Economic ForeCasisMay Become ,Holtesl'. Issue ' OTTAWA (CP) —- The Liberal- COF'opposition appears to have latched onto what may become ‘the‘ hottest political issue of the current session of Parliament. The two parties claim there are “great discrepancies” be- tween Finance Minister Flem- ing’s budget forecasts and a “partially disclosed” economic report received by the govern- ment in the spring from its trade department advisers. They base their statements on an Ottawa dispatch inthe Toronto Star Friday that the confidential report in the hands of the govern- ment is “considerably more pes~ simistic” about the 1958 economic outlook than was Mr. Flemin-gis ‘June 17 budgetspeech. _ :r" CCF House Leader Hazen Ar. gue, with Liberal support, pro- It said the economic report forecasts an increase in 1958 of .7 per cent in the gross national product—7value of all good-s and services—while Mr. Floming‘had said the rise would be him per cent. e The story also said MrnFlem- ing had stated he expected no gen- eral price increases- for the rest of 1958, However,';zit-;quoted tht economic ,rreport' Wimig.~v:3me in; upward with no indication of an early change in.this trend in sight.“ '. ‘ , 1‘ :_‘ W »Mr‘.

'— (Special) —— MP's of all political parties are singing the praises of Hon. J. Angus MacLean for the manner in which he provided the Commons estimates committee with infor- mation about the Fisheries De- partment. Mr. MacLean, who has been Fisheries Minister for just over one year, is senior Conser- vative MP for Queens. The estimates commit-tee re- cently approved Fisheries’ spend- ing totalling $17,689,000 for 1958- 9. This total compares with $17.- 368,768. The Fisheries Depart- ment has long been one of the most controversial branches of the Government, due to the fluc- tuation in fish prices. the de- cline in the market for certain species of fish, etc., but under Mr. MacLean’s administration, MP’s agree it Pas gained pres- tige in the past year. He has shown a good grasp of the fish- ermen’s problems. At all times he has proved cooperative with Conservatives as well as opposi- tion MP’s. ‘ COMPLETED MEETINGS The Commons estimates com- mittee recently completed its ' Legere (PC — Shelburne - Yar- ineetings for this session. It is at present preparing its report to parliament. Mr. MacLean, 44, who was elected to the commons for the first time at a by-election in June, 1951. was born and raised in Prince Edward Island and is thoroughly familiar with condi- tions there, This, MP’s point out, gives him a decided advan- tage in attending to the needs of the people in the Atlantic Pro- vinces. But is he also aware of the problems of West Coast fish— ermen. Mr. MacLean has not only pro- ved to be a good administrator but a diplomat as well. At all times he has been willing to lis- ten to subggestions from MP re- presentatives of fishing com- munities. Whenever certain cases ,were drawn to his attention he not only promised to investigate them, but complimented the MP’s for making proposals in connection with them. COMMENDS SUGGESTIONS On one occasion"when Felton mouth -, Clare), a fish dealer, Island Minister Does Good Job On Estimates tice in the U. S. of stamping lob- sters caught that were expect- ing young ones, Mr. MacLean termed it “an excellent suggest- ion.” On another occasion Lloyd R. Crouse‘ (P‘C, Queens Lunen- burg) pointed out that fishermen from his riding often caught im- mense species on George’s Bank. Grand Bank, Middleground and St. Pierre, weighing as much as 25 pounds He suggested the de- partment consider buying this huge type of lobster for reseed- ing the inshore lobster grounds. Mr. MacLean promptly promis- ed a study of the feasibility of such a suggestion. H. J. Robi- chaud (Lib., Gloucester), a for- mer director of fisheries for New Brunswick. suggested at one meeting that the department should encourage Maritimers to adopt- new methods of catching herring. Mr. MacLean thanked him for his remarks and pointed out the department is working on.experiments- on “more econo- mical uses of herring.” Perhaps increased catches and sales could be accomplished. he said. GENEVA (Reuters) -— Fore- most scientists from eight West- on. and Communist countries are ' in the final phase of theirhighly complex month-old discussions to determine whether any East-West 2 ban on nuclear tests can be in- Eternationally policed. . Thc.experts—from Canada, the United States, Britain, Fnan-ce, the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Poland and Romania —— began their private talks July 1. They are expected to "conclude their discussions about Aug. 8 when they.are likely to submit an in: terim report to their govern- ments. A Western delegate told report- ers here there is every chance of a technical agreement being reached by the experts. But diplomatic observers here emphasize that any actual decis- ion to end tests could only be a political one and would have to be taken in subsequent East-West diplomatic negotiations. SCIENTIFIC NATUIN: The current Geneva talks are directive to the scientists being limited to the study and making of recommendations about “pos— sible violations of a possilble agreement to end tests." The scientists already have reached joint conclusions on the four principal methods of detect 3 lug nuclearjieprOSions. ? These argz»: ;' ’ , 1. Verification through acoustic methods—the checking of sound waves in the atmosphere or under water. 2. Through the “collection. of m- dloactive products." ‘ 3. Seismic waves. Nuclear Scientists In Final Phase Of Talks On Test Ban of a purely scientific nature—the suggested Canada adopt a prac- The experts announced July 10 that they would. recommend to their governments that detection of nuclear. explosions through acoustic (sound waves) should be with the aid of “network of con- trol posts." ‘ , ‘ They later began to examine closely the other basic methods for detection of nuclear (atomic) and thermormclear 1 (hydrogen) explosions. ‘ ' AGREE 0N OTHERS ', By July 25, they also had reached agreement on the three other principal methods of ver- ification. Three days later, the scientists registered a further agreement on the additional but comparatively minor method of, detection of tests at high altitudes. Since then, they have ' ex- changed views on the applicahlh ity of- various less important means of detection in varying cir- cumshnlces. They did this pre- paratory to discussing how - all methods might be: combined in « control system. » - The Western powers have main» tained that any agreement ‘to end tests must be subjected to in- ternational inspection; supervis- ion and control, and should so far as possible be foolproof so a to prevent surreptitious infringe- mentu and sneak testing - In the view of the Wes , agree- ment at the Geneva. talks on methods of policing a ban on nu- clear tests could hauten acual suspension of testing by interna- the Soviet Union has declared its intention to suspend test-s; Seek Hearing OTTAWA (GP) —— The govern- ment is still trying toiwork out a method of giving government employees suspected on security grounds “a form of hearing” so that they may know and have a chance to reply to allegations against them, Justice Minister Fulton said Saturday. Mr. Fulton, replying to J. W. Pickersgill (L — Bonavista-Twil- lingate) during Commons study of RCMP estimates, said a Tor- onto hearing involving a CBC em- ployee represented a start in that direction. ‘Mr. Pickersgill, recalling Mr. Fulton’s interest in the problem while in opposition, asked whether he has succeeded in working out a procedure since taking office. ‘ As‘a‘fdmner minister of citizen- ship, M‘r. .Pickersgill said. he himself had been faced with the “disagreeable” problem. i “It is distasteful to the natural sense of justice that any "ind of circumstances should arise wherein a man should be de- prived of his employment, or transferred from one position to another, for reasons not die- closed to him. It is repugnant.
