Two Red Clay Birds Create Some Interest

The two birds were unearthed 19 years ago on the site of a long- slnce destroyed pioneer cabin near Peeterborough.

can for Itudy in community planning

The following excerpts are from the Hansard report of a speech lgiven on March 23 In the House of Commons by Mr. J. M. Mac- donneil. Q.C.. (Prugc Con. Toronto- Greenwood) in the i t debate:

"I come next to the question of the Maritimea. or. u we should now more properly call them, the Atlantic Provinces. So far as I can see. we have got to make an en- tirely new approach to ,this old question. People from the Marl- times -- leaders from the Marl- times - have recently used such language as. that they felt after talking with other people in Can- ada they had "received a slap in the face," or that they were re- tarded as merely tiresome poor relatives. or words to that effect. It is not surprising that they should have this feeling.

"The Maritime problem has be- come part of the landscape. One wonders sometimes if the Govern- ment has just decided that it will not really grapple with the ques- tion. but that it will merely push them off as tiresome people with whatever subsidy at the moment will keep them quiet. We have had many years of this and the last fifteen have been years of great activity when much could have been done.

A NEW LOOK

"I believe that we have got to take a new look at this problem, that we have got to get away from palliatives. So far we have nothing but palliatives - Commis- sions piled on Commissions, here I little railway rate concession and there I little help of some other kind. just bits and pieces. What we have to face is nothing more nor less than an entirely new ap- proach to this whole question. That great act of faith and imagination. the Confederation of the British North American Provinces. did not of itself. as the Sirois Report makes clear. assure the balance which an effective Federal system requires. It was clear from the outset that the Maritime: were taking more risk than the central provinces. They were risking their north- south trade to a far greater ex- tent than Ontario and Quebec were. Merclfully in the early years of Confederation there was prosperi- ty, optimism and buoyancy which set the Confederation off to a great start. In Great Britain trade was booming. in the United States there was tremendous railway ex- pension. in these circumstances for a few years the Maritime Provinces were able to prosper and the pro- mise of Confederation seemed as- aured.

FAR AWAY "To those now living in the

far away and for many years they have felt. particularly when prosperous times visited the rest of Canada. that they had not had a fair deal.

"Remarks made recently in the House of Commons have, I confess. startled me by the new light which they have cast on the situa- tion. The Membcr for Queen's. who has had wide experience both in war and peace. used language which startled me. He said at page 378 of Hansard "For more than 80 years Confederation has hung like a killing blight over the economy of the Maritimes."

"And more recently we have had it brought to our attention that only two years ago many men left the Maritimes to go to New Zea- land because there was no place In Canada where they "could get work. Sadly enough their venture was unsuccessful but what a com- mentary on things here at home.

on New Approach To Maritime Problems Urged In House

I. M. l' XCDONNELL .

"I feel that every Member of this House will feel that this should never have been allowed to hap- pen.

"A few figures - as to the eco- nomic comparlson between the Maritime: and other parts of Can- ads -, For the three Maritime Provinces in 1946 income per mem- ber of the labour force was S307 or 15 percent below the national aver- age. By 1949 the difference was 3573 or 23.1 percent. By 1953, 8770 or 22.7 percent. if we took this percentage as so much per head instead of per member of the la- bour force it would be high. "Now one or two figures as at the present moment. Taking un- placed applicants as percentage of labour supply in February 1956, the percentage for the whole of Canada is 11.7 percent, for the three Marltimes 17.5 percent, and for the four Atlantic. 19.0 percent. The figure for persons without job and seeldng work, as percentage of labour supply - whole of Can- ada 7 percent. the three Maritime: 11.1 percent and for the four At- lantic 10.8 percent. This is in Fe- bruary 1956.

"The actual figure of unplaced applicants is: 56.960 for the Mari- tlmes. and 77.195 for the four At- lantic.

KNOWN FOR LEADERSHIP "Are these people less capable. less energetic than the rest of us? The ll simple. - Wherev- er they go in Canada. the United States. or further afield. they dis- tinguish themselves. They are known for their energy and capa- city; they are leaders. There was a time not so many years ago when they had almost a monopoly of University Presidencies in Can-

Mmmmes mcse some" days are l ada. You could walk into any Uni-

versity President's office and be sure you would find a Maritimer. And though today a few from oth- er Provinces have crept in there is still a large quota from the eas- tern Provinces. Why have they not prospered economically? The rea- son is that things are weighted against them.

"While it has come about so gradually that we have almost come to accept it we should nev- er have come to accept it.

For several reasons the respon- sibility of this Government for this condition is unique and inescap- able. In the first place. as they so often remind us they have been in power a long time. In the sec- ond place. they have been spend- ing money by the billion while pre- vious government spent it by the millions. We hardly knew what a billion was. -

"Particularly in these last few

years when the Federal Govern. incnt has been spending manyi h' idredz of millions on defencel expenditures. much could have. been done in the Maritimes if. there had been any will to do it.l "Small-wonder that people fromi the Maritime: feel that they are getting the brush-off. Sinail wonder someone remarked the other day t after conference with people from, the central provinces. that he felt, like a man who had received a slap in the face.

GOVERNMENT RESPONSIBILITY "The truth is that there is no. reason whatever to believe tbatl this government :5 taken the mat-j fer really to heart. What indication has there been of any real accept- ance of the attitude of the mem-p her from In"erness-Richmond, when he said that he believcd that:
