ONTABXO PAO> LEVUI# Conservative Speaker Claims I4heral Goverument in Power Sa Long They Ignore Procedure The speaker asserted thaIt he could flot sec haw anv man ai polilical princiPle coulà disagree with the proposition that a Qov- ernment who lias reached such a paso should be removed. Mn. Macdonnell claimed that; the wa ' ln which the Liberal Gover en nt handied the Curnie repo w~as anoîher exampie ai ItsddTÉard for paliament - edtïrý efore the people ai Can- ada. Mr. Cumie had flot been, allowed ta continue his inquiny, in sPite ai the tact that he had told ai waste and inefficiency fan more castiy in ioss Ihan that cavered by actual dishoncsty. "Mr. Curnae's repart anly caver- cd 1 per cent ai what could have been covcred", he stated. "There are many hundreds ai mIllions: af dollars being apent on na- tional defence that are nat be- ing investigated by anyone". By halting the Currie investi-! galion, he sid, the govemfiment! had, ln effect, refused la allaw1, the taxpayers ta know their own' busIies. "This government ls flot aniy Ignaning myseli and the other eiected nepresentatives, fit là lgnonlng the people", the Con- servative M.P. deciared.

If you had been on a spending spree, do you flot lhlnk you could reduce your spending by 10 per cent w1thout undue ef- fort?" Mr. Macdonnell asked. The Conservative M.P. then turned ta the Piekeregll inci- dent, ivhich hie said has struck a "body blow" ta the integrity and Impartiliity ai the civil ser- vioc. "Mi. Pickersgill has been taken straight Into the Cabinet fmom his position as Clerk of the Pnivy Council wherc ail knawledgeabie people believe that ho was continuing the parti-' san actlvity which he had pre- viausly been entitled ta practise while he was speclal assistant ta the Prime Minister. When hie be- came .Clerk ai the Privy Coun- cil his partisan activity shouid have stopped at once", he as- serted. "Everyone knowà that lie is a pamty man ta his finger- tips, hawevem, and ta suppose thRt he cauld cease being a par- ty man when hie became Ciemk ôf the Pmivy Council is moon- shine". Mr. Mlacdonnell decIared that allowing civil servants ta take part in party politics in this way destrays the security and inde- pendence which the civil service should have. "This sort af thing can only result, if continued, ini a retumn ta the "spoils systcm", whlch wc escaped fram with dif- ficulty", the speaker said. Stili speaking of the Pickers- gi case he quoted an indepen- dent newspaper which £tated that "'His exàmple will convince inany pramising yaung men, that the way ta advancement in the public service is ta agree wlth the political views ai the gov- ernment ai the day. It is al shocking business". Little Tax Relief Given Turning ta the question af, high taxation, the Canservative financial cmitic declared that while taking $700,000,000 more a year than is nceded ta mun the government, the tax relief given b y the Liberals last Feb- i'uayhad been niicroscopic. The Opposition had asked for a relief in sales tax which would have helped the man in the street, but this was flot donc. Mr'. Macdonnell said he had pointed out in the House af Commons when the reduction was announced, that for a man eamning $2.400 his saving in tax- es wouid amount ta roughly one- thousandth af a cent per meal. The Conservative govern- ment, through elimination ai waste, wiil have the taxpayers ai the country samething warth- whle - the $500,000,000 meduc- lion promised by Mr. Dmew, he sald. Mr. St4phenson's Address Chancis Stephenson, Progres- sive Conservative candidate for IDur]àWn-- Riding,-, had -spoken priaio'aMi'. Macdanneli's ad- dress. He declarcd that the Lib- cral Government's action in caliing an clection for August 10 had disenfranchised 500,000 Canadian voters wbo would be away on hoiidays. "This is the first * .- since Confedemation that a mîd-summem election has been callcd", he 'declared. "Pre- ciausly they have always been held in the spring or fali when the flirmei's are flot sa busy and when chiidren are in schooi". "The oniy reason I can sec fan it is* that the gavernment is worried about the way the ex- port mnarket is vanishing and other things for which it can be biamed. People everywhere are candemning this action and it shows what little regard the govemfiment has for the people", ýhe asserted. Mr. Stephenson said that wher. lic was the Durham member in 1949 lie had painted out that United Kingdom markets for, agnicultural products werc slip-' ping away. "In 1949 we had 29 contracts with the United King- dam", he statcd. "In 1950 these, some means of doing business with hiem while she was in fi- nanciai difficuities". Mr. Stephenson stated that lie 'elt no animasity toward the .Libei'al candidate in Durham. "Johnny and myself are gaad 'riends-, lhe asserted. -I have tried ta keep persanalities out of the campaign and 1 am glad they have been kept ont". Dave Higgon, President of thec Bowmanvillc Progressive Con- ervative Association, who acted as chairman ai the meeting, in- troduced Mike Starm, M.P. for Ontario Riding, whom hle des- cribed as a farmen Oshawa miay- or and "anc of the best mayars Oshawa ever had". '*The present Liberal Goven nent is like a ship that has ceen at sea for a long time". Mr. Stami' declared. -There are bar- nacies adhering ta it and the ailors have become indolent. Trailerit'es -in Darlinglon Township Up in Arms Over Orders Io Vacale; Form Association Io Fight Dy.Liw The Darllngton Township Trailer Homne Cquncil was form- ed July 23 at a meeting of trail-1 er home owners et Roselyn Inn,1 on Highway No. 2, west of Cour- ,tice. Fifteen of the township's estimated 25 trailer homes were represented. The meeting elected Rsil Mapes, President; Ronald Free, Secretary; and Mrs. Marie Mas- chke, Treasurer. The meeting was called by Ar- nold Maschke, a General Mo- tors employee, to protest a Dar- lington Township by-law pro- hlbiting trailer homes. A few weeks ago, there were eight trallers parked in an or- chard behind the Roselyn Inn, but seven have left as a result of the township order to vacate by July 2. Maschke and his wife have ignored the order. There is no trailer, park In Darlington township, but 25 or more trailers are parked in farmer's gardens between Osh- awa and Bowmanville. Storms Construction Co. has been given speciai permission to park trail- ers in the township, Maschke said. The meeting drew up a five- point program to present to Dar- lington township council: 1. Recognition of trailers as year-round homes. 2. Co-operation between tral- er residents and other groups in the township. 3. Revision of the township by-law to permit indefinite parking of' trailers. 4. Construction of a modemn trailer park, or parks. 5. Taxation of trailer homes They have a "don't came" atti- tude and they feel nu one can take their place. When ships get this way they are taken into dry-dock to have the bamnacles scraped off and the sailors re- placed. That is what must hap- pen to this government, and the Progressive Conservatives are the oniy party who can do this."1 Pralses Mr. Stephenson's Record Alex Carruthers, President of the Durham Progressive Con- servative Association, in intro- ducing Mr. Stephenson, drew at- tention ta his record as a Mcmn- ber of Parliament from 1945 to 1949. "When Charlie Stephen- son was in Ottawa, Durham was one of the best-informed rid- ings in Canada", he stated. He mentioned bis reports ta the peo- pie of his constitucncy in the Durham newýspapers and in ra- dio brondcasts. "His mass of fyles for these yeams show how hard he worked", Mr. Carru- thers said. He pointed out that Mr' Ste- phenson hai. taken part in 151 debates dumîng his four years in Ottawa and compared this ta the record of th& ILiberal Member from 1949 ta 1953, whomn he said, had only taken part in two de- bates. Mr'. Carruthers also stat- ed that the Liberal Member had missed 97 out of a total of 204 votek during his tcrm. Mr. Carruthers also stated that the railway between Port Hope and Peterborough had been kept open during Mr. Stephengon's' termn in office but had been closed shortly after the present Liberal epresentative had been elected. "Mr. Stephenson was the best representative this riding ever had", he declared. "We must make sure we send him back to Ottawa again". Mr. Higgon thanked the speakers for taking time from their many duties ta be present at the meeting and also express- ed the appreciation of the gath- ering ta Mrs. Ethel Murray for acting as pianist. ta hulp support township sehools ande2ci-vices. The t'aller council's pi-am was endonled unaniffously. i"We 11ke tr'ailen lits, anid wc want ta continue living ln aur trallei-i," Mapes said. "But we! have ta show the reat of the people that we're willing ta pay aur ahane ai taxes." "A traller park would attract skilllcd workers fi-cm ather cen- tens la Oshawa and Bowman- ville,"' Masehke tld the meet- ing. A reclution was passed ta send a delegation ta the next Darlinglon côuncil meeting. BLACKSTOCK Mi-. and Mns. Roger Dorrell, Mântyn and Valérie, Ottawa, are holldaylng wlth Mr. and Mns.
