Draws Many

Observers

, By John A. Macdonald, M.P.

. This year Parliament has re turned to normal procedure with regard to introduction of the bud- get. During the past two years with its two Federal elections there was a departure from the normal practice of having the budget presented and debate to completion in the spring. BASED ON INCREASE

Finance Minister Fleming has described his budget this year as a “recovery budget.” It is an op- timistic one in which he predicts a7 percent gain in gross Nation- al Product, as compared to one of 2% percent which occurred during the past year. He states that there is renewed vigour in almost every part of the economy and looks forward to a recovery fram the recession which has plagued our continent for the past two years.

Tariffs rates are increased and

. decreased on many commodities

and our Island people will be particularly interested to note that we now have a 37% percent tariff on American potatoes en- tering Canada all the year 2 round. This will be of consider-

' able benefit to the potato indus

try and we hope will help to stabilize it in the coming years. COMMUNISM

The resignation of the Ameri- ean. Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, was viewed with ‘great regret throughout the non- Communist world. For the past few’ years both he and President Eisenhower have been criticized both at home and abroad for

It is only in recent months that the extent of their fight and the importance of their rigid stand has been fully appreciated.

goes on in that vast territory. It Was most refreshing to hear the views of a man who has spent many years in China and is the expert for the American Govern- ment in that far eastern field.

At a time when many people are confused on the issue and being subjected to propaganda advocating the recognition. of Communist China, it was re- freshing to hear the many con- vincing reasons outlined by Mr. Robertson, why this should not be done and why the advances of Cemmunism should in fact be checked in every sphere.

Kh can plainly be seen that in this and im other areas where there is unrest today underneath is often noted the infiltrations and insiduous agressions of in- ternational Communism. Many reasons could be advanced why their progress in the military, political and economic fields should be ‘checked by whatever means ate necessary.

In the Far East, the U.S. has carried the brunt of the battle for the western powers and for those smaller nations whose depend- ence would soon be engulfed were it not for the stromg bulwark provided by the Americans. The Peiping Government was forced on the Chinese people and rep- resent only a very small fraction of, that very populous nation.

Less than 2 percent belong to the Party which has liquidated millions in enforcing their sys- tem on the people. Even today we see happening in the neighbouring country of Tibet what the Rus sians have carried out against their neighbours in Hungary and other adjourning countries.

There are many other reasons why we should not recognize Communist China which it would take many columns to develop. Fortunately, our country is one which has steadfastly stood for that policy, and it is felt by many of our people more strongly every day, that a firm stand must be taken at all costs to prevent the dangerous and ruthless inroads of Communism in every sphere where their policies of aggres- sion and ination are evident.

On Wednesday noon last we had as our guest the Ambassador of the U.S.S.R. at a dinner of the Commonwealth and NATO Par- liamentary Associations. The gathering was closed to the press and after a speech Mr. Amassp Aroutunial answered many ques- tions which apparently changed little the opinions of members

FISHERIES COUNCIL

Last week the Fisheries Coun- cil had their convention in Otta- wa. The opening was highlighted by a speech of the J. Angus Mac- Lean, who dealt with fisheries over the past year, and prospects for the coming year. His report showed considerable progress had been accomplished and expecta- tions that the industry would have a good year in the coming one.

As ‘many of our primary pro- ducers: are engaged in fishing, the subject is an important one as far as our province is concern- ed. Many interesting phases of the industry were discussed at this convention, which was at- tended by top fisheries men from each province. 5

During the convention I visit- ed some of their sessions and discussed fisheries matters with representatives from the prov- ince: Hon. Dougald MacKinnon, provincial minister of fisheries, and his Deputy, Eugene Gorman,

(Continued on Page 5) which enter into them are not ap- parent on the surface. I know that our decisions will not always be popular, but they will be made on the basis of fairness to all. . . . “I cannot ‘undertake to be guided by criticisms which so often prove to be both unfactual and unfair: even to court popular acclaim when, in the judgment of my colledgues and conscience there appears to be a clear course in the and general welfare of all the people ofall the provinces of our nation."

The statements were included

Atlantic provinces

grants in 1957, under which New- foundiand gets $7,500,000 annually from the federal treasury until 1962. Also continuing until 1962 were the special assistance pay- ments to Newfoundiand under the terms of union, and the general

provinces.

THE RIGHT TIME

“At that time—and I am sure that any fair-minded person will agree that it is the right. time— the financial position of New- foundiand will be given every consideration, in a spirit of fair- ness and equity,” the prime min- ister said.

Turning to the aid that New- foundiand has received since its 1949 union with Canada, he said: “In the very careful study which I have been giving to this whole matter, I find that since Confederation Newfoundland has received a total of $300,000,000 from the federal government, in cluding the amounts for the cur- rent year.

“That total includes $231,000,000 in unconditional grants; $72,000,- 000 in conditional grants for agri- culture, health, hospitals, wel- fare, highways and so on; $3.500,- 000 for institutions and municipal- ities.”

An additional $278,000,000 had been paid directly te Newfound- landers in pensions, family al- lowances and other welfare pay- ments.

“IT mention these figures be- cause some may have received the impression that the attitude of our government in thi: matter has been not generous,” Mr. Diefenbaker said. “The truth, I am sure, is quite the opposite.”

EQUAL STATUS

Much important than the current diff e over the inter- pretation of terms of union

was that there should be neither doubt nor misunderstanding about the equality of Newfound- land’s status in the Canadian partnership.

‘That equality exists as a right of our newest province's member- ship in the Canadian Confedera- tion,"’ Mr. Diefenbaker said.

“It is the earnest hope of my government that the differences may be settled as quickly as pos- sible so that we may get to gether and achieve together the raising of the general standard of living of the province and its people to that which we covet for all Canadians.

“IT am one who has always be- ilieved that the keystone of our ;union is the maintenance invio- late of the rights of the provinces, and the interpretaaion of those rights in terms of the achieve- ment of the fullest measure of equality of opportunity for all Ca- nadians wherever they may choose to live.”

ent of the P.E.I. Fisheries Fed- eration.

In the Fisheries Committee we have completed consideration of the estimates of the Department of Fisheries. Many questions were asked and answered very -satis- factorily by the Minister and of- ficials of his Department. Our Committee meetings were always well attended, and drew many observors which is evidence of the increasing interest in this in- dustry. At our last meetimg I was interested in hearing the Hon. Mr. Pickersgill pay a glowing trib- ute to our Ministér, in which he proclaimed him as the best Min ister in that position for many years.
