He said the Valentine tank was a useful one but was now outmoded and was not considered a "first line" weapon in any country ex- cept Russia. Bv agreement it was decided that British factories could most effici- ently furnish all this type of tank that could be shipped to Russia. The Angus shops were being re. too ed to turn out ship components and some men might be laid off during the change-over.

There may have to be a gooo deal of extra expense in order to furnish that fill-in, but I don't coirsided‘ that engineers are in a position to say. as Messrs. German and Corn- pariy apparently have. that a certain cost would be prohibitive. The cost is not prohibitive if the boat is required. I think that the will‘ ll really just beginning and that we have to think in terms of expansion. It follows that we must. have a new boat and a substitute until a. new boat can be obtained. "I cannot content myself with the fact that the Prince Edward Island may possibly or even pro- bably be able to carry on. We must provide the best insurance we can against the possibility of her iltvt carrying on 0r of her ‘proving inade- quate for the service. sirlnias at Prevail! That h the position I took tihe\ and that l, the position I take to- day. I did not make any speeches in the house. Here is the position after month; of rigorous examine- tion. I was talking to Mr. Vaughan tonight. The technical experts of the Canadian National Railway: have been sent all over the con- tinent to find a boat ixlilch would be a suitable stand-by. and they have been unable to find one eo for. Shipping is st s terrific pre- mium. It is as scarce as the prov- erbial hen's teeth. ilvhile we want to have that sfnnd-irv. we have not a stand-by at the IIIPFOIIf timc, and what is the altcrirririvc? The measure which needs to be taken is the building ofanew boat, and the building of a new boat as soon ss possible. But in the meantime, what? The situation is simply this, that we have thr-re iccbrcnkcr; not far away. If thr-re ivcic a srrlous breakdown in coiliiccliuii with that service, in the wintertime, I say to the people of Prince Edward Is- land as I soy to lllls house. what you would have in do is in have an Icebreaker there and cargo boats in order to carrv the cargo. But we also have a stand-by at Cunso in the shape of the second boat there. ano I nm told that technical ex- perts find that, of all the bouts available, the Scotia is probably the best of the vcrv limited supply the My ‘hon. friend, I presume, thinks he can make some sort of apptffll w the people of Prince Edward Island bv suggesting that we empty one of those berths now so busily enkflfld and put a car ferry into construc- tion there which would take per- ha/pg a year or a year and a half to build. and in the meantime we would lose the building of ten cargo vessels or eight escort vessels. I wish to say that the people of Prince Edward Island are not to be caught by that sort of thing. I rim prepared in go to them at an! time and tell them the situation. instead of making speeches in the house. and I and my corleoille! have told them the situation. When my hon. friend talks of patriotism he does not know half as much about the patriotism of the people of Prince Edward Is- land as I do from my P05114011- From the beginning of this war Prince Edward Island hog been ‘ex- celled in recruiting by no other province. not even by my native province which was mentioned by the hon. member for Cumbfifllmd this afternoon. The P901719 °1 Prince Edward Island have 80m? over the top also in connection with every victor loan camoaian and every Rad Cross drive.
