Says Cov’t Policies Led To Price Advances

OTTAWA, Jan. 22 — (CP) .- John Bracken. Progressive Con- servative leader. charged tonight that Government 110110.85 had made it possible for speculators and piofiteers to increase food prices in Canada.

Mr. Bracken said that ‘when Parliament met last month the Government announced that "new food contracts at higher prices had been signed with Britaim

some two weeks after the ses- sion adjourned Agriculture Minis- ter Gardiner dlsclosed the new prices and it was shown they were about 25 per cent higher than in the previous contracts.

"The Government had announ-I ced that prices would be more-ESP ed." said Mr. Bracken. “But it was many days before it told what the increased prices would be. Are any of ua surprised when the Govern- ment set sllch, a stage for the spe- culator and the profiteer that some people took advantage of it?

Plane Makes Mercy Flights

By JACK AVESON

. Jan. 22 — (OP) — External Affairs Laurent tonight made a strong plea for national unity through practical application e1 constitu- tionei laws.

Earlier, he indicated to report- ere that he was prepared to ec- cept future leadership of the na- tionel Liberal Party _ if it is free- iy offered him.

‘The unity about which r am tllki-nl is not the kind shown on the statute books but the kind whfcir1nakes"""every"canadfan”glad he is a Canadian," he said in a speech lo the annual convention o the Manitoba- Liberal Progressive Party.

"National unity is possible and desirable only if all our citizens. descended from the two prncipal races of our population. and our other citizens as well, enjoy a sit- uation of absolute equality, equal- ity not only in the text o1 our constitutional laws but practical equality in the daiy applicafon of these laws." ‘

His address was the first deliv-

v ered in Western Canadn gince he

was elected to Commons by Que- bec electors in February, i942.

No direct reference to his possible candidature for Federal leadership was made in his speech tonight al. though political observers consid- ered it significant that he spent considerable time discussing the KTOWUHQI Liberalism under s5;- Wilfred Laurier. ‘

In this connection Mr. st. Laur- ent slid: "I am not the one‘ who i5 trying to wrap Laurlers mantle B5911! hlm- It is the whole Liberal Party, from one ocean to the other, that is proud to be enfolded in this mantle because we ell rising that as ‘long _as"we remain faith- ful to the memory and policirg o; this great Canadian. we will be wisely and usefully tending to the pest interest of the canadign “a-

on."

Then he added: "I think the Liberal Party made one or the first great steps (in the.directinn or national unity) when it chose Wil- frid Lsurier. a French-speaking Cathol c. as the leader of all the Liberals from the Atlantic to the Pacific."

A plane from Paul's Flying Ber- vioe, Charlottetown, made two nwroy flights yesterday, bringing patients from South Rustlco to the Charlottetown Hospital for treatment. A ski-equipped Fleet Canuok was flown, and s field near the Rustico convent was used as an emergency airstrip.

On the first trip, with Pilot Ralph Yeo at the controls, a ornail boy, Eugene Gallant. was taken to the City. The llttio fellow. six or seven years old, was suffering from an acute attack of appendicitis. He was operated on shortly after he reached the hospital in mid-after- noon and later in the night his condition was reported to be good.

‘ilhe second patient was a man. Dolph Gallant, suffering frcm In- juries to his right foot. It was not learned how the accident occurred.

0n the second flight Paul Shar- e. proprietor of the Flying o0 flew the plane. A third fligiht was made to the same place to take in the father of the boy.

Mr. Sharpe said yesterday's thaw

made landing on the snow-covered field eomewi-lst tricky, but they had

no trouble. With roads from Hunter River to itustlco blocked to oars, bite trip

from Rustico to Charlottetown with

the boy would have been difficult and dangerous. Ae it Wis the flight took only inn mlnuteei and en am- bulance was waiting for ids-n at the Charlottetown Airport.
