Mr. Ramsay made a strong plea for (unemployment insurance for farm labour. He said it was now the only labor force in Can- ada that was‘ denied the benefits of the U.I.C.. Act.
Less than five per cent of the farmers of the Island, he said were in a position to keep hired help the year around and it could hardly be expected that laborers would work on the farm with no provision for their unemployed periods when these benefits were ava-ilatble to them in other indus- tries.
I-Ion. M . lVIacDonald: “There will soon be plenty from industry to work on the farms."
C.C.F. LEADER
Regret was expressed by Mr. Ramsay over the defeat of Mr. M. J. Coldwell in the recent Fed- eral election. He observed that the C.C.F. Party would possibly never form a government in Can- ada but reminded the House that many of the suggestions made by the C.C.F. have been implement- ed by previous governments. "I believe Mr. St. Laurent was right when (he termed the C.C.F. ‘Lib- erals in a hurry.”
Congratulations to the Dief- enlbaker Government in its recent victory at the polls were voiced by the West Prince member. In regard to the proposed develop- ment of the norther lands which was one of the strong planks In the Conservative platform, Mr. Ramsay said this work’ would cost a lot of money but felt it could pay big dividends. SAME TREATMENT
He hoped that «t1he,Fede.raIl Gov- ernment while carrying out its northern program would not be unmindful of the needs of the Atlantic Provinces and that a (proportionate amount would be made av»ai«la-ble in the east for roads, bridges and industrial de- velorpment.

that the Province had received the two and a half million grant from the Federal Government “I know it was needed, but I ,feel that five million would have been much better,” he added.
He felt that the (sum of $5,000.- 000 would have been much more realistic in view of the large amounts which the province is contributing through tariffs to the large industrial firms of Upper Canada, many of them subsidiar- ies of American firms.
While on the subject of Federal (politics, Mr. Ramsay noted that the main plank in the Pearson plan was freer trade with United States and the United Kingdom. He felt this was a. necessity if the economy‘)-of Canada was to survive.
Turning to his own district of First Prince, the Liberal mem-bei said, “many people will try to tell you that nothing has been done in this district."
MANY TI-IINGS DONE
Enumera-ting some of the bene-
fits procured under the present adminilstration, he said practically all the‘vill'ages are now linked up with electricity. Last year 5 mi- les of line were added. _ He said all the schools in the district have been either remod- elled or rebuilt. Grade X11 has been added at Tignish and Alber- ton and Grade X1 at O’Leary. He noted that the district now has more hospitals than it had doc- tors a few years ago.
In highways, he said the dis- trict now has 60 miles of well built roads and he was pleased to note that the Minister of High- ways was to give first preference to the district in their road build- ing program of this year.
He also noted that 13 miles of pavement would be laid in the district along with additional pav- ing in A-ltberton and 0’Lea.ry. He said he would like to see paving into St. Louis which he described as‘ a thriving village.
WORLD AFFAIIRS
Turning to world affairs, Mr. Ramsay made a comparison of the elections held in t-he U.S.S..R. to those held in Canada. He ob- served that in Russia voter had to select one of the candidates approved by the Communist Party. In Canada there were four parties to choose from and the voter could make his own selection without fear of repri- sals.
Mr. Ramsay" noted that -the Western nations are putting most. of their (faith in the United Na- tions and in NATO but he also observed that most of the count- ries are spending all of their budget on national defence.
He said nations agreed with each other only when it was to their advantage to do so and felt that they -must look to a “Higher Power” than the U.N. if peace is to be maintained in the world.
