This is established custom: and. as everyone knows. "custom must be indulged with custom or custom will weep". Nor are the two views fundamentally at variance. What pleases one group of partisans will amuse the other. so both will benefit. It doesn't matter anyway, so long as sound thinking is followed by wise ;aCll0n for the good of the area as a whole.

It is likely also that educational problems will come in for a good deal of discussion. as well as the federal proposal for a national health insurance scheme. It is expected that the Premier will make an explanation of the reason for delay in establishing a frozen food plant, to which reference was made last session. and that he will discuss in detail the new llillsboro Bridge project under the trans-(Ian- ada highway scheme.

Even in the Gulf of Aqaba where President Eisenhower has said that the United States will send a "trial ship" to test Nasser's intentions. no force or show of force is to be used under any circum- stances. Should Nasser interfere with the ship in any way, the matter will simply be referred to the World Court which usually takes about ten War: to render a judgement. Mr. Eisenhower's "every-means-short-ob war" technique has certainly given Nasser and his accomplices plenty to laugh about in their convivial moments.

Shortly lifter Ilic Spr.1l.cr took his chair at It ltt'l0l'l(. Mr Martin of Queens inoicd a iiiotion which iias disciissctl uiitil ariioiirnnicnt of the sitting ivliicli came just be- fore one o'clock Tuesday morning.

The motion and discussion there- on t-onrcrncd .1 topic which was quite faiiiilisir in Ilic Canadian Parliament. Hy nioving for a copy

all reports. uurcspiindence and other information respecting winter rnmniiinicalinn and the con- slrurtion of a tunnel between the island and the mainland. ltlr. Mar- tin iias able in fnciis the attention of the Mouse upon the needs and grievances of his Province. in what a Nova Scnlia member de- scribed as ”his most assertive tones" the senior member for Queens pointed .1 vivid picture. of Ihc situation on the island where freight uas piling up waiting for shipping.

He declared that the trade of the Province was paralyzed be- cause of the Federal Government's failure to do its duty. He warned the Government of the dangers of accession unless it showed a great- er desire to carry oiil the terms of the union.

INADEQUATI-1 SI-IRVIFE

Mr. Martin deplored the inade- qii.'ic)' of the boat service. This was bill a hard task for him. since in will t-nniniiinication with the mainland had been interrrupicd for M days and in 1905 for fifty nine days. After outlining the long and unhappy slnry of nnndulfil- merit of Confederation terms and the rPt)f'nlP(l Island protest against its treatment. Mr. iylarlln dr- clared that the ronsiriiction of a tunnel was the means for meeting Prince Fldwarrl islands needs.

The prnicct was far from new and the well-brictctl nit-uibcr read from a letter of tlic lirilish (Tol- onlal Secretary written to the Govenor Gent-i'.1l of (lanada in 1886. "There seems to be reason for doubting whether any satia- factnry conimnnit-atinn hv steam- ship can be rcgiilarlv niaiiitained all the ycnr roulitl iiliich make; it all the iiuire iiuporllini that the proposed lllI't.'Illlt' xnhivay should receive a full. and if feasible. favourable cnnculrintion on the D8" "7 the covcrnmr-nt of Canada "

Mr. Mzirlin .ilm read into the

Ntcord a letter from Sir Douglas

Fox. the distinguished engineer who. in 1890. had surveyed the straits for the tunnel project. in November 1906 Sir Douglas had written the Rev. Father Burke of Alberton that new modes of con- struction might make it possible to construct a tunnel for less than the 8l0.000.000 iiizure he had or- iginally cstinialcd.

MR. .l. J. HUGHES

Although Mr. l.cfiirge,v. the member for Prince. claimed that. as st-conder of the motion he had the right to follow Mr. Martin. the Speaker gave the floor to Mr. J..l. Hughes the Kings County member. Mr. Hughes. the only Liberal in the Island's represent- ation in the Tenth Parliament. was not so aggressively critical of tlic Laurier Government as his Queens colleague had been. He neverthe- lcss gave strong support to Prince Edward Island's claim to improv- ed service. He told the House of his investigation into the subject of building a tunnel and gave evi- dence of the feaiilbllity of the pro- ject. He declared that there was no reason why the building of It tunnel should be considered beyond the power and resources of Can- ada.

When the member for Prince had his say. he made a vigorous and highly critical speech and warned that the people of the Province were ready to take al- most any steps to have their rights guaranteed in them. in urging the building of a tunnel he read a letter from a New York engineer who estimated that a tunnel could be built on the specifications K S9.000.00tl.

Mr. Lefurgey brought out an im- portant argument which merits far more consideration than it has over yet received. He pointed out that all the northern territories of the country had been incorpor- ated into the provinces adjoining them. He atated "We have as much right In the resources of the new territory. to the Cobalt; and other rich mining dlatrlcta aii any of the other provinces." With some altar: of the natural wealth of these regions Prince Edward island could have built the tunnel itself.

Mr. A. A. MacLean. the other Queens member. made a strong appeal for action and warned that there must be no more humbug ging on the matter. He gave a detailed account of the shipping and communication problems and called for the immediate enm- mencement of work on the tunnel. OTHER PIOVINCES

After the islanders had had their any. members from the other Dro- vincec joined in the discussion. Hon. L. P. Brodeur the Minister of Marine regretted that the flag

of secession had been waved. He declared that the terms of Con- federation did not call for the building of a tunnel and be ex- pressed the opinion that the com- munication and transportation lit- uation had improved over the years.

Another Liberal member. F. R. (farvcll of New Brunswich. said that he did not think any govern- ment slioulti be blamed because Prince, Edward islandis surround- ed by water or because the straits of Northumberland are fill- ed with icr at certain times of the year. But after delivering himself of this wltticism he went on to endorse the island claim and rightly observed that in projects for the welfare of the country the question as to whether they were paying propositions was not necessarily the big consideration.

c..w. Fowler also of New Bruns- wick gave his full support to the Island plea and said that if the government put the matter to a vote of the House of Commons the majority of members would favor it.

Two Nova St-olla members. Mac- Donald and Chiimlm. also spoke. and while not hostile to the lun- nel project they appeared to believe that a boat service could be made effective. Mr. MacDonald was convinced that this would be the case if the harbour of Pic- tnu. in his riding. were used. Mr. Chliiolm firmly beleived that if Cape George in his constituency. were made use of all would be well!

From an Ontario member. Mr. Barr of Duffcrln. came a complete endorsation of the islands claim to a tunnel. He thought the Island had just reason for complaint be- cause "It must be admitted by all of its that the terms of Confeder- ation have not been carried out."

Mr. R. L. Borden. the Leader of the Opposition. declared: "We have pledged ourselves to maintain efficient and continuous communi- cation between Prince Edward Island and the mainland and we must maintain that by steam ser- vice if we can. if we cannot tul- lll the pledge given to Prince Ed- ward laland by that meanrthen we must face the project of a tunnel and face it without delay."

Il IUIIE 'ro TELL DOCTOR

IF YOU IIAVI AN UDCEI

AI ulcer is not I conftdcntail matter. In fact. with so many

and others sufferinz ulcers theac days. it has al- hccomc a subject for every- euveraatlon. when you consult a doctor for up trouble at all. certainly you alluuld inform him immediately if you have. or think you have. an ulcer. even if that isn't what is bothcrlu you. CHEST SURGERY

If you plan to have any chest cursory done it's extremely im- portaat that your surgeon is aware of any uiecr you may have.

This is eapeciali, true In cues of pulmonary tuberculosis.

Howcve . not many patients with pulmonary TB will also have a peptic ulcer. but there are some unfortunate: who have both. COMPLICATIONS DEVELOPED

A recent study in England dis; closed that 15 persons developed a complication of their peptic ulcers following operations for pulmonary tuberculosis.

A complication such as gastro- intestinal hemmorrliage is a grave emergency. It's not always easy to control a bleeding ulcer.

Should a partial gastrcctoiny become y. the tubercular lung condition is likely to become WOFSP.

OPERATE SAFELY

in most. cases. we can operate safely even if an ulcer is present if only we know about it before- hand. We can treat the ulcer ad- equately and operate on the lung efficiently and without undue dan- (er.

This may be a rather drastic example of wlial can happen if you dont tell your doctor all about your physical condition when you ask him to help you. QUESTION AND ANSWER
