Debate On Controls

Commons

By GEORGE. KITCHEN

OTTAWA. Dec. 11 -- (OP) — A fresh debate on controls flared in the Commons today as the Gov- ernment moved adoption of a res- olutlon seeking extension of war- tlmewamergency powers for three months beyond their expiry date of Dec. S1.

The motion promptly mot a. broadside of criticism from the Progressive Conservative opposi- tion but was generally supported by the 0.0.1". and Social Credit parties.

Justice Minister Ilsloy, its mover, said the Govern: “nt had not de- clded how many of the controls on prices and other commodities still in effect need be continued be- yohd March 31. the date to which the Government would have the powers extended. v

In a nutshell, the resolution constitutes an address asking the Governor-General to extend the National mcmergency ‘rransitlonal Powers Act. which provides auth- ority for control measures.

As the debate opened. John Bracken. Progressive Conservative leader. declared his party to be opposed to the principle of con- trols "except under very emergent conditions". charged that the Gov- ernment was ‘deliberately trying to cents-alias power in Ottawa to the detriment of the Provinces." M“). Caldwell, c311‘- leader, sup- ported tho resolution and said it should be extended even beyond March 31 while Solon Low, Social Credit leader, said his group rec- ognized that in times of emergency the Government needed both long and short-term policies.

Another piece of emergency leg- islation came before the House in n bill, given first reading, to give legislative force to the prohibi- tions and quotas.- placed on im- ports under the austerity program which became effective Nov. 17.

The bill itself disclosed that the import of structural steel. except on import permits, will be prohib- itcd.

At the House opening, Alistair Stewart (COR-Winnipeg North) tabled a petition signed by some 41.000 trade unionists and asking for the rev-imposition of price ceilings and the re-establishment or subsidies on food and farm products.

Later, Agriculture Minister Gar- diner told the House negotiations for the renewal of Anglo-Canad- ian food contracts were "proceed- ing" and said he had heard noth- ing of a report that a British mis- sion here for the talks was going home. '

Touching off the powers debate. Mr. Bracken charged that Par- liament had been called into ses- sion simply to "act an ‘rubber stamps" to what the Government already had done. The emergency powers would have continued in effect until March 81 in any event but for the Government's "ml:- handling."

HON. DB. Wall’. MACMILLAN Progressive Conservative Elected in 5th Queen's

Statements By Party Loaders

The following statement was ll- sued to The Guardian last evening by Premier J. Walter Jones:

“Tile Liberal success today ls the fourth successive victory since i935. Today's election was intense- ly fought, especially in the rural rldlngs. The new austerity pro- gramme was s handicap vtopfur- thersuccesseo. ‘ '

"One cause of the great interest was the season of the yebr when theelectlon was held. Farmers are not rushed with work and the eve- nings are long and the radios prac- tically everywhere. The Press was a great factor as usual and it was used extensively. but the former Liberal paper in Charlottetown ran a campalzn against the Govern- ment which possibly affected tli." results in the Eastern part of P.E.I. and Charlottetown where it’ is principally circulated. _ i

"We feel the victory is a recog- nition of the Government's record and a stron vote for the inten- tions of th Government as ex- pressed in its platform and the personnel of the Gowernrnent.

“With Dr. W.J.P. MacMillan sitting opposite. the country is safe in its Opposition and the House would be different lfbe were not there with his extensive experience."

HON. DR. MACMILLAN .

Progressive Conservative leader Dr. W.J.P. MacMillun made this statement last night:

"The people of Prince Edward Island have spoken. Prom their votes they are cvidenUy satisfied with the serious economic condi- tions of our farmers. Tbev are ev- idently satisfied with their burden of income and other taxes. And l am satisfied and will abide by this decision."
