He said one of the recommend- ations of that Commission was that each Pro '-ce should have enough revenue at its command. under :ll circumstances to carry out all phases of Government ea- trusted to it.

The "ommission also recom- mended that provincial debts could be handled more advant- ageously by the Federal Govern- ment because it could float loans at a better rate.oi interest than the Provinces. -

"These recommendations were never carried out by the Federal Government. they were all wash. ed up at the .1945 conference. I believe the Federal Government was wrong at that time," he said,

Among other things the Com- mission felt it was not wise to make grants specifically ear marked for education.

The Premier said this Province lost several hundred thousand dol- lars when the gross national ipro- duct dipped. He said we would regain this amount when the G NP came back up again.

Questloninz on the part of Op- position Leader R.R. Bell featured second reading of two Acts for raising money on the credit of Consolidated funds which came under discussion in the Legislature yesterday.

Both bills were introduced by the Provincial Treasurer. Hon. .

The second bill asked for per- mission to raise 31,250,000 to take 53;; of maturing' debentures in
