As soon as the Government is able to se- cure suitable personnel a cam- paign to this end will be entered l upon.

Plank fourteen. After much study and delay s. plan and loca- tion for a dry dock in Charlotte- -own has been made and the whole concluded arrangement has been presented to the Federal Govem- wlent for action. ft is hoped that borlngs will be accomplished this winter and that a dry dock large enough to accommodate all local ships will be built. The building n; this dock is a Federal respon- ribllity.

which will be of great use.

Clause twenty-one. The Recon ltluctioil DGpHFII-mellt has in the told storage emergency proceeded it erect a cold storage plant. Quick

lfreezing is demanded for fish. berries, and meats, and is being installed. Cold storage is required ,for butter, poultry. exotic fruits. i liueberries, fox meats and cheese. ‘merchandising of the above pro- ducts is much more efficient from a cold storage plant. The quick heezing and cold storage ef small ‘rults for example is necessary to 'develop a small fruit trade such ';ls Matthew-Wells Co. is commit- ico to.

Opposition Platforms

I have seen the platform of the CCF. party. There are marl, plans-much plannius~in it. l would suggest that there are two principal things faulty with lt- Plrst, there is a lack of competent men to carry it out and administer i: second it would cost so much that. heavy revenue taxes would have to be applied. That is the case in Saskatchewan where taxes are around four times more pel capita than on Prince Edward Is- land.

The Conservatln platform ex~ liibits a lack of planning and the speeches supporting it. are criti- cal, negative. vague, and misin- formed. Why should it be con ciuded that a grain elevator would immediately help the livestock . eed situation? Water freight is higher than rail freight at the lpresent time. N0 Brain would 3"
