A cooperative effort on the
rt of all citizens to promote me tourist industry in the Pro. vince was urged by Hon. E. P. Foley speaking on the Draft Ad- dress yesterday.
' i “The Lord has given us a nice province and its up to us to do the rest”, said Mr. Foley, “We must make our visitors happy mid be better boos-ters of the in- dustry-"
He told of a couple who visit- ed the Island last summer and
o upon inquiry from one of the citizens were told “there was nothing to see here”. Later when the same couple arrived in Hali- fax they were told about the Is- land’s National Park and were disappointed they did not visit it while here.
The Summerside in e m b e 1- agreed with his colleagues th-at better swimming facilities should be available in the western capi- tal. He deplored the lack of sea- food served to tourists during their visits, observing that in some instances, this was the main reason for a visit to the Province.
‘A HOME MARKET
He referred to the tourist in- dustry as “money atyour door”. Hesaid you don’t have to ship it away, the‘ people come for it. Mr. Foley said the number of trader vacationers was increas- ing each year and felt that ad- ditional camping space should be provided for these people.
Turning to agriculture, Mr. Foley said many people would try to make one believe that the

dairy cow still ranked tops.
Mr. Foley said there was little trouble with labor or labor un- ions on the Island. The big trouble, he said, was to find jobs forall the people looking for them. .
Speaking of unions in general, be felt that many had gone to
far with their demands. “Man-
agement has learned the hard way, but union=s have to learn thartthe power which they have gained does not mean that they are to be dictators,” he.s~aid.
He cited an instance of a un- ion in British Columbia which called a strike for» higher pay even when the company was showing a 43 per cent reduction in’ profits.
Speaking of trade, Mr. Foley said th-at in spite of the trade delegations which visited Britain
. and those which returned here,
Can-ad'a‘s‘Irade with the United Kingdom is still down to what it was last year.
TRADE POLICIES
P.M. Promises
YARMOUTH, N. S. (CP)—- Prime Minister Diefenhaker Tues- day promised federal price sup- ports under fish and a fiirm stand on protection of Canadian in- shore fisheries against foreign trawlers.
Angling for votes in this fishing area—one of two Nova Scotia con- stituencies retained by Liberals in
‘ last year’s election — the Pro.-

“We want to do that if you want it.” he told an afternoon audience 0f 1.500 that jammed a theatre in this town of 10,000 population.
CRITICIZES PEARSON ST-AND
Dierfen-baker s-poke ‘sarcas- Iically of a speech given here two Weeks ago by Liberal Leader Les- ter B. Pearson, and touched on an issue that Mr. Pearson dealt W_ith: the situation whereby for- eign tnawlers can fish up to the llresently-recognized three - mile
it on territorial waters while Canadian deep-sea ‘fishing boats ere required to stay 12 miles off- shore.
He said Mr. Pearson had prom- Ised to press for a 12-mile limit of territorial waters even if Brit- ill! and the United "States di-dn’t

Support In N.S. Speech
From here he flew to Moncton, in Westmorland riding where Lib- eral Henry Mucrphy held a 3,395- vote edge last year.
Here Mr. Diefenbaker said the Liberals are trying “to plant fear in your hearts” about future mar- kets for fish in the U.S.
“They don’t say you Will—they say you may lose the markets. How many times, when the Lib- erals were in power, did you find U.S. import quotas placed on fish and fish products.”
On the question of foreign fish-I
ing boats operating inside the 12- mile line which is drawn for Canadian deep - sea fishermen, Mr. Diefenibaiker referred to a newspaper editorial which sug- tested that Canadian boats should be allowed inside the 12-mile line.
He expressed no opinion on the edi‘.~'*i~al, but said:
“This government has not been afraid to stand up for Canadian rights and intends to do so.”
“DISCOVERED” MARITIMES
He referred to a P‘I'0m-159 by Mr. Pearson that a Liberal g0V- ernment would set up a 1111311 Of loans to fishermen.
“Why didn’t they do that when they were in power? Whendid they discover the Maritimes? John Cabot succeeded in 1497. The Liberal party found it after June 10, 1957.”
The tight money policy of the former Liberal government had made it impossible for fishermen to obtain loans.
Mr. Diefenbaker jibed at J. Pickersgill, former Liberal immi- gration minister and one of the Liberal party’s main campaign- ers in the Atlantic provinces.
He said thatif Yarmouth.h.asn’t been visited yet by Mr. Pickers; gill” you ought to invite him up.’
“Mr. Pic-kersgill said we were raising old age pensions too high. He said that if we raised pen- sions some pensioners would be receiving more th-an some who worked. ' ’
“That’s one of the silliest stor- ies——almost ,the Pickcrsilliest— that could have been made any- where.” , .
He wound up by appealing to Voters in the riding, where elec- tion results will be known next Monday night sooner than 111‘.

“pretty sore about” Canada’s at- titude during the pa.st year. He referred to a speech made by the American Ambassador to
Canada in which he explained .
that although considerable Am- erican capital was invested in this country, this capital was sol- icited by Canadians. “If Canada is buying more in the United States than U. S. is in Canada,‘ it is not the States’ fault”, he said.
;Unemployment Insurance for fishermen, Mr. Foley said, was one of the measures the Conser- vatives were claiming creditfor. He.felt the time was now ripe for farmers to receive such bene- fits. He said some fishermen were making as high as $10,000 a year. One drawback in giving the benefit to farm labour was forseen by Mr. Foley. He thought some of the hired help might re- fuse to work during the winter months so long as they'could re- ceive the U.I.C. benefits.
DRUG PRICES
Hon.‘ Mr. Foley who is a drug- gist by profession had a word to say about the price of drugs. He said complaints were heard from time to time, regarding the high
price of some of the newer drugs.-
He explained that considerable research is required to put a new drug -on ‘the market but after the company regains the money spent on research, the price invariably comes down. As an example he referred to peni- cillin which he said was only one tenth of its original cost. -

Dulles Says U.S. CouIcI Lose‘ ShirtAl Summit Conference
WASHINGTON (AP) — - The United States would-lose its shirt, State Secretary Dulles said Tues- day, if it went to a summit meet- ing on the latest Russian terms.
He declared the meeting would become “something much worse than a spectacle” and that the U.S. government would never pay this “terribly high price.”
At the same time Dulles kept the door open for further prepara- tory talks. ’ RIDICULES NEW NOTE
Addressing a press conference, Dulles denounced and ridiculed a note Moscow sent Monday. The note renewed the Soviet proposal for an immediate h-eads-of-gov- ernment meeting without waiting for lower - level egotiations to ease existing prob ems. -
The Soviet note rejected a U.S. demand that German unification
and conditions in Eastern Europe be discussed at the summit.
Dulles insisted that advance talks through ambassadors or foreign ministers are “an indis- pensable prerequisite’ to any meeting of world. leaders.
“If it is apparent that a ‘sum- mit meeting could only‘ lead to a sharpening of differences, then it is"better not to have one,” he said. ‘
In order to bring both sides closer together, Dulles suggested that Moscow call off its “public note writing” and concentrate on settling differences by confiden- tial diplomatic exchanges.

Juliana at the state banquet paid special tribute to Canada and to General Crerar, wartime commander of the first Caiiadian army which playeda big part in liberating Holland. Carer-ar ‘trav- elled from Canada to be present at the ceremonies.
She said Canada h-as been “par-
ti-c~ula«rly dear” to Netherlanders since the liberation.

NOT MORE THAN
Gov’t To Share Greater Proportio/n OI Cost
I Ask FecIe-raI
’Many problems will have to be ironed out before a hospital insurance plan acceptable to the Province of Prince Edward Is- land becomes an act of the Legislature.
This was the general opinion of a number of members who took partin the discussion of a resolution introduced by Health Minister M. L. Bonnell in the Legislature yesterday.
The resolution regarding hos- pital insurance plan asked for four things: 1_ That mental and tuberculosis patients be included in the scheme; 2. That the Fede- ral Government continue the care" of Indians, Eskimos, sick mariners, War Veterans Allow- ance patients and immigrants; 3. That the Federal Government share the adminislzrative costs‘ as well as depreciation and in- terest charges on capital costs; 4. To allow one hundred percent differential between ward rates and private and semi-private rates,
3-5 MILLION
According to the report of the citizens’ committee on hos- pitalization tabled in the Legis-. lature last week the estimated total cost of the plan to the Pro- vince would be $2,805,279 during 1959 and figuring by the same. formula it would amount to a total of $5,550,689 by l965_
The Minister of Health said it would be ridiculous to leave out any class of citizens from the plan such as T,B. or mental patients. He felt sure that every member‘ of the House would sup- port the resolution and forget party politics for the good of the Province as a whole.
WARM TRIBUTE
He paid warm tribute to the citizens’ committee who prepar- ed "such an excellent report" and noted that all of the recom- mendations contained in the resolution were embodied in

said these have always“5een the responsibility of the Federal Government. He said they were in a much different class than the old age pensioners. “These men fought for their country.” said Dr_ Bonnell, “and most of them have had a hard life in the trenches, etc., and as a consequence were likely to need more hospital care than the average citizen.
Speaking of Indians the Minister noted, that the care of the Indian population has also been the responsibility of the Federal Government. In regard to Eskimos and immigrants, he said there were no Eskimos to be cared for on the Island nor were there many ‘immigrants but the clause was placed in the resolution so that it might help some of the other provinces where these would constitute a problem,
SPECIAL MEETING Dr_ Bonnell told the House
that last fall on his invitation
a meeting of Atlantic Provinces Ministers of Health and their deputies was held at Halifax.
He said there was complete unanimity,/among the Health of- ficials of the four provinces and it was decided that before any- thing realistic could be worked
would be a Dominion-Provincial conference_ V
They therefore ‘phoned the Minister of Health, Hon. Waldo Mon-tieth who told them a full scale conference of the nature suggested would be out of the question at that date but he would be pleased to meet the Atlantic delegation individually.
WENT TO OTTAWA
Following the Minister’: sug- gestion, the four ministers and their-deputies went to Ottawa where they brought to Mr. Mon- teith’s attention many of the problems with which they were confronted, Bonnell said it was difficult to get a clear cut ‘answer from the Federal Minis- ter_
He concluded by saying, “be-
fore we make any constructive plans regarding hospital insur- ance, wc should know where we are going_ We must have certain questions answered, yes or no. For instance what about the Hillslboro General Hospital. Will it come under the plan and numerous other questions.” “It is the uncertainty we are worried about,” said the Minis- ter. “Once we know what we are going to get, whether it be what we are asking for or not, then we can go ‘ahead and set up‘ the legislation”

OWEN SOUND, Ont. (CP)— Lester B. Pearson said Tuesday his proposed tax holiday is “good business and good economics.”
The Liberal leader, st-umping the south shore of Georgian Bay, drew a mid-afterrnoon crowd of more than 700 at city hall as he spoke of his platform and plans and his convictions of a Lib-r" 31 victory March 31.
The afternoon crowd in this city of 17,500 is “an encouraging sign of the vigor in our democracy,” Mr. Pearson said as he asked for support of Liberal c-andidaste Ar- thur Mai-tron in’ Grey North.

Mr. Pearson touched on his $400,000,000 tax-cut plan and said most taxpayers would have a hol- iday firom personal income taxes for six or seven weeks, starting June 1. This was because the plan would be retroactive to Jan. 1.
Then he spoke of his plans for providing farmers with deficiency payments and large-scale credit insurance

The insurance scheme would make sure that no family was crushed by medical and dental expenses. When these expenses reached a certain percentages of the family's income tax the ex- cess cost would be paid by the federal government.

Mr. Pearson noted Prime Min- ister Dicfenlbaker had stated that the unemployment crest had been passed and that the situation would be back to normal-by next June.
Mr. Pearson said he hoped so but no one could be sure. Things could get worse if action was not taken immediately to stimulate the economy. .
A questioner asked whether, it he became prime minister, he would give war pensioners a bet- ter deal. M-r. Pearson replied that he would make no promises that he could not fill but he would look into that aspect and try't_o do what he could to give war pensioners a better deal;
LAUDS ARROW SUCCESS
Mr. Pearson started the day by flying to nearby Wiarton where he spoke to some 300 school chil- dren and then to an overflow crowd of 350 at a noon rally at the town hall.
He t-old the audience of adults and children that he had witnes- sed the first test flight of Can- ada’s CF-105 Arr-ow jet aircraft at Toronto’s Malton airport in the morning. The test delayed the de- parture of his DC-3 chartered plane.
The previous Liberal govern- ment had pondered whether it should proceed with the CF-l()5— a—“very expensive and very ex- perimental” plane—and he was glad to see that the project had succeeded.
From Wiarton, Mr. Pearson mo- tored to 8115 city, stopping on the
