Linnr Chcvrier fcai'i last rsht Canada-United States trade relations have rvcr fcet-n is bad at present. Speaking at a rally in St. Charles Hall for Russell Liberal candidate and MP In Ian house, J. Omcr Gour, Mr. Chevrier dolivm-d an hour-long speech attacking Tory trade policy and that party's "two-faced policy towards Quebec." A near capacity crowd of 200 despite the nearby attraction of a $40,000 fire heartily en-! dorsed the speakers warning that the PC's, if Riven the chance, "will kill our trade with the U.S.? "The Liberal policy of expanding trade Instead of restricting it, as the Conservative have dene, would provide more jobs." he said.

"Prime Minister Diefenbaker said he planned to divert 15 percent of our U.S. trade to the United Kingdom and then after the Canada-United Kingdom trade conference, three times refused to answer me In the Commons when I asked 'how much' trade had been diverted. Diefenbaker Regrets "I've heard recently that Mr. Diefenbaker regrets ever suggesting diverting trade from the United States. With good reason, as almost Immediately after the move the States cut off 15 percent of our oil exports perhaps there's a relationship between this 15 percent and Mr.

Diefenbaker's. "The Financial Post reports the U.S. considering cutting our uranium exports by 1M0 or 1902. Maybe the government is not at fault but it's strange that once again we are in danger economically with a Tory government in power. "Mr.

St. Laurent always said good government doesn't mean good times but it helps. Let me suggest that bad government means bad times." As a solution, Mr. Chevrier said Canada's Industries should up their production to provide goods that we now "have to go outside for." Mentioning Canada's booming iron ore trade and ever-increasing uranium exports, he added, "1 say expand our trade with the United State's not restrict it." Switching his attack to the Conservative campaign in Quebec, the former minister criticized the "two-faced policy of the Tories that is again threatening the national unity of this country. "During the Borden regime, the Conservatives destroyed the unity that it had taken Sir Wilfrid Laurier years to attain.

Then it took Mackenzie King and Ernest Lapointe 30 years p-1 i t- I iVV 1 yv I if: 't-JX-k teachers' salaries, leaving the municipalities the responsibility only of paying for school buildings, thus easing the oner ous tax burden on real prop- erty. 3 Have the provincial gov ernment provide scholarships for worthy students to attend university since, at present, only seven percent of the 000,000 annual cost of university students' board, lodging, and tuition fees is paid by the government and through scholarships. Other points made by Mr. Wintermeyer In his half-hour speech were: 1 He charged the Frost gov ernment with "irresponsibly spending its way to improperly claiming a surplus each year by excluding payment for capital expenditure from the annual budget Ontario's debt has gone up by $373,000,000 in the past 10 years, all in a period of booming prosperity. 2 Mr.

Fro.it 6atd a year ago hi intended to pay-as-you-go to the extent of 65 cents on the dollar of all capital expenditures. But actually he paid only 45 percent, and the fore cast for next year is he will pay off only 33 percent on such expenditures. Deficit Financing' 3 Last year, Ontario's debt went up by this year it is going up by and next year by $150,000,000. Where is this deficit financing going to end? Shortly, Ontario will have dif ficulty In borrowing to carry on its government, 4 The Liberal party can hold its head high because of the sound, fiscal policies it followed as the government from 1935-57. It budgeted for sur pluses in good times so that the government could 6pend more in time of unemployment, such as now, as suggested by Opposition Leader Pearson's proposal of $400,000,000 of tax cuts to ease unemployment.

Victor Hossack. vice-president of the West Ottawa Liberal Association, introduced Mr. Winter meyer, who is expected to offer $4 DOWN $5 MONTHLY Rustproof, warp-proof, rigid built to last the lifetime your home! Once installed, there for keeps! No put The Diefenbaker government's drive to reduce its imports from the United States is becoming effective but it is damaging the Canadian economy, two Elmdale Ward meetings of West Ottawa Liberal supporters were told last night.

The party candidate, George J. Mcllraith, John J. Wintermeyer, MLA for Waterloo North, and city controller Paul Tardif spoke at length on the subject at both meetings which attracted a total of well over 100 persons, "Granted the present government has reduced the imbalance of our trade with the United States, but how is it being dojie?" Mr. Mcllrjith asked. "It is the result of a virtual stopping of our imports of heavy capital equipment from the United States." The candidate said this equipment is required to develop new industries in this country, an activity which has practically ceased since the Tories took over last June.

"It is a bad story when the imbalance is reduced for that reason, but it is worse when it Is accompanied by the present unemployment we see in all parts of Canada," he said. "Don't let the Diefenbaker party try to escape it the Tories must be held responsible for it." On another aspect of trade, Mr. Mcllraith said the Conservatives slammed down their own iron curtain on Great Britain when it made its free trade proposals at meetings here last fall. "You Just can't do that and retain healthy understanding. You must, at least, examine such a proposal.

That they did not do, and as a consequence the Tories have damaged our trading position In Britain and the United States."

John J. Wintermeyer, Liberal MPP for North Waterloo, financial critic in the Ontario legislature, made thin flat accusation in address ing the Reform Club of Ottawa at its luncheon yesterday. "Last year, Premier Frost told the St. Laurent Liber.il government at Ottawa that Ontario needed $100,000,000 more annually from the federal government," Mr.

Wintermeyer pointed out. "Mr. Frost got oniy $12,000,000 more from the Diefenbaker Conservative government for this year and $22,000,000 more for 1933-59. He has accepted about 22 cents on the dollar in relation to his Mr. Wintermeyer said that is a disgraceful thing" that Canada, through Diefenbaker government policies, has lost the confidence of the United States "the people who would develop Canada with us." "It was a foolish decision that he made and apparently did it without seeking advice," Mr.

Wintermeyer said of the Diefenbaker proposal to divert 15 percent of Canadian purchases from the United States to the United Kingdom. "It just shows that the present government has little responsibility, little imagination and little leadership." Govt. Grant Con. Tardif said that the taxpayers of Ottawa can thank George Mcllraith and East Ottawa Liberal candidate Jean T. Richard for the fact today that the federal government Is paying $3,600,000 annually to the city in lieu of taxes on government property.

"That payment was decided by the last Liberal government and through the efforts of Mr. Mcllraith and Mr. Richard," he said. Mr. Tardif said there has been considerable talk of peace this campaign and of that he had this to say: "Because I am an old warrior and speaking from experience I say we need peace Ottawa and the only way to get it Is to re-elect George Mcllraith." He said that the present PC government Is encouraging fear in itsplf because it is afraid to make a decision.

One of the reasons Is that the cabinet is inexperienced. "Some cabinet ministers are not in because of thair ability but because certain sections of the country must be represented," he said. Safety Mr. Coldwell touched on a wide range of subjects. Ke hit out again at the Trans-Canada natural gas pipeline, the high profits made on stock offerings by members of Trans-Canada Pipe Lines Limited and Westcoast Transmission Limited, and said the CCF would nationalize all inter-provincial pipelines if in power.

He also said the Progressive Conservative government's public works program came too late to solve unemployment problems. He told the 500 persons who came to the 800-seat Alberta College auditorium that: "You can never end unemployment until you have, changed the basic economy from one of production for profit to one of planned production for use."

Mr. Gour listed numerous towns and subdivision that had spring up in his riding's eastern section "such as Manor Park, Alta Vista, ElmvaSe Acres and lots of nice little towns.

The population of the riding Is now 96.000 60,000 more than in 1945." "The Conservatives have done nothing in the last eight months f.xcept distribute the surplus the Liberals left them. During this period everything is going bad in far contrast to the 22 years of Liberal government," he added. Trefle Cousineau, long-lime party stalwart, was chairman of the rally. A dozen speakers shared the platform with Mr. Chevrier and Mr.

Gour. An oddity remarked on after the meeting was the almost complete absence of bow ties among the men in the Pearson-supporting audience. Public Works Results Seen By June CARP (SpeclaDAn end to the current unemployment problem and business recession in Canada by June 15 was forecast last night by R. A. (Dick), Bell, Progressive Conservative candidate seeking re-election In Carleton.

Speaking In the Carp Community Hall, he said the full implementation of government policy in relation to credit and the execution of major public works would be throughout Canada by June 15, and would result in the slack in our economic system being taken up. Contributing to this develop ment, said Mr. Bell, would be the ending of the Liberal tight money policy, and government policy in general. Commenting on Liberal pol Icies, the former Carleton MP held a copy of resolutions passed the January Libera! conven tion. "You will look in vain in this publication for Liberal policy as expressed in this campaign and this only two months since Liberal delegates met in Ottawa," he said.

J.

Coldwell said Friday night. "It is a matter the House of Commons must go into carefully and fully and with the best technical advice it can get. Parliament must make public safety its first regard." The 1 n's issue was brought into Mr. Coldwell's federal election campaign by union representatives here, who first approached the Socialist leader at a press conference and then questioned him at a public meeting on the CCF view of the Kellock royal commission report. The commission recently found in favor of a CPR proposal for removal of firemen from diesel locomotives in freight and yard service.

Unionist Asks Views P. L. Bahniuk, an executive of Edmonton lodge of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen, during a question period at the public campaign meeting asked Mr. Coldwell for the CCF views on the Kellock report. Mr.

Coldwell said he had not had time to study the report, but Parliament's first obligation in the matter would be to see that public safety was assured.
