OTTAWA (SPECIAL) - Sug- gestlons as to how the economy of the Atlantic Provinces can be im- proved so that it will more closely match that of the other Canadian Provinces were made in the House of Commons Monday by J. Angus MacLean, Conservative M.P. for Queens.

Mr. MncLean told the chamber that while the Gordon Commission report had served a useful pur- pose by calling the attention of all Canada to the Maritime Provinces it had also done "A great disser- vice by ,grossly underestimating the potential of the four Atlantic Provinces including Labrador."

Since confederation, Mr. Mac- Lcan said. all Dominion Govern- ments land been neglectful of the Maritime Provinces in varying de- grees. Greatest responslb'" for the neglect, be emphasized, must fall on the present Liberal Govern- ment which has been in power for more than 30 years.

Till PROGRAM

The Queens member's program for rehabilitation of Maritime ec- onomy included:

1. Amendment of the Maritime Freight Rates Act to restore the benefits which have been lost through horizontal increases in freight rates.

2. Adjustment of a number of tariff items including the impo- sition of a tariff on pota im-

8. Greater Dominion Govern- ment research into capabilities of the Auntie fisheries both from the economic and public health stand- points.

4- Institution of serious studie- by both Federal and Provincial Governments to halt the ”Csnnl- ballsstion" of small Maritime in- dustries by large corporations from Central Canada.

5. United effort by governments at all levels to have some of the iron ore of Labrador and Northern Quebec processed at Sydney instead of at United States Centres

RAP! COMMISSION

Mr. Macbean rapped the Gor- don Commission for its proposal to bring Maritimers living in depres- sed areas of the Atlantic Provinces to other parts oi Canada.

"We are living a life of our own choosing.” he said. We enjoy very high standards oi education and we have a definite culture of our own. Our forefathers came to the Atlantic Provinces and the economy oi those provinces was very prospwous until after con- federation one thing is certain; we don't want to emigrate again."

The Gordon Commission. Mr.

MacLean said. had failed to ap- preciate the industrial potential of

the Maritlmets.

Among the actual and potential resources oi the east coastal area be mentioned great mineral wealth, largely undeveloped; great quantities of coal; fisheries suscep- tible oi notable expansion; prox- imity by water transport to European and world markets: hy- dro power possibilities; forest wealth and agriculture. both of which could be developed on a much greater scale than has been evidenced in the past. INFLUENCE WAN!-:8

The Queens member recalled that at confederation, the Atlantic Provinces had 43 out oi 206 mem- bers of the Commons, or roughly 1) per cent. Today it sends only 26 members out of 265 to Ottawa. or 10 per cent. He charged a "'lack oi understanding" on the part of the central government on the nature and extent oi Maritime problems.

Instead of gaining from confed- eration, Mr. MacLean said, the Maritime Provinces had lost their normal north and south trade channels, and high cost oi trans-

rtstion on the east to west route

had made it impossible for most.

of the Maritime industries to carry the load. Vast grants oi new land in the west and north west had been made by the Federal Govern- ment with never a thought oi com- pensation on these transactions to the Atlantic Provinces.
