Lib- .1111 member for Prince and W. master a. rllcnure. Prrogreuive ianservative member for Queens. (Mr. MIL-Nallim W”. W G"”'d' all today without hesitation that jecll Miller. official Liberal cand- " am for the dual riding of Queens xould be elected when ballots are

counted on by-election night.

Mr, Mobure. after analvlinr ngures of past elections, was equally confident of Wing Oom- mmder John Angus McLean's mnirces in the battle of the pools. me Queens member pointed to me vote polled by Mr. Maclrean in .949 compared to the total rack- ... up by Mr. Miller, and said:

-Mr. Mclrean should hIVO In 9!- -eilcnt chance to carry the seat. in 1940 he carried Charlottetown wily but was not quite so strong in the rural districts." I

Mr, McLure salcl circumstances mg the progress of estimates in he House of Commons would de- ..-rmme the part he might take in me Queens campaign. He said he is particularly anxious to remain in Ottawa until the end of the rurrent discussion of national de- icnce estimates.

"According to the record" Mr. !ticLure told the Guardian this If- icl'llO0n. "Defence Minister Glax- loll promised both I naval estab- lishment for Charlottetown and I new Armorles. I intend to do my utmost to see that these are in- -lnzled in the present defence pro- --rmn. Nor is it I question of ask- log the government to spend money in our province.

"we have skilled workmen able m manufacturc- small arms and ammunition. We havel already manufactured naval guns satis- inctorlly and have shown our Ib- illiy to repair small naval craft. I have hopes that the government lllll provide opportunities for our skilled workers to make their con- u-lhutlon to the country's defence pmgl'am."

B. Canada's manpower needs have been planned several years ahead. The Govcrn.ment's Man- power Advisory Council was con- sidering whether a more extens- ive survey of manpower should be made and if the council so recom-

ended the recommendation would probably be carried out.

9. Canada will be getting the most modern U. S. tanks--Pattons .-among the equipment being sent here to replace the two divisions of British-type equipment sent to Europe.

The Minister joined Gen. Pearkes in tieploring the West's failure to reach arms standardi- zation. If there was any way that Canadian pressure or persuasion could lead Britain to accept U. 3. arms or vice versa. he would ex- ercise it. Canada. had been trying to do that for five years.

It was exceedingly difficult be- cause both the two major count- ries had large stocks of existing arms.

To the U. S. Types

Faced with this. Canada had decided to standardize with the U. S. not all across the board but largely. she had decided to turn the British-type equipment for five divisions she has on hand over to Europe and to replace it with U. 8. arms.

vice, but there is no economy in a system of transportation that prevents the development of agriculture so vital fan the Domin- ion and so very vital to the peo- ple of this Province, and it is dif- ficult to believe that the legiti- mate demands of this service are thus denied because of the trivial expenditures involved."

Mr. Mutch said he wondered whether the Government was in- fluenced by the efforts of the Canadian National Railways to prevent the development of the service in the interests of the Rail- way and at the expense of the people of this Province.

"We feel that the matter has been disposed of for the moment. not because the Commission do not recognize the need: and what- ever the reason the need for economy provides no excuse." he said. "We do not believe the peo- ple of the Maritime: will accept this decision without question."

He added that the company would wait to hear from the Com- mission with regard to securing another boat of the type of the "D ' " and fitting her up for the work. They did not wish to incur further expense in looking over Canadian and American hulls for I suitable craft, and would take no action involving expenditure until further word was received.
