Premier Jones: "He also said that he was not the man who advised the farmers to press their hay." Mr. Stewart: “V. said I advised them not to press hay." Premier Jones: "A great deal of hay is going to Newfoundland. i called up the O.N.R. today and found that lo earloads of bay left the Island in the oath of August last year.

Prime Minister at uumi said '5 feted from the other side of the TOMTO. March 11 — (GP) today that Canada's handling of racial problems may suggest a means of ending international dif- ferences in the cold war. "We (Canadians) stand united beforu a world in‘ need of unity." he told the Toronto Canadian Club. "And ‘the striking thing is that this world faces a problem of racial dif- fge-rlnozslhianlulse differences. cui- eronces an a far 'grea scale than. but essentially slmllx to.theproblemwefacedIithe early days of our national life. “We stand tlius before a -world in need oi political harmony such as we have achieved and before a world in need of a kind of part- nership similar to ours. » "I do not think it is too much to hope that our national example may contribute to the development in the international sphere of the unity of purpose and the spirit of co-operation so essential to the and the security of the free world."

"Events have demonstrated that .]d-y confidence will depend upon a sin- core and radical change in the at- titude of Soviet Russia to the rest of the world. Such a change is not going to come overnight, if it comes at all in our lifetime." with respect to Paloonwood hrn. Mr. Stewart maintained he was correct in stating that it had cost altogether about $30,000. He went over numerous items of costs, re- peating his criticism that tile building was cold. damp, incoii- venlent and costly. “Would you build a burn like that on your own place?" he asked the Premier. Premier Jones maintained that the stanchions and other lteru were included in the 831.000 cost. "It is no use for him to quibble; that is what it cost.” he said. Mr. Bell: "Was it a cost plus contract?" Premier Jones: “so far as I know Mr. Matheson's contract was a cost plus one. The barn was built in ii hurry because the straw had to be stored and there was no place to store it." Mr. Stewart: "it doesn't hold half the straw nowi" Premier Jones: "It had to be built in a hurry. if I wanted to build in a hurry that is what I would do." M.r._’Bell: “But not on a cost plus Premier Jones: "No. 1 would build it with my own help." Mr. Hughes‘ Complaint The Premier said he had been asked by a former Cabinet col- league (Mr. William Hughes) to make an “amends honorable" for certain statements regarding the potato warehouse agreement. In this connection he read a copy of the Dominion order-in-council of Dec. 3, 1947, (the text of which appears elsewhere in today's Guar- an. Mr. Hughes: “The Premier said that I struck up an agreement with Ottawa; now he tries to prove that by a€IdlH‘ an order-in- council." Premier Jones: “You were the Minister until March 1048. Here is the agreement. too. which was drawn up by Mr. Kenneth Martin. who. I presume. was employed by the Government; it is founded on the order-in-council. The hon. gentleman was Minister then. and I have given you the facts. We have always been the best of friends and I wouldn't want the hon. mem or to think that there was anyth ng in the way of a dis- agreement between us.” Mr. Hughes (after inspecting the agreement): “This has no refer- ence to the matter at all." _ Premier Jones: "Well, I thought this would clarify the whole situa- tion." - (Later. at the request of Mr. Hughes. be tabled both the.ssree- ment and the Dominion ordcr-ln- council.) ‘ - Ministers’ Bealg-nations Some instruction had been of- House. the Premier said. as to how he should have reconstituted his Government. "If one finds himself in the position of Premier. how are you going to proceed if you want to change your Govern- ment?" he asked. “Would you go to a man and say. ‘Give me your resignation?’ What if he refused? Or would you. as they say the late Premier of Canada did. take the resignations in advance and have them on filef (Laughton. I was not quick enough to have all the resignation. on file." Dr. Mseltfillan: “Mr. King could have told you that." V Premier Jones: "I was not smart enough to have them on file. (Laughter). But on a couple of occasions I said the Government would have,to have rdgnstions and they all agreed. for good and sufficient . Some ‘ - of the Government handled me (heir; resignations but others did not. ' Mr. Hughes: "Why, didn't you act on mine. ' ‘ ’ of "" me out?" Dr. MacMilieri: "Was that site!‘ the Liberal nominating conven- tion in Queen's?!’ ~ Premier Jones: "No: All -summer I knew I had to reshape the ‘Gov- erninant.

MacMlilan: "You ma, to-do it all youraalff" - V . -rs. only way Premier Jones: "And I eouldlfl. carry on. eularlv as the Min- ister of glivvsya left in early July. I couldn't conveniently get ’ fr:-l‘:-_uu a ‘ merit. and ‘Dr. " oiihuanz ‘Do you tiiinli ‘ -Ti. - =-‘~w- ..« 7!. .-hm . Jones: ‘ltwds dons ’ get into St. John's for that." done under the circumstances." Continuing. he said there were difficulties of representation in connection with the old Govern- merit. His own colleague for Bel- fast (Mr. Dougald MacKinnon) had to be left out oi the Cabinet. although I-‘Irst Queen's was rep- resented by two Ministers. ‘‘I left them there as long as possible. but that situation had to be changed," he said. There was also not a fair religious representation, or Countyrepresentation. It all had to be corrected, and he did not think the criticism of the lun- ior member for Charlottetown (Mr. D. L. Mathiesen) in this connec- tion had any point. "If ‘his father were alive he could tell you how to form a Government. On one occasion he told a certain man that he shouldn't run in the dis- trict; but it happened he did run. and he got here Just the same. They were rough days then." Newfoundland Trade The Premier claimed that there had been no interference with other Newfoundland trade in the operations by the Eskimo. The boat visited’ the outports along the south and west side. and succeed- ed in lowering the cost of living by ten or fifteen percent to the people of these places. They put into twelve or fifteen cutports al- together. and they took the goods on consignment only. "The'old trade which I have heard argued about so much was the coastal shipping trade which is nearly all over the ship's side. and which is a very crude way of doing business." Premier Jones said. He mentioned two ships from the island which were carrying on trade in this manner last year. one out of Summerside and the other from Murray Han hour. The Eskimo received no subsidy from'the Federal Government al- though there was one bost coming into Charlottetown which was get- ting a subsidy of $4.500. They were told that if they made a loss on the ‘Eskimo’ they would be en- titled to a subsidy. but this point has not been determined. Dr. Macmuan: "You.shouid get it; I hope you will." The Premier said the ‘Eskimo’ had been the oblect of slighting remarks from the Opposition. "I don't know where they gt their coaching," he added. " e can guess. though. There might be some individuals here who don't want. to see this boat succeed." He went on to say that the "El- kimo' was found to be in good condition for a wooden ship. and that she was equipped with radar. direction finder and other modern devices. V Mr. Keir Clark: "May I ask the Premier if be inferred that any of this ‘coaching’ is coming from the members of this House?" Premier Jones: "I didn't that." He said it had been asked why the Captain of the ‘Eskimo’ is not an Islander. This was because there is not an Island captain who can handle the rsdar.at present. They had an Island man with papers and when he gets experi- ence with radar he will be a per- fectly good captain. ‘ Mr. Bell: "Does she interfere with the trade of the 'Carrol'f” Ply Premier Jones: "I don't think so. Mr. Bell: "The Government formerly owned that schooner. did it not?" Premier Jones: We had a mort- gage on it. We didn't take that ship down there to carry live- stock. ihoulh there was some de- mand for that. We took the live’- stock ‘ "‘ ‘ ‘y; but we thought a lot. of this outport trade in farm produce could be developed, and we concentrated on that." He ' ‘ -‘ other pro- ducts, pasteurized milk which was taken there in excellent con- dition. to places where fresh milk was a luxury. "And when the ice- cream came in. they lined up like you used to line up when you could get beer first from-the van- dor's." he added amid laughter. Dr. llacllliisnz “Why don't you swap the milk for beer there?" Premier Jones: "You have to Mr. Bell: "You are not auowed into St. John's?“ .v ‘Premier -Jonas: "We don't take her- .

Premier Jones: "I can't see much that we can buy; but they have to get their food somewhere, and they might as well buy from us." He added that it was his intention to press for furtherance right for shipping through the port of Charlottetown. ~ Again chiding the Opposition on being "coached"on their criticisms about the Eskimo trade. he said it was reported they had a paid “ghost writer" who could be seeif occasionally fllttin-g around. “They say that when he feels particular- ly good he rings people up on the phone anli brags that he makes all the speeches on the other side." Dr. MacMillan: “Who writes your speeches?" Voice: “He just makes them by. MacMillan: “That is the rea- son they are so bad." Premier Jones went on to twit the Opposition leader on mlspro- nounclng the word. “orgies" in his speeches. which he took as an in- dication that somebody had pre- pared his material for him. Dragger Operations On the question .of draggers the Premier referred to an editorial in a Saint John. N.B.. paper. criticising the Opposition leader of this Province for his antiquated ideas in opposing this develop- ment. He cited the dragger op- erations from the neigh ring Provinces. and stressed the ad- vantage of making a trial of them here in the eastern part of the island. One suggestion the Government had received in con- nection with irhls business was the possibility of establishing a ‘half million dollar fish plant here. He went on to discuss the sup- erior quallty of fish caught well oftshire. and the fact that the great demand new is for frozen fillets. _ Dr. Macllililian: "Suppose we have a lot of big draggera operat- iiu. What becomes of the ordin- ary lnshore fisherman?" Premier Jones: “In New Bruns- wick and Nova Scotla he is more prosperous than ever. If you go to Caraquet you will find that out." Mr. Richard: “They are more prosperous than they ever were." Premier Jones: “Certainly if the Island does not make a move, other people will have control of- the waters around our shores. it is a movement that we can’! stop. It is a kind of irreelsta-bis force. Possibiywhen it meets an im- moveablo body like the Opposition something tmy_happen." Big issues Ignored One of the most remarkable things about the debate was the fact that the Opposition had noth- ing to talk about but "little things" the Premier said. There were’ such big‘ questions as freight rales, Transportation Cornmlsslon hear- ings, the proposal of the C. N. R. for the use of Provincial highways. the coming Dominion-Provincial conference, etc. “Not a word about these things." he said. "What is the point ofikeeping an Opposi- tion at~ali, I wonder?" Mr. Phillip Mathoson: “Are you going to get more money?!‘ Premier Jones said the chief argument of the Opposition for raising money was the Pi-ovince‘s lack of Crown lands —' a matter which did not come up at the last Ottawa conference at all. They boasted of the Conservatives get- ting a few hundred thousand dol- lars. whereas this Government in its negotiations had obtained near- ly two million dollars “in one Jump" from Ottawa. "We‘ got more at one fell swoop in N47 — four times as much, as all the lit- tle pickings that you ling about; and we are going there again. and you didn't even discuss it." Mr. Bell: "Where is it going?" The Premier’ mentioned the pre- sentations made by Mr. J. 0. C. Campbel and Hon. Mr. Darby he- foro lit Royal. Commiaai n ‘on Transportation In Nova Scott: the legal counsel doing this work received at least 8100 a day. and they had expert assistance as well. There was some sharp ex- change on this subject between the Premier and Mr. Bell. it was a “poor Opposition." the Premier maintained. that had no criticism to offer except against civil servants. “You must pratty hard up.” he, taunted. r.

There is a long dose coming to you when we get you!" (Laughter). Continuing, the Premier dealt briefly with education, veterinary services, land clearance and drain- age. and health and welfare ser- vices. On the lstter subject he said he found it difficult to orient himself quickly enough to the ex- pansion in this department. How- ever. the leader of the Opposition said it was a good thing, and the Minister had said so to: so it must be good. Dr. MacMillan: "Yes, but ex- pensive." - . Premier Jones: “If you became Premier would you cut it down?" Dr. MacMiilan: “I would be Just as bad as you are. That is uncontrolled expenditure." Highwuyg On the subject of public works and highways. the Premier recall- ed that he had been in charge of this Department after Mr. Bar- bour’: resignation. He found it a difficult job. $625,000 had been vot- ed last year for roads. and when he took over it had all been allo- cated except $15,000. “I took fright immediately. and some of you found that I was is little peremp- tory with aome requests for road- work. due to the fact that I had only 815.000 to go on for the rest of the season." he said. He added that the Department had been fortunate in having men of the ability of Mr. Barbour. Mr. Mclntyre and Mr. L. B. MacMil- lan. He had brought -in Mr. Fran- cis White who was checking up on advertising notices on high- ways. road marking, etc. He also referred to the plans for providing better garage facilities for the Department in Charlotte- town. and to the new setup for snowpicw services which has been working very satisfactorily this winter. In reply to a question by Mr. Bell. he stated that a demonstra- tion oi snow blowers had been made. This eq ipment costs $35.- 000 arid the vernment has not bought it. There has been some experimentation in makinl I blower. which is now pretty well advanced. If this can be proven successful it will mean a saving over the manufactured machine. The Premier said an offer had been received of some deer as a gift to this Province. If Mr. Sav- ille wished to take these deer and place them on Boughton ls- iand for a year or two he could do so. They would re uire to be kept from crossing n the ice during the winter. however. He gave details of the‘ risk! requirements for the trans-Can- ada highway, which would rule village of Crnpaud and necessitate a diversion there. He also indicated that. Tea l-lill would have to be left out. The Kilisboro Bridge was also too narrow for the specifications. With regard to this problem. the Premier indicated that e discuss- ion iwith railway officials was be- ing arranged. Scallop Fishing Referring to the meme by his colleague Mr. Dougald Mackin- non on the possibilities of scallop fishing. the Premier said it was the intention to fix up a couple of boats to do some work in this connection. . Asked about Brighton bridge. he said he had received a sug- gestion that they knight build the bridge and make it a toll bridge. He did not think this would be very acceptable. It was also claim- ed that the Charlottetown her- bour was one of the best seaplane bases in the world. but bridges at Brighton and West River would spoil the harbour completely for such a purpose. l-la‘-referred to the fact that twelve persons who were getting unemployment relief had been ap- proached to work at $4 in day. and they reins because they were drawing while on relief. ‘The, farmers an also complaining about the difficulty of getting workers.

M. Roberts. Jr.’ Associated Press News Analyst A calculated or com- nsunist violence is spreading from Berlin through Western Germany. building mg) a highly explosive situation which contains the germs of another “war crisis" such as de- veloped over the Berlin blockade in the summer of 1948. The Communists are using their “youth" movement, patterned closely after I-litlerie, as the spear- head of this campaign designed to deifty and undenmins Western.auth- or y. Recent riots in Hsnnover and Hamburg are cited by Allied ‘auth- oritits as evidence of a transition of the Western com.mun' a into a “party of the barricades," determ- ined to provoke clashes between Wait Germans and Allied repre- sentatives. They are seeking to take advantage of disturbed polli- icai and economic conditions due to such things as dismantling. the sasr dispute with France. and in- creasing unemployment. In Berlin Comirnunist groups from the Russian controlled East Zone have begun to invade the voklng outbreaks getting themselves arrested. This is believed to be a sort of preview of what the Communists plan for May 28. when their newly intensified work with the German youth will be exemplified by a march on the Western sector. And it may be training for an ultimate putsch to take over the whole city. ‘me United states As putting troops -through special trainin in preparation for handling this gem- onstration. But. authorities ap- parently have not yet decided how stern their course will be. High Commissioner John Mccloy has said if anyone gets huit it will be thefault of the Communists. There are indications the Allies do not ivlsdi to step in unless the West- German police fail to keep the situation under control. But there is a. more imminent point of danger developing in Berlin now. Both the Western and Eastern sector authorities are planning ‘giant May Day dem- onstrations at the Brandenburg Gate, on the East-West demarcation ‘line and near the old burned-out lteichstag. The W t Germans plan to make its sh of what the Communists can expect if they cariy through their “lnvasion" threats ‘later in the month. ' Each side expoc‘ to concentrate approximately 500,000 demon- si.rato,rs. The Western demonstrat- ion will be a. city government pro- ject in, cooperation with the anti- communist labor unions. ‘IT.-zero have been wpeated clash- es between smaller crowds at the Brandenburg Gate since the war. What could happen if these crowds get out of hand is appalling to consider. The Russians, having failed to drive the Western Powers out of Berlin by direct sctio such as the blockade, and ill: lse having failed to make any eal political progress with the Germans. now are adopting tactics which have worked in Germany before. in the hands of the Brown mirts and Stomi Troopers. I: hardly seems lkeiy that Get- riisin memories will be short enough to let such a campaign get out. of hand again. But there are in Germany some elements that travel so far right they can easily reach the left. just as the Com- munists hnve adopted the tactics of Fascism. One vital need if these challenges are to be met is early establish- ment of new rules in Germany to cover political demonstrators who become violent. As everywhere, there is the problem of meeting Ccimmunisi tactics w'hiie,pre.serv- ing civil liberties. Also. the Allies don't want on their hands thousands of political prisoners from the East zone. causing an economic burden and providing a focal point for agitat- ion. ‘But to arrest a few score out of hundzeds or thousands of dem- onstrators, and then release them to repeat the process. is to permit the gradual undermining of all authority.

A. » T s LAKE SUCCESS. N. Y. March 27—(CP)—Russia tacky walked out of two more United Nations groups. voicing a new thrust at the United States and at Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt. The Russian-bloc boycott which started with the Security Council January 13. was thus extended to 11 U. N. bodia in protest against majority refusal to oust Chinese Nationalist delegates. The bitter attads against the United States was an addition to the formerly-xvutln.e w-aikout speeches. Mrs. Roosevelt, chairrnnn of the 18-member Human Rights Com- inlulon. angrily interrupted Sov- iet delegate Semyon K. Tsarapkin when he said she was furthering an American policy of using the U. N. for political purposes. Mrs. Roosevelt said: “We are not going to listen to propaganda speeches." Tsarspkin. however. was allowed to finish his address. He married out of the room after the Commission voted 12 to 3 supporting Mrs. Roosevelt‘: rui- ing that the Russian proposal to oust Chinese delegate P. C. Chang was out of order. Four hours later, Nikolai Kli- mov, a minor Russian delegate, staged another walkout from the 15-member Transportation and Communications Cornmluion. The vote approving the ruling of chair- man J’.
