Steady Decline In Local Unemployment

Since April the number of unem- Dloyod people in Kings and Queens County. which is the area covered by the Charlottetown National Emal0y:lt.;Il'. ucnflce. lhas steadily pee no. n c eary part of :April more than 1000 people were .:.:i:;i:':t..:: .i.:s"i.i:1""i,"i..:””

w g one as late as April 15th. At the present time. the number of registered un-

.employed. Ind this includes male and female. is a. little over 500. Mimi! of these people are elderly, fitillqebrs at: table only to t i;.cce'pt

8 wor ecauae 0 parts dis- Iableineggl so the! number of fully

Emil or e D001)! in the two counties is far below the five hundred figure.

bTh!en nirrmber of people drawing i ene s as dropped from I. peak iof 1.500 in April to 275 at the lprescnt time. This also includes pmale and female. This total is not ,unduiyuhtgh(considering that the popua on o the two counties ts igiven as 60,000. As is usual at this ;time of year. skilled tradesmen for construction work are not ob- tainable and even labourers of sturdy type I-re not plentiful.

- tleuonal Unomploy-men.

The unemployed figures given during the winter months, with a total amount of 1.800. reflected seasonal unemployment. something which is encountered every year because of climatic conditions. "Seasonal employment." the Local Office -explains, "is something that has been with us since the Island was first settled, We have only two basic industries, fishing and farming. and both are season- at. You can't farm in the winter time and you can't fish." When fishing and farming operations are carried on. Charlottetown and other centres simply serve as "ser- vice stations" to supply machinery, repairs. farm feeds and the general wherewithal to carry on farming and fishing.

Trucks mil along the highway carrying materials to the co0nt.rv- side. garages and machine shops are busy and city merchants are selling to farmers and fishermen every day. All of this creates em- ployment and the seasonal em- ployment of the winter months gives way to almost complete em- ployment for the summer months. The situation now is probably at its best with constructioti work in full swing, mid farming and fish- in: flourishing.

The National Employment. Office officials state that more people probably are working now than at the same time last year and be- iforc the summer is out. there will ibe further improvcnient. The total

number of people on claims is also

less than one year ago by about twenty per cent. Altogether the employment people believe that it will be a better summer for em-

ployment than 1049, which was a

' very good year.

if. K. Stand On Schuman Plan Stirs Charges

LONDON. June 14-(AP)-The Labor Party's view of the Schu- man plan raiscd cries of "blunder- ing" in Opposition newspapers to- day, and brought sharp criticism from Europe's socialist parties. Confusion arose among both po- liticians and editorial writers over a pair of statements closely paral- lel but different in emphasis.

Prime Minister Attlee said yes- terday his Government wishes to help and not hinder the plan to integrate Europels coal and steel. Attlce held the door open to fut- ure co-operation in the plan. but said Britain could not go into it without knowing more about it.

Earlier the executive committee of the Labor Party-the Prime Minister is an ex-otficio member -put out a policy manifesto de- claring against a "supra-national authority" as proposed by Foreign Minister Sciiuman of France.

Further. it contended that Eu- ropean union. economic or polit- ical, is impossible unless all Eu- ropean countries adopt the social- isl idea of economic planning: that is. government controls over enterprise.

Questioned In Commons

Meantime. under questioning in the House of Commons today. Stale Minister Kenneth Younger said Britain intends to try to make ”a contribution. if we can, at a later date" to the coal-steel pool. He refused to say what the contribution might be.

"Folly at the helm!" exclaimed the Conservative Daily Graphic. "What a mess the Government have made of their handling of the Schuman proposals! They have blundered from one false position to another...the suspicion is cre- ated that the present Britiah Gov- ernment want a socialist plan- and will not accept any other."

Some other newspapers. how- ever. described Attlee's position as "prudent."

The Liberal News Chronicle said the two statements raise the question as to which is the voice of the Labor Government. Aitlee. the newspaper said. expressd him- self with "admirable moderation" in an anxious effort not to slam any doors in the face of the French, but failed to reconcile the "much stiffer suspicions" voiced by the Labor Party. '

French Reaction

In Paris. the central committee of the French Socialist Party ex- pressed sharp "regret" at the Labor Party manifesto.

French Socialists said they can not agree with the British Labor Party that a unified Europe must he made exclusively by socialists. since that ivoiild mean an indefin- ite delay.

(Reuters News Agency, in an interview with Denis Hcaley. in- ternational secretary of the Labor Party, quoted him as saying that there already has been "substant- ial agreement" with the French on the subject.

("The French Socialist Party appears to have taken up an atti- tude almost identical to that of our Party." Henley told Reuters. ”I don't anticipate any wide diver- gencies of view will appear at the conference?)
