Councillor Baker also told the Council that the Welfare Com- mittee had met with a large re- presentation from both Welfare Agencies last week. The agen- cies“had’ brepared a brief, he said urging financial assistance to cover administrative | costs. The agencies had requested $2,- 500 each and Coun.

that it was too costly an under- | taking for the City to contem- ‘plate at the present time but suggested that Councillor Gorm- ley pass on any additional in- formation at a future meeting. Councillor Foster gave notice of motion that he would. propose an amendment to the City By Law to ask for periodic medical examinations of city employees now on pension by reason of ill health by a doctor appointed by the City. He would also ask for provision for appeal by the employee.

A White House announcement Monday night said the leave would be ‘for a short period.” Dulles will enter Walter Reed Army Hospital here today for the operation.

PAUL MARTIN CRITICAL

OTTAWA (CP) — Liberal Paul Martin Monday accused the gov- ernment of ‘‘contempt of the pro- vinces and contempt of Parlia- ment” in not calling a new fed- eral-provincial conference on, tax- sharing.

He suggested in the Commons that Prime:Minister Diefenbaker is ‘‘reneging” on his promises in order to avoid embarrassing po- litically friendly governments of Ontario, Quebec and Manitoba.

Mr. Martin, -MP for Essex East, spoke for 1% hours in opening the first supply debate of the ses- sion and wound up by presenting a want - of - confidence motion calling for an immediate federal- provincial conference to deal with “serious problems of common common concern” including unemployment and fiscal rela- tions. E

He said that at the las! confer- ence. in November, .1957, Mr. Diefenbaker undertook to hold a further meeting ‘‘as soon as pos- sible in the new year’ of 1958

STILL WAITING

The provinces still are waiting,

he said. * CCF House Leader Hazen Ar- gue, supporting Mr. Martin, said the government has taken an “‘ar- rogant™ and insulting attitude to wards the provinces.

A conference could have been called last fall. But Mr. Diefen- baker and Finance Minister Fleming went on—world trips in- stead.

Mr. Fleming, launching his re-

ply shortlfbefore the supper ad- }journmenl,

was “mouthing empty, baseless charges without any facts to sup- | port them.”

POINTS TO COMMITTEE

He referred. to the govern- ment’s plan, announced. in the throne speech, to give federal- provincial fiscal relations “active co-operative “study” by the joint continuing committee on fiscal and economic matters.

“In the face of.that . . . how can any member of the: House say that this government is pro- pusing to do nothing to advance the study or discussion between the Dominion and the provinces of the question of their joint ‘fis- cal relations?”

At the night sitting, Mr. Flem- ing said it is difficult to conceive of anything ‘‘more hypocritical” than the Liberal party's claims that it stands.for consultation with the provinces.

Referring to constituional amendments in 1946 to change the repre sentation of the prov- inces in the Commons, Mr. Flem- Ling said the former Liberal gov- ernmen acted without consulting the provinces.

The Liberals then had “bla- tantly’’ departed from the posi- tion of former. Libesals like Sir Wilfrid Laurier, and Ernest La- poinfe who had aways claimed that no constitutional change should be made without first ob- taining provincial consent. POSITION “HYPOCRISY”

The present post‘icn of the Lib- erals was “a snare, a delusion, and hypocrisy.”

4._W._Pickersgill (1 § Bona-

‘Immediate Conference’ Is Urged By Liberals

vista-Twillingate) interjected that “these perversions of history” were interesting, but he failed to see how the “‘irrelevancies” could be related to the question of a conference now.

Mr. Fleming 3uid Mv. Pickers- gill apparently had rot followed

the “twisting, tortsous :emarks”’ of Mr. Martin. As the day’s sitting began,

there were these developments: 1, Defence Minister said the government is consider-

jet fighter in the RCAF air divis- ion in Europe with some other type of aircraft.

2. Mr. Diefenbaker said the Borden royal commission is ex- pected to report next April or May on oil marketing. This re- port is likely to deal with the pro- posal for an oil pipeline from the Prairies to Montreal.

The supply debate begun by Mr. Martin will continue today.

WOULD BE EMBARRASSED In his lengthy, broadside attack

gested that the government, its forecast $700,000,000 deficit, isn't calling a new conference with the provinces because it would be “embarrassed by addi- tional demands.”

Besides, he added, the Conser- vative governments ‘of Ontario and Manitoba will face elections soon. The only way Premiers Frost and Roblin could avoid the embarrassment of a federal turn down. of their demands at a con-
