No Grant in Estimates For Federal Building Project

0'l'1'AWA. March 19 -(Special) -Federal Government authorities have no intention of proceeding with construction of the proposed departmental building at Char- lottetown this year. This was clear in the main parliamentary estimates tabled by Finance Min- ister Abbott in. the House of Com- mons this afternoon. For the Charlottetown building, the ap- propriation is only 550,000 as com- pared with 5150.000 voted for 1951-52.

Contrasting with this cut in the Charlottetown building vote, an amount of 575.000 is in the esti- mates for a public building at Kenslngton. which last year re- ceived only 512,000. In King's County there is a revote of 550,000 for it. public building at Mon- iague.

Substantial amounts are allotted ihis year to various harbor im- provements in Prince Edward Is- land. They include 3375.000 for wharf improvements at Charlotte- town, 5592.500 for railway wharf reconstruction at Souris and 5445,- 000 for reconstruction of the rail- way wharf at Summerside. It is expected that cost of the Sum- merside wharf will run to nearly 31,000,000 and 'J. Watson 'Mac- Naught, Liberal member for Prince is hopeful of securing an additional amount for this pro- icrt in supplementary estimates.

The engineering marine works estimates comprise 5101.000 for breakwater repairs at isourls. In- dependent of the main contract there, 362500 for Holman's wharf at Summerside, and 560,000 for re- pairs to the breakwater at Rus- iico. A vote of 5156.000 is ear- marked for Savage Harbor.

Contract for the l-iolman's wharf job has already been awarded and work will begin this lilting. As to the Summcrside railway wharf. tenders were called last fall. and a contract will be let tow the end of the pre- sent mail I

Other projects in f-". E. 1'. in the estimates are 523,500 for break- water repairs at Bay Fortune; 856,000 for breakwater extension at Fishing Cove to be built short- ly: 523,000 for breakwater repairs at Graham's Pond, and 523,000 for a wharf replacement at Grand River South. Reason for this re- placement is that the old wharf was in an unsuitable location and most difficult to maintain. its location is being changed.

No Decis-i0Ti 0n Bill Presented f By Private Member

OTTAWA. March 19 - (OP) - Tlie Commons today debated with- out issue the vital problem of giv- ing Canada's children equal op- portunities for education wherever they llveranci whatever their econ- omic circumstances.

The discussion developed on a

private resolution by R. R. Knight (CCF - Saskatoon) urging the Federal Government to consider making financial grants to the provinces as a means of "expand- ing and equalizing educational op- portunity." . The debate. unfinished as the house rose. rounded out the first day of study of private members' legislation in this new session. Mr. Knight's resolution now goes to the bottom of the list, but may come up later in the session.

Earlier, Finance Minister Abbott. tabled estimates placing Federal Government expenditures in the 1952-53 fiscal year at a record peace-time total of s4,335.796,80l) and indicated they may go as high as 35.000.000.000. The 1951-52 est- imates totalled 33.730.587.837.

Divergent. views developed during the three-hour debate on educa-

on.

Drew Gives Support

George Drew. Progressive Conser- vative leader. threw his party's sup- port behind the resolution, but said he felt the best way the Federal Government could help the prov- inces to finance education would be for it to vacate provincial tax fields. leaving the provinces free to reap more revenue.

Jean Francois Pouliot (L - Tem- iscouata) suggested there was no point in the house debating the question until the Federal and Provincial Governments could ag- ree, as they could not up to now. on the divisions of constitutional authority.

Dr. Pierre Gauthier (L - Port- neuf) agreed that Federal aid is

f 4 and said it should be grant- ed through agreemento with the provinces. with provincial auto- nomy being clearly respected.

Suggests No "Strings?

F. D. Shaw (SC-Red Deer) sug- gested the grants should be "un- conditional" with no strings at- tached. The Federal Government should have no right to interfere

with provincial administration of education. I I Mr. Knight. a former school

The sudden conversion of farm- ers to the use of silos was rapped on the head last night. by Premier J. Walter Jones who spoke briefly at the annual meeting of the Prince Edward Island Dairymen's Assoc- iation.

A user of silos for 35 years him- self, Premier Jones in no way con- demned the use of grass silage but he did caution about two much emphasis being placed upon it. "I have had good results from the silage but I always have to feed some concentrates. This is espec- ially necessary if a. person wishes to get any cows up to 800 pounds or over," he stated

The Premier stated that he had always been amazed about how slow the dairy farmers were in re- gard to the use of silos. "Now they are all going to rim and get one. This is too great and two quick a conversion for their own good,'f he said.

"There is nothing wrong with hay if you can make it right'. he stated. The Premier stated that he had bought a baler which cost him more than 81.900. "11; was the best

investment I ever made," he add-

ed. He advised farmers to use fert- ilizer on their grass in the spring and thus bring along their hay about two weeks quicker. Follow- ing the first cut he advised the use of more fertilizer so that a farmer might be able to get a second crop of bay.

The Premier was followed by Mr. Marius Larsen of Carleton Siding who refuted the former's remarks about grass silage. Mr. Larson pointed out the advantages he had found in using silage.

In conclusion Mr. Larsen, 9. Euro- pean, stated he came to this Prov- ince 22 years ago with only a dol- lar in his pocket. a pair of overalls and B. smock. "I now own a nice little farm and a home and 1 like it fine," he added.

The shifts send A.D.P. (Arnold) I-lenney. 90, external undersecre- tary, to Paris April 15 as Canada's first ambassador and permanent representative on the new full- time North Atlantic Council.

The existing Paris embassy. headed by Maj.-Gen. George Van- ier, will be separate from Mr. 1-lenney's embassy. It represents Canada. in France. Mr. I-lenney will be Canada's spokesman in the 14- country Atlantic alliance.

He leaves the job of clerk of the Privy Council and cabinet secre- tary which he took in 1949: to go back to London as high commis- sioner, the job being vacated by Mr. wilgress. He was External Af- fairs undersecretary through most of the war.

A fifth appointment. not related to this shuffle, is that of Pierre Dupiiy, 95. a native of Montreal. who leaves the post as ambassador to Holland to become ambassador to Italy. No successor has been named to Holland. .

Reefer Car Pileup At Tormentine Caused By Severe Ice! Conditions

A pileup of 96 refrigerator cars and 152 carload of loaded freight in Cape Toxvnentine is caused, Railway officials said yesterday, by heavy ice in the Northumber- land Strait. The ice is badly de- laying operation of the car ferry Abegweit.

These cars are badly needed by Island producers to export their commodities to the mainland and until brought over will result in an increasing backlog of marketable goods here.

Railway officials expressed hope yesterday that the shortage of cars might soon be alleviated as it has been reported that ice conditions in the Strait have eased somewhat. -Mr 13. Graham Rogers, Director of Transportation for the Province stated yesterday that the railway has been up against the worst winter in 95 yearstso far as ice con- ditions are concerned and that they have done everything possible to expedite railway shipments. Even with the present bad lce'con- ditions the freight jam is not as serious as in former years, and ii the condition does start to ease off freight should soon be in normal operation.

It was hoped that at least three trips by the Abegweii. would be made last night unless the ice jammed up heavily again.

Under normal conditions, with the Abegweit making 6 crossings it can handle 104. freight cars in ii 24 hour period.
