S'side Electric Plant Rates Hearing Before Utilities Bd.

A sharp increase in the number of rural subscribers from 285 in 1940 to 760 last year was pointed out in the brief nled yesterday on behalf of the Town of summerside before the Public Uutilitiu Com- mlmion. The Town is seeking an an increase in rates on electricity supplied by its plant. to rural users

During the some period men- tloned the rural kilowatt hour consumption Jumped from 177.43 in the first named year to w9,l0f2 in IOLW.

The Oommisio , with Judge C. St.iClalr Trainor presiding. heard considerable argument between op- posing counsel regarding the "hook up" charge of 5150 and the possi- bility of this being refunded to the consumers. Mr. H. Prank McPhse. Q.c., appearing for the Town of summerside. maintained that the town plant has been losing money on its rural operations despite the fact the consumers are willing to pay more for the service. He thought this should be considered as a. factor in any decision re- garding rates which the Commis- sion might reach.

Preferred Customers

Mr. A. Wall-hen Gaudet. counsel for several of the rural areas in- volved, asked if new rates went into efiect would there be any pre- ferred consumers outside the Town. Mr. MdPhee felt that what hap- pened within a municipality had no bearing on the matter at all

and was outside the scope of the current inquiry. Judge Tralnor re- marked that if power were given away the people of a town could always have recourse to the polls to egpreas their displeasure. Mr. Gnu et replied that he did not wish to see the rural subscribers put in the position of subsidizing the Town, and asked if the elec- tric sign at Reads Corner was getting electricity free.

The brief presented by Mr. Mc- Pheo stated that last year the Town 10-12 over 32.000 on its rural operations rather than making ap- Pfoxlmllzely 314.000 prortlt. based on the allowable earnings rate of "flit percent. The brief did not ask for a Commission ruling regarding permission to make up this loss, but Mr. McPhee pointed out that the Public Utilities Commission of Alberta did make a favorable de- cision in a similar case before it recently.

llural nmlngs Base

He said that the Town's engin- eers had advised that the proposed new rates would yield the author- ized rats of return on the rural earnings base. It was anticipated that extensions of the rural ser- vice would mean a decrease in the average of 9.4 users per mile, and this would automatically add to the fixed costs of distribution.

For the purpose of rate fixing for rural areas a plant depreci- ation value was arrived at by the ratio of rural output to total out-

WASI-lllING'.l.OlN. (OP) - State Secretary John Foster Dulles pre- dicts that"S0vlet despotism" event- ually will fall asunder under the Unitod states taking the lead in fostering a "longing for freedom" among captive peoples behind the Iron Curtain.

Dulles charted Thursday a new policy of dealing with Russia "on a barrel basis, where we get what we bargain for on the barrel head."

Meeting Only Conjecture

Dulles also commented that talk of a possible meeting between Premier Stalin is "entirely in the realm of conjecture."

Dulles appealed to Congress to rally solidly behind the adminis- tration': proposed resolution to de- nolmce Moscow's enslavement of hapless nations in Europe and Asia.

By implication, he sought to head off any Republican move to rewrite the resolution to repudiate secret agreements with Russia negotiated by past Democratic ad- ministrations under Franklin D. Roosevelt or Harry S. Truman. some Republican legislators have criticized the resolution for not striking out at such controversial pacts as the second World War agreements at Yalta and Tehran and the post-war Potsdam Treaty.

Senator Robert Tail. of Ohio, ' , "" -- floor leader in the Senate, told reporters he thought the senate would spell out lang- uage ln the resolutions making it clear that Congress never approv- ed the Yalta-Tehran-Potsdam pacts, Such language. however would not repudiate the pacts.

Pleads For Unity

illchoing nisenhowsrs press con- ference statement Wednesday against raking up dead ashes of the act, Dulles urged legislators not to split among themselves over whether past democratic adminis- trations were "foolishly begulled by Soviet promises."

Republican and Democratic mem- bers of the House committee al- most unan-lmously praised Dulles and Iupplauded the . lution.

New Markets There For The Developnlelll

OTTAWA. (CP)- Canadian bus- iness men were urged by TNF10 Minister Howe Thursday "to devel- op new markets in Latin America.

"The opportunities are there. and it is up to us to make sure they are grasped and developed," said Mr. Howe.

Reports On Tour

He spoke in the Commons during the wide-ranging budget debate and reported on his recent five- week goodwill trade tour of nine Latin American countries with a group of Canadian business men.

The mission visited Brazil, Ar- gentina, Uruguay. Venezuela. Co- lombia, the Dominican Republic. Haifa, Cuba and Mexico.

"wherever we went. we found the keenest desire to increase trade with Canada. and particularly to develop direct trade with Canada, as against indirect trade through third countries." said Mr. liowe.

The mission was impressed by the fact that Canadats trade with Latin America can be greatly ex- panded.

Job For Business Men

"This is a job that must primar- ily be done by Canadian business men themselves." said Mr. Howe. "There is no substitute for person- al, direct. on-the-spot contacts and relations.

"I would most strongly urgb senior Canadian business men to go to the countries of Latin America and see for themselves what-new fields are open to them

Donald Fleming (PC-Toronto Eglinton) said Mr. Howe had -pre- rented a "report glowing with up- timistic hope for the future."

Mr. Fleming urged government action to help Canadian farmers regain traditional markets in the United Kingdom.

Mr. Howe said Canada's exports totalled 54,400.000,000 in 1952, an increase of SA00.000,000 over the record of 105l.i Almost all the in- crease was in exports to overseas countries.

"Canada's policy is to build up a sound exchange of commodities with every country in the world," he said. "In this we are succeeding to a remarkable degree."

In 1938 Canada's trade with Latin America amounted to 333.- 000.0043. In i952 it totalled 5560,- 000,000.

"We are natural trading part- ners, each in need of what the other can supply,” he said.

The trade mission had not un- dertaken the trip to sign or re- vise trade ngrecments. but many of the business men in the mission concluded on the spot. arrange- ments lor further business.

Shortage 0f Nurses Stressed

The great difficulty of filling positions on the nursing staff. as well as the lack of sufficient bed capacity to meet requirements, was emphasized by Mr. N. D. MacLean. chairman of the board of trustees of the Prince Edward Island Hos- pital. at the board's annual meet- ing last night.

Mr. MacLean was re-elected chairman of the Board for the next three years. with Mr. J. H. l-lowattfvice chairman and Mr. J. A. Likely. secretary-treasurer, also re-elected to their respective posi- tions for a similar term.

Judges H. L. Palmer and Mr. Harper MacNeill. both of whom had been appointed to fill unex- pired terms, were conlflrmed in their appointments by vote at the meeting.

p OTTAWA. (GP)-Donald Flem- IHE. (PC-Torontci-iEgllntoni)" said Thursday the Canadian Govern- menlfs 1953-54 budget was "con- ceived in a political atmosphz.-c and begotten out of necessity." Speaking during continued de- bate on the budget presented to the Commons Feb. 19, he descrbed the government's financial propos- als as the "sunset budget."

He called it a "pale and anemic reflection" of the "sunshine bud- get" before the 1949 election.

It was "dismal, very tawdry, very pale. very ghostly counter- part" of the 1949 presentation. The government was "practising handouts on a grand scale." Tax- payers had been "wilfully soaked" so pre-election tax cuts could be made.

After the lsjill reductions. Mr. l-"leming said, the government had resumed the practice of taxing at "extortionate" rates. It had piled up big surpluses. as the result of

To keep objectionable material from the young, censorship might be necessary. If it was. the cen- sorship should be at the provincial level "because what might be ac- cepts-bie to one province might not be acceptable elsewhere in Can- ads." The Presbyterian Church, with it membership of more than 800.- 000, believed that laws aimed at curbing publications as a possible source of juvenile delinquency should be directed towards foster- ing parentol reoponsibili-ty for c4hil- dren. . .

Educational Objectives im

live Outlined

"In life it is judgment that is more important than facts." Dr. R. C. Wallace. retired principal of Queen's University, said last. night as he delivered the fourth annual Samuel Robertson Memorial Lec- ture at Prince of Wales College.

Dr. Wallace pointed out to a highly interested audience that while it is easy to learn facts. -or -at least learn where to -obtain them, it is difficult to possess one- self of sound Judgment. He was speaking on the general theme of "Education for Living", and re- minded his listeners that a mind has to be disciplined by hard training.

The distinguished speaker was introduced by Premier J. Walter Jones who said that a simple reci- tation of the college degrees pos- sessed by Dr. Wallace would be an ample introduction as they told of the educational attainments. The evening was opened by Dr. Frank Macxinnon. principal of the col- lege, who said the Premier would tell of the speaker. However. he asked Dr. Wallace to take back to Queen's University the thanks of this Province and of Prince of Wales College students for the new scholarship made available to local graduates. This was announced re- cently in honor of Dr .W. E. Mc- Neill. an Islander and a former vice-principal of Queen's Univer- sity as well as a graduate of Prince of wales College.

With traces of a. soft Scotch burr in his voice Dr. Wallace fre- quently referred to his native heath and told several mlrth-pro- voklng stories about it.

Tribute To Dr. Robertson

in his opening remarks Mr. Macxinnon spoke briefly of the late Dr. Samuel Robertson, long- time teacher and principal of the college. He said that the out- standing thing about the late edu- cator was his strength of charac- ter which he was able to pass on to his students and made him a figure long to be remembered in college lilo.

At the beginning of his lecture Dr. Wallace traced his theme from early geological days to the Pie!- ent. and suggested that perhaps he should have titled hLs talk "edu- cation for a better life". lie re- marked on the extraction of the secrets of the atom and called our present position one of power over power. He also said that the peoples of the world were grolllns for international understanding.

House. (Flier Construction At New teak

OITAWA, (OP) - Canada's in- vestment program for 1053. aided by an anticipated increase in house building and other construc- tion, likely will reach a record of 5,421,000,000, Trade Minister Howe astlmmtes. This compares with 35,- l22,000.000 in 1952, an increase of nearly s300,000,000.

He predicted Thursday tlhat more money will be emtpioyed for ex- pansion in trade, finance and com-

mercial enterprises, as well as min- '

lng and oil drilling. Housing, hos- pital, university, church and other institutional construction will be greater.

Declines Expected

Investment declines were estim-i ated for agriculture. fishing and other primary industries as well as manufacturing. However, invest-I ment by various governments imuld be higher.

Mr. Howe made the prediction in a 22-page booklet, tabled in the Commons, on the outlook of priv- ate and public irwestment. The forecast. if fulfilled, would raise

total investment in Canada since ,

the second World War to s30,000- 000,000. It was based on question- naires sent to industry asking for investment intentions during the ear.

Construction Peak

The survey showed that a peak S3,-132,000,000 is being planned for new construction. up from 33.157.- 000.000 in l952. In. t t in new machinery and equipment is ex- pected to reach 31.989.000.000, up from s1.9a5,ooo,ooo last year.

"A carpital expenditure program of this magnitude would absorb about 23 per cent of the gross na- tional production expected in the current year." Mr. Howe aaid. "'n1ls proportion. too, is a record for the post-iwn.r'perlod.” 3 '

On budget nieiht. Feb: 19. Finance Minister Abbott forecast 1053 gross national production-value of all goods and services produced - at a peak of 324.000.000.000. up from 323.000.000.000 last year.
