We should be putting the welcome mat _out for all of it we can attract. This, we: note, is what they are doing nowadays in the Republic of Ireland, and with such success that the whole country is being transformed economically. In attracting industry to Ireland from, Britain, the United States and .the Continent, the government has utilized-every natural advantage, and then added inducements in the way of tax exemptions and constructive grants. The natural advantages lead off with the fact that Ireland, almost~ alone among European countries, has a labor surplus instead of a shortage. | Ireland now is operating under its second development plan which’ en- « visages a 50 per cent increase in real income by 1970 over 1960, which | means an average annual growth of | 44 per cent.

JOHNSTON | Montague, P.E.T. : WHO IS TO BLAME? Sir,—In reading a letter in your paper on January 2 by J; Harper entitled ‘West Prince Potential’, one phrase seems to ‘stay by me: “West of Alberton.”” Many articles have been writ- ten on this subject criticizing the disinterest shown by the Fed- |. eral Government in this area.: As the late Al Smith in his elec- tion campaigning used to say, “‘Let’s look at the Record.” Our records should show that many meetings were held in Tignish with representatives of our Provincial Government pre- | sent — at these. meetings ALL | | the preliminary’ work on two | projects which I shall mention — the Moss Plant and the Spe- cial Care Home for the Aged — was accomplished right here in this village —-‘‘west of Alber- ton”. ’ Usually, at these, meetings re- freshments were served and half promises were made rais- ing the hopes of those present that an industry for. this village | would be forthcoming. Then one day the papers carried. the story: ‘Moss Plant To Be Built | In Miminegash”. So much for the preliminary work done on that project. ‘ Our records should show, with regard to’ the Special Care Home, that the preliminary work on this project was ac- comrlished in the village.

Once again the headlines“ informed us that- the Federal Government made it's choice — “ Care Home “West of Alberton” —area—was again by-passed. The above explains how dis- couraging it is to try to get any industry working ‘‘West of Al- berton”, Miminigash” exclided- The reason for this could be “Two parallel lines never meet." the distribution of projects to the different communities in a proportionate manner, wil! never meet, causing frustration to all Is thie the reason that (ie area west of Aiberton is ‘the Tignish, P.E.1.
