C.C.F. leader 0n. Public Ownership

(n; Canadian Press Staff writer)

- SPRINGHILL, N. S., May l8 - (CP) —- C. C. I". leader M. J. Caldwell said tonight his party. i1 elected, will nationalize the Cana- dian Pacific Railway. However, it would not amalgsmste the C. P. R. with the government-operated Ca- nadian National Railways.

Mr. Caldwell discussed O C. I‘. transportation policies in a politic- si campaign address here and re- ferred to remarks made last night in Tturo, N. 5., by Progressive Con- servative leader George Drew, who said nationalization would mean complete amalgamation of all lines in Canada and would seriously affect employment in many rail- way centres.

“The C. O F. proposes that the C. P. R. should be brought under national ownership, as Ia the C. N B...” Mr. Coldwell said.

"We do not believe, however, that the systems should be amal- gamated for we feel that they could best serve the people cf Ca- nada as two operating units com- peting on equal terms."

He added that "with an increas- ing population and an expanding economy such as we would expect under a C. O. F. government, our railway services should be fully utilized and indeed expanded."

“Under social ownership, wages and working conditions on the.rail- roads as in other industries would be the subiect for collective bargaining between management and free-trade unions. The O. C. P‘. policy on transportation calls for the integration when possible of railroad. water and air services so that each service would be used most effectively in the economy.

“The railways, of course. must be preserved for heavy traffic. Other services, particularly truck- ing. should be used to feed the main rail 1181M."

P.-C. leader Speaks Af Fredeiicfon

(B! Canadian Prom Staff Writer)

FREIDEBICTON. May 18—(CP) - George Drew, Progreggivo con. servativc leader. told a political filly in this New Brunswick cap- ital today that one of the issues in the June 2'7 election will be the question of whether Canada can be administered from one central point.

M413 DrflW. 0n a coast-to-ooast Federal election campaign tour said:

“One of the things that will be an issue in the election will be the question of whether Canada 0511 b! Iwemed by one govern- ment or whether we are to have government close to the people."

Mar. Drew spoke later at Mc- Adann, NB. and st. Stephen, N3. He arrived here by car after tra- velling from Amherst, NS, to Saint John, N.B., by train. He said he believed his listeners would agree that the closer the govern- ment was to people the better it was.

The Progressive - Conservative Party believed in s. strong central government w deal with national and international affairs. It be- lieved that the provinces and municipalities should be given

powers and funds to carry out their responsibilities. Mir. Drew, former premier of

Ontario. took issue with state- ments mad-e during die last ses- sion of the New Brunswick. legis- laturo by Premier John McNair.

Mr. McNair had used the legis- lature for s "personal political at- tack on me".

"He had used the legislature as a sounding board for a perfectly political speech" on Donainion- Provincial relations.

Mr. Drew said that at the Dc- mInion-Provlncial 1945-46 conifer- ence he had moved that a co-or- diinating committee and an econ- omic committee be established to deal with Dominion-Provincial p. ‘ . s.

He wondered if Mir. MoNsir for- got that he had voted in favor of both committees.

Mr. Drew said it was suggested that at tho conference he lied sought special advantages for Ontario. The record showed. he said. that the Ontario 80119111- ment had urged a pooling of na- tional resources so that all Plftl of the country might benefit from the prosperity of the Dominion l»! s, whole. The Ontario government had suggested a division of the taxation of head offices located in Ontario. ‘The Federal government declined to accept Ontario's pm- posals and had adjourned the con- ference. A Progressive ccmserva- tive- government would reconvene that conference. ‘ft would see that New Brunswick would receive bet- ter (so-operation and 511900" 5mm the Federal government.

Seeding Off To Early Sfarf This Season

(By The Canadian Press)

Oalhdien farmers, of! to about s two-week early start in stoning this veer. are hoping for a bump- er crop. » '

flight wlnrtsr snowfall and an early spring might blight chances for s big crop but along dry spell which threatened to have a serious effect on Saskatchewan and Alberta crops ended Monday night and ‘Iluesdey.

“Million dollar" reins fell on Saskatchewan in the wake of Monday nimht’: moot widespread downpour of the year. In scene sections where seeding was tus-

ed by the drought farmers were ebl. to get on with the job. m other sections farmers looked to the rain to slow the advance of graeshoppuw.

Light rain and sleet showered Central and Southern Alberta biringing moderate relies to the dry

crops.

A Press survey of seed- ing progress shows fairly satisfac- tory conditions in all other prov- inces.

Throughout tho west a sharp rise in wheat acreage and decline in the acreage of other principal grain crops is reported. Canadian farmers will seed about 29965200 acres to wheat this year, nearly 3.000000 sores more than last year.

Freak weather conditions which plagued farmers throuighou-t mid. , estern North America this win- er caused seeding delays at a fow Southern Manitoba points where heavy winter snowfall delayed spring operations about a‘ week. However, in other sections of the province seeding began soon ef- tcr mid-April.

Favorable crop prospects are reported for British Columbia where winter damage was slight. Oiraterio’: crop pictluro ls a happy one. Excellent growing Iweat-hcr has speeded seeding and in many parts of the province fields of spring grain are already green. Recent cool weather and heav- ler-than-ileual rainfall have slow- ed up seeding in Quebec Province. Sowing has just got under way in the Montreal region and in other sections of Quebec. Total farm eoreego there will be about the same as last 6,000,000 acres. two-thirds of which will be devoted to hay and clover.

Anticipated acreage of other crops. with lest year's figures in brackets: _

‘Wheat 24030 (21,000): oats ‘l,- 3.880.000 (1,478,020); 11c 14-600 (8,- 400); potatoes 1160.000 (153.0130); 11M’ a clover, 4.000.000 (‘4.C00.000); PM! 10.000 (16,810); beans 12500 (l2.- bm); buckwheat 75,000 (15,100) tur- nips, 22,000 tzzsoo); aliens. eeooo (05,300); fodder corn. 106.1113 (103.- eon).
