Opposition to the Prohibition Act, recently amended

and “consolidated”

sational manner during the

by the Legislature, was voiced in a sen-

Budget debate last night by

Mr. P. A. Mclsaac, Liberal, First Kings.

Mr.

McIsaac, who had voted with his colleagues for the

revised Act, declared there were just as many temperance people among Government Control advocates as there were

among professed Prohibition

ists.

He took_up the cudgels with the Bedeque member (Mr. Horace. Wright) who on Wednesday night had denounced

the Government's brewery stallion policy.

“In my opinion the Prohibition Act has served its use- ful purpose in this Province,” Mr. Mclsaac insisted. “As one hon. member has remarked in this Legislature about an Act being so old that there were whiskers on it, I must say that I think this Act is getting so old now that there arelbarnacles on it, and that soine of us have seeri fit to put it into dry-dock and have it scraped, and painted for

“That is what is happening now,” Mr. McIsaac declared. “If we had taken the time that was spent in discussing Prohibition and the liquor question, and instead have used

it towards finding ways and

means to help out the health

problem in this Province, I think it. would have served a

better purpose.” Mr. Mclsaac suggested

that temperance education

might profitably be carried out in connection with study

clubs and credit unions.

The House met yesterday at 11.50 om.

Mr. Savllle on a question of pri- vilege referred to an editorial in Wednesday's Guardian to the cf- fect that he had supported the lowering of bootleggers’ fines and jail sentences for the benefit of the boofleggers. Mr. Saville noted that the old Prohibition Law en- abled an offender "to save $83-33 1-3 cents per month by going to jail; the new law allowed him to earn but $75 a month in jail. So that it is not now so profitable w go to Jail as to pay a fine."

, Fish and Game Bill

The following report was sub- mitted:

Your committee reported to ex- amino and report upon bills en- grossed at the present sesion of the Legislative Assembly bcgleuvo to report that we have examined and compared the bill instituted by the Prince Edward Island Fish and Game Protection Act i937and we are of the opinion that the slid bill has been so mutilated in com- mittee that if passed in its pres- ent state it would afford no pro tection for certain kinds of game and vmuld therefore defeat. the

purpose for which it has been in- troduced.

Your committee therefore rec- ommend that the said bill be not passed in its present state.

Respectfully submitted: William Hughes, C. St. C. Trainer, ilorace Wright.

Mr. Mustard reported that the bill could not be passed consider- ing the amount of work.

The report of the committee was adopted.

Mr. MacPhee asked the Minister of Agriculture to lay on the table answers to the following questions:

(l) What price was paid by the Government for the stallion “Scot- tish Chief" loaned to the County of Kings?

(2) What amount of money was paid by the Government for the “keep" of the said horse during the year 1936?

(3) What amount of money has the Government received or does it expect to receive for service of the said horse?

Reich" Softens Reply To Pope

Tones Down Note At Urging Of Premier Mussolini.

(A. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

VATICAN CITY. April l5-—The German Government softened the tone of its reply to Pope Pius’ Easter attack, a reliable informant declared today, at the urging of Premier Mwsolini.

Mussolini conveyed to Hitler an appeal to avoid any dispute with the Vatican, this source said. over the German-Vatican Concordat of i933 which the Pope charged had been violated.

His encyclicai to German Bishops March 2i declared the Nazi ad- ministration had made the con- cordat "intrinsically valueless."

Father Tacchi Venturi, who effected peace between Mussolini and the Pontiff in 1929, carried the Italian Premiers appeal for mod- eration to Hitler, it was said here.

Consequently, the German reply was described as “polite and cour- teous" although firln in its conten- tion‘ that Catholic youth organiz- ations in Germans had exceeded their jurisdiction.

The note did not hint . at any eventual break in the 1938 con- cordat. an unofficial summary said.

The German note opens the way to new accords. the summary said.

“Extra” Permits Se- cured By Deception Used For Illegally Packed L ob s t e r Shipments.

For the second consecutive day evidence was submitted before a Royal Commission probing illegal fishing of lobsters and smelts in Districts seven and eight during 1936 at Alberton yesterday that tralrportation permits had been received by deliberatelv deceivingl Inspector C. R. Palmer and that these permits were later used to transport illegally packed lobsters.

A» D. Seaman. Alberton mer- chant told Commissioner. Mr. Jus- tice A. 'I‘. LeBlanc of the King's Bench District of theNcw Bruns- wick Suprem: Court that in 1936 he received from Inspector Palmer permit for around 90 boxes of lob- sters when in reality he only had about 45 boxes on hand. He had piled empty boxes around his cases in his warehouse and after re- ceiving the permits had used them to transport lobsters which had been packed illegally and which he had purchased during the Fall of last year. ' _

Six Witnesses Heard

Six witnesses gave evidence at yesterday's hearing and another highlight was the evidence of Au:- tin Skerry, Alberton South man who said he canned lobsters in a small building near his home and that he had put the pipe from the boiler into the house so that the smoke would go up the chimney of the kitchen thereby throwing off possible suspicion he was canning lo ters illegally.

ur Albertcn South fishermen corroborated the testimony of previous witnes"es that they were forced to pooch obsters to live, yet the quartette admitted they had never heard of nyone starving in the district and told Commission Counsel, Hon. H. F. G. Bridges they did little if any farming de- spite the fact that some had six and eight acres of clear lii“'l which they termed "good ground."
