GRITS VS. CONSERVATIVE METHODS

ln 1911 when the Grits closed tlielr financial year _at

30th September they carried over to the next flnhlwn ycar three months' salaries of teachers amounting t0_ $23,400. Naturally when people suillv °f WC” SW" °°°“' ing of accounts come to examine the accounts of their successors, the first thing they look for is similar mis- applied ingenuity. To their amazement and disgust V-hvy found that the Mathieaon Government had Paid “Vary cent of salaries due and accruing, except $400 Which ll- Wil" impossible to pay by December 31 because the teachers had not forwarded their returns in time. In their raiie and disappointment the Patriot and it-S H0l`Vli0 few B°“ght some other means of disparaging the G0V‘”'“me“"'3 3**

countancy. and fixed upon tho teachers' supplements, which are not due to be paid until January 31. Even allowing for the accrued portion to December 31, the Government had still an actual surplus out of which they paid $21,000 of war expenditure, $7,000 for the Lowe award, $12,000 for creosotcd piles and $14,000 for agricultural buildings--all of which should legitimately come into 1915 expenditure but was paid for out of 1914 revenuo. Yet the Patriot persists in representing that the Government. the Govern- ment Auditor, and 'the External Auditor are wrong and

that it is right when it claims there is no surplus. lt is only recently that it assumed this attitude, for formerly it admitted there was this surplus, and termed it a "meas- ly surplus.” In this connection we may quote what the lion. Charles Dalton had to say on the subject as it is quite apropos: l-Ie would like to ask, said Mr. Dalton, in view ofthe enormous reduction in the public debt, the increased efficiency of the public service, and the large expenditure on permanent public works, did the Opposi- tion or the Opposition press think for a moment that the people of this country, who have their senses about them, and their memoriiw, too, would say:

“Put us back into that state of things when there was

an annual deficit of $45,000; put us back to that time when

thcro was not the falntitst idea of a $100,000 from the llomlnion Government; put us back to that time when our agricultural coliditions were as low as they could be and our educational .system acneniic'."' Did the Opposition think that tho people would say that? Did' the Opposi- tion now want to attempt to take credit for what the Con- scrvativo party, by real and earnest work, had done? If the Liberal party had managed their alifairs sufficiently well to sccurc a surplus of $10,000, would they, he won- dered, have labelled it a ‘measly surplus ’ Ho thought not. If they had over been placed in thc position in which the Conservative Governmoiit found themselves when they took up the reins, with a colossal dcbi: as tile only me- mento of thc retiring party's activities, would they have undcrtaken` the task of pulling the province together and putting it on its feet? Before another Parliament mot, continued the speaker. the electors of the province would he asked for their verdict. The Conservative party would

ask, ‘Have wc done better in three years than the Liberals did in twenty years? Have we not obtained a surplus for three years? And although it is only a 'measly' surplus of $10,000. will you take the other party with their deficit of $45,000 a year?" This would be asked the country be- fore another year went by, and any person who wanted to think sensibly would know what the answer would he. Would any person stand for a Government that had kept the country in bankruptcy until they cried, in their agony, ‘Save us! We pcrish?‘ Would the electorate of Prince Edward Island, understanding the situation, say, ‘We will take hack the other fellows who could not manage our affairs? lt was absurd to think it. There was only one answer that could be given that question. The Coiiscrva- tive Government, said Mr. Dalton, had used the funds in an economic manner and had spent every cent to the best possible advantage. Would the Opposition point to one fifty-dollar bill, or one fivedollar hill, or one onericllar hill and say, ‘You have misused it; you have not spent it in thc interests of the country?' Would the Opposition say that? They would if they could. If the Government had H“U<'0Gfl0fi ill afitiiniz to the finances of the country, who should get the credit for it? He did not think tho elec- torate would say that they should pay off all the old bills incurred promiscuously by their predecessors; hut sim that was what they were doing. If the present party did

as well during the coming ycars _as they had done during he Past four, the old and tremendous dubt of the Lihernls would bo completely wiped out in tho course of time; and if the people of the country appreciated an that tim cfm- aervative Government had done for them in the las; go,"-

¥’_9&l;1_»-Iilld th_ero was no doubt the people did app,-acute - en the Conservatives would have the gratification of

seeing the last of the beta noir left them by their Liberal opponents as a keepsake." ‘

UNITED STATE§ AND GERMANY

That the relations bctwocn the United States and Ger-

many havo about reached tho breaking point is now vcry

eviient. The sinking of tho White Star Liner, Arabic, wit the loss of several United Statescltizens is only one link in a chain that has for several months threatened to snap. One after another, ships, neutral or American, have been torpodoed and sunk, and Unitod Statas citizens have been murdered. Noto after note had been sent to Gor- many protesting against such acts and note after note was sont in reply. each with a new excuse and with re- newed assurances of friendship. The last American note was, if not an ultimatum. a threat that if certain things happened, certain consequences would follow. The cor- tain things hlllpenod and now for the consequences.

But another bad link has turned up in the chain that

has bound these two countries in apparent friendship. The "New York World," one of the most influential jour- nals in the United States, deliberately charges the Ger- man Government with havlpg conducted a propaganda in the United_States with a view to involving that country in the complications of the European yur. Bo-well au. thenticated are the "World's" charges that the Govern-

The correspondence." says The World, “reveals un

lnlltsliably that the leading ofllolsls of the _German Gov- ernment have had s hand in the promotion ~of ventures directed not alone at its belligerent enemies with whom it is at war, but, in some instances, at the laws of the United States as .woll. The most surprising fact in this connection is that no isps a porsonage than Herr Von Betymann-Hollweg. chancellor of the German Empire, has actually participated from Berlin in some of theaecret undertakings ofhls Government in this country.”

Recent reportsithat the German Government, through

its agents were connlving with dialoyal trade union lead- ers toifoment strikes in plants engaged ln the`msnufac- ture of articles of war in the United States are confirmed, to an extent, by the correspondence in possession of The World. ' From these documents it appears that an official in the onlce of the military attacha of the German am- bassy was in communication with certain labor leaders for the purpose of bringing about strikes in ammunition and motor car plants which it was estimated would cost $50,000. It also appears that conferences were held be- tween the agents of the German Govemment and these labor leaders just before the inauguration of strikes in the Remington and other munitions plants. The mon named in the correspondence are one Marlow, C. W. McLane and' a labor leader mysteriously described as "K" and identi- fied by labor leaders as a man who played an important role in bringing about the recent strikes in munitions plants ln Connecticut.

The financial features of the undertakings are said to

have been cared for by banks both in Germany and New York. Tho magnitude of some of the transactions sug- gests expenditure of a very large sum of money every week, one estimate based upon pretty accurate know- ledge of these transactions, fixing the figure at $2,000,000. The transfer from the Imperial Interior Bureau through the Deutsches bank to the credit of the German ambassa- dor at Washington of $1,100,000 is manifestly for the use of the secret service maintained in this country. Every move made in furtherance of the general German propa- ganda and of specific undertakings is shown to have been performed under-the personal direction of the German Chancellor, its American Ambassador and Chief Financial Agent Albert.

Ono of the very important features of the German pro-

gramme was a most elaborate scheme to control and in- fluence the press of the United States, to establish news- papers and news services, finance professional lecturers and moving picture shows, and to enlist the support of American citizens and publish books for the sole purpose' of fomentlng internal discord among the American people to the advantage of the German Empire. r

These charges are being investigated by tho United

States Government. Taken in conjunction with the “dc- liborately»unfriendly" sinking of the Arabic it will mako quite a complicated diplomatic problem for the next few

weeks. _ I ‘_ _ yu*

AN EFFICIENT GOVERNMENT

llavlng become exhausted of ammunition. the Patriot

has started serving up 'a 'second time its stale articles in_ criticisms of the Government. Two can play at that game, so-here goes a repetition of the reply we previously made to the same article: A

in the course of our discussion of the financing of the

Province under the Liberals we have shown clearly, first, that they acted unjustly and corruptly in failing to exact taxation from all from whom it 'was duo; and secondly. in not accoiintlng honestly for tho disposal of the money after it rcachcd their hands. The farmer tolls and sweats from early morning till dcwy eve, and very few of ihom take any active part in politics. They bitterly, resent being "done," however, and having once discovered that they had become the prey of the wily grits to tation and batton on. they have been aroused to such indignation that nothing The Patriot may say to again lure them to do- slrnction will have any effect. The false comparisons and fraudulent misrepresentations so characteristic of our Con- temporai'y’s modus operandi are now of little avail. The facts are _so patent and so readily ascertainablo that no one who does not purposely desire to be misled, can pos- sibly be taken in by them. One of the best testimonials to the efficiency and honesty ot’ the present Government i to be found in tho collection of taxes. Without in- creasing taxation one cent, the present Government col- lected last year, $71,715 more than did the Liberals in 1911. This includes the value ot’ the labor of the farmers on the roads. and lt is noteworthy that tho present Government “l|0W°‘l the fBl'U\0l'S $1.50 por day against $1.00 per day alltlved bythe Liberals. The Road Tax is spent in thi; districts in .which it is collected and the farmers are the best supervisors of the roadmastersin the discharge of their duties. Apart from the Road Tax, the increased vulue"_of which is principally due to additional 50 cents per day being paid the farmers for their labor. the Gov- ernment collected $52,631) more in 1914 than did the Lib- erals, and none of which was from the farmer-s, but from other taxation, principally from corporations financed from abroad. and from death duties. Thus the farmers see what can be achieved in their behalf by an honest, sfli. cient executive whose one object is to advance the in- terests ofthe Province-and make its inhabitants as a whole more prosperous, more comfortable and hence more con. tented than those of any other par-¢ of (;amrda_ /'
