Ottawa May 24 up Here is the text of prime minister Louis St. Laurent s statement in the com Mons on Manitoba floods i think honorable members might be interested to have a Brief report of the visit the minister of Justice and i made to Manitoba on sunday and yesterday. We left Here at on sunday morning and reached the red River Valley above grand North Dakota flying downstream All the Way to Lake Winnipeg and then circling Hack to land at Stev Enson Field. The weather was Fine and we had View. The extent to which the Waters had receded in what the mini Ster of Justice had seen two weeks earlier win encouraging though the area still covered particularly in the Morris area is very great it is quite obvious that under the most favourable circumstances several weeks will pass before the farm lands Are dry and the restoration of order and Normal life on the farms will certainly be a very big. Task. The villages and towns in the Valley from Emerson to Morris Are almost completely flooded and the task of restoration there is going to be very great. House to House count in greater Winnipeg itself i got the impression that something of the order of 10 per cent of the houses were surrounded by water if i May anticipate a Little that estimate was confirmed by an act Ual House to House count which indicates that something Over houses have been flooded to some extent and that Between have water Over the first floor. The count was made by an experienced employee of the Centra by Albert h. Mob head noted authority on games you must t be stampeded into going Down at All costs just be cause one opponent asks another May i , but on the other hand there s no reason o assume the game will go on a definitely just because the inquirer s partner answers he May want Only one More turn in which to do a Little score fatten no. If that s the Case you have Only one turn in which to com plete whatever melds you can. Suppose you had held this hand what would you have done in the circumstances described mortgage and housing corporation on Landing we were met by the Premier and brigadier Morton and we set out at once to visit the flooded areas and the dikes which Are still hold ing. We went first to the municipal Headquarters at fort Garry and then by boat to the beet Suga factory where we had a View roof of a Large part of the flooded area of South Winnipeg and of the dikes holding Back what is called Mcgillivray Lake next we visited the Wildwood dikes and went through a Par of the flooded area of Wildwood after that we drove through the downtown area of Winnipeg along the causeway on water Street an Over the Provencher Bridge for Quick tour of the dikes of nor Wood and St. A the flooded area of St. Vita and the swollen Seine River. W called briefly at the Norwood head quarters at St. Boniface Hospital which has been evacuated and a the canteen in the Cercle Ouvrier our last visit sunday afternoon was to the Scotia Street area o North Winnipeg and the Lux to school Headquarters. Met flood officials expression of my warm a Precia on. To or. Manning before leaving Winnipeg i wish o express to you and All those rom end to end of Canada who re working so hard to make a Success of the Campaign for the Manitoba flood Relief fund the satisfaction Felt by millions of our Ellow citizens that your fund pro ides a sure and effective Way to not going to mean any permanent to All those who need help and who in True Canadian spirit Are ready to help themselves. I am sure that that is True of All the people i saw in the Manitoba said to them that i was much impressed by the fact that this disaster had not dampened their Western spirit of Enterprise and that i was convinced that great As was this disaster it was both sides had made a few melds and each had completed one Canasta. The right hand Oppon ent had just asked his partner opened in Manchester last j go and had been we got to the hotel for dinner about eight o clock and immediately after dinner met a representative group of officials and citizens who have some of the responsibility for fighting the floods or providing Relief. That meeting was followed by a meet ing with the mayors and Reeves of the municipalities affected by the flood. When that meeting was Over h was nearly Midnight Winnipeg time and i was glad to get to bed. Yesterday morning before leaving Winnipeg the minister of Justice and i had a Brief meeting with the provincial Cabinet and we then visited the Headquarters of the Mani Toba flood Relief fund and the red Cross Headquarters in the Winnipeg auditorium. It was a full programme and i think we were Abl to get As accurate a picture of die situation As is possible in a Short visit. I was greatly impressed by the organization which had been established for fighting the flood for evacuating the people whose Homes had been flooded and for providing emergency Relief and give the practical help they would be to give to those families in Winnipeg he red River Valley whose Homes Manitoba. Ave been devastated by the floods. Once the Waters recede we All want to see the unfortunate victims of the disaster return to real quickly u possible and the Manitoba flood Relief fund will be available to help in ways no other agencies is equipped to do those driven from their houses to restore genuine fam ily Homes. The need of the thousands of families in City and country who have lost so Many of the prize personal possessions which make a lome of a House has touched the hearts of All canadians and your und gives All the Opportunity to help which they will Welcome. I also met the press As members May have heard i also met the press. I do not intend o enter into any controversy Over the conflicting stories that have been published in the various news papers about my interview. For instance there Are the re ports that appeared in two Winnipeg newspapers which have prob ably arrived in town by this time. In some reports things have been Eft out and in other reports some hings have been emphasized. Honorable members will also note that there Are some in accuracies that would appear to require clarification about the position of the Federal government in relation to the Dis Aster which has befallen the people of the red River Valley in Manitoba. As to our position i do not see How i can improve on what i said right Here in this place on april 28, As re ported in Hansard at Page 1981. I refer to the following words we shall Endeavor to ascertain what the situation is and then determine what action if any should be taken. Honorable Mem Bers can be assured that in is the desire of the government to treat every part of the country in the same Way. Should there Ever be in any part the country the sort of disaster there was in the Fraser River District the people of that Section would be entitled to expect that they would be treated in the same Way As the residents of the Fraser River Valley were Fraser Valley formula As a matter of fact i informed honorable members of the House the other Day that a commission had been set up to ascertain the nature and the extent the Dis Aster so that accurate data would be available to determine what Grant should be made in that respect. The Federal Grant to Mani Toba will be based on the facts and on the same principles and Consi set Back in the development of Winnipeg and the province of Manitoba. Honorable members will recall that this commission were to Deal Only with the extent arid the nature of the damages the Cost of the measures taken to fight the flood. And of the emergency pre cautions to guard against recur ring floods. Permanent measures needed however there will have to be some permanent measures taken.

Twenty two , stations across Canada will hold often major league baseball Stab to Premier Campbell before i leave Winnipeg i should like to ask you to convey to the mayors and Reeves and the Muni Cipal authorities in the flooded areas the Royal Canadian mounted police in the province the City and municipal police the members of other governmental and municipal agencies the red Cross and the hundreds of other voluntary organizations and the citizens of the red River Valley generally the expression of my deep admiration of the splendid Way the whole population has organized and carried on the fight against the flood. The Lone of hard work and sheer endurance by thous of voluntary workers on the dikes and behind the have captured the imagination of our entire country. I know i speak for All canadians when i ask you to say we Are hoping for a speedy end to this time of trial and that not canadians but the people of other Friendly countries Are trans lating their sympathy into practical terms to help both in immedi ate flood Relief and in the earliest possible restoration of Normal Home life to the families affected by the disaster. To Morton having seen with my own eyes something of the magnificent and untiring Effort being put Forth by All three defence services under your direction in fighting the red River flood and assisting in emergency Relief i feel the service you Are rendering to All Levels of government Federal provincial and municipal merits the highest Praise. I should be grateful in you should accept for yourself duration which was applied to the Fraser Valley. I should like to refer to the Ottawa citizen which contains a. Report which to have caused some commotion Here in the House. I was asked a question one of the news paper men at this press con Ference and i shall quote article which was published yesterday Ait follows i asked him what i think was a fair question after seeing the troubles of these Manitoba people in the red River Valley and Here in the City. I said that the people in the flood areas were very very concerned to know in a general Way what Federal Aid might be i do not remember the words in a general my recollection is that i was asked to Indi Cate what amount the Federal government would contribute toward the Relief the disaster. I said that i could not add anything to what i had said in the House that a commission had been appointed and when the commission made its report we would then discuss with the government of Manitoba the amount of the Grant that would be made available on the same principles and considerations As had been followed in the Fraser Valley matter. Directly none i was asked a direct question by one newspaper Man and i refer now to the Winnipeg Tribune As to what direct Federal Aid was forthcoming for the Little Man whose possessions had been lost m the flood. I replied directly i said that our dealings were fast easy Way to disinfect basements tools Fatwa lawns Garden lashed an attendance record during and convey to the officers and 1948 by drawing Fani. Men under your command this going to be with the Manitoba government just As in the Case of the Fraser River they were with the government of British Colum Bia. It would seem that there Are gome who would rather Deal with us than with the government of Manitoba but that is a consideration to which i cannot give effect. The Posi Tion i took that our Deal would with the government of the people of Mani Toba and that they in turn would Deal with the municipalities and individuals As they thought might befit their responsibilities in the premises. The Federal government gave no direct Aid to the people of. The Fraser Valley our dealings were All with the government of British Columbia. In the red River flood matters our Deal Ings will be with the govern ment of Manitoba. It would be entirely wrong for me to say How the authorities of Manitoba provincial or municipal should discharge their responsibilities. I am advised that the govern ment of Manitoba has indicated that it proposes to provide Assis Tance for rehabilitation of families in cases of need. We can All under stand and sympathize deeply with the anxiety of families whose Homes have been devastated by the flood Waters particularly those ii who have few resources to restore their Homes.
