Mr. St. Laurentwas replying to I brief Presented by Father Eric Robin on belts-If of the people of the fishing community. The brief

' called for government action to

assist the canned fish industry. li: pointed out that the $15,000 received last year will now be denied the lid fishing families this year and that there will be no work after the lobster season ends.

The second point in the hriei was s. request to complete public works on the harbour.

“I am deriving valuable mow-

and the situation there has got to be modified," tho Prime Min. tater continued. "".l'iiie Department of Fisheries is making provisions for the industry to stand on its own feet."

"There is room for substantial ImPTOVBmeHt. in our handling of fish and Canada should consume much more of your product."

put to-a vo twice ‘in Parliament. Not one C. .F. member opposed it on either occasion, and on both occasions a larger percentage of the C.C.F. members of Parliament voted for it than did the M. P.'s of any other party, bar none.

"On the two votes combined there were 34% of the Conserva- tives absent, 3196 of the Liberals absent, 30% of the Social Creditors absent, and 25% of the C.C.F, ab- sent. .

“It may be worth noting that one Liberal, Mr. Pouliot, told the House of Commons he could not vote for the treaty, though when the second ‘vote came up he had changed his mind. Another Lib- eral isolationist, Mr. Lacroix, did not vote for it on either occasion.

“In the case of the two French- speaking supporters of the Con- servative party, Messrs. l-leon and Chapdelaine, they both voted to send representatives to negotiate the treaty, ..but neither voted to ratify it after it was signed.

"The C.C.F. in Parliament has given full support to the treaty."

Guardian Comment

The Guardian editorial which oc- casioned the sbove statement by Mr. Coldwell read as follows:

"It is to be hoped that Mr. Cold- well, when he speaks in Summer- side tonight, will explain the in- cident occurring ln British Colum- bia a few weeks ago, when the C.C.F. provincial convention re- pudiated the advice of the C.C.l-‘. National Council and refused to pass a resolution indorsing the At- lantic Pact. A similar incident oc- curred lost summer when the Mm- ltoba C.C.F. convention svcnt on ro- cord against the Marshall Plan. which is the economic counterpart of the Atlantic Pact. Early in the recent s ssion at Ottawa the_C.C.F. mustero only a handful of its members in support of the Atlantic Pact. It dirt somewhat better in a later vote, but the absence of many of its mcmbcrs on the first te-rt was significant.

" ‘In vicw of what is happening and what has happened,’ says the Winnipeg Free Press in this con- nection, ‘there Is no escape from the conclusion that the C.C.‘l=‘., pro- vincialiy and federally, has been infiltrated by Communists or Com- munist aypipattiizera to a degree which should give Mr. Coldwell and his associates in the inner council of the party serious pause.’

“More serious than the internal trouble of the C.C.F., however, ls the possibility of an election stale- mate with Mr. Coldweli and his associate ‘Liberals in a hurry’ hold- ing the balance of power. The ex- tremists would be in the driving ssst, and there is no question but that progress would be accelerated in a direction which old-time Lib-

wnuid regard with grava ‘no.0

PRIME MINISTER

(CcsaitimIdfsomPegsl)

an. at. uurmt said first every- when h Canada satisfaction has been caressed that the dream of the fathers of cotafodera ion has came true and be suggested that the new province should prove -s 800d. market. for the surplus agri- culursi products o! Prince Edward island. He dwelt briefly with the North Atlantic Pact, which he des- cribed as an .,. em to stand together by 1e who have the sacno Christ traditions sndtihe desire to I-VOId another was.

Mr. Bt. Laurent said "there has been an extraordinary increase l the gena-ai prosperity of Canada since i945. Of course there may be spin! individuals who haw not felt i: but they must be rather few and I think that the people of Prince Edward Island feel that they have shared in the general increase of prosperity.

Trade Policies

"We have had tirade policies that have favoured the creation of prosperity. ‘Ihc resourcefulness of the numbers of the present gov- ernment has prevented serious dislocations in our economy."

He gave much credit for this isvouruble condition of trade to the Minister of.’ Trade and Com- merce, the Hon. CD. Howe and said. "He will know where to go to find any market that any man ca find to market Canadian pro- du ts."

The Prime Minister described this Province as the greatest pro- ducer of seed potatoes on the North American continent and eald that it is due to "the indus- try of the people but also to the methods ot production discovered in the experimental stations oif the Federal Department of Agricul- titre."

He said that the quantity and quality of oysters harvested hcire is due to. "the application by the fishermen of the discoveries made in the biological stations of the Department of Fisheries."

Dealing with social sewrity measures put into force by Lib- eral Governments he said that the

pl JALIEAAI- insurance fund contains nmv over i500 million dol-

srs. »

He referred to old age pensions and said that his Government had recently raised the monthly sm- ounts by ten dollars. He also dealt with the Family Allowance Act and said that over seventy thous- and dollars comes into Prince County every month through the application of this act.

Ho also dealt with the health services ,now being made available through Downirrion Government

the Premier. posed in the Speaker's gran

ti. In the matter of transportation he said that the new car ferry is a concrete example of what has been done in this field.

Wests Point Ferry i

"Mr. MedNaug-lrt," he said, "has been insisting that another ferry should be provided to give to the people of the upper part of Prince County the service provided by t?" wood, ‘ J Caribou ferry to the people of the other end of the Ia- lsnd. It may be that he is right. The ferry service at Wood Islands certainly performs a valuable ser- vtce. The proposed new service has to be carefully investigated and reported on es to its r6991‘- cussione to the Canadian econ- omy. 1t can and should be PTO- vided if it can be demonstrated that it can be done to the N110- fit. of the Canadian economy-

"I am. sure that Mr. MscNatlslll snd his friends will go before the royal commission of transportation to show that it is necessary and practical."

Mr. 8t. Laurent quoted at length from a speech given recently by Donald Gordon, deputy governor of the Bank of Canada which showed that with a population increase of t8 percent the production 0! the country is up by 75 lmwm- 3° quoted other figures in show thbi the consumption of most products has increased tremendously and that savings have also increased. "r suggest to you." he sold. ‘"1" my colleagues and I happened to be there iwhiie this was taking DIR"- We feel that. in the interests of the car-radian people it might. not be unwise to retain us anothm‘ 1W1‘ or five years."

Opening Remarks

In his opening remake he spoke of the charm of the Island as he has experienced it in the last twenty-four hours. Referring to Mr. MacNaught. he said tllM he has rendered great service to the Department of Fisheries by keep- ing it up on the needs of the cast crmsi: tiiiieti-i. "not." he said. "Mr. MacNaughCs responsibiW-Y l0 the Fisheries Department has not made him less active to the interests of the farmers. He hsd three illustrious predecessors in this county llld has had to live up to a high stand- ard. it was quite an undertaking for a young man to discharge the duties of his constituency following Mr. King. Mr. MacLean and the late Col Ralston."

Tn introducing the Prime Minister. Mr. MacNaugtit said he was entitled in a friii measure of praise for the consummation of the Atlantic P t and sa’rl that his leadership wlll promote the welfare of the little people against the greed of mated interests.

Premier Jones said that the four Maritime Provinces alto-
