adequate, M)‘. Hanson said.

The explanation that war prior- ities made it impossible to con- struct a new ierr or buy one was not good enough or Prince Edward Island, Mr. Hanson said.

He said Prince Edward Island had sent more volunteers to war than any other province‘ always was anion the first to attain loan and Red roes fund objectives and "has not had a lair deal at the hands of the Federal government in connection with this transpor- tation roblem."

Mr. anson read at length from the wreck commissioner's report on the sinking of the Charlotte- town in which the master was found to be at fault and his license sus nded for six months.

a Master was superannuated

at a pension of $1M e month, Mr. Hanson observed; and he ues- tinned the wisdom of “iewar ing" an officer found responsible for the loss of his ship. Mr. Michaud described the ferry service which has been carried on from I873 to ihe present time and declared it had been efficient and in compliance with tho Confedera- tion pied e.

He sai the ractice since the loss oi the harlottoiown had been to keep one of the “Scctisfl ferries operating in the Strait of canso as a stand-by for the old Prince Edward Island, in summer months, with an ice-breaker ready for emergency service in the win-

Only "two or three" days eer- vice liud been missed b) the Prince Edward Island. due to ice condi- tions, and it was handling more business than the larger Char- lottetown handled in 1940.

lurch In vain

Mr Michaud said the whole con- tinent had been searched in vain for a car ferry to be used as a standby. A new ferry would not cost less than $4,500,000.

Marine architects had been working on plans for e. new ferry oi the most modem type. A mod- ern icebreaker, Stalin, had been examined on the Pacific Coast, but it had nothing new for Canadian designers.

Under existing conditions ship- yards were needed for war pur- poses exclusively.

The present service was ade- quate but did not allow for dam- age to the present ferry.

The transport department had been authorized to provide l new ferry as soon as possible, and ex- penditures up to 83,000,000 was au- thorized by order-in-councii. The shi plans were being prepared. Bu when the plans were ready a shipbuildin yard to do the bu ld- ing would ave to be foundA pri- ority over war requirements would b needed

"It is s. uestion cf labor and

Col. Ralston said he wondered if Mr. Hanson was serious or had en aged in "some cheap political ac ion."

"I am serious," said Mr. Hans-

n

o .

Col. Ralston said Mr. Hanson should know every shipyard was engaged on war work. The need was so great that ships were taken off the beach and sails put on them. A new ferr would mean i0 cargo shi and ight escort ships would no be built.

Col. Balaton praised the Prince Edward Island people's contribu- tion to the war. and he knew their patriotism would make them pa- ient in respect to the ferry because of conditions.

A "Terrific Disaster“

Loss of the Charlottetown was "a terrific disaster.” A boat called the Baccements was found on the West Coast, but she could not stand the ice. Another was found in M11. waukee but also was unsuitable. Both the Prince Edward Island and the Charlottetown actieill were icebreskers. other possibilities had been investigated, and Col. Balaton said he had taken the view a new boat was indispeneible. _ If there were s very eerioug breakdown in the service in the winter icebreakera would have to be sent to me scene and cargo bvflie used. Actually there was a stand, at Censo N.8., and the vessel here was o a suitable type.

Some 500 shops in Canada were working on component parts for essential war and carco vessels to be used in the battle of the Atlan- tic-"the biggest battle of 1943. mark my words."

Dr. Grant said he supported Col. Ralstonls viewpoint on the ferry question.
