Mr. Mcllure, who on ay 3 asked Mr. Howe if the Maple Hills de- velopment had been declared sur- plus by War Assets Corporation, returned to the question this after- noon during the debate in the Commons on housing, He told the House that veterans‘ 11011511‘? pro- jects on Prince Edward Island "had not. amounted to s great deal," and intimateddt was time for definite Federal Government action.

"One hundred families, most of whose heads are veterans are still living in this emergency accommo- dation at the airport," he said.

"Now the Provincial Government has given these 100 families notice that they must get out within s short time since this property has been declared surplus and will be sold in the course of a month or two. What is the intention of the Minister with respect to housing for these veterans?"

Mr. Rowe's Reply

Mr. Howe replied that he knew of no specific proposal that. his Department provide housing for the present residents of Maple Hills. Emergency housing was found there, he said, through agreement between the Federal Government and the City of Char- lottetown. The Dominion Govern- ment contributed the buildings and paid half the cost of conversion. The city was assigned to operate the development and collect the rents.

While the battle raged 10 miles west. of Jerusalem, the Interna- tional Red Cross awaited a. writ- ten request frcm Arab and Jewish authorities to reccnvert the Holy City into a neutral zone.

Nationalization of the iron and steel industry, prclnlsed by the Labor Government, is suggested for the present session of Parlia- ment.

One Labor member. Alfred lid- wsrds of Middlesbcrough, is in trouble with his Party executive over his opposition to iron and steel nationalization. He has said: "To put the steel industry in the hands of the civil service is suicide and it is treachery to the country."

Edwards has been summoned be- fore the executive to explain his position as he does not appear to be following the party policy on nationalisation. '

But others at the conference will listen eagerly to discussion of the public-ownership program. Bringing of industries and serv- ices under Government control has been followed by higher prices for
