Farmers Federation Clarifies Its Position

Seeks Benefits For P.El._l_lldlallS B

OTTAWA. March it (Special)- A.-surance that the New Federal Departmesit of Cltisenshlp and immigration would take measures to see that children of Iutians were given opportunity to go to school was sought here today by Senator J. P. Mclntyre of Mount Stewart. P.EJ. The issue arose when the Senate committee on im- migration and Labor was discuss- ing parliamentary esthrietae for 1950-51. '

senator Mclntyre pointed out that in certain localities some dis- tance trom Indian reserves. trua- tors of ordinary schools were re- luctant to allow lndian children to attend. taking the view that lndisns should be trained in schools of their own.

would the Federal Government. he salted. engage to see that these children hld opportunity for schooling. and if necessary pay fees for that training?

cltee Policy

I

Col. D. M. Meclfay. director of the Indian Affairs Branch explained that except for the Maritime Pro- vinces. it was not the policy of the Government to segregate Indian children in schools of their own reserves. He added that when treaty Indians are living at some distance from the nearest Indian school. the Government mates ar- rangement to’ attend the closest accessible school at redesal es- pause. . ,’

"Is a fee Now in month per.- ehlld padd forthe right to mend‘ these schools?" asked Senator Me- lntyre. .

“Not necessarily." replicd Col. MacKay. "in general the Govern- ment is prepared to pay an amount suggested by the trustees of the school board concerned."

The Indian Affairs director said there had been some segregation of Indians in Nova Beetle‘ and Prince Edward Island but did not offer to tell the committee why this policy was followed in the Marltlmes and a somewhat differ- ent policy in other provinces.

Senator Cairine Wilson of Ot- tawa is chairman of the immigra- tion and labor committee of the Senate.

Marketing. Board Assets Bill Gets Short Shrift

A bill authorizing the P. E. I. Co-operative, Livestock Marketing Board to transfer all of its assets to the Island Co-op Service's As- sociation. I. ., moved ‘into'eona-

mlttee for econd ‘ _ in the sin uresyeatas-dam-~ .‘MB“W: . A. Stewart. Liberal member for

1at’Queen'e and former Minister of Agriculture. was thrown out after a brief discussion. on motion 01 the Attorney General.

The preamble to the bill stated that the first named company had ceased to carry on business and was desirous of winding up its affairs and surrendering Its char- ter. and of transferring to the last named organization all of its as- sets after provision had been made for payment of all debts and liabilities, including income taxes if any.

Mr. Stewart explained that the assets are practically being hand- ed over to the same people. as the directors of both organisations are the same. The legislation is being sought because the old Board's Act of Incorporation did not make provision for winding up its affairs.

Ministers Object

Hon. A. W. Maiheson objected that the Board had been before the courts recently. “I don't think they know where they stand at all." he sold; "and I don't think they should nsk this House to pass legislation of this kind."

Mr. D. L. Msthleson said it could not be ascertained who the shnreholdersfwere. because the terms of the Act were never car- ried out.

Mr. Stewart: “Thcy know who the directors are." He said that as a shareholder he was perfectly willing to have the assets trans- ferred. The Potato Growers As- sociation was in a similar posi- tion with regard to its sharehold- crs. he maintained.

Hon. Mr. Mntheeon: "It is a proper organisation if it WI! DIO- perly managed; but it was IIOI properly managed because It got itself into the difficulty it is in now." He said that under the Act they were supposed to have hnnual meetings, which were not held.

Hon. W. E. Darby said the Vol- untary Winding-up Act provides for contingencies of this kind. "If the Board In liquidation has any doubt as to who Is entitled to the surplus assets. all they have to do is apply to the courts." lie ndtled. "This bill would be estab- lishing a dangerous psecedent in handing assets of one organisation .over to another. I move that the Speaker take the chair.”

Motion carried.

No Chanidln Ceiling Planned In Meantime

OTTAWA. March 24 —(CP) — Finance Minister Abbott announ- ced todey in the commons that the Federal Government is vacat- ing the rent control field after April 30. 1951.

From that date, it will leavi- rent control in provincial hands.

For the time being, existing rent control provisions are frozen and there will be no further adjust- ments in ceilings.

He made that announcement in moving legislation to extend the Government’: control power: to that drte. -

He said:

"The Government does not intend to ask for a further extension of the continuation of Transitional Measures Act beyond April 30. 1951.

"It is the Government‘: view

that over the next 13 months the operation of the relaxations now in effect, combined with additions to the housing supply. will have permitted enough adjustments to take place so that any problem which may remain can be dealt with edsquat.ely—and with closer regard to local conditions and need.-1-on a Provincial basis." He conceded that it was not usual for a government to give such sdvanee notice of its intent- one.

But the Government. he added. has “decided to do so in this case In order that any Province wlildi may consider it desirable to Is- B-time some measure of rent control may have ample time to take such sigma as may be deemed eproga-i. a .“

The date-April 30. 19ol—hsd been selected because it coincides with the earltestexpiratlon date 0! the leases entered into in return for the 18 and 22-per—cent. increases allowed by the Prices Board last

December. At the same time. Mr. Abba raaooasssccdwa "stand£il.l"’ln1‘=me

This means. he said. that there will be "no further adjustments" in rental ooillms or in the con- ditlona affecting security of ten- ure. except in individual cases as permitted under the ragulstions as they now stand or minor amandmen‘ to the regulations that may be found me _y. However. the process of decon- tml now operating as dwellings become vacant and thus free from control will continue.
