tie-in with Island industry '..-iafrniing fishing and the tourist ‘bribe speaker why some imm- ediate action should be taken.

The Charlottetown member who last year made proposals regarding the sale of beer and wine in summer hotels said he was hlitzed- with letters follow- ing his presentation in the House. An analysis of these he said made very interesting reading.

Some of the letter praised him while others condemned such a move. There were others who would have the Island made completely dry.

Mr. Maclsaac said he could not see where a return to pro- hibition days would be desir- able. He recalled that rum at that time could be obtained for as low as $5 a gallon and there was no difficulty for anyone who Wished, to obtain it.

MAKES DISTINCTION

The Charlottetown member between temperance and total abstinence. He said he had been taught temperance in his home and in his church and did not “take anything stronger that a cup of tea” until he was 29.

He felt that temperance teach-

Turning to Labor, Mr.’ Mac- Isaac said Labor was not, as it was assumed by many. trying all the time to get shorter hours and higher wages. He said the aims of, organized labor among many other things peace and freedom coupled with security for all peoples.

HAPPY SITUATION

He said the labor organizations in the Province, consisting of 30 locals with a total member- ship of over 3,000, have a healthy relationship with management- He said many of these unions have brought benefits not only to themselves but to their em- ployers. "

At the City Hall meeting, the opinion was expressed that the constant heavy flow of two-way traffic on Grafton Street would lessen the efficiency of either of these proposals. _

Referring to this joint meeting Mr."Taylor stressed the spirit of co-operation that had PI'9V3i19d

On a community basis he said they have taken an active in- terest, chief among which was -the promotion of the Red Cross Blood Donor Clinic. They con- tributed to the Springhill'.Disas- ter fund to the amount of $1,000.

The Charlottetown member in speaking on industry in a broad sense, said much could be done to improve consumer trade inf greater care were taken in the packaging and preparation of agricultural products.

PROMOTIONAL WORK

He also felt that a greater part‘ -of the budget could be set aside for promotional work in the

“If we hafye ‘a, commodity which is the best in the world, is it not worth trouble to put it up in an attractive manner”, he said.

The speaker noted that great strides had taken place in the marketing of fish during recent years. The latest of these he observed was shredded codfish. As a further advancenient in the marketing of fish, Mr. Mac- Isaac suggested that fillets could be\pre cooked and put in pound or ‘half pound packages.

TOURIST INDUSTRY

More could be done for the tourist industry, Mr. Maclsaac thought. He noted the tremen- shown in tourist traffic to the Island during the past few years and estimated that the industry is well over a $5,000,000 a year business. More and better ac- commodations were suggested by the Charlottetown member.

In regard to the coming elec- tion, Mr. Maclsaac said Russia had its iron curtain and China its bamboo curtain but “we have a much stronger curtain than either of these two. I refer to that flimsy curtain at the polling booth which represents our bulwark between us and tyranny.”

Square.

‘ On a subsequent visit to the Highways Department‘ he had been assured that “demolishing” the Square had never been in- tended, on the contrary officials there had told him that it was the government’s intention to plant _more trees and landscape the area. ‘ ‘

Interviewed last evening, Mr. White declared that there was an urgent necessity for direct ac- cess to the new block of Provin- cial government offices in what is now known as “The Highways Building.”

The Department was concerned with providing accommodation for the thousands of cars that bring passengers on business to these offices, he stated.

“Parking facilities for govern-- ment employees is a secondary consideration,” he said, but not- ,cd that “every car that finds a ‘place off the street is one more out of the way.”

if approved by the government the suggested driveway would be sufficiently wide to Park a num- ber of vehicles, the Deputy-M1n- ister stated, adding that the Board of Tradc’s suggestion would be submitted for govern-, mental consideration, assoon as possible,

Farm Support Bill Termed ' “Not A Bad Act" By Cullen 1

Agriculture Minister Eugene

' Cullen said in the Legislature

yesterday he did not think the Federal Stabilization Act,

said there was very little differ-

ence between it and the act

which was in force under the Lsberal Government. The Minis-

, ter spoke briefly before the con- — clusion of the Draft Address.

In regard to the 80 per cent noted

had taken exception to this clause. Among these was the Canadian Federation of Agricul- ture.

Quoting from the Farm Radio Forum report issued by the Fed- eration of Agriculture, it was seen that the Federation would prefer a support clause‘ which would provide for parity prices as they wererelated to cost of production.

YEAR TO YEAR BASIS

The Federation opinion wen-t ‘

on to say that any average taken over a ten year I, period that has no reference to increased cost of production would be of little benefit to farmens.

Mr. Cullen stated that the benefits of the Act would depend entirely upon its administration. He said an advisory .Board has been named to provide informat- ion for the Stabilization Board who in turn advises the Minister

who brings the matter before the Governor General in Council. He said the only part of the bill over which Parliament has jurisdiction -is the 80 per cent fea- ture. \, ‘ . Replying to Opposition Leader Bell’s previous remark in the House that “Gardiner voted for the Bill,” Mr. Cullen expressed no surprise at this since Gardiner .-

MOSCOW (AP) ——_, Nikita S. Khrushchev took over Thursday as premier of the Soviet Union, replacing Nikolai ‘A. Bulganin. The unexpected action placed Khrushchev in a position compar- able to that occupied by Stalin.

Diplomats in the galleries gasped in astonishment when Marshal Klemenrti Voroshilov told the Supreme Soviet that the Co 1- munist party first secretary would be the next chairman of the council of ministers. The 1,- 378 deputies at the joint session of thg two houses burst into a storm of applause.

Contrary to normal practice for a Soviet leader, Khrushchev did not join in the applause for him- self, but stood by with bowed head until it subsided. Then he clenched his hands above his head in a salute to the deputies.

Khrushchev urged adoption of his plans-to albolish machine-trac- tor stations and turn over agri cultural machineny to collective farms. " ”

STRESSES AGRICULTURE

He emphasized agriculture in the 150-minute speech in which he pleaded, among other things for more animal manure.

“The more cows, the more manure, the more the crops,” Khrushchev told the house.

“We will conquer capitalism with a. high level of work and a higher s t a n d a r d of living,” Khrushchev asserted.

Bulga-nin’s resignation had been expected. As the joint session op- ‘ened, he surrendered the post he ‘obtained February, 1955, ‘when Georgi M. Malenkov lost it. Voroshilov, figurehead Soviet presiden~t—{he is chainman of the parliament's. praesidi-um — then read a nominating st-arteme-nt. It said Khrushchev had been selec- ted to lead’ the governrnent be- cause ofhis “exceptional fruitful- aecsf3...a;s first secretal'y_oIE~the Communist party central commit- tee.

NUCLEAR BAN PUT OFF

As premier, Khrushchev would sit across the table from Western leaders should there be agree- ment on a summit conference. The possibility of such a meet- ing might have been a factor in Khrushchev’: decision to ass-ume the premiership. Some wrt of Supreme Soviet ac-

question of a ban on thermonr clear weapon tests, and Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko had been scheduled to make a state- ment on it. But the joint session which made Khrushchev head of the Soviet Union in name as well as in fact ended after three hours and 38 minutes with no further action.

The two houses—the council of the union and the council of na- tionalities — will meet today to hear discussion on Khrushchev’: agricultural proposals.

It appeared, h o w e v e r, that there would have to be_ another joint session Saturday. This one would hear Khrushchev’; choice of cabinet ministers and Gro- myko’s report on testing of nu- clear weapons.
