Addressing his remarks to Mr. Mackenzie King, Col. Drew said:

"Last week one of your radio censors deleted over 1.000 words from 111 speech I had prepared. Then while I spoke a man sat behind me with a copy of the censored speech. I was informed that ii I departed from the text appovcd by your censor I would be cut ofi the air. The arrangement is exact- ly the same in Nazi Germany."

Turning his attack to Hon. Nor- man Rogers. Minister of Defence. Col. Drew said that "if Mr. Rog- e s can name wea n: and use the radio to give a fa e lm ressicn to tho public then I do no intend to ivrfyafn from discussing the Ill)- ec .'

rnachrn companies in Canada for the "bene it of the unemployed and the farmers. It was briefly this; that they would raise the duty on American machinery manufactured by labor outside of Canada. but. they made an agreement with the farm machinery manufacturers that while they had the protection from goods manufactured by for- eign labor, the machinery com- panies would not increase the p ice of farm machinery to the farmers of Canada. Let me say to you farmers listening to me tonight»- that every one of those large con- cerns which made that agreement with the Bennett Government kept it, in almost every detail.

Now for this benefit to the Can- adian farmer the Bennett Govern- ment were maligned by Mackenzie King and his followers and they said that they would reduce the duty on farm machinery coming from United States when they came into power. They said they would have a. lower tarfif. What happened? Just what the Conserva- tive Government and the Conserva- tive Opposition later on told them would happen. Let us look at one or two aricles the farmers in this Province buy and use,

“A five-fool: grain bind-er: The cash price in 1935 was $216. Now Watch 1t grow in price under Lib- erai Government. In 1936 with a Liberal reduction in tariff the p ice went up to $234; in 1937 the price went to $248; in price was $261. a total increase in the cash ic'e, since Li rels were in power. of $51. The same applies to the hay mower. A five-font hay mower which cost in i935 $98; in i936 $105.50, in 1938 it cost $115.50. a

Conservative Leader Would Abolish Radio Licence Fee

MONTREAL. March 6 —(CP) — Conservative leader iviuiiiori eSllfid today B. Slat/JARED iii union lie plu- miseu that uyheyis ciecteu iie will abolish uie radio iiucnce ice Lllid up- crate national broadcasting on a "pas-as-you-go" basis.”

mere has been a great deal of discussion, both in the pre.s_ and on me nustlligs on the subject oi radio icenoes, and inc present seams to be an opportune time to make my pcsttion clear. ' it is my itrm belief that there is n0 meson wny the radio user in Canada snouui be compeiicu 1o pay y $2.50 for we privilege or 1112111115 iu his radio, whereas tiie radio user in the United States pays 11001-118. The radio licence fee is merely a nuisance tax, and one which nears heavily on those whose are least able to pay. Numerous reasons can be given wny the radio fee should be abonshed. but l. think they are ob- vious to mo.t people. it is my purpose therefore to a- bolish the radio licence fee and to operate national broadcasting on a ay-as-you-go basis, winch will re- in the advantageous services now provided. There are other IIIBBIIS without the licence fees oi having radio pav its way.
