Leader Says Picture Is Vague Outlines Plans For All-Province Tour This Autumn OTTAWA—CP—A charge that tfce government hai left Parliament and the public in the dark on its policies. on natural gas pipelines, uranium purchases and other matters was made Thursday by Hon. George Drew, Progressive Conservative leader. He said at a press conference May Take Three Years To Complete Building Sub-Chasers OTTAWA—CP—The government's defence 'stretchout'' has embraced Canada's $210,000,000 destroyer escort shipbuilding program. It was learned Thursday that it may take another three years or more before the last oi the 14 submarine, chasers are in the navy's hands. But the navy appears to be none too concerned. An authority said highly-trained crews will be required to man the new radar- loaded ships and this training rmild not be completed in* a short time. Each ship, 3GG feel long and with a 2,000-lon displacement, will have a crfiw of 270 officers and men. Thc first, the St. Laurent, now is under-going builder's trials (Vlck- cn of Montreal) and may be commissioned in October. MANY PRODUCTION DELAYS The last of them, whicii tbe navy had anticipated might be in their hands by 1957, will not be rwdy for commissioning until possibly late in 1958. The new target ij on the basis there will be no further major changes in the ships which have been plagued hy persistent production delays and mounting costs. The original estimate of $8,000,- 000 each was boosted last year to $15,000,000. Defence production officials said this Is the current cost for each ship. Thc-estimate will remain at that figure unless there arc some major building changes. The original target was* lo dc liver six of the ships hy 1956 and the other eight bv 1957. Now the! news in connection with a on both coasts #and along the St. Lawrence river.' , Last March Production Minister Howe .disclosed it was official policy to reduce the production tlow "of some defence items to extend deliveries over longer periods and thus keep plants busy for pc* rlods longer than might otherwise bc possible. But thc rate of production of such other items as radar equip- ment for the.. "Mid-Canada" early warning system is being speeded. Overall defence production outlays dropped in the 193*1 calendar year by $200,000,000 to 51,009,200,* 000. This year there may be a slight rise, mostly because of higher outlays for the radar dc* fence network in the north.

An informant said lha key to production is in delivery of the en* sines and gearboxes to the Canadian shipyards producing thc craft. If pressed, the John Inglis plant at Toronto could step up production of the power units by putting workers on a round-the-clock work schedule. WORLD SITUATION BETTER But world tensions had eased.

NO RELIGIOUS LIBERTY VATICAN CITY (AP) - The Vatican - published 1'Osservatore Romano declared Thursday therc is no religious liberty in Poland, despite "more or less convivial declarations."

On government policy for Its purchases of uranium, he said, Prime Minister St. Laurent, Trade Minister Howe and an anonymous official have made a series of conflicting statements which left the picture vague and resulted only in market fluctuations of uranium stocks.

Parliament had nat bcen advised, and members still did not know details of the deals. Mr. Drew said his party's extended filibuster against the government's defence production act had focused press and public opinion on thc issue and resulted in Ihe government yielding to demands for a time limit on the other topics at an hour-long press conference at which he outlined plans for a two-month, 15,000-mile tour across Canada this fall.

Special "second century" dinners, marking the start of the Conservative party's second century of existence, will be held at Winnipeg.

Late in the session, the prime minister had said the cabinet was t'onsiderin*- three alternative pipeline projects. But later Mr. Howe had said he did not know of them.

COVERED WIDE RANGE Dealing with other matters In the wide-ranging press.conference, thc opposition leader s*id: 1. An early start on a national health insurance plan depends on the amount of preliminary work done before the Oct. 3" federal- provincial conference here. Health was a provincial responsibility un* der the constitution but the federal govsrnment should take the initiative in getting the problem dis* cussed. 2. There were some good "choices among the '13 recently appointed :-enalors* but their addition to thc Upper Chamber would not end the need for Senate reform. 3.

Parkinson, direc-- tor of economic policy in the federal finance department, ' said'Thursday night that markets can be lost and unemployment can rise when prices and wages are allowed-1 to get out of line with market requirements. Moreover, inflation and. instabil- ity can threaten if countries which spend too much are afraid to discipline themselves, he added in a speech before the Lake Couchich- ine conference on public affairs. the Western world, he observed, ha? swing into an economic boom, inspired mostly by increased consumer demand for good&'and increased consumer spending. INSTABILITY DANGER An expansion in consumer credit can have benefits, but it also can create instabilities. "In some countries tha increase 'in' total personal and public expenditures is beginning to produce fresh economic strains, tending to push prices up. and to create difficulties with thc balance of international payments. "Tho recent restrictions imposed by thc chancellor of thc exchequer in Britain on thc use of credit is evidence of the danger, and of course we are not entirely free from such problems in "North America." ,' . His statements were contained in thc text of his address released tn the press-in advance of delivery. HIGH EMPLOYMENT The Canadian economy, be said, has recovered all of tlie ground lost in W54 "and some more besides." The number of person*, ■'looking fur work In Canada was less than three per cent of the working force—"fairly close to a condition of high employment in a country like Canada." But Prairie wheat growers still faced., marketing problems some aircraft plants were slack, because on* phase of the defence pro*rra*m" had been completed some see*' ondary industries, such is ttt" tiles, electrical goods, farm ma* chinery and railway equipment,, faced difficulties. The coal industry was suffering from competition from od and gas. "Then, too, ve still'need to find vavs and means ef mitigating the heavy slump in employment whicii we always have in the winter months. But these are all special, understandable situations some of them are probably unavoidable In a dynamic and competitive economy. The important thing is that they arc not chronic problems and not common to most industries.'* He said governments and peoplt had to ensure that domestic ccon* ics did not get out of step with thc world economy, INSIDE 3—Stqry of "The Lost Qne".
