He described the Progressive Conan-votive party's promises as "s more-tax less hokurn." adding that the Conservatives are trying to get back into power "at all colts.”

"it would certainly cost the Canadian taspaper a lot of mono! to have this party is: power." he said.

One thing the conservatives did not mention was that the portion of the national income going into the federal budget bulked smaller every year.

He said the federal budget of rotllhlv ts.ooo.ooo.ooo a year could not be chopped. unless the govern- ment cut its services.

WOULDN'T CUT PAYMENTS Nobody would suggest cuttin payments to the provinces. soci security measures and. for now, de'ence costs, which totalled 876 out of every 8100 of the budget.

Yet thq were pronlsing further services. "But wise men and women." he said. "know this truth that Tories never tell: A government must tax to spemi-and tax more to spend more. "That Tory election promise to more and tax less--is tun ainly ratdiculous."

Reliable sources said the coun- cil removed Cantave because he refused its suggestion that he use his troops to force entry ” into St. More. a rebel-held town 50 miles northwest of Port. au Prince. '

The rebels inflicted a damaging blow to the council's prestige by barring entry of the seven while welcoming Cantave with cries of "iong live the army" and ”down with the government!

There has been increasing ten- sion between the army and the police. Armand was named police chief last February by Caniavc.

Cantave had tiered the army to steer a n utrai course in the polilical situation and turned down requests that he take over control.

Farm Market Questions

MORRIS. Man. (CPl O Trade Minister Howe faced an audience bristling with questions about farm problems Saturday night and the result was one of the liveliest meetings of the federal election campaign In Manitoba. ..

More than 500 persons jammed a sihool auditorium with a seating capacity of 435 to hear the min- istcr complete a Western cam- paign tour.

An example of the verbal fire- works was the request of a man on the floor to speak from the plat- form where the only public ad- dress microphone was located.

"Oh. no," said Mr. Howe. "This is our meeting. when your party organizes a meeting we'll speak from the floor."

The would-be speaker brnughtl

the house down with;

"But Mr. Howe. I'm the presi- dent of the Liberal association in Morris. I'm one of the boys, so to speak." ..

Thus Bruce Macxensia. presi- dent of the constituency Liberal association was invited to the plat- ftrm and immediately told a story comparing Mr. Howe to the ”ba- loncy" in a sandwich and accused the minister of "sliding around the main issue."

HAD QUESTIONS

lie wanted to know whether. since the government had taken over the marketing of wheat. it was responsible to western farm- ers as far as stability. orderly mar- keting and social security were concerned.

While Mr. Maclienzie was still speaking Mr- Howe interrupted to say that he had to go because he had to be in Eastern Canada Sun- day.

his llslcners showed signs of rest-

lessness he said: "There has been a good deal of misunderstand , about wheat." This brought a response from the crowd that was about half and half laughter and cheering.

DOWN TO BUSINESS

”Now we're getting down to business." he said.

”We had a good fall movement of wheat and at the end of the year we had sold conaide lisiy more wheat than a year earlier," Mr. Howe said.

'There seems to be an impres- sion abroad that our markets have suddenly gone to pieces." he said. "I don't know of any such situation. ,,

"i cant 'aee all the ararm that Is being felt about the present situation."

ltlr. Howe said that "we have trouble!" and blamed some of them on the closing of the Suez Canal last year. The closing created a shortage of ocean ship- ping which caused rates to triple on the Atlantic and almost double on shipments from the west coast.

However. rates were falling and the situation was expected to be back to normal soon.

CRITICIZED US

The trade minisie had criti- cised the way the United States is disposing of its surplus wheat- 'They are not content to sell to established customers - in fact, they didn't have many because the U.S. is not a traditional ex- porter of wheat."

"1 hope you are not being mis- led with all the theories of the way Canada should be competing with the United States." he said. The US. had a population of M0.- 000.000 and Canada has l6.000,w0.

"l don't think anyone wants us to enter into a rat race with the iU.S. treasury when the odds are .iI)-to-l against us being able to stand the competition." ..

PARIS (AP) - Premier Guy Mollet faces a showdown today in the national assembly on his de. mand that Frenchmen ant eup more taxes to pay the cost of fighting rebellion in Algeria. Political sources said Monday night Mollet has a fair chance to win a vote of confidence-the 34th time he has confronted parlia- ment on such a ballot in the 16 months he has held office. No other post-war premier has held on that long. Mollet's fate rests in the hands of Independent Republicans led by former premier Antoine Pinsy and Roger Duchet. If they abstain. Mollet will squeeze through. If they cast their 100 or so votes against him the premier will be beaten and the country will be thrown into political turmoil.

The I r' ” i Republicans support Mollet on foreign issues but oppose him on domestic fiscal! matters.

Political Sources Believe He Has Fair Chance To.Win

In this case Mollet: is asking new taxes

They may do so anyway. But the program is tied to France's efforts to retain control of Al- geria-an issue the independents fully endorse.

A by-election in Lyon Sunday to fill the assembly sent vacated by the recent death of Edward Her- riot gave politicians food for thought. The return: showed slight gains for two parties in Mollet's coalition and a setbach for his three bitterest enemies- the folowers of former premier -Pierre Mcndea-France, the Com- munists and the supporters of Pierre Poujade. leader of a tax scsussss movement.
