The brief said Canada is a nation on wheels, but "the federal government does little to keep thc wheels in motion." It urged federal assumption of more responsibility in developing a highway program and instigation of "an entirely new highway financing policy" by which the federal government would complete the 4,500-mile Trans-Canada highway, costs of which now aro shared $0-50 with the provinces. It also urged a federal contribution of 50 per cent toward construction of all arterial highways and assumption of one-third thc cost of access roads to urban centres, the municipal and provincial governments assuming an CVNHA BACK IN LISBON LISBON (AP)-Forelgn Minister Paulo Cunha and his wife returned by plane Tuesday from a three- week visit to the United States and Canada, Cunha told newspaper men at thc airport he was grateful for the welcome given htm in North America.

The U.S., by Including a reserve fleet of 14,000,000 tons, has the greatest tonnage of any country -26,423,000. A spectacular increase In Liber- lan tonnage and substantial rises reported from Norway, Germany and Britain more thin offset the big dtop in the United States and analler falls ii Canadi, Panama and Argentina, Second to the United States in total merchant shipping' tonnage is Britain with 19,357,000 tons, a rise of 342,000 tons since 1054.

The United States, despite a drop since 1954 of 274,000, retained second place with 4,321,000. other third apiece. PROVINCIAL MATTER Mr. Winters promised consideration of the association's brief, bn said highway construction is pri mdrily a responsibility falling | Hsh within provincial jurisdiction. He said the federal government contributed to the Trans-Canada highway because of its national complexity, but had found it difficult to arrive at a formula acceptable to all provinces. Quebec, i he noted, did not come into the; j plan and the federal government had alloted monies faster than th^* could be matched by tho provinces. The brief said more emphasis should be placed on north-south roads, in keeping with the trend of Canadian development into thej north country. A system of north- south roads was needed for development and military purposes. "Should atomic warfare break out," said the brief, "there is only one defence for civilian population —flight, Transportation itself is nut the problem. Thc entire population of our cities could be moved if there were roads to carry the vehicles ... a blocked highway makes a wonderful target for thc enemy."

The brief said Canada is a nation on wheels, but "the federal government does little to keep thc wheels in motion." It urged federal assumption of more responsibility in developing a highway program and instigation of "an entirely new highway financing policy" by which the federal government would complete the 4,500-mile Trans-Canada highway, costs of which now aro shared $0-50 with the provinces. It also urged a federal contribution of 50 per cent toward construction of all arterial highways and assumption of one-third thc cost of access roads to urban centres, the municipal and provincial governments assuming an CVNHA BACK IN LISBON LISBON (AP)-Forelgn Minister Paulo Cunha and his wife returned by plane Tuesday from a three- week visit to the United States and Canada, Cunha told newspaper men at thc airport he was grateful for the welcome given htm in North America.

PROVINCIAL MATTER Mr. Winters promised consideration of the association's brief, bn said highway construction is pri mdrily a responsibility falling | Hsh within provincial jurisdiction. He said the federal government contributed to the Trans-Canada highway because of its national complexity, but had found it difficult to arrive at a formula acceptable to all provinces. Quebec, i he noted, did not come into the; j plan and the federal government had alloted monies faster than th^* could be matched by tho provinces. The brief said more emphasis should be placed on north-south roads, in keeping with the trend of Canadian development into thej north country. A system of north- south roads was needed for development and military purposes. "Should atomic warfare break out," said the brief, "there is only one defence for civilian population —flight, Transportation itself is nut the problem. Thc entire population of our cities could be moved if there were roads to carry the vehicles ... a blocked highway makes a wonderful target for thc enemy."
