founded in 1855.

"1 might recall to mind that it was about that time that anaes- thesia. which had been introduced a few years earlier by Dr. Long and Dr. Morton, was coming into popular use. Modern antiseptic surgery as we know it today had not been born. Bacteriology was as yet unknown. The first gall bladder and the first appendix had yet to be removed. There were no hospitals in Charlotte- town. And medical economics, al- though unknown under that head- ing, was summed up in the fam- our words of the surgeon De Mondevllle in his admonitions to the surgeon. 'He may give ad- vice to the poor for the love of God only, but the rich should be made to pay well.'

"I know of nothing which seems to have caught the imagination of the Canadian public like the dis- cussions and talks and gossip which surround the problem of health insurance. Since the in- troduction of what we might de- scribe as the Blue Cross idea, twenty-five years ago. a whole new era of thinking and a whole new system of medical economics has crept into our lives. This broad system might simply be described as prepayment health care and for my purpose today. I shall limit-its scope to the field of hospitalization and medical care.

"The broad application of pre- payment hcalth care to a govern- ment agency as His carrier. comes under the general heading of health insurance. Personally I feel that this is an unfortunate terminology. because it has led to a poor definition of two branches or two ethods of handling.pre- payment. a a m e 1 y compulsory health insurance which we usual- ly associate with government agencies. and voluntary health in- surance which generally indicates all other pea of carriers

United States and Trans-Canada Medical Plans here in Canada both of which are made up of medical- ly sponsored medical prepayment plans are the only ones in the field attempting to solve this problem on an equitable basis."

"I am convinced that hospital- ization and medical care do not belong in the insurance field. And I am strongly convinced that many life insurances companies. for whom Ihave the greatest ad- miraiion. have not only not gained in prestige but may ultimately ex- pose themselves to influences which will remove them from the field of usefulness which they have always enjoyed. insurance com- panics never attempted this type of coverage before voluntary plans tried to make it effective. Insur- ance companies have never as- sumed any community liability to attempt to cover the population, but are content to insure those groups which can show wide mar- gins of profit.

"It is obviously a discourtesy to the people of this country to pre- vent more wide-spread coverage in the hospital and 4' ' care field by insuring only those groups with large employee mem- berslwv-with employer contribu- tions, with a very low utilization ratio. and with contracts which do not give continuous coverage when the employee leaves his place of employment or when he is laid off or when he retires. No long term planning of coverage for the people of this country can include such competitive profit- making programs.

"Life insurance and salary in- demnity do not belong in the health field .and hospitalization and medical care have no place in the life insurance programs as such. I think it is safe to say, without controversy. management for the most part has accepted the principle that it will pay part or all of the cost of hospital and medical care benefits for its em- ployees. and that close coopera- tion between Iabor and manage- ment is essential in providing this service. By the same token. both labor and management will come to realize. and have already real- ized in many important instances, that neither can afford to have somebody make a profit out of providing these essential services.

"To prevent abuses in the use of hospital and medical care plans the cibsest cooperation be- tween hospitals, doctors and pat- ients is required. Hospitals will have to devise better methods of utilizing their existing facilities. of providing services more readily gndl perhaps on a 7 day a week

medicine has to offer to- ll:-d.'.'n"a will offer in the future. "To cry out for everything that modern hospitalization and medi- cal care can give to all Canadians on the basis of what they Wlnl-. makes little impression on think- lag people. unless it is coupled with a firm determination to pro- vide for those same Canadians basic things they need in their normal life.

The lack of assistance to the primary industry of agriculture was criticized by Mr. MacDonald who said that the Government's aid to the farmers in Prince Ed- ward lsland was far behind that of the other provinces. The same. he said.'was true of the rural electrification program and health and welfare. "We were, however. by presistent needling. able to get a better deal in this latter department during the past year," he said.

we are losing out in our leach- er training program." said Mr. Mat-Donald. who quoted figures to show that in the Province of New Brunswick the number of Normal Training graduates in 1953 was 135: in 1954. 255 and in 1955 there will be 390 graduates. "Priuce Edward Island is not increasing in its number of graduating tea- chers," he continued.

REVENUE LOW

Mr. MacDonald observed that the revenue of the Province is low and stated that this was in keeping with the per capita in- come which. he said, was the lowest in Canada - 51.8 in com- parlson to Ontario's 110.7. The best revenue producers to the Province last year. he said were liquor and gasoline "not a very good mixture. 1 am told," Con- tinuing, he stated that in 1935 when the revenue from liquor was 325.000 the Conservatives were called botltleggers. ”I won- der what this Government will be called with a million dollar liquor revenue?" he asked.

In rising to speak. Mr. Mac- Donald congraiulated the Pro- vincial Secretary for his fine pre- sentatlon of the Budget Speech and at the same time paid high tribute to his prerecessor, Hon. Walter Da-rby. He said it was unique to have a colleague reply to the Budget Speech A be and Mr. Clark represent the same district. Referring further to his colleague. Mr. MacDonald said. "since he has been adopted by the district he has grown in wis- dom and knowledge.”
