its main strength from prairie

farmers, openly defied the
federal transport controller

when he called for more box-
cars in the spring of 1956.

The CPR was also threaten-
ing an increase in the lower
freight rates on Prairie grain
for export.

Ottawa was also asked to
open a vast aid program for
farmers — parity prices, a na-
tional food bank for surplus
food disposal, long-term cred-
it for farmers; increased pay-
ments for crop failure and oth-
er benefits,

The 400-000-member Cana-
dian Federation of Agriculture
urged the government to es-
tablish floor prices at 70 per-
cent of parity, but the farm
union wanted full parity for
produce sold in Canada.

‘SPECTOR GENERAL”

VICTORIA, B.C;

Highways Minister P. A. Ga-
glardi told the legislature
Tuesday this week that major
attention will be given to work
on the Trans-Canada Highway
during 1947, because ‘‘we must
have all construction let by
1958 so as to meet the closing
date of 1960.”

(During the September 1956
election campaign the Socred
government was roundly criti-
cized for lagging in Trans-
Canada Highway construction.
At that time it had the worst
record of .the four western
provinces; only 177 of its 692
miles completed as compared
with 154 out of 305 miles for
Manitoba, 305 out of 414 for
Saskatchewan and 196 out of
292 miles for Alberta.)

In a speech chock-full of
bombastic claims for Socred

achievements in all fields of
endeavor, Gaglardi blasted the
CCF “crepe hangers” and
“phophets of doom” and pre-
dicted a great future for B.C.
“providing we get a Social
Credit government at Ottawa.”

While lauding the accomp-
lishments of the PGE, 4 CCF
member reminded Gaglardi
that four years ago, in a speech
at Squamish, the highways
minister had made no mention
of a PGE extension southward
but had advocated a road over
the watershed instead.

“Any statement I made in
Squamish Ill face up to and
stand behind,’ shouted Gag-
lardi.

(The next speaker Gordon
Dowding reiterated the
charge that Gaglardi in his
Squamish speech had talked
about a road over the water-

é |

shed, while the CCF were call |
ing for an extension of
PGE plus a highway in c!
junction.) 1

Much of Gaglardi’s spect
was devoted to political at
tacks on Ottawa’s “tight mdm
ey” and predictions that -

Soered “On to Ottawa” malt
could not be halted. An

“You'd better detour aru)
Saskatchewan,” observed 4
CCF member. Ae

Gaglardi’s impassioned
mon in the House bore util
relation to the printed speé
handed to the press pefore }f
spoke. Using only notes te
guide himself, the lay-preay |
er turned politician stray?! .
far and wide from the tex
which contained many intel
esting facts and figures he fall
ed to touch on in his two-h0!
peroration. ‘
