P.E.I.( Subinisslon Being Prepared For Conference

"When the Dominion Provincial Confmme. which is held Ovary five years. is again held this out- umn much of the preparation will be found to be already done." Premier Jones stated last night. I 9 off of our sib- mission will be proceeded with this summer."

The ooafcrencc, he predicted. will be a crucial one front the standpoint of fiscal need alone. Among other subjects this Prov- ince will propose discussion on the following:

Consideration of the scope of Provincial public services and its relation to Provincial public debt and revenue.

Consideration of the problem of Provincial finance as affected by Federal progranis intended to further the extension of Provincial public services.

Review of Federal and Provincial spheres of taxation with the un- derlying consideration-the preser- vation of provincial autonomy.

Negotiation of extension or re- newal of Federal Provincial tax rental agreements based on current and developing fiscal need.

Transfer of certain existing scr- vlces to Federal jurisdiction and adjusting taxation structure to permit provincial solvency and sub- sidy revision.

Review of old age pensions and other health and welfare services. and adjustment of Federal con- tributions to provide for an equit- able distribution of burden.

Consideration of Federal and Provincial responsibility for rea- sonably comparable educational facilities and opportunities through- out Canada as a whole.

The- problem of matching grants in its relation to Provincial fin- ance.

specific Prince Edward Island difficulties in relation to trans- portatlon.

Provincial economic development; in particular the encouragement of shipping in the Gulf of st. Law- rerlce area and Newfoundland area so that Prince Edward Island products may reach their natural markets.

The Premier recalled that at the first conference in 1941 the Prov- lnce's income and corporation taxes were loaned to the Federal Government for 31.100000 subsidy- representing a. not subsidy ' e of about 550,000. Five years later the income. corporation and suc- cession duty taxes were loaned for five years more for an amount which increased the aurvual sub- sidy by about 31,900,000. "And still our fiscal need becomes greater." he added.

Mr. Shaw Reviews Potato Situation

Mr. W. R. Shaw. Deputy Min- ister of Agriculture, who leaves shortly for overseas, commuted yesterday on the potato market which he described as being "in rather an indifferent stale."

Mr. Shaw stated that if discre- tion is exercised in shipping pota- iou to market very little dif- dlculty should be experienced in having the market absorb existing supplies of varieties in demand" at lent. at steady if not high prices. The demand for Cobblers. of course, has weakened to a high degree.

with the large quantities of po- tatoes being unloaded this last week or two it is inevitable that the market should be ovor-charg- cd and weaken consider-a”y, he stated.

"I cannot conceive that there should be many more potatoes than 1200 earloads ldt on Prince Edward island. There are a few pockets where potatoes have not been shipped but in the great ma- jority of districts It is only a clean up job on existing supplies.

"The Upper Canadian supplies should now be pretty well clean- ed up and if our export surplus is fed on to these markets with dis- cretion I cannot see any reason why there should be a smash up in potato prices, he stated. If however, there is going to be an unregulated. unwise movement. Mr. Show stated, it is not hard to see disastrous results.

U. S. Situation

"The situation in the United States is erratic and lacks. up to the present, a steadyiag quality. New potatoes are in more ade- quate supply and the trade is buy- ing cautioully and sparingly. A report of a million bag order particularly for Maine stock for Europe has steadied the Maine movement a bit and I am advised this morning that this order has been consummated. If this report is true it should have a sieadylag effect on the market.

"The point. however, I would like to stress." Mr. Shaw stated. "is that markets on any commodity must be used with entire discre- tion and any departure from I system which supplies these mar- kets steadily, cautiously. and with quantities that do not cause over- loading is one of our main rc- quisiles in preserving not only price but final absorption of maximum quantities.

"Even with the clearing out of large qusntl la. of potatoes in the United States to the European market there will still be old potatoes available in Maine in considerable volume. and these. of course, will create a continual drag on the market. Good sales- mansirlp. in any event. will be no- cascary and our exporters and growers should thoroughly in- vestigate market conditions and treat. with concern the numbers of carloads of potatoes that move to our markets from day to day if we are to dispose of the bal- ance of our crop at reasonably

Is optimistic Ila Electrical Program

Anticipating a heavy program of electrical extension in the Prov- inoo this year. Premier Jones stated last night that the Board of Public Utilities has this work well in hand. It is hoped that the high voltage lino direct from Charlottetown to Sunmerside, to which he referred at the last sel- slon of the Legislature. will short- ly be built s.nd form a backbone for extension of electricity to the whole country.

Among others. the Premier list- ed the following extensions to be made by the Maritime Electric Company this year: 11 miles from Smlris East to Elmira corner; 12 miles in the Peter's Road area: 2

miles in the Oyster Bed Bridge area; 1.1 miles in the Kingston area; 10 miles in Clyde River to
