on this subject later. In tiie mean-

’, time he invited suggestions from

the committee. Mr. Savllle maintained tiiat il- Ji lcgltlmliifl children should be in- ’ eluded.

Han, Dr. ll/lacMillan said it would be well to give serious con- sideration to this point. “! know this Act is very important because it will reach people——widows and orphans-who are very difficult to reach otherwise." he added. "I approve oi it very much. On the other hand the illegitimate child

The statutes oi this Province regarding illegitim- ncy are not nearly adequate; even the largest amounts are not enough. The Orphanages osnec- ially have borne a very great bur- den ior‘ years in dealing with these cases. I would advise that con- sideration be given to illegitimate children when we are putting

through this blll.".

Hon. Mr. Matheson assured the committee that it was not the “l- tention to pass the bill today. and this question could be held ior consideration. In reply to ques- tions he explained that the Gov- ernment is now paying allowances for children-whose parents are lr. the Provincial Sanatorium, or un-

der cxtro. mural treatment ior tuberculosis. ' The Act does not provide ior

crippled children, he added, but the Department is now paying al- lowances under direct relief or welfare. He did not think it wise to have such payments included in this measure. ' ,

Mr. Baker: “In‘othei' words, this would be sitpplemeiitilry to what is called children's allowances?"

Hon, Mr. Mailicson: "That is right."

Mr: Bell said he was pleased to see this bill introduced. It was badly needed and will be of won- dcriul assistance.

The clause in the interpretation section defining "child" as mean- ing a legitimate child and includ- ing n. stepchlid and child legally adopted bv a husband and wife jointly, was held over, also a sec- tion ‘dealing with Canadian citiz- cnship.

Provision is made for the Act to come into force by proclamation. Hon. Mr. Mathcson said there would be no undue delay l" "kl"! Lil's action.

llrg "ilse of Be er Packages for local Potatoes

- As a result of recognition by U. S. potato growers through the National Potato Council that better and more attractive packages of potatoes will have to be put up in order to oiiset the declining de- mand and to meet competition from various other sources, Mr. E. M. Lavltt, president of tlte Lavltt‘ Potato Comp ny here re- commended in an in iew yester- day that Mince-Edward Island shippers and growers should take immediate congnfzance of this movement and do everything in their power to bring up the stand- ard of Islahd packages to that of United States competition.

Mr. Levitt who has Just re- tumed from attending a. three day meeting of the National Potato Council lield in Washington, D. C., suited in the interview that the quality of Island potatoes was the best to be found on the Atlantic seaboard. a fact that all the largest United States growers readily ad- mitted. But, Mr. Levitt. recom- mended more attention be paid to

weight, packaging and uniformity of the bags in cars.

Many of the bags are short in

‘Weight. he said, due'to ilie fact

that the potatoes are bagged in the fall and are riot re-weighed when being shipped in the spring. In this respect. he noted that larger producers of seed potatoes in New Brunswick are advertising ireely in the United States tfint their product are freshly packed the day befom shipping; packages fire Proving more attractive and this 1s giving the N. B. shippers a decided advantage over Prince Edward Island growers.

In concluding his interview Mr. Lavltt recommended that potatoes be graded just prior to shipment. an attempt to make the quality oi the packages the finest and that special attention be paid in having the sacks made as attractive look- 1X18 as poslble. In connection with the weight shortage. a difficulty that has been run into quite frequently Mr. Levitt recommended that a requirement might be made that no potatoes be llllpped that ha"! been Packed for more than 60 days prior to the date of ship- ment.

keep them going until midnight. Mr. Sherren estimated that the week-end should see the main highways of the‘ Province open to all traflic—some, perhaps, sooner.

At 5 o'clock last evening the plow from Charlottetown on the Montague road had reached South- port corner. However, it would continue until midnight. The plow from Montague had gained about six miles from that town.

The Charlottetown to Borishaw road u‘ open.

The following reports came in at 7 o'clock last evening.

Bucking extremely heavy drifts in the hills, t-he plow from Hunter River made only three miles to- wards the city. From the Char- lottetown end, on the Malpeque road, the Government plow got as far as Winsloe, about 4% miles out. and Just after dinner, broke down. ivla-intenance men. are- re- pairinr; it on the road. It is hoped to get through to Hunter River today.

On the Sourls road, a. plow from Charlottetown got as far as Marshiield. Another leils Mount Stewart ior Charlottetown and reached ‘Ih-acadle. It. was expected that the road to Mount Stewart would be opened last night.

The plow from Sour-ls made only four miles. Extremely high and heavy drifts were encountered and. in some parts, hand shovelling was necessary to make headway. The road from Murray River to Montague was open at noon yes- terday.

Prince County

Late information last evening advises that No. l highway is open to traffic from Summerslde to O‘Leary.

Exceptionally heavy snow drifts are reported in many places on the summersido-Borden road.‘

In an all-day bucking match, the Kensington plow made ilve miles through to Travellers‘ Rest.

OTTAWA. March 3—(OP)-The Maritime Provinces must. have more reciprocal trade agreements. especially with the United States, it they are to survive. C. T. Rich- ard (IrG-loueester) told the Com- ,mons tonight.

Btepping into the Throne-Speech debate. he ‘reviewed the economic conditions of the Marlbimes and said their grievances against Cen- tral Canada were "real."

They stemmed. he said, from tarlfls and fiscal policies which had "concentrated capital and therefore industry in the two do- minant Provinces of the union, dominant because t-hey had two distinct advantages to make them so-size and population."

The Maritimes had lagged since confederation. though they had contributed as much as the other Provinces to development of the railroads and other components which had expanded the Canadian nation.

Subsidies would never solve the problems of the Maritlm-es. Nor could the markets of the Upper Provinces suffice to absorb the full exioortable surplus of the farm. tho forests and the sea in the Maritimes.

Moscow tMay Revive Dream 0i Revolution

lMariilme Liberal Urges Beller Deal

(By William L. Ryan, Auoclated Prose Stall Writer)

Does‘ Moscow feel the time II ripe for reviving the Lenin dream of world revolution?

A new C mlntern Communist In- ternatlonal-embraclng the Com- munists of all the world-may be taking shape. Event: of the last two weeks form a pattern which seems to indicate thin. -

In, quick succeulon the Commun- ists of France, Italy, Britain, Ger- many. the United States and Aus- tria have announced they would welcome the "liberating armies" of the Soviet Union if war should erupt between the east and west.

The Communist International In- formation Bureau (Cominform) may be getting ready to hatch out a military alliance to match the projected North Atlantic pact. There are reports that a Comin- form XIIIIIIBTY‘COPIIEX‘EIICG has been called for March 15 in Hungary.

In the concept of Nicolai Lenin, hero of the Russian revolution, Russia was looked upon as the be- ginning point of a world revolution of‘ the proletariat. Under Stalin, however, Russian Communism for a while took a different road, tend- ing toward national development.

War Changes Plans

The war had much to do with Russia's temporary disavowal of the world revolution idea. In 1943 Stal- in announced dlssolutlon of the Comiritern, founded by Lenin in 1919, and which was to have been the instrument of world revolution. With the war over and the Allies victorlousuthe Russian attitude he- gan to change again. Nationalism no longer was popular with the

Winnipeg North Centre). p

At the night sitting, the debate was continued by C. T. Richard tL-Gloucestcr); Alan Cockerem tPC-York South); Anus Macin- nls (CUE-Vancouver East); T. B. Barrett (PC-Norfolk); Maurice Bourget (L-Levls) and Hazen Ar- gue (COR-Wood Mountain).

Mr. Maclnnis urged that the Government embark now on a "modest" shipbuilding program and that it make it obligatory ior Canadian ships to carry Canadian crews. He also asked‘ that labor be given representation on the Canadlan- Maritime Commission.

Mr. Bourget said it would be "disastrous" for the Government not to provide assistance to an industry which had given 75.000 persons employment during the war. He. too. suggested it was time to replace the existing fleet and said something should be done to havei more Canadian exports and imports carried in Canadian ships.

Mr. Manross called for more generous treatment of the blind and the aged.

Ml‘. Knowles urged the-govern- ment to inaugurate an overall social security plan.

At the House opening, Trade Minister Howe said the United Kingdom has granted $3,000,000 in dollar funds to the British West Indies ior the purchase of Cana- dian and United States goods.

Serious Obstacles

In the debate, Mr. Chevrler said it must be realized that there are serious obstacles which must be overcome in maintaining a Cana- dian ileet.

"First, there is the high cost of building it in Canada as com- pared with the ‘United Kingdom." he said. "I am not prepared to say what it is with reference to proportions, but roughly speaking the cost of building an ordinary 10.000-ton ship in the United King- dom is approximately ‘l5 per cent of the cost of building in Canada.

"Secondly. there is the hlgli cost of Canadian operation which ex- ceeds the cost oi British operations by 49 per cent. Then there is the question of the availability of cargoes. Even if it were sub- s-idlzed. . .it is very doubtful if we could keep our present merchant marine employed.’

Ha recalled that in the past shipbuilding and operation of a merchant fleet had been strictly a wartime business ior Canada. At the end of the last war there were 149 vessels owned and oper- ated by the Canadian Government. In addition, there were 104 Cana- dian-built ships on loa.n to the United Kingdom. Twenty-six of tlie 104 now have been returned and 56 more will be returned next

year. The U. K. will retain the re- maining 20.

Russian Co" lsts. The Comin- form was formed around the Com- munist Parties of Russia, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, France, Italy nnd Yugo- slavia, with the announced inten- tion of fighting the Marshall Plan.

Marshal Tito of Yugoslavia was concentrating his Communist re- gime on rebuilding his country first and thinking in terms of world re- volt second. This "nationalist rightist devlatloniam" was expelled in disgrace from the Cominform. The announced purpose of the Comlniorm was propaganda, but it turned out to be a little Ccmlnterm, closely knitting the Communists of Europe.

Series of Statements

Maurice Thorez, secretary-gener- oi the French Communist Party, said the French people might be led into war against their wishes and might find that the Russians had to "chase the enemy onto our soil." In such a case, he said, the French would welcome the Rus- sians ns liberators.

Then Palmlro Togliattl, Commun- ist boss of Italy, made a similar statement. The Italian people, he said, would aid Russian armies if the Russians ever chased "an ag- gressor” onto Italian soil.

Two days later Harry Pollitt, gen- eral secretary of the British Com- munist Party, said British Com- munists would try to sabotage any "imperialist aggressive w ii r" against. Russia.

A day later the German Commun- ists were heard from. The Commun- lst-led Socialist Unity Party ile- clared that "ln case of any aggres- sion the German people must fight against the aggressors and support the Soviet army in its effort to create peace." -

Wednesday night the same sort of statement came from the Com- munists of the United States. They pledged themselves to oppose any war provoked by "Wall Street" in- teresls.

Thursday the Austrian Commun-

ist Party was heard from. Said the Austrian Communist Volksstlmme, "the Austrian people will support the Soviet Union in case of war," and “will not shed blood for the dollar." The statements all had some- thing ln common. They were all carefully prepared statements, and, with the possible exception of the Austrian one, all issued by the party's top leadership.
