By DON MACLEOD I Guardian-Patriot Staff Writer 7 “The treatment P r i nc e E ward Island has received from the federal government in the past few years is certain to en- ter the election campaign in this province," Heath MacQuar- rie. Conservative candidate for Queens County. said in an inter- vzew last night.

"I think it is only right." he went on. “that the Conservative candidates justify what they have been trying to do for this province."

tant phase of the campaign will be “the people of Canada taking a good look at Parliament to see how it functioned under a min- ority government. I believe they are going to vote an end to the confused situation of the last Parliament. They want a gov- ernment able to carry on and not one in the position where it can be brought down suddenly as were the Progressive Conser- ratives.

“I believe the best course for stability is to elect at least 16 more Conservatives which would put us in a position to finish our program."

Asked what he thought some of the major national issues will be. Mr. Macquarrie said, “it has been the case in this country and in other countries within the period of a campaign that those that start out as burning issues

“I am not sure that the nu- clear issue is going to be the major issue as the lines between the parties are not so clear and it ' tremendously difficult technological question on which it is extremely hard to be dog- matic."

Mr. Macquarrie said it is hard to see why the question of Can- ada acquiring nuclear arms is “so much more vital now than t was. say. a month ago. think it is reasonable that the discussion now going on between Canadian and American author- iities be continued and when rep- resentatives of the North Atlan- tic Treaty Organization meet in

“Also, with international dis- cussions underway on the poss- ibility of arriving at a treaty banning nuclear testing. I c as see value in our not joining the nuclear club while there is this reasonably hopeful situation. N0 DEFAULT

Guardian-Patriot Staff Writer

A review of the newly-complet- ed Charlottetown housing and planning report, with special em- phasis on the relationship be- tween housing and planning, was presented by provincial town planner. Waiter deSilva last night at a meeting of the Char- lottetowu Board of Trade. Mr. deSilva was part of s our-member panel which dis- cussed several aspects of the housing report. Other panellists were Mayor Walthen Gaudet.

alter Cox. chairman of the city council‘s town planning com- mittee: and Lt.-Col. Frank Stor- ey. former chairman of the com-

ittee

Mr. deSilva emphasized the necessity of combining housing and planning in such a study; through a combination of the two in his report. a groundwork of planning can be established, and cost of the plan to the city has been less than two and one- half cents per individual.

RANGE

He expressed the hope that citizens would take immediate action to carry out a program of slum clearance and public hous- ing. "It would be appropriate if the city council w0uld make an application to the federal min‘ later through the provincial gov- ernment for slum clearance and redevelopment of the three areas recommended in this report." he said. Mr. deSilva stated that, while

Mr. Cox. who stressed the need for long-range planning, said town planning was not just for today, but for the next 25 to 50 years.

“We must have expropriation powers if we are going into plan- ning." he stated, adding that improvements in the parking sit- uation was one area where ex— propriation would be necessary. The fourth panel member. Col. Storey. commended Mr. deSilva

In a question and answer per- iod following the discussion. Mayor Gaudet sharply criticized
