were. he said, more encouraging and afforded no ground for pess- imism.

The Premier was also hopeful that this Province would at last receive some recognition for the ievenues accruing from Canada's northern lands. He raised this point at the conference before read- ing his prepared text which was published in full in The Guardian on October ii. and he had reason to believe that it will be considered sympathetically.

g MARITIMES SHOULD SHARE

Premier Flemming had made reference to the northern lands given to provinces other than the Maritimes, and Premier Matheson took the opportunity of recalling, on the authority of Mr. Justice A. E. Arsenauit, former Premier of this Province. a statement made several years ago by the then Quebec Premier, Sir Lomcr Gouln. This statement was to the affect that if the northern lands ever

Premier Matheson told the con- ference he .ealized.that these lands had cost the provinces to whom they were allotted large sums of money in development, which should be repaid. But the lands belonged. not to these prov- int-es but to the people of all of Canada. and they should be re- stored on that basis.

Inmakiog this proposal Premier lliiatheson told The Guardian he had in mind. not a lump sum to Prince Edward Island by way of compensation. which he believed could easily be obtained, but a continuing grant to be paid from year to year on the basis of our share in the northlands future development.

LONDON lAPl-Princess Mar- garet and Peter Townsend held a rendezvous Friday night in a ro- mantic country house belongi to one of her cousins-deep in the heart of Windsor forest.

Just before they met the princess appealed to the press and public to respect her privacy. This appeal was part of a Royal Family state ment saying no announcement of the prlncess' plans is "at present" contemplated.

Neither the royal statement nor the rendezvous did anything to dim- inlsh persistent reports that the vivacious princess will wed the di- vorced war hero. But it may dampen somewhat the frenzied spe- culation in London's headlines over the events of the last three days. The British press is sensitive to

Great concern had been express- ed by many. especially those con- cerned with the heavy movement of potatoes from the Island. when

French Deputies Reflect On Faure's Political Fate

lthe vote of confidence on his ability

to carry out Algerian reforms. The request immediately suspended the debate. The assembly then decided to vote Tuesday.

This was the first time in his term of office-now a little less than eight months-that Faure had resorted to the confidence issue to swing hesitant supporters into line.

As of Friday, the outlook for Faure was bleak. Barring sudden switches of opinion during the weekend visits of the deputies to their home constituencies. there- secmed to be almost no way for the premier to get a majority.

Faure's supporters can cite sev- eral reasons against overthrow of the government now:

1. The vote is on France's policy toward Algeria, a North African area considered by Frenchmen in integral part of France. When the United Nations assembly decided to debate the troubles in Algeria the French delegation walked out. A vote now against the government for its Algerian policy might imply repudiation of the walkout.

reality.

Works Minister Winters. it was learned Friday. is writing provin- cial highway ministers suggesting an Ottawa meeting in November. Primary consideration will be re- newal of the federal - provincial highway agreement signed in 1949 and including all provinces except Quebec. It is due to expire in De-

cember, I956.

INVITE QUEBEC

Although not in the agreement, Quebec is expected to be invited in the hope the provincial govern- ment may have changed its mind. Premier Duplessis has declined to sign mainly on the ground the agreement didn't provide sufficient safeguards for provindal rights- Under the constitution the prov- inces control the highways.

The present agreement provides that the provinces construct allot- ted mileages of the highway within their boundaries. The federal gov- crnmeni is committed to match provincial outlays up to I max- imum total of S150,000.000 by De- cember, 1956. It was hoped when

the agreement was signed that the highway would be completed by that time.

The target now has gone by the board. Federal officials admit the highway won't even be nearly half finished by the time the agreement expires.

1.223 MILES DONE

Figures up to Aug. 31 this year show 1,223 of the total 4,500 miles of highway completed to federal standards.

Ontario with 1,412 miles of high- way route to construct, had paved 329 miles. Saskatchewan had paved 271 of its allotted 414 miles; A!- berta 187 of 292 miles and British Columbia 174 of 692 miles.

Paving completion of allotted mileages for the other provinces at Aug. 31 were Manitoba 130 of 309 miles; New Brunswick 58 of 388 miles and Prince Edward Island 52 of 74 miles.

Newfoundland had done no pav- ing on its allotted 610 miles but had completed grading of almost 200 miles of trans-Canada highway system.
