"Another healthy expansion in private and public. invest- ment is scheduled," he said. "Consumer demand for non- durables and services will con- tinue to increase, while the market for durable goods will be supported by residential con- struction, the affluence of the expanding number of young adults and a strong replace- ment demand. "Exports of raw and pro- cessed materials, as well as 'secondary manufactures, He said that in 1964 the eco- nomics and development de- partment sent 16 sales missions abroad and in the coming year the number would be increased. Also, trade offices in the United States and overseas would step up activities to attract foreign investment for the province and provide opportunities for On- tario investment in foreign countries. No Change In Hospital Insurance TORONTO (CP)--Hospital in- surance premiums in Ontario will remain at their present lev- els for another three years, Provincial Treasurer Allan an- nounced in his budget. by more than 50 per cent in Mr. Allan's last budget a: year ago. Further increases, he said, will be obviated by continuance of a provincial $50,000,000-a- year subsidy to meet costs not met by premiums or the fed- eral government's contribu- tions. The premiums are $6.50 a month for a family and $3.25 for a single person. The budget contains no provi- sion for medical service insur- ance. . Mr. Allan told reporters he does not know when a medical plan might come into effect. If it should be in the fiscal year covered by the budget--starting April 1 -- any expenditure could be given approval in legislation covering the plan. Mr. Allan announced that grants provided in the coming year through the Ontario Hos- pital Services Commission for hospital construction, renova- tion and expansion will be $15,- 600,000. This is an increase of $3,500,000 over the current year. TO AID HOSPITALS There would also be $9,500,000 available in low-interest loans for hospital construction in areas where the need for ac- commodation is urgent. Mr. Allan said, facilities for jan additional 750 beds are in jthe planning and construction stages. ; It was proposed to spend {$2,300,000 on the, year-old pro- gram of placing menta patients in private homes when they no longer need psychiatric treatyhent. This might help render it unnecessary to' build more mental hospitals, Total expenditure for the mental health branch will be $74,900,000, up. $4,800,000 over! this year. The whole expenditure of the health department -- including the $50,000,000 contribution to the hospital care plan -- will be $166,913,000. This compares with $163,438,000 this year.

"I have made no final decis- ion,' he said when asked whether his future duties will mean his leaving the Ontario cabinet. Mr. Allan, a 70 - year - old Dunnville dairyman, will be- come international grand master of the Masonic Lodge in July. The post requires a good deal of travelling. Indian Apathy Worries Chief WINNIPEG (CP)--A former Indian chief says Canadian In- dians think society owes them include the remaining section,2 living and have no interest in improving their living stan- dard. "There is a general feeling of apathy among Indians here, a feeling of defeat," Dan Mad- rano, president of Taisha Oil Company in Tulsa, Okla., said Tuesday in an interview, "The Indians . .. feel the white man owes them some- thing. I think they want to get all they can out of him... for nothing." Mr. Madrano was in Winni- peg for the annual Indian and Metis conference sponsored by the Community Welfare Plan- ning Council. He said the Indians of Can- ada should speed up their full to|amalgamation with the predom- Gravenhurst, the Atikokanjinant masses of the country Highway and the Sudbury-jwhile still retaining their valu- Timmins Highway. Reconstruc- able cultural heritage. nounced in the provincial gov- ernment's budget are insuffi- cient to prevent tuition fee in- creases; Operating --_-- average seven to eight per cent lower than what the universities had requested, : "This is quite a blow to us," said S. G. Mullins, president of Laurentian University at Sud- bury. 'Our request for $1,031,- mit was cut by more than $81,- "We've got to find the money somewhere and will consider raising fees." Provincial Treasurer James Allan, in bringing down the budget Wednesday, said oper- ating grants follow recommen- dations of the advisory commit- tee on university affairs which were based on expectations that there would be no fee increases next year. ISN'T ENOUGH Murray Ross, president of York University in Toronto, said that while the budget rec- ognizes the need for physical expansion of the universities through increased capital loan allowance, it does not provide enough in operating grants for staff salaries, research and li- braries, He said "it is a short- sighted budget" in those re- spects. Queen's University President J. A. Corry said his university will have to operate on a deficit next year and said the grant to Queen's "falls seriously short of meeting the needs." Harold braun, principal of Lakehead University, said fees there will have to be raised by about $30 next year. Davidson Dunton, president of Carleton University in Ot- tawa, said fee increases may be required and that he is not happy with his grant which "is less than we need." ASKED FOR MORE J. G. Hagey, president of the University of Waterloo, said he asked for more money but will not have to raise fees next year. should remain buoyant." Reviewing 1964, Mr. Allan said there was a rise. of $1,400,- 000,000 in the gross provincial product to bring it to $18,500,- 000,000. There was a rise of 89,- 000 in the number of jobs, more than taking care of an expan- sion of 78,000 in the labor force. In manufacturing, shipments went up by $1,062,000 in the province. This was $230.000,000 more than the increase for all the rest of Canada. . Dealing with trade, Mr. Allan said figures for the first seven months of 1964 showing Cana- dian exports rising faster than imports show the importance of the Ontario government's ef- forts to expand manufacturing exports and compete at home with imports. "The appropriate conclu- sion," he said, "is surely that our secondary manufacturers must continue to press their ad- vantage in export markets, by increasing their sales efforts and improving their productiv- ity and cost advantages. The Ontario government will ex- pand its efforts to assist bus- iness to achieve these aims." C of C Hails Allan Effort TORONTO (CP) -- The On- tario Chamber of Commerce favored Wednesday sections of Provincial Treasurer James Allan's $1,460,000,000 budget which calls for increased gov- ernment expenditures in edu- cation and industrial develop- ment. D. H. W. Bath, chairman of the chamber's committee on finance and. taxation, said in a statement the chamber agrees with the approach shown in the budget recognizing that eco- nomic growth is based on in- creased labor productivity. However, he said, "the cham- ber believes that both the fed- eral and Ontario governments should give. careful consider- ation before encouraging indus- tries to locate in areas which may not be competitively ad- vantageous." Mr. Bath commended the government for making more capital available for vocational training, job retraining and post secondary education. He said that while the cham- ber is pleased to see the gov- ernment: has recognized that undue taxation can be "self- defeating," it regrets that no effort has been made to follow the example of the United States 'in reducing taxes to maintain an adequate rate of growth.
