The Premier said that he would withhold further com- ment “until the Government of Canada proposes legislation to provide the amount of money, or until they have it in their estimates at Ottawa.”

On the basis of the figure given by Premier Matheson it would mean that Prince Ed- ward Island would get $2,343_. 900. as its share of the Feder- al assistance grant.

OTTAWA (CP) — Prime Min- ister Diefenbaker .Moncl-ay night stirred Liberal party anger by charging that Lester Pearson, had. made “seldom even an obli- que reference to the Common- wealth” when he was external af- fairs minister.

Mr. Pearson, his face flushed, stood up and said: _,

‘.'Th-at statement is contempt!- bly inaccurate.”

Mr. Diefenbaker’s statement was also met by cries from Lib- eral benches of “shame,” “with- draw” and “that’s a lie.“

Replying to Mr. Pearson, the prime minister said the new Op- position leader need only re-read his speeches during the Suez cri- sis in October, 1956, “and he'll find out that the facts are ex-

All Nova Scotia Highways Are Open Again

HALIFAX (CP)—All Nova Soo- tia highways were open again Monday, some with temporary bridges, as the Maritimes contin- ued to map up following the sea- son’s worst storm.

Some rail lines were still knocked out—and they will be_for a week or so—but as flood wat- ers slowly recede, workmen can start the big job of repairing d-amage. - Five died in the 2%-day wind and rain storm that ended Fri- day night, two of them children.

Mr. MacKay explained that the Department watches the weather conditions very closely and when there has been a soft period and there seems to be no let up in it, restrictions are put on.

These restrictions, he said, automatically come off when the temperature goes down to 20 de- grees. “We had to have some starting point and past experience has shown us that this is a logical standard to go by.”

Mr. MacKay said the cost of pavement maintenance in the Province has now reached $1,000 per mile and observed, “I be- lieve this is our saturation point”.

“I, don't know where anybody got the idea the Trans Canada Highway is an all-weather high- way. We have never represented it as such and while it is much more substantial than our ordin- ary pavement, it is still vulner- able to overloading,” said the minister.
