Mr.'MacDonald noted that Mr.

Cox said there was often fourteen extra mén working with the power machinery. They are evidently still learning to use them.

The financial situation was dis-

cussed. "The Liberals had $1,000 a day more revenue than we did. Yet we are paying about double the interest on the public debt to- day compared to 1927.” (Applause).

They had a platform lu 1927

which they did not fulfill, so they said, "we will go back to the people this time without a policy.”

Mr. MacDonald was given pro-

longed applause. Defending his statement to -the Good Roads Convention. that after all the work ha had done on the roads he had "scarcely scratched the surface.” Hon- J. P. Mcintyre contended that this referred to the amount of work done compared to that which should have been done. He further stated that every 'gov- emment, Liberal or Conservative. up to the time of the Lea admin- istration had neglected the second- ary roads.

“We have spent on the roads,

$141000 more than the Stiwart Government did." he said, "but it was all spent on improvements."

Mr. MacIntyre did not prmuce

any copies of the correspondence ol- lf-ged to have been tabled in con- neitlon with the road machinery purchases, but read a list of firms which had made tenders for , the machinery.

Mr. H. D. li/l'scEwen, who was giv-

en a splendid hearing( explained that Mr. Lea must be measured, not as s. farmer, doctor or lawyer, but by his success as Premier. It is expected, he said, that the roads should be improved considering the money spent. He referred to the neglected condition of the road to Charlottetown either .by way of Fort Augustus or St- Peters road.

Mind

(Canadian Press) ‘ UITAWA, Ont., July 29-Public ownership of the Beauharnois de- velopments was what the commit- tee lnvsetigating the project had in mind in the main recommendations contained in its report submitted to the House of Commons last night. Although the members of the com- mittee were in general agreement as to the general features of the report there was some different of opinion as to minor details which leaves the way open for an amend- ment when the question is discuss- ed tomorrow. These facts were brought out in interviews with members of the committee today. Attitude of, the Liberal party to- ward the report was being deter- mined this morning at a caucus of members and senators. While the Liberal members of the committee were in fsulaotsntlal agreement with” the major recommendations, the report was not entirely unanimous and the way was open for an amendment, said Hon. Ian MacKen- zie, Liberal. Vancouver Centre. If an amendment were offered. it was ‘ understood it would not affect the main recommendations which sug- gested negotiations with Quebec with a view of procuring the project in such a manner as would. bfst serve the people of Canada. While it was stated last night by certain members of the committee that thc report was unanimous it has devel- oped since there was not full agreement on certain minor details. Public ownership of the Beauhar- nois project was in the minds of ithe committee when they made their main recomme.ndation,, said Mr. MacKenzie, and this view was concurred in by Robert Gardiner, U. F. A- Acadia. Because of parlia- mentary rules, this could not be recommended specifically because a committee cannot suggest the spondingfof public money. If the government decided to not on this recommendation, it might be necw- sary to adjourn the session for six weeks or two months, during which time negotiations with Quebec and with the Beauharnois Company might be carried on. Another possi- bility would be that the govern- ment would ask parliament to grant it blanket powers to negotiate and take over the project.

Summerside, P. E. I.

March 21, 1927.

Dear Sir: `

Some of the executive members of the East Prince Lib-

eral Association feel that on account of Premier Stewart’s pronouncement in favor of Government Control of liquor as one of the planks in the Conservative platform at the next ensuing Provincial Election, it might be advisable to call an informal meeting in your district OF SOME OF THE PROMINENT AND OUTSTANDING PARTY WORKERS to consider this question, and to advise me just what course you think OUR PARTY should adopt. I think it would be

adviiaable to have such a meeting at once, as no time should e ost.

I have reason to think that the election may be called on

at an early date, possibly the middle of May. For that reason our party must be prepared to announce its policy at an early date. I also feel that the meeting SHOULD NOT BE TOO LARGE, as it might lead to some ACRI- MONIOUS DISCUSSION without any tangible results. I do however, think it best that both sides should be well represented at such a meeting,-that is, those who favor the present law and THOSE WI-IO ARE OPPOSED TO IT.

Kindly do not let our Conservative friends know any-

thing about such a meeting. The Chairman of your meeting should also make it quite clear that everything should be STRICTLY IN OUR PARTY’S INTERESTS AND OF A CONFIDENTIAL NATURE. We need not remind you how carefully guarded the Conservatives kept all their discus- sion, and kept their own counsel. Please impress this on all who attend your meeting.

You should also bring to the attention of the meeting

that our success at this election means more than on any former occasion. We will be getting at least $160,000.00 additional subsidy, and it will simplify the work to such an extent that I am sure whichever Party succeeds on this occasion will be there for the next fifteen years. Therefore it is of the utmost importance that you do all you reason- ably can to have your meeting view the situation with an open mind, AND DO WHAT YOU CONSIDER IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF OUR PARTY.

. You can then report to me THAT TI-IE MEETING IS

IN FAVOR OF GOVERNMNT CONTROL OR IN FAVOR OF RETAINING THE PROHIBITION ACT. or are evenly divided on the question, as the ease may be. This will enable me to come to what I hope may be a conclusion IN THE VERY BEST INTERESTS OF OUR PARTY.

Police advanced the theory that

the outbreak was precipitated by a beer war between a gang headed by Jack (Legs) Diamond and "Dutch" Schultz and a. group led by Vincent Colli. They said they believed the intended victim was Joseph Rao, associate of Diamond and Schultz. A steward of a "so- cial club" near the scene was ar- rested for questioning.
