'l'he amusing statement that
Prince of Wales rfiollege shouldr have been rebuilt as one small’ fireproof building and three or
four small wooden buildings on
the college property, and that the
buildings be heated by stoves rather
than by s general heating system
was made by Mr. J. Walter Jones.
Liberal candidate for Fourth
Queens, at the meeting at Plat
Biver Saturday night. The large
and orderly audience gasped in
smasement at the ludicrous ids;
while Mr. Jones went on fo say
that such an arrangement would
be good en _ ‘ for the students
taking co in the college-
The meeting was a splendid one
and further raised the hopes of the
Conservative candidates, Messrs. A.
if: MacDcugail and Lawson Jenk-
s.
Mr. R. R. Bell who followed the
candidates in addressing the meet-
ing, took strong exception to the
use of the expression squander-
mania, as used by Mr. B. W. Le-
Page and the Patriot. Its use was
a deliberate insult to needy people
who received relief and unemploy-
ment moneys that were expended.
Of all people to make use of it
Mr. IcPags should be the last. | The Liberal candidates had re-
ferred to the expense of the Pub-
lic Health Department. In rebuttal

ment had been formed in accord-l

ance with a contract entered into by the Lea Government with the Life Underwriters of Canada. He further brought up the point that it would appear that if the Lib- erals were to balance the budget, as they claimed was their inten- tion, they would have to resort to taxation. It had been proven that they did not and could not re- ceive any money from Ottawa by way of subsidy or otherwise. This fact was clearly shown by the correspondence between ex- Premier Saunders and ear-Premier King.
w. Bell also referred. to the fin- ancial condition in which the Lib- erals had left the province in i931, and effectively answered the argu- ments oi the Liberal candidates in reference to the Southport high-
way.
Unwiiling or unable to come to the aid of his sorely pressed friends. Mr. J. J. Larrabse in a speech which took up considerable time dealt only with federal mat- tors and did not touch on local conditions at all. Not only was this practicing of his campaign speech a base betrayal of his colleagues, it was also a serious breach of platform etiquette.
Mr. Bell charged that the Lib- eral candidates had nothing to do but criticise the record of the Conservative goveilnment and had pothlng new to offer in their plat-
orm.

Dept.
Liberal criticism of lner ’ ex- penditure in the Department of Public Health was answered conclu- sively and with crushing effect by Premier MsoMillan at North Gran- ville on Friday night. At the meet- ing, overwhelmingly Conservative in sentiment, Mr. D. N. MaoKuy had lilo lll~iudlment to ' ' ' Con- servative administration of this ‘department. The Premier in reply- ing stated that the department had been established by the has gov- srnuiént, which had made an agree- Jnsnt with the Life Insurance offl- csrs as to crgsnhtion, officials. salaries and automatic salary in-

THE CAMPAIGN zssus
The Liberalparty leader in his radio speech said: “We are not concerned with the past, but we are greatly con- cerned with the future finances of Prince Edward Island.”
Well may Mr. Lea and party be desirous of forgetting the past. But what is their policy with regard to the future finances of the Province? That is indeed the issue.
The utmost they have to offer is a balanced budget on ordinary account, WITH CAPITAL EXPENDITURES MOUNTING YEAR BY YEAR.
“No more hope from Ottawa,” says Mr. Thane A. Campbell, deputy Liberal leader, who regards the $150,000 subsidy increase obtained by the MacMillan Government as “final and unalterable.” This notwithstanding the min- ority report of the White Commission, filed by Chief J us- tice Mathieaon, WHICH LEAVES OPEN THE DOOR FOR FURTHER PRESENTATION ON THE_ BASIS OF FIS- CAL NEED.
This is the same door that Laurier bolted in i907. THE MATHIESON GOVERNMENT REOPENED THAT DOOR AND OBTAINED $l00,000vYEARLY INCREASE.
Again the Iiiberal attitude was that this was final. Subsidy claims to them became a laughing-stock, a “chest- nut.” Premier Bell exerted himself enough to write a couple of letters on the subject, but he complained that he got no support from his own government colleagues,
Then the Stewart Government took up the matter be- fore the Duncan Commission, AND OBTAINED A FUR- THER INCREASE OF $125,000.
The Saunders-Lea Government took office in 1927 with the door wide open. Moneywas being lavishly spent at Ottawa. The Western Provinces were receiving huge sub- sidy increases. The Duncan Commission recommendation was for IMMEDIATE REASSESSMENT of all Maritime subsidy claims. The Conservative Premiers of Nova Scoiia and New Brunswick, “on different occasions” according to err-Premier Saunders, appealed for eo-operation and sup- port. The Maritime Board of Trade joined in the appeal. A joint Maritime presentation was essential, Tl-IE LIB- ERAL GOVERNMENT OF THIS PROVINCE. ACTING ON INSTRUCTIONS OF MACKENZIE KING’S FIN- ANCE MINISTER, “PECLINED T0 CO-OPERATE.”
0f this amazing a
refusal to co-operate had come Maritime Premiers. This malicious slander Mr. Lea repeat- cd emphatically in the Legislature last session.
Figured on the basis oi‘ the subsidy increase obtained last year by Premier MacMillan, the dog-in-the-manger Liberal policy in 1929 caused the loss, to this Province, of $750,000 in subsidy payments. ‘
Mr, Lea, who had time in his radio address to criticise Premier MacMillan for uing government gasoline in his car in the performance of official duties, HAD NOTHING TO SAY ABOUT THE SAUNDERS REVELATIONS.
Mr. Thane Campbell, err-Attorney General in the Lea Government, and legal assistant to ex-Premier Saunders, remains equally dumb. Neither he nor any Liberal candid- uie have a word to say by way of explanation, extenuatron, or excuse.
THEIR SILENCE IS MORE ELOQUENT THAN WORDS!
“Not concerned with the past!” says Mr. Lea.
Isn't it on the Conservative subsidy increases of $375, . 000 ANNUALLY, FOR ALL TIME TO COME, that Lib-
eral eyes are greedily fixed in the present campaign? They are counting on the ingratitude of the people to place them back in power to reap where they have not sown.
T0 REAP WHERE THEY DID THEIR BEST T0 SOW
TARES AND THISTLES! _ _ “Greatly concerned with the future finances of Prince
Edward Island!” Where is Mr. Lee's evidence for this statement? IS IT IN THE SAUNDERS-ROBE CORRESPOND-
ENCE? _ It is certainly not to be found in the Liberal party
platform.

Medicine, And Shut Him Up
A double dose of their own medicine, delivered to a party of organized Liberal hecklers at the Murray River meeting Saturday night, proved so effective that this political manoeuvre is unlikely again to be attempted in that district for many years to come. It resulted in the audience, disgusted at the discourtesy of Liberal healers, refusing to allow Mr. Thane A, Campbell, deputy Liberal leader, the privilege of speaking at all when he attempted, at the close of the meeting, to interrupt Premier Mac- Milian. The Premier himself had to come to Mr. CampbelPs rescue, which he did before concluding his remarks amid

The Premier's exposure of the disgraceful page in Liberal subsidy claims history revealed in the cor- respondence of ex-Premier Saund- ers with Premier Mackenrle King and Finance Minister Robb roused to fury the Liberal ‘ “ whose organized efforts to howl him
Did It
The subsidy claims were well aired at the joint political meeting held Saturday evening in Lot 16 Hall which was very largely atten- ded. Mr. Claire Campbell who said he came from Charlottetown for the express purpose of telling the people what he knew about subsidy claims failed to impress the audience. His long story about the visit of ex- Premler Saunders and himself to Ottawa to interview the Audit Board cm the claims of Prince Edward Island did not register with the audience at all.
The meeting was very largely at- tended. The Conservative candl- dates Hon. Thomas MaoNutt and Hon. Adrian Arscnault received a splendid reception as they ably presented their Conservative case to the electors in Iot 16, a well- known Liberal stronghold. Mk. James M. Anderson very capably presided. The speakers were m. Marin Gallant, Hon. Adrian Arsen- '1‘. M. Linlrletter, Claire Campbell. Hon. Thomas MacNutt and Mr. A. E. Marleen, M. P.
Mr. Gallant in his opening re- marks said that. “we are here to- night to discuss the record of the Government whose term has just expired. We all know that they cams in during very difficult times. They had two large buildings burned at the very beginning of their regime which they were forced to replace out of the revenue at their disposal. We admit the had s. great deal to contend with and they
have had to spend vast sums of money for relief work. perhaps they have spent too much" he said. All Governments are subject to critic- ism. Mr. Gallant after laying the Conservative case so well befm ths people went on to compare them with the Liberal Governments going back as far as the Bell ad- ministration and his policy of im- proved roads. Ks went on to say that the Saunders Government had to spend large amounts of rnmey for gravel from abroad until they found some on the mans. Return-
down were reinforced by heeiers outside the hall. The Premier, however, proceeded cooly and unswervlngiy, holding the audience despifo every effort of the lnterrupters to “laugh it off."
It was an astonishing exhibition ‘
of organised disconrtssy; but it did not succeed, the .- ' , taking up his full allotted forty minutes in a convincing review of govern- ment achievements and policies, and s smashing indictment of his opponents’ criticisms.

Fears Outburst Of In- dignation If Ethiop- ians Mowed Down By Italian Machine Guns.
(By Guardian's Special Wire)
IONDON, July io-Joseph A. C. Avenol, secretary General of the league of Nations, said today the council would meet on the ltalo- Ethiopian question July 25 unless arbitratlan meanwhile was intro- duced between the disputants. This meeting was arranged at the last session of the Council. Avenol left for Paris after lengthy conversations on the subject with British officials. . Sir Herbert Samuel, leader of the Liberal opposition in the House of Commons, declared in a speech at Pencrebar, Cornwall. "If the primi- tive troops oi Ethiopia are rnown down by Italian machine guns, there will be a spontaneous out- burst of indignation and resent ment among the British people.’
Policy Unchanged

lion. Adrian Arsenauli Mr. Aresnault was in splendid form and ably presented the Con- servative case. He remarked that ha was beginning to think that his opponent, Mr. Gallant, had been converted since his meeting last night and perhaps by the end of the campaign he and also his colleague will be cznvinced that the Conser- vative Government is the best one aficr all. Mr. Arsenault said he was glad that his opponent had referred to the Bell Government as it gave him an opportunity to remind thee people of Iot 16 that it was the Bell Government's rust act when com- ing into power to increase the taxes and they taxed exerytning tangble and intangible. S: unjust were these taxes, especially the land tax. that Mr. Macbeth who was at that time in the local House refused to endorse their policy (applause).
