start these plants should be prepar- ed to put a considerable amount of their own capital into the projects. There is quite a bit of money to be made by those who wish to slart but any person who begins an in- dustrial development must know what he is about.

Farmer's Situation

Getting back to the agricultural industry he stated that the situa- tion of the farmer was not as set- ious as had been mentioned by the Leader of the Opposition and he quoled a Canadian Bank of Com- merce report dated October, 1953. iii which it stated that the Can- adian farmers income during the first half of the year was only down one per cent from the correspond- ing time in 1952 and five per cent below that of 1951. The inocme from the sale of potatoes was down twelve and half million dollara in 1953 from t e 1952 level,

He also quoted the February lu- view of the Bank of Nova Scotia in which it stated that the growth of surpluses was noticeable in the United states and that a high sup- port price was undoubtedly a major factor. In the some report it was stated that the blooms of the Can- idlfn farmer declined lurprizlngly

tt c.

He stated that the drop in in- come in Prince Edward Island was due to s. reduction in the price of potatoes but noted that the support given to the Marketing Board by the Dominion Government will bring in a considerable amount of money to the farmers of the Prov- ince.

The Premier stated that an.a.m- biiious advertising program was be- ing undertaken to promote the tourist industry. i"We in Prince Ed- ward Island have attractions equa.- ly as good if not better than those in other Provinces if they were advertised as well," he stated. "The sea shore and general quiet of the Province should be emphasised more. We have the shore. sands, and summer air that you can't beat anywhere."

He stated that there will be a pooling of the advertising resources of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and P .E. I. as a result of the Premiers conference in Moncton last year. A film of the Province was made last year and will soon be ready for release on screen and television. he stated. I

The Premier admitted that the roads were not conducive iosidlng the tourist ind , at this time of year. However. in connection with the roads he suggested that a few roads. on which there were few or no people living. should be left as they are. "Let us keep some of them as we know these years ago." he stated. We can have our paved roads and our gravelled 0 ; roads but a few of those old Mada will be of great benefit to the tour- ist trade."

Tollfll Loans

speaking of the Opposition Lead- er's criticism of the manner in which tourist loans were handled. he stated that than was too much laxity in conjunction with the handling of loans in the past and

Province. the Premier stated as he. branched onto the subject of roads..' The highway is being built on a 50-50 basis with the Dominion Gov-l ernment and this means quite ,a substantial expenditure for a Province the 8iZEi(iI P.E.I H'J'xV.,l.”..'l. we must connect Charlottetown and Summerslde and the Provinceas a whole with the outside.

"It has been said that we can not build a road over the hills. Of; course we can." he said in answer to his own statement.

"You disagree with your pre- decessor." interjeclcd the Leader of the Opposition.

”Yes, we have disagreed before now but always friendly disagree- ments," replied the Premier.

By building the highway through Churchill. New Haven and Com- wa.ll the Premier pointed out that the Government would get sub-

stantial refunds for the road It-, It

ready there. "If we go from Bon- shaw to Canoe Cove we get no re-. funds. If we go by Bonshaw we would have to start at Disable. We are at Bcnahaw now and must make the best of it from there."

He stated there was a very sub- sta.nt1al bridge at West River at present. "If a new bridge were to be constructed it would be about four miles from the present one and two bridges so close together over one small river would be un- fair to the rest of the people of the Province."

"You won't build a causeway?" asked Dr. W. J. P MacMlllan.

A causeway may be the proper means to get across some of our rivers but if it is to be built won't be until we are absolutely certain." the Premier replied.

Throughout his speech the Pre- m:er pointed out that he was leaving the specific matters of the" various departments for con- sideration by the Ministers when they arose to take part in the debate. -

On the matter of education he stated that the Government was not interested in the old Idea of Regional High Schools. He stated that schools will be looked after In particular areas but not in reg- ional areas.

Tribute To B. D. U.

The Premier paid a fine tri- bute to St. Dunston's University on the occasion of their centen- nial year celebrations. "St. Dun- stan's has done splendid work in the field of education in Prince Edward Island. The whole gov- erning body of S. D. U. deserves ll great deal of credit for the pro- ducts they have turned out. In the past few years I think their work has been better 'Ihan ever and I look with a great deal of anticipation to their work in the future.

He spoke about the debating and athletic achievements of the college and pointed out that he always made it a point to attend the Saints games.

"We must educate our people as well as our profes- sional people". he stated. "There are many changes In the field of agriculture and there are bound to be more I.hope our Economic Development Council will be able to say you are doing this wrong or you should do this or that."

Speaking of the development of Industries he stated "The Cov-

"I believe we can get as much! action from Ottawa hy presenting our, problems honestly and ialtn-' fully, by putting before them cull needs and showing what we: want, not by taking them by the, throat," stated Premier Mntheson in reference to the Island's ef-l forts to get their fair share from the Federal Government.
