APEC Head Says industry Must Find Own Syolulion

"There is only one way to estab- llsh new industries or improve existing ones and that is to do it yourselves.” said Mr. 0. Nelson llann. executive director of APEC spedking at a Council meeting of'the Atlantic Provinces Economic Council in Charlotte- town last night, Mr. Keith Mac- dinnon presided.

"You have to find some man or maybe two men who can be ;hg spark plug that will start something going and when you do APEC will move in and give all the help we can." he Said-

Mr. Mann made reference to the canning plant in the St. John Valley. He said that Watson Jamer was the spark behind this move which started five years ago. "He was the spark plu8 there and you will have to find one here."

NOT A rnassusuc onour

He explained that APEC was not a pressure IT0IlP- They We" merely a coordinating body which. through the accumulation of data present certain facts to the Government or other inter- ested bodies so that the effort of a given community may be brought to a head if the Plan sug- geated is a feasible one.

The speaker said that the ef- forts of the organization were cur- failed by the lack of personnel and the lack of funds with which to operate. He, said he had stress- ed membership for a long time and felt that it was of no use for him to urge this angle further. "If you want APEC to do the job for whlch it is intended we must have: more funds. My' staff at precast consists of myself. I secy ret I and one other cf! wor-lzr. Our budget for the com- ing year is 350.000. Why are talking in terms of 850.0M'

should be talking about a hat in

million if we are going to ma headway,” '

nxracran MORE rnoonasl Mr. A. W. Gaudet could see

little difference in the pattern bf APEC and that of the Maritime

Board of Trade. He said that he actually expected .more action than has been forthcoming to date. ”When are we lilind i-0 lease the rails that the MB'l has been travelling on for so many years and do the type of research work that the organization is suir posed to do?" asked Mr. Gauthi-

Mr. Alan Holman said the reas- on why APEC has had to Work on voluntary committees was be cause there was not enough money coming in. He said that some businesses wondered wheth- er Island businessmen could con- tribute 32,500 to APEC in one year. He said he knew of one church which in one year raised 340.000 to buy a new organ. He said 32.500 should be only Del plots to the merchants of Prince Edward Island.

.Mr. Donald MacDonald asked whether it would be better to give a prospective industry pub- Ilcity before it started or to wait until it had been established. He felt that the mistake of giving out advance publicity in such a can had resulted in unfavorable re- action to a project which was mooted within the Province a year ago,

COULD BE DETRIMENTAL

Mr. Mann said he could see no advantage in advance publlcitv and felt that in most cases it would work to the detriment of the industry. He was of the opin- ion that the wishes of the pro- moter to have the work carried out In strict confidence should be respected. I .

Mr. Mann said that the APEC agricultural committee was study- ing the amount of money that could be made available to farm- ers through loans. He yeported that an agricultural economist would be hired for the summer and if , sible would be taken on

a permanent capacity.

In regard to the tourist indus- trv. Mr. Mann said the only sen- sible approach was to put to- gether the information at hand from the provinces and try to plug the gaps wherever they ex- isted. He paid tribute to the three

Maritime tourist directors who he said had done a splendid job of joint advertising.

THREE FACTORS

He said the three most import- ant factors in the business were good roads. good accommodation and good food. But it was neces- sary to find out in what other way tourists could be attracted here. -

Mr. Mann said the power com- mittee had definitely stirred the power producers to get together and pool their assets. As an ex- ample of this he made reference to the elect storm of last winter when the Nova Scotia Power company lent their resources to Prince Edward Island while the State of Maine did the same for New Brunswick.

"The very fact that APEC ex- ists has given people a faith and a hope that there ls.a remedy, we bdleve that the basic diffi- cultles in the economy of the Maritime! is the per castle in- come and the lack of investment. If we can raise both of these we have the answer," he said.

EMPRASIZES MEMBERSHIP

Mr. Mlcldnnon asked Mayor Stewart to say a few words It the meeting.

His Worship said he was in- tensely interested ln the discus- sions. "The crux of the situation is the lack of membership," he said. "If we sat sold on the idea then lets get hind it and sup- port it. Nelson Mann and one stenographer can't run APEC."

The Mayor was anxious to know what progress. if any. had been made to sell the Atlantic Provinces as a package deal in the tourist industry in so far as tourist steamshlps were concern- ed. He could see no reason why the steamship trade which caters to the West Indies could not be diverted here in the summer months. He visualized stops at Bras D'or Lakes. Cornerbrook and Charlottetown. Hotel accom- modations would be no problem

since the passengers lived aboard the ships.

The small. portly Russian lead- ers found their first warm wel- come at the Soviet embassy where Russian children crowded around them with bouquets. Beaming gen- lally. they went around patting the children with fatherly hands.

The keynote of their reception in London so far is brusque security. with police keeping the public at a distance.

But behind the scenes. social meetings between the British and Russian leaders appear cordial. It is still to be seen .how far this atmosphere will be strained by hard-hitting talks on such crucial problems as Communist arms sup- plies to the Middle East tinderbox and the reunification of Germany.

A REVIEW OF RELATIONS

Bnlgnnin. Khrushchev. the Com- munist party chief, Eden. and his

sat at a long mahogany table. With them were Jacob Malik. the Soviet ambassador to Britain, and Sir William Hayter. British am- bassador to Moscow.

First topic discussed was a comprehensive review of relations between Britain and the Soviet Un- ion since the Second World War.

Both sids have expressed eager- ness to lift the feelings between the two countries from the abyss into which they were plunged dur- ing the post-war Stalin regime.

Other topics at Downing street were trade. the possibility of es- tablishing normal contacts be- tween ordinary British and Rus- sian citizens. and the prospects of a new Anglo-Soviet fisheries agree- ment.
