Hon. Dr. W.J.P. MacMlllan. Progressive Conservative leader, charged last night that the Mari. time Provinces were getting "the most rotten deal" from the Fed- eral Government ln the Domin- ion - Provincial financial agree- merits.

Speaking to a full Legion hail here before the_Dec. 11 general‘ election, Dr. McMillan said the Liberal Government of Premier J. Walter Jones had attempted to give "a false impression" to the country about the Provinces fin- ancial position. \

He added: "The Premier claims we will have a surplus this year of $686,000. Why then did he bor- WW 51.000000? His surpluses are fictitious,'when the Progressive Conservative Government went out of power in 1936 the debt was $4,750,000. Now it is more than $ll.000.0€0."

Dr. McMillan said war veterans had been shoddily treated by both the Provincial and Federal gov- ernments and that 1,! his party were elected "we propose io_ treat

Lesa Meat In Prospect

pva speakers nor the Progressive Conservative Iilstform mention the prices that the famous Board for controlling potato prices. that the MacMillan Government work- ing with the Bennett Government. appointed in the winter of i935. got the potato growers of this Is- llnd that winter and also during the spring of that year, for their great quantity of potatoes that was marketed through this Board or its regulations. I believe loma cf these potatoes netted 7c per bushel compared with the 69c per bushel the Jones Government Ex- pirt Board got for potatoes last winter and last spring.

Prohibition

Meats — Total Canadian meat Droductlon dropped six per cent in 1947 and will drop another six Der cent in 1946. A sharp decline in pork production is expected to reduce the total amount of meat- available for carport in 194s u» 5o per cent of 1947

Dairy - Production of meat and butter advanced in 1947 but cheese fell off. Output of eggs and poul- lry also increased.
