11¢. Campaign, Issue Now Clearly Defined

A most signiﬁcant statement was made by Mr. Thane a Campbell. Liberal campaign leader, in the. Capitol

eat" Tllllrﬁllﬂy night, when he said that the claims for $430,000 annual subsidy increase presented by the Lea Government before the Audit Board in May, 1930, repre- sented “the minimum increase of subsidy which would enable us to carry along satisfactorily with a. balanced budget.”

For the year 1930, according to the Liberal press and party spokesmen, the Lea Government had a "surplus” of $16,382.70. This notwithstanding the fact that they got NOTHTNE in the way of increased subsidy.

_ T1115 sllllllils” was achieved on ordinary account, by shifting gravehand road machinery expenditures from ordinary to capital account, and by ignoring sinking fllnd charges. It was purely fictitious, THE DEBT INCREASE THAT YEAR WAS $234,581.23.

All that the Liberal party now promise is T0 PRO- DUCE ANOTHER FAKE SURPLUS ON CURRENT ACCOUNT.

What hope does this hold out to the taxpayers ?

_ They could not really balance their budget in 1930 without a minimum of $430,000 increased federal subsidy. The MacMlllan Government obtained $150,000 increase since that time. This leaves a subsidy shortage of $280,000 annually without which, (according to Mr. Campbell's interpretation of the Lea claim before the Audit Board) ll. would be impossible‘ “to carry along satisfactorily with a balanced budget”.

But this referred to Government expenditures in 1930.

Since that time, new government burdens have been dates, and were as quiet and ord-

In Audit Board Brief Proved At___Bradalbane

Opposition Candidates Produce Witness To Prove Falsity Of Claim Presented By Their Own Gov- ernment For Subsidy Increase — Enthusiastic Reception To Conservative Speakers.

Damaging admission of incompet- cncy and non-co-operatlon that re- sulted in thousands of loss to farmers throughout-the PIOVl-llfb was harcd by the Liberals themselves at the Bradalbane meeting last night when they attempted to take credit from the Conservatives for the development of Island gravel pits and use of Island glavel in road construction work. Mr. E. Humph- rey, owner oi the Springton pit, who spoke on behalf of Mr. Alan Stew- art in the final minutes oi his re- buttal, stated that in August oi 1927 when the Saunders-Lea. G." erlt assumed power, two federal engin- eers conducted an investigation and reported favorably. Despite this the Liberals imported gravel from Nova Scotio. to the extent oi some $331,- 500 to the detriment oi Island labor. ln May, 1030, when according to the w. ‘ made llis night, the Lib- crnls were aware o the suitability of Island gravel a claim was-pre- rcnicd to the Audit Board by the 1.2a Government containing the following statement:

MIR. SHARFS ADDRESS

Hon. G. Shelton Sharp, Minister of Public Works, who spoke on be- half oi Mr. Theophllus Beaten, ably defended the record of the Govern- ment citing the new moneys brought into the Province through the ill- creased federal subsidy grant, old age pensions, uneinploymeniurelief, etc. He capably dealt with the ad- ministration of his department, showing the economical manner in which it was run in comparison to the late Liberal regime under Mr. McIntyre.

"Mr. Bennett promised a trans- Canada Highway oi gravel, but we felt a more permanent road was needed, added the difference to tile cost and are building a hard-sur- face road of which the Dominion Government pays $5.500 per mile and the Provincial Government the remainder," Mr. Sharp stated" He touched on the Carnegie grant oi $88,000 for the endowment of a. chair in Sociology and Economics and al- so the establishment oi branch lib- raries through additional Carnegie

Meeting.

"Tile iinul picture of the recbrd of the hlacMillan Government con- trasted with the record of the Lea. Government is an improvement oi the financial position of this Pro-

vince of $2,000,000 under the present 2

Conservative administrations. and on the other hand an increase in the debt of $1,117,000 under the late Liberal Government. That was one oi the outstanding facts brought out by lion. ll. F. MacPhee, Attorney- Generai, speaking on the record oi the Maeliiillan Govemment at Ver- non lllvcr last night.

Both lion. Mr. MacPheo and the two Conservative candidates, Memrl. Lawson Jenkins and A. H. ‘Mac- Dougall received a rousing reception,

The meeting which was very large- ly attended, showed n strong Con- servative sentiment.

Hon. Mr. MacPhce. dealing with finances stated that under the pres- ent Government there has been a debt increase oi $927,000 and by that much the finances oi the Province are worse than they were at the be- ginning oi the term of oiiioe. On the other hand the Government has w its credit that it has realized on the claims of this Province at 0t- lawa to the extent oi three million dollars. Regarding Liberal criticism that there was no three million (lollm-s placed to the credit oi this Province at Ottawa, the Attorney-

River Solidly

General quoted from the report of the White Commission which says so. Mr. MacPhee advised all who doubted that to get a. copy of the report and read what it says on page l 1.

Referring to the Conservative platform in 193i the speaker pointed out very clearly that all the promises had been implemented wherever possible. Old age pensions were promised in 103i and were given. In contrast with that was the Lib- eral promise of old age pensions in 102'! but they did not give it. “Old age pensions should be one of the last things the Liberal candidates would mention," said Hon. Mr. Mac- Phee amid loud applause.

The Conservatives promised in i981 to press the subsidy claims at Ottawa. The claims were recogniz- ed to the extent of three million dollars due to the perseverence and diligence of the present Government in pressing the subsidy claims. In 192i the Liberals had a plank promis- ing in press the claims oi this Pro- vince at bttawa. They accomplish- ed nothing. They went through the motions but accomplished nothing. They refused definitely and consist- ently to co-operatc with the other Maritime premiers. By such a re- fusal they broke the pledge that
