The Arrow Decision Was

Far From Unex

By John A. MacDonald. M.P.

. Within the last week the Gov- ernment has been called upon to make one of its most important “a ae since it has taken over

the administration of the country

Kk was @ question involving a major change in our National

Defence policy, and one which involved a great deal of money. The decision was suddenly but not entirely unex-

He had scarcely completed the first sentence of his statement termination, when a large segment of the Gallery could be seen moving out quick- ly te announce the news across the country as quickly as pos-

THE PICTURE On that morning in the Defen- ee Committee, of which I am a

member, we were fortunate to -hear a very complete and thoro-

ugh review of the Government defence policy, including that concerned with the Arrow aircraft. Some of the

Government.

From a military and economic standpoint, when ali the factors were taken into consideration, there could be no other choice. Naturally a great deal of sym-

pathy was felt for those who

would have to be relocated. but this was unavoidable.

The advance of the missile age has been phenomena! and left the Arrow, which is just coming inte production, already. out-dat- ed by present day military re- quirements. From a financial viewpoim the programme is not ene of millions but of billions of | dollars, and if continued would necessitate higher taxes in the

immediate future ;

Unfortunately the\ Company which had _ received periodic warnings that their programme might be terminated immediate- ly. discharged the personnel, even though they were protected against such precipitous action by funds to be allotted from the Government.

All in all it was a courageous move on the part of the Govern ment despite intensive lobbying by those interested in the pro- gramme. The arguments in fav- our of scrapping the programme far outweigh those for its con tinuance.

Immediate steps are being taken to provide alt em- ployment for #s many as pos- sible of the personnel who are faced with unemployment.

In the Army we had the famil- iar expression of ‘VIP's’ for those who made official calls at our Units. The designation meant very important person. In Par- liament we also have a distin- guished number of people from other lands who visit us for the purpose of an exchange of ideas, or merely on good-will tours.

Two of those who called early in the Session were the Speaker of the Legislature in Madras and the Deputy Speaker of the Indian House. We had an informal meet. ing with these two gentlemen who are highly qualified in which they explained ‘the particular function-of their own Legislatur- es, and allowed us to ask them questions concerning their Par- haments. They were well educat- éd and highly interesting person- alities, contact with whom pro- vides one with wider scope and knowledge of other and similar seats of Government.

One of the most notable visit- ors in some time was Willy Brandt, the Mayor of West Ber-| \lin, a young man who was a) freedom fighter in the last war, | | and who now stands with his peo- | iple as a strong bastion surround-| ed of He made a great impression on the Mem- bers and Sénators who attended the luncheon in his honor.

He impressed us all as a strong

of ability, and reminded us how fortunate we are to have a man of his type there in these trying times.

One Saturday recently a young High School student from Mont- real had the privilege of being accepted by the Prime Minister for a personal interview. Many write to Mr. Diefenbaker with this request and Bobby Bowker had written asking that he be! allowed an interview with the | Prime Minister, to assist him ip preparing a composition.

The Prime Minister granted | twe inutes of his time to eyes de his family, answered

many questions for him, and was ‘provided with a special guide to take he and his family through the "Parliament Buildings™ after the interview.

Many newspapers played up | the interview and young Bobby jwas asked his opinion of the | Prime Minister. His answer was contained in ong word “teriffie’’. Many a school boy would envy this young lad in his privilege of being classed among the distin- guished visitors and in having had a personal interview with the Head of our Government

Mr. Craswell also presented two pictures of General Mont- gomery’s visit to Charlottetown.

The thanks and appreciation of the Charlotietown branch was extended to Mr. Craswell on be- haluf of the members by the pre- sident.

Reference was made also ad the Paardeberg Day remem- brance service which will be| held Sunday next, March 1 at 12 noon in front of the South African war memorial. All vet- erans, as well as the general)

Caught in the middle of the debate was Honourable Lionel Chevrier. former Minister of Transport and former head of the Seaway Auth- ority. who was responsible for a great deal of the work.

The first estimates of this pro- ject was $205,000.000 and it now looks as if the.final fizure will be about $329,000,000. Due to the wide variation between the ini- tial estimates and the actual! costs there was a strong demand by the C.C.F. and many members on the Government side to pass this subject over to the Public Accounts Committee for inves- tigation.

WINTER CARNIVAL

Recently a group of Members from ali across Canada were in- vited to participate in the Win- ter Carnival held annually at Quebec City. On Friday evening we had a very pleasant trip by train arriving just on time to see the close of the Costume Ball at the Chateau Frontenac. It was a very colourful affair with many dressed in early Franch Canadian costumes of varying styles, such as one sees only in our history books.

On Saturday morning we were accorded a civic welcome by Mayor Wilfred Hammell. After dinner we were taken on a tour of the city which was gaily dec- orated for the occasion with much bunting and interesting figures made of ice.

On the Plains of Abraham the Army was carrying out a winter

|

low, and they had slept in tents there the night before. The sol- diers did not seem to mind the weather as they were adequately equipped with the best of army wimter clothing.

At night we were given places of honour at City Hall to watch the Street Parade. In the Parade were a number of bands with the bandsmen dressed in white.

The floats were all lighted and ; Very interesting and elaborate in their ‘construction.

Following the parade “there was dancing in the streets which was obviously enjoyed by the younger felk--even though the temperature reading was as stat-| ed above. ;

Sunday afternoon we were guests on the large Levis Ferry boat to watch the ice-boat races. These are thrilling events and the competition is very keen each year. The boats are some- what similar to those used in the early crossings from the main land to P.E.1. when the boatsmen have to cross ice and water in- termittently. Needless to say, it is a very hardy and virile form of sport.

The whole trip was a most in- teresting and enjoyable one, and all were high in praise of tne Que- bec City Members who sponsor- jd the trip and especially of Mr. Robert Lafreniere. M.P. who was in charge. Mr, Lafreniere spent several years altending St. Dunstan's in Charlottetown where he graduated shortly after the war.

She later assum- ed the duties of matron.

She exemplified the hizhest ideals of the nursing profession and was ever ready to answer the call of those who needed her services. The esteem in which she was held was testified by the large number of people who at- tended her funeral.
