Dr. Hare, Professor and Chairman of the Geography de- partment of Montreal's McGill University, was introduced by the president of therclub, Mr. Justice George J. Tweedy.

CONTRIBUTING FACTORS Economic and strategic pres- sures built up in the past twenty years were seen by Dr. Hare as major factors in the rapidity of our northern development in the past decade. Among such factors he in- cluded: air routes developed for use of the military forces dill‘- building of the mid-Canada and DEW lines; the northward ex- pansion of railroads in the Pro- vinces of Quebec and'Manitoba; and the opening of new sea routes in the Arctic by the RCMP and the Navy. Little of this development would have been possible without the aid of American capital, the speaker said.

Troop s t r e n g t h in Algeria, where France has fought rebels for three years, will remain the same. All cuts will be in France, Germany, Tunisia and Morocco. Defence spending will be re- duced by about $120,000,000 and a number of proposed construc- tion projects will be slashed. The reductions’ were outlined in a report accompanying the 1958 defence budget, which attributed them to France's financial plight. France has 1,044,000 men under arms.

(AP)—A lady lobster, even one with the state's V-notch in her tail, is safe from capture only when bearing eggs, a judge ruled Monday. Recorder Walter F. Murrell so interpreted the Maine law against possession of seed lob- sters marked by the sea and shore fisheries C0lTiIIllSSl0i.‘la Murrell acquitted Joseph Bal- zano of illegal possession of a notched lobster. The lobster in question came up in a net in-tended for such fish as cod and haddock. Balzano, a Portland fisherman, said there was no notch when it came aboard his dragger. It must have; been nipped by other lobsters: similarly caught, he said. A state conservation law pro- vides for notching the middle flipper of the tail of seed lob- sters. It is illegal to possess such a lobster or to mutilate it to hide or obliterate the notch. Sea and. shore fisheries com- mlssioner Donald W. Green said his department would accept Murrell’s ruling. MORE MONEY FOR MISSILES WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi- dent Eisenhower presented to Congress Monday the highest 934,000,000 to embark the United States on “the dawning age of space conquest." Two out of every three dollars in the spending program, for the 1959 fiscal year starting next July 1, are earmarked for national protection in what Eisenhower said is clearly “a time of grow- ' ing danger.” Eisenhower proposes to spend $1,000.000,000 more on the missile program alone—a total of $5,300,- 000,000. The precariously-balanced bud- get cuts and skim-ps on civilian and even some military items to put more money into missiles and into nuclear weapons and ve- hicles, supersonic planes, greater foreign aid and a stepped-up “ef. fort ‘on military satellites and other outer space vehicles."

This is be- cause Soviet advances with satel- lites and missiles spa-rked bigger spending at a time when business and revenues have been slump- mg. But Eisenhower ttld Congress, as he did in last Thursday's “st-ate of the union" message, that there are “strong grounds to support my confidence that the expansion of our economy will soon be resumed, bringing higher levels of receipts with present tax rates." Treasury Secretary Robert An- derson characterized the budget 35 "Practical and prudent.” He said revenue estimates are based on a belief that personal income will total $3-i3,000,000,000_for the 1957 calendar year and go up $9,- 00.000.000 to $352,000,000,000 this PARLIAMENT AT A GLANCE By THE CANADIAN PRESS Monday P rim e Minister Diefenbaker announced a study of a possible expansion of the old age pension system by a contributory plan similar to United States social security, Labor Minister Michael Starr said job applications at national employment service offices Jan. 2 totalled 754,640, a rise of 56,- 487 in a week.

' MILITARY AID CUT Eisenhower trimmed military foreign aid a bit, to $3,085,000,000. But he more than offset the re- duction with an increase in eco- nomic assistance. Thus the over- all figure for mutual security spending is up $119,000,000 to a total of $3,868,000,000. Whether Congress will go along with the foreign aid program is a big question.

NOT M0 THAN , PREPARE POWER PLAN‘ OTTAWA (CP) -— Two federal cabinet ministers Monday invited Prince Edward Island and New- foundland to work out power de- velopment projects that will qual- ify for new federal financial aid. But opposition members said the conditions of the aid should be expanded to include hydro power development instead of only steam power plants, if any real help is to be given Newfound- and. The debate arose in the Com- mons on a government bill. en- abling federal financial aid for construction of steam power plants and transmission lines in any Atlantic province, and fed- eral subventions on coal used to produce industrial power. During the discussion, William J. Browne, minister without port- folio, apparently disclosed terms under which the federal govern- ment will build the plants and transmission lines for sale to the provinces. 40-YEAR PAYMENT He said that any Atlantic prov- ince wanting federal aid under the program can have 40 years to repay at a maximum of 4%- per-cent interest a year. , At present, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick are preparing to go ahead with a joint power de- velopment plan involving con- struction of steam power plants and interconnecting transmission lines. Resources Minister Alvin Ham- ilton said the legislation provides that the federal government will either build the facilities and sell them to the provinces or advance funds so that the provinces can do the building. Edward Island government will assess its needs and let the fed- eral government know how it might help develop industrial power. in that province. He added that the aid provided under the legislation should be ing transmission lines. NFLD. NEEDS HYDRO J. W. Pickersg-ill (L—Bonavista- Twillingate) said it is more nec- essary to Newfoundland to have extension of the legislation to in- clude aid on the same basis for new hydro power developmenti. That was the kind of power de- velopment Newfoundland wanted, nokl steam plants. Ian J. MacEachen (L-—-Inver- ness-Richmond) expressed con- cern that the power development program in Nova Scotia might re- sult in abandonment of a small plant in his constituency. He urged Mr. Hamilton to try to persuade the Nova Scotia gov- ernment to maintain the power plant, near Inverness, and even expand“ it to use coal resources in Be Elected On OTTAWA (CP)—Top candidates for the Liberal party leadership stepped up their campaigns for delegate votes on the eve of the national convention opening here today.

He also said he hopes there will be speedy power development in Prince Edward Island using coal from his area. Mr. Browne, who represents St. John’s West, Nfld., said there was no evidence the power plan de- vised by the former Liberal.gov- ernment last spring would do any- thing for Newfoundland. What Newfoundland needs, be said, are more power transmis- sion lines. Most of the province’s power was supplied by private companies who hesitated to ex- tend their lines into unprofitable areas. ' Now the province should avail itself of this federal legislation to get transmission lines built into populated areas not now served with electricity. CONCENTRATE ON LINES ince might buy the _power from private companies and concen- trate its own efforts on ‘extending transmission lines. He said construction of a num- ber of small local generating plants would not be as eco- nomical as producing power in large central plants. Extension of electricity to New- foundlanders could be carried out faster this way than if they had to wait while a number of plants were built. Mr. Pickersgill said Mr. Browne's w a s the most astonish- ing statement he had heard this session. ' Small plants to serve the rela- tively isolated localities of the province were exactly what were needed. Such hydro plants could be developed quite cheaply, es- pecially if this could be done un- der the federal scheme. But in a great part of New- foundland, thre was no possibil- ity of getting power from exist- ing plants because the necessary power just wasn't there. Heath Macquarrie (PC -- Queens) said more and cheaper :~paoner..would help Prince Edward Island in many ways: It would aid small industries such as pack- ing plants; improve the lot of farmers and thus arrest the away - from - the - farm trend; encourage new industry; diver- sify the economy. .- GOOD FOR ALL A careful study should be made ‘ of the feasibility of a submarine power cable to P.E.I. from main- land Canada. The legislation helped New Brunswick a nd Nova Scotia. What helped the other Maritime provinces was good for P.E.I. A 0 larger market would be created for P.E.I. agricultural products. Mr. Macquarrie said the legis- lation may be a turning point in the history of the Atlantic area. Pearson Predicts Leader Will First Ballot the Coliseum Thursday night.
