Premier A.W.

The Premier was asked for comment after a Can- adian Press story quoted Prime Minister Diefenbakcr as saying he had suggested to the ten pro- vinccs that a Federal-provincial conference be held November 25 and 26 in Ottawa to review the tax-sharing problem. g

Premier Matheson said he had not received any word from Mr. Diefenbaker as yet. concerning the matter but released his com- ment after reading thei news story from the Guardian wire.

"I know that during the last election campaign Mr. Diefeir baker made promises that if ful- filled now. will give a very sub- stantial incresse in the tax shar- ing iigrccments so far as Prince Edward island is concerned."

The Premier added: "I am happy that Angus MacLean. now the Minister of Fisheries. prom- ised during the election cam- paign to wipe out the injustice which Prince Edward Island suf- fered in having to pay back more than one million dollars of overpayment' in tax-sharing ar- rangcments to the Federal gov- ernment. and I am looking for- ward to the implementation of that undertaking at the earliest possible opportunity. Certainly I would expect the matter to be brought up at the conference which is now being called." Pre- mier Matheson added.

Mr. Walter R. Shaw of St. Catherines recieved a majority? of two votes over his opponenti Dr. L.G. Dewar in the contest

for leadership of the Progressive p --

Conservative Party in Prim-e Edward Island at a Nominating convenion of the pariy held last night at the Coliseum. Mr. Shaw's vote

'agalnst Dr. Dewar's wards of 4.000 people were at convention which saw

ballots handed out according to the chairman of the credentials

was 524 522. Up-

lighted by the visit of the Prime Minister of Canada. The Right Honourable John Diefenhaker who addressed the meeting.

i In accepting the leadership illlr. Shaw said if the vote had 'gone the other way. the Party would still have had a good lea- der in George Dewar. He said there was a great task ahead and s great destiny to fulfill and to accomplish these things a well trained personnel was most im- portant. He predicted a victory for the party at the next prov- incial election.

Mr. Shaw told the Prime Min- isier he would probatiy be sit- ting on his doorstep more often than the Federal Leader would like. However, he said. "we in- tend to present our claims in such a manner that they cannot help being recognized.”

Dr. Dewar stated that it was a good fair fight and the fact that he had lost would not deter him from giving his full support to Mr. Shaw in every way pos- sible.

Hundreds of people greeted Prime Minister Dieferibaker as he stepped from an M.C.A. plane at the Charlottetown Air- port last night. He was accom- pnnied by Mrs. Diofenbaku-.

Sees Dollar Gap Serious

leader Hugh Gaitskell said Tues- day the resppearance of the dot- lar gap in United States trade with the rest of the world is po- teniially more serious than re- cent events in Syria.

Declaring that a growing im- balance of trade could become an acute economic crisis. Gait- skell told the American Chamber of Comment: in London:

"I sincerely hope that the gov-

ernments of the West and espe cially the government of the United States are aware of this danger and giving proper atten- tion to this problem." Gaitsltcll said the underlying cause of the danger is that the rest of the world is buying more and more goods from the U3. without a uirresponding increase in U.S. purchases from the rest of the world.

his public service throughout the province his relations with the people from one end to the other had always been friendly.

He said. the province faces a very serious situation and there was no greater evidence than that raised by the Liberals them- selves. He stated that the prov- ince was going increasingly in debt each year which in turn saw a dwindling population now one half the size of Halifax.

Mr. Shaw said. "Not only is the Government going behind to the tune of two million dollars a year but it has to repay a debt

at Government claims it but our-paid them.

"What a time for this to hap- pen e right on the eve of a

ier and his Ministers want to Ottawa and we all sxpdctad a favorable arrangement. we ex-

were told. you spent over a mill- ion dollars of our money and now you will have to pay it back".

Mr. Shaw felt the Federal Government was anything but lenient with the local govern- ment when it charged them 8l5.- .

1 ing when he felt they should have gotten it for a token payment of i one dollar. K

Speaking of roads he said many country roads in the win- ter time were not even fit for a sleigh to pass on. He said there was no reason for this since the Government had seen at to in- erease the gas tax-even that which the farmers use is their tractors. he said.

SALARY INCREASI

He stated that while the Gov- ernment oould not see fit so in- crease the salaries of their pro- fessional amployees and school teachers they gave themselves an increase of 3450 a year.

Mr. Shaw said a crisis existed in agriculture. He claimed that 1,000 farms now he vacant and many communities are ghost towns. He advocated greater study of marketing outlets and better tariff protection.
