Attacking the Gov- ernment fcrslisgcrf ‘sxtrsvsgsues st the Peaks Station poiltirsi meeting isst night, Mrfl. P.

Arguing that this achievement was by reason cf the drop in com- modity prices, Mr. McIntyre was neatly answered by the l-luu. John A. MacDonald. who showed that the lowest price level occurred in 193i, during eight months of which the Les Government was in office, sud that this explanation cer- tslnly did uct account for the fact that s saving of 3108.099 in the following three years over the three full Liberal years, wss sf- fectcd by the sliedcgdly “extrav- sgsntl’ Msclllllsu sdminhtrsdlcn.

To this argument Hon. Mr. MacDonald replied by explaining that the contract referred to with the T.

"There is no chance on earth," Mr. MacDonald declared, “for a Province theuize of Prince Edward Island, with the small con- tract tbst we can give to any pub- lishing firm, of getting anything like the price that the Province of Ontario gets."

But for the extraordinary expen- diture incurred in rebuilding Fai- conwood Hospital and Prince of Wales College, giving unemployment relief, and paying Old Age Pensions, the provincial balance sheet would not have shown a single dollar debt increase under the present Govern- ment.

This was one of the striking facts proved by Hon. H. I". MacPhec, At- torney-Genersi, in speaking at s largely attended P0131051 01ml!!! It Wood Islands East, Fourth Queens, last night.

The Attorney-General spoke in support of the Conservative candid- ates, Masts. McDougsll and Jun- kins, all of whom were gf/en an en- thusiastic reception.

It is useless for the Liberal press and politicians to ignore the sensational exposure of Liberal political manoeuvring In 1929 which resulted in the failure of the Conservative Premiers of’ New Brunswick and Nova Scotia to obtain co-operation with this Province in pressing the Mackenzie King Government for subsidy settlement as recommended by the Duncan Commission.

The Saunders-Robb corrﬂspondencc read by Premier MacMillan at Tuesday's meeting in Charlottetown GIVES THE LIE DIRECT to repeated statements made by Mr. M, Lea, Liberal leader, blaming the other Maritime Premiers, who according to Ex-Premler Saunders were “on different occasions” refused the co-cperation of the

Province in a matter of the

most vital importance to our taxpayers. i _ Here is the statement made by Mr. Lea at the last

“I remember when we were on that side of the House and had endeavored during the four years of our administration to have a hearing of our claims at Ottawa and to prevail on the Premiers of Nova Scntia and New Brunswick to join with us, AS THEY HAVE NOW JOINED WITH OUR FRIENDS, their, replies first were favorable, but on the approach of a federal election THEY BECAME INDIFFERENT, and as Prince Edward Island was the only Liberal Govern- ment, the chairman of the audit board did not wish to recommend our claim without being able to include the two Conservative Govemments in the Maritime Provinces. Evidently the Governments of Nova Scotia. and New Brunswick DID NOT WANT T0 GIVE MACKENZIE KING A CHANCE T0 PAY THE PROVINCE-S INCREASED S U B S I D I E S JUST BEFORE THE ELECTION OR T0 IMPLEMENT THE FINDINGS OF THE DUNCAN COMMIS- SION.”-Hon. W. M. Lea, in speech on Draft Address,

And here are the facts, as stated by Err-Premier Saunders, October 7, 1929 in a letter to Hon. James Robb, Minister of Finance in the Mackenzie King Government, ill the matter of subsidy claims presentation:

“You further suggested, last spring, that this Province should come ALONE. RATHER THAN IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE OTHER MARITIMES. Accordingly, I have ON DIFFERENT OCCASIONS DECLINED TO CO-OPERATE WITH PREMIER RHODES AND PREMIER BAXTER IN A JOINT PRESENTATION. I ALSO DECLINED T0 HAVE ANYTHING TD.

In a traditionally Liberal stronghold, Clifton, and before an audience a portion of which was composed of imported opposition rooters and political healers, Messrs. Thomas Wligmore and Theophilus Bcaton received a good reception. The latter gave his time to lvlr. J. H. Myers. MP, who discussed the provincial issues clearly and concisely. The Liberal candidates, Messrs. W. L. Alan Stewart and D. N. MacKay, al- though they received vociferous support from an element huddled in the left rear corner of the hall, were surprisingly feeble and in- effective, and failed to impress the major and thinking part of the audience.

Mr. Wigmore, his indignation aroused by personal affronts from Mr. MacKay, challenged the two to citc one personal promise which he had made and which he had failed to honour. The Liberal speakers remained tongue-tied.

"I ask Mr. MaoKay to name one personal promise," thundered Mr. Wigmore turning upon his antag- onist.

“You—-you made splattered Mr. MacKay.

promises."

"Como on now, be a sport," urged Mr. wlgmore. Mr. MscKay returned no answer.

Fortress

An unpleasant wndltlon was in- troduced into the meeting by Mr. Peter Sinclair, federal Liberal candidate, who committed an in- excusable breach of platform eti- quette. Speaking presumably at the request, certainly with the per- mission cf Messrs. Stewart and MacKay, he completely ignored provincial issues and detained the sweltering audience till almost midnight while he gave a windy rehearsal of his federal campaign

speech.

Unwlliing to continue at the late hour, Mr. Myers, to whom the priv- ilege of rebuttal was given merely said: "At the proper time and in the proper place, I will put Mr. Peter Sinclair in the place where he belongs."

LONDON, July ll-The House of Commons tonight wu in a storm as David Lloyd George. One-timﬂ Liberal leader, and Sir Austen Chamberlain, former Corlservbitlve Foreign Secretary, battled over the Treaty cf Versailles, economic sanc- tions and the whole course of Brit-

ish foreisu policy.

Lloyd George continued the for- eign affairs debate with a speech in which he called the stress con- (gyoncg g, piece 0i’ bluster, and talked of the “humbug hyprocrisy" of the resolution passed subse- quently at Geneva.

"It should not be thought by It- aly." said the little Welshman, with reference to possible economic sanc- tions against treaty breakers. “that under no circumstances would we seek co-cperstlon with a view to carrying out the resolution (adopt- ed at Geneva) to which Mussolini himself was s party in April.

"If Italy is left under that im- pression I am perfectly certain that the last chsace of avoiding wsr

Lloyd George declared he was now being criticised because of the harshness of the Treaty 0f Ver- sailles. Hls was one of the few remaining men who had framed it. Yet at the time there was no- body in the House ready to attack it

"The only protest I had was from 203 Conservative members who sent me s telegram protesting it was not harsh enough." he said. From among the signatories of the telegram. Lloyd George cited Sir Samuel Hosre and Sir Philip Cun- liffe-Uster. Secretary for Air.

"My complaint is." he ssid. "that the harshest provisions of the treaty have been enforced and the more benevolent provisions like the League oomnaut and the inter- national labor office have been thwarted, delayed, mocrsstinated and trampled upon."
