Mr. Abbott Gels A All That's left The budget of Canada was en- riched by exactly two cents last night.when that amount was of- fered to the Hon. Douglas C. An- bott. Federal Minister of Finance, who was the guest speaker at the annual meeting of the Maritime Provinces Board of Trade dinner held at The Charlottetown. s Accepted in the same spirit of high good humor in which it was offered, the Hon. Mr. Abbott said he would do his best with it. The money was part of a "World Series" fund collected by one of the members of the Maritime Provinces Board of Trade now meeting in annual session at The Charlottetown. A large portion of the original amount was handed to Dr. W. J. P. MacMillan for the Charlottetown Dispensary. How- ever, when the main disbursements had been made there was the sum of two cents left over and .t was thought fitting to present this to the guest speaker. " The dinner was presided over by Defence Dept.

Here farmers were op- erating on a basis of from 5 to 10 thousand acrs. buying'new equip- ment every year because of the difficulty in getting parts so far from a base, without loss of valu- able time. Speaking of Alberta mention was made of a half million acre ranch with 6,000 cattle running at large. The owner told Miss Bennett that a steer could not run on less than 50 acres. "Think of your intensified farming, your pleasant lives and interests, your opportunities for social contacts and education and you will appreciate your circum- stances, said Miss Bennett." ' Need For Economy "People from coast to coast say that we should not be taxed as we are today," continued the speaker. Social security in this country is good and it has come to stay, but efficient management and rigid economy is being demanded. "Higher wages, better homes bet- ter schools and living conditions are desired by everybody, but some of the millions wasted are deplored by Canadians everywhere. Miss Bennett described one ,airplant where boys were getting 590 a week for more than four years. and not a single plane has been turn- ed out yet. Farmers were described as willing to pay taxes if they see anything worthwhile for their con- trlbution. i other speakers who addressed the meeting briefly and expressed their appreciation for the out- standing address of Miss Bennett were Messrs. W. Chester S. Mc- Lure, M.P.. J. Angus MacLean. M. P.. R. R. Bell. Leader of the Op- position, Major J. A. MacDonald. M. L. A., Frank Myers. M.L.A. and Dr. W. J. P. MacMillan. M.L.A. Mrs. W. H. V. Dunbar. president of the Womens Progressive Associ- ation in her address of welcome, thanked Miss Bennett for coming to the Island as part of her stren- uous tour of the Maritimes. she expressed the hope that the distinguished visitor would be able to see some of the beauty spots of the Garden of the Gulf. Mrs. Dun- bar assured the Dominion Presi- dent that the ladies of the local organization would support whole- heartedly the plans she had in mind. Mrs. McLure. in introducing Miss Bennett, spoke of her personal friendship over a number of years and the wealth of knowledge she had on matters political. She was particularly pleased to be present with Miss Bennett on this her first visit to P. E. Island. Mrs. R. R. Bell moved the vote of thanks for an outstanding in- formative and thought provoking address. which was tendered by Mrs. Dunbar. The meeting closed with "the Queen," with Mrs. K. S. Rogers as pianist. ' Solution To Continued from page If said: " ust we wait for an exact bal- ance of buying and selling before normal trade can be restored? What we need above everything else is to find some way in which our producers can come here and sell what you want to buy. and you can continue to increase your sales of'your own products in Canada." Drew expressed hope that when the Commonwealth prime minis- ters meet in London next month. "there will be a determined and successful effort to make the dol- lar and pound interchangeable. at least within the Commonwealth." Another speaker, Lord Balfour of Inchyre, also looked to the forthcoming economic conference as a beacon of hope for the Common- wealth. l-le said the main Anglo- Canadian problem is how Canada can market her wheat and other agricultural products in Britain. "If long-term arrangements can be made whereby sterling is ac- cepted in payment for Canada's produce." said Lord Balfour. "we shall have gone a long way to- wards ensuring closer economic unity. . ." v Lord Balfour also called for re- peal of the general agreement on tariffs and trade. Earlier in his address.

Mr. McMurtry described the ro- tational burning process followed by the farmers in that district, noting that they burned a third of their land every year in pre- paration for their coming crop. In this regard. he explained that the method most commonly used was to place straw over the section to be burned in the fall and carry out the burning operations in the Spring of the following year. During the two years Mr. Mc- Murtry was out of the Province studying the development of blue- berries on behalf of his Depart- ment he visited Tower Hill, which is just outside St. Stephen and Blueberry Hill in Maine.

He also stressed the point that it was necessary to have "reaon- ably good soil" to grow blueber- ries and noted that in the places he visited the berries were not picked until all in the barrens were ripe. Mr. George Warren. Horticultur- ist with the Domlnion Experimen- tsl Station here, told the meet- ing of experiments carried out a Blooming Point and Alllston and said there was a very good fut- ure for anyone who wanted to take up the growing of blue- berries in the Proivnce. Mr. W. P. MacLeod, District Fruit and Vegetable Inspector, told the meeting that if blueber- ries-free of maggots--were pro- duced here the market would be unlimited. He also suggested that the boxes or shipments be tagged so it could be determined from what area the berries were pick- ed. Several other speakers were heard briefly including Messrs. M. S.

Finance Minister continued from page L' this in addition to very substantial invmtment in housing and by gov- ernment departments. "There has been a growth of new industries to cater to both the do- mestic and foreign markets," he added. This latter development tends to favour high Value P104005 in which the cost of transpomil-1011 is relatively less important. "Expansion and modernization has occurred in your basic industries of ngmng, coal and steel, and pulp and paper. Your power resources are being developed. There has. ln addition; been a tremendous im- provemnt in highway transporta- tion ln the Maritimes. "The prices of agricultural pro- ducts and fish are c - Demand for pulp and paper is on the whole satisfactory and here your initia- tive is evident in the development of new products from what were formerly waste products of the in- dustry. And I think I would be missing a. very important example of your progress if I did not point to the fact that the Canso Cause- way is rapidly becoming a reality- Basic Industries "But despite this mat improve- ment in Maritime economic condi- tions in the post-war period, it is obvious, I,t.hink, that the strength of your economy still rests in the main upon the products of the sea. the forest. and the farm. The new diversification has reduced and will further reduce the vulnerability of the Maritime economy. but 37011 continue to have s paramount in- terest in trade with other regions. The Minister reviewed develop- ments in the Maritlmes since Con- federation. Vifhile Canada has made great economic progress since that time, and mectacularly so in the last ten or twelve years, it was only fair to add that this economic pro- gress has not been uniform across the country. Many Meritlmers, Mr. Abbott conceded, would feel that the benefits of economic lmion with the rest of Canada have. at times, been disappointing. The Minister went on to cite at- tempts at remedying this situation in the way of Maritime freight rate subventions. special assistance to the steel and coal industries, and tax rental agreements which pro- vide. among other things. It means of sustaining a minimum level of government services in areas of low- er tax potential. These developments be regarded as signs of the times, flowing from the greater prosperity of Canada as a whole and a better understand- ing of the implications of economic union. "They will be accentuated." he predicted. "by the growing self- confidence and the increasing cap- ital investment which I mentioned s moment ago as characteristic of your recent development." "When one looks over the long and impressive list of Maritimcrs who L ame leaders in Canadian finance and industry, in the pro- fessions and in the government," he added smilingly, "one can only conclude that this is a market that you have exploited to the full." Trade and Finance The Minister then went on to re- view Csnadals position as a trading nation. summarizing the Govern- ment's policy in this matter as be- ing aimed "at. achieving a high level of unrestricted trade over as broad an area as possible." Canada's part in the development of the General Agreement on Ter- iffs and Trade and in the three malonteriff negotiations at Gen- eva, Annecy and Torquay has help- ed to open up important new ex- port markets for Canadian goods. he added. Of particular interest to the Maritime: are the additional concessions obtained with respect to fish and potatoes. Ha dealt also with Canada's ex- tention of credits to thd United Kingdom and other monetary mea- sures, and with the forthcoming Conference of Commonwealth Min- isters to be held in London in the latter part of November. Dealing with Canada? admitted- W! KEEP PLENTY - e debt will require about M40 mil- lion: not far from a. billion dollars is the bill for social security, in- cluding pensions of all kinds; stat- utory subsidies and tax rental pay- ments to the Provinces will require over 5300 million; and only about 5670 million is the amount needed for all the other services and activ- ities which the Government is ask- ed to carry on in the course of its ordinary operations. Defense Expenditures "Large expenditures for defense are, of course, not a new experience for Canadians," the Minister said. "It is entirely new, however, to have outlays on defence on any- thing like this scale in peace-time. Our defence expenditures this year are no less than ten times what they were only four years ago, be- fore the cold war began to heat up. "This new situation, of course, re- flects the state of international un- rest and the threat to rur security. In an important sense it also re- flects the growing economic and political importance of Canada am- orig the principal countries of the world. ' "In the past. Canada maintained only a. very small peace-time milit- ary force. Over almost the whole of our history. we were able to devote virtually all our resources to peace- ful development. Now, the world situation and our position in it re- quires us, really for the first time, to assume a greatly increased re- sponsibility. This we are doing with the unquestionable support of the Ere-all malority of the Canadian People. "The cost is high - nearly fifty cents out of every tax dollar - but I am sure that Canadians are will ing to pay this price if it is neces- sary to maintain our freedom and to avoid war. Today, we need the whole of the collections from the personal income tax together with almost all revenues from taxes on corporations to pay for defence alone." The Minister then reviewed so- cial security expenditures, the sec- ond largest category of government expenditures. The cost of these services today is equivalent to the whole collections from the sales and excise taxes combined. Added to these are fixed charges, such as some s7-10 million to cover inter- est on the public debt and pay- ments to the Provinces. The Alternatives Any substantial reduction in taxes, the Minister emphasized, can only be achieved in one or both of two ways. "First. by a leuening of international tensions which will permit a substantial reduction in our defense outlays. Secondly. by an increase in the national produc- tion of our people, which will make the relative tax burden higher. "I am not optimistic that we can count very much on the first of these in the near future." be sad. ed. "The second holds out more promise." Recalling that in his budget speech last March he had forecas: a surplus this year of nine million dollars, Mr. Abbott said that after reviewing various trends during the few months, he would be quite appy "if we break even at the end of this fiscal year." He stressed the need of maintain- ing a flexible economy, empha5iz- ing that much of Canada's growth and wealth is based upon the ax- ploitation of new natural resources located in remote regions. If de. Velollment is to be carried forward, large amounts of capital must be raised. HAI..IFlAX.

A. Bernard of Tignish. Premier Jones in speaking on the Island's transportation prob- lem said that throughout July and August the ferries were unable to cope with the traffic. He said that the Island should long ago have had adequate ferry service assuring prompt transportation, and offered a tip on how this could be 'done and still save Mr. Abbott some money. The Premier contended that as a supplement to the train-carry- ing ferries there should be smal- ler and less costly ferries that would carry the heavy automobile traffic. He spoke of "the difficulty in getting our food supplies to the consuming centers that are all around us." and he .requested Mr. Abbott and Mr. MacNaugiit to do what they could to bring about improved transportation be- tween the Island and the main- land.
