IIO INDICATION

..:_:_..:__.?__ fence of Atlantic Pact countries.

shinwell announced the appoint- ment of Lord Tedder, Marshal of the R.A.i".. as chairman of the British Joint Services Mission in Washington and British represen- tative on the North Atlantic Pact Military Committee.

The 59-year-old Lord ‘redder. Deputy supreme Commander of the Allied forces during the war in Europe. will take up his new dut- ies next month.

Shlnweii said Commonwealth members are being invited to I meeting oi the Commonwealth d- visory Committee on Def ce science in Britain during the sum- mer.

It was Britain's policy "to re- duce manpower without detriment to the striking power of the forces, but to spend more in research and new production." ,

A-Bomb Defence

The estimates showed that the outlet; next year for a civil defence orglnizatlon, shaped to combat I ',05SIbI€ atom attack. will be in- creased by one-third. The estim- ates list £6,164,270 for the 1950- 51 fiscal year, an increase of £2.- 3l6.8l0 from the present budget- ary year.

Most of the increase will be used to purchase equipment and mater- ials, uniforms and personal equip- ment, respirators and fire equip- ment.

Referring to problems created by the atomic bomb, shinweil said:

"We cannot and do not ignore in our defence planning the ap- pearance of the atomic bomb, nor its more deadly development. the hydrogen bomb, which now ap- pears to be within the range of scientific development.

"We shall also continue to meet. to the maximum possible extent. requests for assistance in building up the fighting services of the other Commonwealth countries."

In his discussion of the defence estimates, Churchill said he did not quarrel with the navy estimates. but was rather sorry to see no in- creases In ileet reserve strength during 1950-51. '

“The main emphasis of our naval effort at the present time should he to create the ialgest numbers of light fleet aircraft carriers and auxiliary carriers which are cap- able of carrying the necessary mod- ern type of aircraft."

Turning to the Air Force gen- erauy. Churchill said:

"In the forefront stands the en- ormous numerical strength of the soviet Air Force. If we are to have sufficient strength to deter war. or enable us to win through if it comes, we require far larger num- bers of the highest class aircraft than we now possess.

"Our defence forces in fighter sircraft should be raised and our radar protection should be raised by our utmost exertions to the highest possible level. ,

A pacifist Labor member. Emrys Hughes. put forward an amend- ment expressing regret at the in- creased spending on armed forces It a time “when the discovery of the atom bomb and ‘the hydrogen bomb has revolutionized modern warfare."

Wheher the amendment will reach a vote depends on a ruling by the Speaker.

iioine. senor Welfare Group Holds Me_eilng

M the rosular meeting of the Home and school Welfare Group held on Wednesday evening in the Summerside High school library, Miss Eleanor Wheler was the spe- clll speaker. with Dr. 1-La. Clark. the president. presiding.

Miss Whaler outlined the set-up of the Department of Health in this Province and stated that Prince Edward island had been a e to start more new work i. it any other Province Is a re- sult of the Federal grants for health work. Nineteen public health nurses is the objective for Prince Edward Island but at’ the present time there are only six. Miss Whe- ler said that a great deal more education is necessary in stressing the importance of prenatal care and that many infant deaths might be prevented. For example 33 percent of babies died of res- piratory diseases, showing that they should be isolated from people with colds.

She also pointed out that due to-the vigilance of the Department of Public Health there had been no small pox originating in p_- E.I. in twenty years. Miss Whaler also dealt with the great strides made in TB treatment due to the mobile X-ray unit.

The Speaker commended the Home and School Welfare Group on its interest in the school and urged them to do something about the sanitary facilities which are in a most unsatisfactory condition: -8

-properly referred to the need for potato warehouses. what had be- come of the policy under which the Federal Government under- took to pay 37 1-2 percent of the construction costs. on condition of the Province contributing an equal amount? There had been some hitch in the negotiations and it was time that the mystery was cleared up.

The Federation brief had also expressed regret that support of bhe artificial breeding unit had been abandoned. Dr. M'acM.ilian noted.

‘‘Is that your policy now?" ask- ed Premier Jones.

Dr. ‘MaoMlllan: "I haven't got any policy; I am not running this Province You 'are the farmer Premier."

Premier Jones: "Why don't you make a motion? You are talking away without offe.ring any amend- ment. just like ycru did on the Draft Address."

Dr. MacMi.i1an: “That is the rea- son the farmers got ‘spanked’. when they made reference to this subject."

Premier Jones: "Why don't you make 3 motion? 1 have asked that hundreds of timts. You move thst we put in artificial insemin- ation. I would like to see you do it!"

Dr. Macwllan: "Has the position power to increase the

Estimates?"

Premier Jones: "You make a motionl"

Dr. Maoblillsn: “Don't talk

nonsense to me. about enlarging the Estimates. The Estimates were under-spent last year, and the year before. on agriculture."

Premier Jones. “Make a motion —an amendment—to this; make it now!"

Dr. MaoMilla.n: “The farmers will make a motion all right."

Premier Jones: "We want to see what your policy is."

Dr. MacM.illan: "It is not my policy that is under criticism; it is your policy. You don't accept criticism very kindly. do you? ‘fillet is why you insulted the fanmers. We all felt humiliated when they came in here and were publicly in- united by the Premier of this Province." ,

Premier Jones: "I wish you would make scmc motion, and you wound soon find out."

Hon. Dr. MacMilian: “The Premier told these men that if they were good farmers they wouldn't be coming here on dele- gations——th-at they should be too busy at home. Isn't that fine ad- vice to men who give their time freely in trying in improve the condition‘-of every farmer; in this Province? They were rnpudiated and the House was humiliated by the Premier telllng,them to go off home."

Premier Jones: "The wasn't in session "

Dr. McscMillan: "lt was a great example of dignity. wasn't it. shown» to that great or anizaiion which icr years have k t them- selvts out of party politics. com- ing to the only place when they shc.u'.d come to. to get their griev- ances remedied! Why isn't there a field man in King's and Queen's Counties. as they have been re- quertin-g'."'

Mr. R. R. Bell: “No money!"

Dr. Maolvflllan: "No; and the E.timstes for .agrlcuiture under- spent year after year. There is less spent for the farmers than in any other section of government ex- pendlttrre.

Reefer Car supply

"Then we had a great ms the other day about reefer cars for potatoes. it was raised in the House, Commons. and in this house too. The Minister at Ottawa doesn't show himself in a very nice light. He was advised about It early. by the shi ping board of this Prov- ince: It at more information did he need? was it olrrj duty responsibility? I am sure . Montgomery, the superintendent of the railwly. did everything in his power. But there about the urgenc of the matter. 1

House

and Mr

The ‘Billie’

Referring to the report submit- ted on Newfoundland trade via

the "Eskimo", Dr. Macmillan said that he did not think the purchase 0‘ V-Ml bi!!! by I Crown corpor- ation was good business. “It is just another attempt on the part of this Government to socialize trade," he

said. "The whole idea and pro-‘

cedure is wrong—putting a Gov- ernment ln competition with priv- ate business."

Premier Jones: "Why don't. you make an amendment on that now? We will have it tested."

Dr. MacMillan: "The business last year was not as great as it was the year before. The boat lost money. She is ot paying for her- ulf. How much cold storage space has she? I] there any cold storage capacity available in her at all? What was it used‘ for-before? For furs. I am told that a fellow with a 50 lb. ham couldn't get into the cold storage with it." ;

Mr. Bell: "If he got in he couldn't get out."

Dr. MacMlilan asked what was, the effect of this trade on the schooner owners who operated from Montague, Georgetown and other eastern ports. What was the effect in Newfoundland? Is any- trade going to be satisfactory un-| less it is on a reciprocal basis?| We are sending stuff to them, butl what ire we going to take from them? Somebody says we could take beer. There might be some-i thing in that, I don't know."

Mr. Bell: "No commission Newfoundland beer."

Dr. MacMl an: "After I read, this report began to fancy that. we are losing ground." He doubted whether the present manager was any better qualified than Mr. Agnew. There were some propos-' als in his report which he didn't like very much.

Premier Jones: "There is an ex- cellent opportunity, then, for you to bring in a motion right now."

Dr. MacMlilan: "It is your baby,’ not mine,—-thin, undernourished.‘ weak and failing: you had better call in a better doctor than your- self to see what is wrong with it!" (Laughter). I

P. W. C. Dormitory

On the question of a dormitory for Prince of Wales College, Dr. MacMillan said he had been criti- cised in a letter in the press for not knowing what the conditions were. He recalled his own experi- ence as a teacher, and also the fact that the College had been built under his administration. |

Premier Jones: "You didn't burn the old one down?"

Dr. MacMillan: "I built it andi equipped it with the best equip- ment in Canada at a cost of less than $400,000. How will that com- pare with your Technical School?"

He thanked the Premier for handing over to the City School Board, free of cost, the old equip- ment in the Vocational School.

He was not opposed to a dormi- tory if it is properly built, one end for boys, the other for‘ girls. Dr. MacMillan emphasized. What he had expressed opposition to was a co-ed institution.

The equipment at the College was first class, and students should have no complaint on that score. Dr. MacMillan said. If they failed it was their own fault.

He cited evidences of superficial modern trends in education, and- deplored attempts to eliminate the humanities and bring everything down to a utilitarian level.

‘ He cited the fine showing made by the St. Dunstan‘; debating team in competition against all Canada.

It was a matter of satisfaction to note i at the schools are near- ly all filed with teachers. "I don't know how many of them are permit teachers." Dr. MacMillan said: “but I don't think it is pos- sible at the present time for the. Government to pay the teachers‘ more-money. Unfortunately, under an extensive permit system, therel will be deterioration in the pu- plls from year to year."

Trans-Canada Highway

Noting that the proposed trans- Canada highways calls for con- struction of roads 24 ft. wide with. lfrades of not more than 6 percent.‘ Dr, MacMillan expressed hope that these conditions would be modi- fied. He understood the highway was to run from Borden to Char- lottetown. 1

Premier Jones: “Nobody said that, Borden to Wood Islands. I wouldn't even know if it is coming, into harlottetown." |

Dr. ncMlllan: “Naturally it will be by Charlottetown."

Premier Jones: “Who said so?" 1

Dr. MacMillan: "What are you grumbling about now? You said so." r

Premier Jones: "I said Borden to Wood Islands by the shortest possible route."

Dr. MacMillan: "Can you get any other way except going by Charlottetown?"

Premier Jones: ‘if you across the harbours mouth——"

Dr. MacMillan: "Sure: that will be one of your high-minded pro- jects, such as you described the other day. about seeing Cape Bre- ton with half a million people and Sydney as a modern Utopia. 1 hope it will turn out better than Ship- shaw. Petlcodiac and those other pipe-dreams that we have listened to in this House. When the trans- Canada highway gas: through. what will you do about the bridges that are included in this project? The Hillshoro Brldge—will you have a new one?"

‘I don't know.“ . ‘Will you have n

30

Premier "I wouldn't know." Dr. MecMilian: "You will have

to have it."

Premier Jones: "Why don't you make a motion to get lt—to ex- tend the highway."

Dr. Macliilillsn: "It In going lo cost a lot of money. The Federal Government is going to pay 50 per cent. and the speech from the Throne said it is hoped that our part of it will be forthcoming. Is it forthcomIng.? We can only hope so. '

New Federal Building

i

Noting in The Guardian the pic- ture of the roposed new Federal building at ummerside, Dr. Mac- Milian asked what about the new building for Charlottetown. "Those people have orders to get out on April 1st.” he said, "not knowing

'Csmpbeii's arguments before

whether the contract has been an-

tered into or not. It was a great.

piece of folly to tear out I whole block to put a Federal building on. What is going to happen to those families?"

Premier Jones: you put it?"

Dr. MacMillan: "I would put it over. here by ‘he Court House."

Premier Jones: "On the Square?"

Dr. MacMlila : ‘Yes; where would you put it?"

Premier-‘Jones: "What would you do with the Court House?"

Dr. MacMiilan: "They followed your exampie—t.hey are -great peo- ple to buy. When this building is erected you are going to move in- to the old Y.M.C.A. building where you any you will have lots of room. I think it's too much room you have now."

The best bargain the Govern- ment was realizing on. Dr. Mao

"Where would

[Millan added. was the $3.600 rent

they were getting for the old Sims building, which the Conservatives had'purchased for 510.000. ''If the other financial transactions of this Government were on a par with that arrangement we would be in a happy state." he added.

“But seriously, what is going to happen to those families on the Government building site? You can't buy or build anything now- adayg, It is pretty tough treatment for those people, and it exempli- fies the negligence of the Federal Government in not having a pro- per housing prograrII1 H 3 country."

Subsidy Awanla

Dr. MacMliian again refened to the three subsidy awards received by this Province in the years 1912. 1926 and 1934. The first one had been written into the B.N.A. Act when it was assented to, but the other grants, totalling $275,000 in annual subsidy, had not been in- cluded until years afterwards.

“My contention is that they should have been written in after they were passed." the Opposition leader said. “Following a logical conclusion, they would not then have been given up in the tax ag- reement negotiated during the war years, as was the case. The sub- sidy of 1912 was retained, but the
