Wellington-Huron REAO The Wingluun Advance-T'inies, Wednesday, July 6th, FOR RESULTS I Brussels, led in out the righteous the evil doers do could manage this great hotel just as efficiently as can any foreign organi­ zation. In fact all of our great Can­ adian Hotels are being very capably managed by Canadians, Some of the questions that have' been under discussion of late around Parliament Hill, are the questions of increasing judges’ salaries, amending the criminal code in respect to the supervision of betting at race tracks, amendments to the Canada Election Act, In fact there is still so much work to be done, so many of the esti­ mates to be scrutinized and examined that there is no doubt but that we will be at work here until the middle Since my last report to you from Parliament Hill you are all quite well aware that we have had a provincial election in Ontario, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate those of my colleagues who were suc­ cessful in once again winning the support of the citizens of this district. I refer particularly to John Hanna, John Root, Fred Edwards and Tom Pryde. I feel that their success was due not only to the fact that they represent a great party which under the leadership of, first Mr. Drew and then Mr. Frost, has given such sound stable Government to this province since 1943, but it was also due to their own personal integrity and the fact that they have left no stone unturned in their efforts to give good repre­ sentation to all the people of their constituencies. Periodically the question of the new Queen Elizabeth Hotel in Mont­ real is brought up in the House, You will remember that the Queen Eliza­ beth Hotel is being built in Montreal by the Canadian National Railways on the authority of Parliament. It is to cost about 25 million dollars. The money is being raised by borrowing and the security of the Government and the people of Canada is pledged as a guarantee of the bonds. After approval had been given and without further notice to Parliament it was announced by Mr. Gordon that he had made an arrangement by which the Hilton Hotel Corporation of the United States would manage this great Canadian enterprise. Since the credit of Canada is pledg­ ed to finance the construction and particularly since in the meantime, it had been arranged with Her Majesty’s consent to call this great new hotel The Queen Elizabeth, many people find thi,s arrangement whereby this management is to be handed over to a foreign corporation, objectionable. The matter has been raised in Parlia­ ment on a number of occasions and so far not only have we been refused information as to the exact details of the management contract but the gov­ ernment and the C.N.R. management have refused to consider dropping the arrangement. This matter was dis­ cussed in a special committee of rail­ ways this year and in the course of the discussion Mr. Gordon, president of the C.N.R. who defended the ar­ rangement, emphasized that the management and control of the hotel would remain in Canada..

Then suddenly just the other day, we find that the management and control of the hotel doesn’t remain in Canada but has been transferred to New York. This became evident when the "Good Roads Association’’ reveal­ ed that when they had written in to the C.N.R. asking for reservations for a convention in 1958 at the Queen Elizabeth Hotel, the matter had been referred to the Hilton Corporation in New York for a decision and final reply. As Mr. Drew said “What could be more humiliating than for Canadians seeking reservations in their own hotel which carries the name of their own Sovereign, than to have to go to New York, to a foreign corporation for a decision as to whether they will be granted the reservations or not.” I feel there is a definite disregard for the ability, the integrity and the per­ sonal attributes that are to be found in the person of many Canadians who ’“TORONTO-DOMINION BANK $27.00 MEN’S SPORT TROUSERS ... $5.95 up (Intended for last week) Chalmers Y.

So it was logical for a British boat builder to use light­ weight aluminum to produce a 650-pound punt capable of car­ rying a load of hay more than six times its own weight. In Canada aluminum is better known among farmers as a non- rusting, heat-reflecting, easily handled material for bams and roofs and silos... though of course it has many other farm uses, from milk cans to windmill blades.
