Queenis Member Urges Govit

Fulfill Pledges

OTTAWA, Dec. 4 - (Spe lal) - J, Angus MacLea.n, joint. onscr- rative member for Queen's to- night called on the government to make good on a number of its unfulfilled pledges to Prince Ed- uard Island.

For some years past, Mr. Mac- Lean said in the Throne Speech debate, there had been promises for a Federal Building for Char- lottetown: for 0. new armory and for a new naval barracks. None at these pledges had been met, ind they are now long overdue.

The Queen's member recalled that requests had been made and ire being made to the government to extend the runways of the Charlottetown airport. He under- stood that this matter is current- ly receiving the consideration of the Minister of Transport. and urged Transport Minister Chevrier to accede to the request for ex- tension of the airport. Prince Ed- ward Island, Mr. MacLean said. and Queens County in particular,

had received it very small share

"When a province like Alberta asks for something as the Minister of Mines and Technical Surveys has just told the House," he said. fat least Alberta getsa geolog- ical survey. When we in Prince Edward Island ask for something, all we get. is a stony stare."

Mr. MacLean urged government action to strengthen the system of transportation between the Is- land and the mainlaiid. Lack of sufficient ferrics, he said, had been creating traffic bottle-nccks and seriously harming the tourist in- dustry of the Province. The ves- sels on the Borden-Tormentine run were good boats but had proved unable to handle the traf- fic of would-be visitors to the is-

land in the summer months, he paid.

To remedy this situation. he urged that a new ferry-boat be

placed in service for the carrying of vehicular traffic between the Island and the mainland. It would not need to be an all-weather ves- sel or an ice-breaker; simply an efficient ferry for the tourist sea- son. , Mr. MacLean also called the at- tention of the House to the in- adequacy of the present vessels of Northumberland Ferries Ltd., operating between Wood Islands and Caribou. To meet the grow- ing volume of traffic between these two points, he said, a third ferry is urgently needed for the summer months. He called on the government either to provide thts third ferry or to make some ar- rangements whereby the ferry company would be in a position to secure ii. third ferry and operate

Economist Paints Glowing Picture Of The Future

MONTREAL. Dec. 4-(CP)- A high-ranking federal economist tonight predicted that Canada's national production may more than double in the next 35 years. climbing to 560,000,000,000,000 by 1977.

Dr. 0. J. Firestone, the Trade Department's economic adviser, predicted also that Canada's pop- ulation, currently about 14,100,000, likely will rise to more than 23,- 000,000 in the next quarter cen- tury.

Comparing the past with what may develop in the future, Dr. Firestone painted a picture of a. strong economy, built on expand- ing consumer purchasing power,- liigger exports and increased in- vcstments. -

The nature of Canada's growth holds a legoii for Canadian busi- ness men, he observed in a. speech prepared for delivery before the Engineering Institute of Canada.

Those who look to the future with caution and see the bogey of depression around every corner will lose opportunities to the "en- terprising and the bold."

Discounts Recession Talk

Already there was some talk of recession and yet not many were aware that. "it would require a major economic cili.83l'Oph6. prob- ably originating abroad, to cause a significant drop in employment and national income in Canada." Dr. Firestone said.

"The suggestion is that the western Nations may approach a peak level of defence spending u-ihin a year or so and that, after

LONDON. Dec. 4 - (AP) - Prime Minister Churchill today announced in the Commons is new cutback in the British defence ef- fort to lessen the entanglement of the country's economy in an in- flationary spiral.

He did not specify the size of the cut, but he made it clear the action was designed to protect Britain's financial solvency.

"Some curtailment must be made," Churchill said. will, to some extent, cancellation or modification contracts already placed."

To Spread Deliveries

"The reductions will. so far as possible. be brought about by spreading deliveries of equipment over a longer period. It will, how- ever, not be possible to solve the problem entirely by spreading de- llveries forward liito future months or years."

This was the method used in the first cutback. Churchill's Con- servative Government. announced last; winter that Britain's long range, s8.400,000.000 rcarmametit program, first put forward late in 1950, had been extended ll. you beyond the originally-planned three years because of manpower and steel shortages and the effects of the country's economic crisis.

He mentioned that. progress in the medium-bomber program would

enable a curtailment of light- bomber building. Further, Churchill stressed that

Britain is as determined as ever to carry her full share in the ef- forts of the North Atlantic Treaty Orgaiiizaticn.

Original Program Rash

Britain now is spending H.462,- t)00.000 a. year for defence. More than one-third of this goes for new weapons. .

Under the original defence pro- gram, the prices would have push- ed to 3. total of il.850,000,000 this year. Churchill said. and to E1.800,000,000 next year.

The Prime Minister said it would have been rash to carry on the original arms program.

"This is not passing censure or making ('Jlli.lCiSln of our tLabori predecessors." he said. "Had they had to deal with the situation as it. presents itself today, they would no doubt have made the neces- sary adjustments and curtailments without. violating the principle of going to the utmost limits of our

TORONTO, Dec. 4 -(OP)- A ban on so-called faith healing may be imposed in Ontario 15 a result of the death in Barrie. ont., of I 19-year-old diabetic girl who, authorities say, gave up insulin after talking with a unveiling evangelist and died in 68 hours. Doctors say the decision of Mary Taylor to take no more insulin a- mounted to suicide.

Chief Ooi-onor .5mirlc Lawson, who will conduct the inquest into the girl's death, speculated that the jury's verdict might recom- mend a legal ban on the activities of faith healers.

Attorney-General Porter of On- tario soid he will personally watch "moat carefully" the evidence.

"If anything emerges from the inquest, we will have to act." he said.

"I am aslmmed of the Liberal Government who keep six cap- tains and a host of engineers there," the Premier said. "We must get. better accommodation as lhis cannot, be endured. We must' make a lot. of noise.

On Treaties

By Richard Knsiclike

RONN, Germany. Dcc. 4-tAFt --Chancellor Konrad Adenriuer to- night reversed his plan to force a prompt vote on the treaties to rt-arm West Germany in alliance with the West. It. appeared par- liameiit's filial ratification will be postponed at least it month.

The postponement grew out of) back-stage political manoeuvring that went on while several huii- dred Cnmmunlsts staged dem- onstrations and chanted, "We don't want any American weapons."

The Chancellorls surprise move was made after the second day of debate in the lower house on the bills ratifying ll. peacc contract t.o end the occupation and pledging West Germany to raise an army of 500,000 men for the six-nation European defence community. A final vote had been expected to- mm-row.

But. Adenauer's Christian Dem- ocrats. at a meeting of leaders in the t.hrce-vparty governing coalition. proposed to postpone the final test until the federal supreme court has given an opinion whether a simple majority or a two-thirds vote in the lower house is neces- sary for ratification.
