought and it takes careful planning. You must be the judges on May 25. Vote Liberal and be sure to keep going ahead.

serianl and Dclaniullb such as I h i s are a forceful reminder. Whatever may be the result on

there is not in this Province a healthy interest in political ac- iivity.

"Perhapsithere h a ve been things said by both parties in the heat of battle which might have been better unsaid. But it is surely better to enjoy this freedom of give and take-with its occasional and unintended in- jury to some - than it is to sacrifice in any way the right of all to be heard without hindrance or fear. ' '

"I am sure that we are divided now into two opposing camps only to make OIl' unity greater for the months and years ahead in the life of the next government, be it Conservative or Liberal. Once the votes are counted, we shall all close ranks again and go on doing our best as neigh- bors. and friends to make this grand Province of ours a more progressive. prosperous and happier land.

OTTAWA (CPI-Transport Min. ister Marler said Monday the fed- eral government has no intention of seeking "broad powers" for the CNR to operate trucking and auto- hua services and plans to remove from a draft bill provisions that girtgised private highway transport a.

He gave this assurance in ex- plaining to the Commons a bill whose primary purpose ie to con- solidate into one statute a large t of enactments relating to the publicly-owned company. Opposition Leader George Drew said the proposed changes are not enough. Anything short of caning another federal-provincial confer- ence of transport minister. would be "dishonorable."

call a Roman Catholic "trend to exalt the figure of the Virgin Mother."

The 167th General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America approv- ed the women-preachers proposal by a standing vote. The prepond- erance in favor appeared about three or four to one. The proposal how goes to the church's 256 Pres- byteries for a final vote.

The statement critical of the Catholics prepared by the Preszy- terians' permanent commission on

inlerchurch relations said in part: ed

"The festival in honor of the Virgin Mary. which marked the Marian Year of 1954. set in bold relief the status now accorded to the Mother of Our Lord in Roman Commu Ru. In the celebration of that year the progressive trend to exalt the figure of the Virgin Mother to the office of associate partner in the work of redemption reached its culminating point; Mary of Nazareth has become co-I redemptrix with her Son. . . .

"In the figure of the Virgin the Church of Rome has created a semi-divine female being who be-I comes virtual head of the church . . . . non - Roman Christians . . . . deny that the church has any au- thority to create a theology which has no 'oundation In Holy Scrip- ture. . .The glory of Christ's headship in his church is both tar- nished and challenged by the new status accorded to the Virgin."

ing the bill following protests from some transport firms he felt some provisions might lead to at inter- pret 'ion that the government in- tends to give the CNR "very broad powers . . . in highway li'all'-lI')Ol'Ill- tion when such is not the case." Mr. Marler said the no Vern-

ment's intention is to put the CM!

on an equal competitive , ..ntlng with other , companies. When the CNR proposed to

abandon a short line. and was re- quired to put in alternative bus or truck transport. it wanted to be in a position to provide that service.

The provisions that aroused pro-' fest listed a number mzp, glib. aidiariea, including the Canadian National Transportation Ltd., 8l1il stated these could operate serv-' ices to "the general advantage of Canada. The list will be deleted, Mr. Marler said.

N0 LIMITATION

Mr. Drew said Mr. Marler's words did not deal with the section of the bill that had caused the ap- prehenslon.

That section said the CM! could operate vehicles in conjunction with. or substitution for the rail services . . . and maintain and operate motor vehicles of all kinds . . . on highways in Canada or elsewhere for the carriage of traf- fice and may charge tolls there- fore."

The section pieced "no limita- tion on the power of the CNR to enter into that field."

Ph.D.. Present for the occasion were Premler A. W. Matheson and Coun. A. Walthen Gaudet, repre senting the Mayor of Charlotte- town. both of whom spoke briefly. Other distinguished guests on the platform were l-Ion. Kier Clark, Minister "of Education, Dr. Frank MacKinnon. principal of Prince, of Wales College and Dr. W. .l. P MacMillan.

The Valedictory address was given by Richard Wedge of Sum- merside. He made reference to the many friendships acquired during the University term and paid warm tribute to the par- ents. guardians. relatives. bene- factors and friends who had made the realization of a dream come true. Mr. Wedge who was one at the University's foremost de- baters made a masterful deli- very which will livc long in the memory of his fellow students.

The Rector extended a hearty welcome to His Excellency, at the same time noting that his comin was preceeded by an event which brought grief to the Diocese in the death of Bishop James Boyle.

The Rector stressed the import- ance of providing additional fin- ancial assistance, pointing out that the population of Canada is increasing and there seems to be a greater tendency among stu- dents to desire a higher educa- tion. Using as a comparison, the amount required to keep the aver- age t in college 67-ill to that needed to keep a convict in penitentary (81,667) per year. he said. "At least there seems to be no money wasted on educa- tion and it is well for us to rea- lize that we may all be called on to make some sacrifice to this over this impending crisis." "we present today 32 candid- ates for degrees. 25 in Arts. three in Science and four in Com- merce. Two others of the Class have gone to Quebec to write fin- al examinatiuu at Laval” con- tinued Rev.
