Douglas Tuesday night used a statistical comparison with the rest of Canada to support his claim that the Maritime prov- inces have been "the Cinderella of Confederation." Speaking to a rally here in the centre of the Westmorland riding, now held by Liberal Mrs. Margaret Rideout, Mr. He still refers to the subject of integrity in government. For instance, he said here Tuesday night that Prime Minister Pear- son had issued a code of ethics telling his ministers "'to be good and if you can't be good, be careful." But Mr. Diefenbaker now seems to be concentrating more on the policies he says 'the Con- Douglas said the average in-|seryatives. would introduce if come in the Maritimes is only two-thirds of the national aver- age, wages are lower, the cost of living higher and unemploy- ment greater than the national average. The fault lies with the people of the region themselves for|high elected Nov. 8. He went to some pains before a full house of some 1,100 per- sons in the armories' here to outline his plans for a consumer loans act which would "protect Canadians against exorbitantly interest rates on credit continuing to return members of| purchases." the old-line parties to Ottawa "who have never spoken out for the Maritimes", he told a crowd of about 500 in a hotel ballroom. |,, He said industries must be created in the Atlantic prov- inces to stop the annual migra-| tion of workers from the area and to halt "the export of jobs" by shipping away natural re- sources for processing in other parts of Canada or other coun-| tries. For this purpose, he proposed | establishment of a government- sponsored and operated national industrial development corpora- tion to develop industries in eco- nomically - depressed areas where there is unemployment. He said such loans would be aimed at helping urban dwell- ers to improve their homes and to buy such items as furniture. Mr, Diefenbaker suggested the interest rate would have to be slightly higher than five per cent, TAX RELIEF Mr. Diefenbaker repeated that Conservative govern- Cieut would allow home-owners to deduct municipal taxes up to $500 when calculating federal in- come tax. This would provide relief for hundreds of thousands of Canadians, he said. He again outlined the Con- ancy fer_party unity. He said there are greater things in life than nursing ill feeling and that he is prepared to hold out his hand to persons 'who had left the party. Earlier, at a Sudbury press conference, he said that Rev- enue Minister Benson has not answered his question concern- ing the income taxes of a.com- pany formerly headed by min- ing promoter John Doyle be- cause it would be embarrassing. Mr. Diefenbaker asked Mr. Benson to make public the amount of the out-of-court set- tlement reached with Canadian Javelin Ltd. of which Mr, Doyle was president.

SIMPLE QUESTION "What percentage of the claim was accepted?" Mr. Diefen- baker asked. 'It is a very sim- ple question," The Conservative leader also said Prime Minister Pearson and Transport Minister Pickers- gill have evaded his questions about the pledge, later with- drawn, of six Social Credit MPs to support the Liberals after the 1963 elections. EDMONTON (CP) -- Prime Monday night in Fort William, |Minister Pearson, _campaigning hard in Conservative territory, delivered appeals Tuesday for the return of western Liberals in the Nov. 8 election. The Liberal leader told party rallies here and at nearby West- lock that the Liberals plan to exchange their minority govern- ment position in the last Parlia- ment for a majority. It will need good representation from the West.
