This was gross misrepresentation on hi1‘. l/Vriglifs part. As the Premier admitted in his the total liability increase of the Province during the calendar year 1935 was $952000. Both governments were in power d a considerable proportion curred by the Lea-

budget speech, 1936,

In all fairness he should also have explained that when the Conservatives came into power in beral overdraft of more an increased Liberal h interest and sink-

1931, they found a Li than a million dollars, and debt of $1,177,000 for whic ing funds had to be provided.

As for Mr. \Vright's alibi that the Liberal pledge to balance the budget was given on the misunderstanding that the total cost of the high- o be met by the Dominion only assume that the Bed- rque member has not read his 0\vn party’s pre- elcction hlanifesto, published in the Patriot on ijulv 5, I933. Therein it is claimed that “the 1B:iidcii-Ciiarlottetown highway will in all prob- ability add at least a half a million dollars to ill’! already staggering liabilities of the Province." In spire of this, the Manifesto pledged the party l0 balance the budget amiinrillyi.

Even supposing that I935 Sll0\\'C<l great“ liabilities than were anticipated by the Liberals. aivho themselves were in power for sevfzral ‘months of that year, we would ask ‘Mr_ Wright ‘this question".

‘The steady increase of taxation is what is lﬂlllllg industry and heaping up unemployment. If the Canadian Government is in a position to spend $40,000,000, or there-abouts, in an at- tempted artificial stimulation of business, it can just as well afford the infinitely better method of relieving business of a. corresponding fin- ancial incubus.
