“So far as a National Govern- ment is concerned, there is plenty of room for improvement over the King Government."

“And again. we might lmve a woman 111 charge of some of the social service activities. Lawyers take the place of all these in the King Government.

"After the discredit wirlch this Government has brought upon lt- sclf through this great Canada of our-s, the easiest task that a new Prime Minister u-oulti have would be to improve upon that govern- ment. Indeed he could hardly, in any way, form a iveaker govern- ment."

Farm Problems

“Our leader, Hon. Dr, Manic-a, 1n addressing the elector-s on Fri- day night last dealt in a master- ful way with our basic industry, Agriculture. It is not necessary for me at this time to say again to you that Agriculture. our basic lu- dustry, has been entirely neglect- ed by the present Government. A few evenings ago I spoke to you regarding one problem of food sup- plies for the benefit of the British Forces in war times. The Opposi- tion Candidates in this riding at a recent meeting strricd that the

telegrams of Mr‘ . Hy-ndman and myself regarding millfceds being secured to our f a r m e rs here

had been attended to.

"However, I find upon inquiry that the farmers have not had any advantages in this regard: arzd in asking one of the large produces of pork he stated that. the hog 1n- dustry ir1 this Province was in a. deplorable condition and that it wouid be impossible at» the present time, with the high prices of feeds and the pegged price of bacon, for any farmer to break eve-n. As you ar-e aware, the DOHCV of the Na- tional Conservative Party wit-h rc- fcrcnce to our basic industry of fanning ls a policy to place acri- culture on a basis that will bring t0 farmers a profit that they de- serve —ovcr and above the cost of production.

Packers, But .\'n l-‘arnrcrs

"'I'he Canadian Government negotiated 11 contract to supp‘: Great Britain with an average of 5,000,000 lbs. of bacon and ham weekly to 021011101", i040. 'I‘lrose who represent alzr ltru-c do not like the way this u-as done. ‘The terms of the contract may b." as good 11s cr-rvld have been gotten. but the objection that is made is that these representing the agr-lcuture end of the business had no opportunity to state any views orr it, while the packing ‘ntcr-csts were directly re- presented.

“There is another matter relative to the bacon and nor-k products that I believe you should know. last ear 25000000 lbs. were im- port»: from the United States to Canada. This is going into domes- tic consumption. because the Brit- ish contract distinctly specifies "Canadian" bacon. The point is — that with our standards the Am- erican product is inferior to Con- adlan. and the result four-ed is that our domestic consumption which ls developvi on a taste for high- quality Canadian bacon will largely be fest because of allowing this American product. to supply cur domestic trade. This does concern you as producers. and it also con- cerns us as consumers. Tire home market should be devcicned with our ow-n high-quality product as one aaeasure for nfter-the-tvar condi-

one.

Machine Prices Up

"I want, you to compare, Mr. farmer. the price parity of com- modity prices. For instance. the rise in price of farm machinery and all parts thereto. I mentioned in my last address that 15 to 25 per cent are the increases in what you have to buy, while the far-m greicea of all your production have

en and mostly are still belnrv production costs. This nrear-rs i-lrnt the pr-lcc of farm products our-l "lse materially bcforc there is that degree of purity betwrc-i agricul- lure and industri- vr-hlch must prevail for the welfare of all

"bet. me mention another way

the Mackenzie King Government plays into the hands of the big interests. “Fl-ifs Government, follow- ing decimation of war, folded their hands and allowed the wool deal- ers and commission agents to make and pocket a clean-up of over $800,000 by exporting to the United States Canadian wool, and it is needless io say that not a five-cent piece of the rakeoff was allowed to go irrro the pockets of the sheep farmers of this coun- try.

Plan Investigation

"We are determined after the election to have a fair and com- plete irrviestigaiiorr made into these mutter-s. Our tiallcy pledges us to give vigorous enwuragement to all forms of co-o rative nrnrketin" regulations and distribution of farm products which will stabilize prices so that the farmer may assured a. Just return on his op- crations.

Policy Towards Fishermen

“l want to say to the fishermen of my audience tmrlght just a few words: That the policy and plan of the Conservative Party with re- ttard to this industry is to encour- age and assist. and plat-c the fish- ing industry on a basis equal to the assistance given to all other in- duslries.

"To the lobster fishermen I wish to say that I have been informed that new l'E1Zll'|l10f1$ are pending for the caning season. but» these regulations wil not be given out until after March 26th. ‘these regulations. I am told, have to do with a new size-limit, also to the shortening of the season. I am, sure that these matters should now be known to the fishermen. The Fisheries Department state that no deficiency" payments with re 11rd to mackerel fishing will be gvcn with respect to the 1940 catch. This is a warning to the fisher- men that they must not base their fishirtg operations for 1940 upon the SilllllilSltlOil that they can have any assistance in t.\. matter.

Liberal Whispering Methods

"While on this Campaign I find that the Liberals are conducting rnezrn, low, whispering methods of securing support, using con- scription railway amalgamation and some other matters. Let me nail mose falsehoods now. Regard- ing conscription, let me quote our Leader, Dr Manlou. He has an- nounced our policy clearly and de- finitely with regard to conscription: “There will be no conscription put into effect in Canada by the Gov- ernment that Hon. Dr. Mar-lion will lend."

“Now regarding the railway nmalgamalion,1t.l1e child of the Mackenzie King Government and fathered by C. P, R interests. The Manlon Government, policy is clear-rut regarding this, and it LS —amr1lgumaion---ncver! but to op- crate the railways under- a non- political Board of Management. with power to work out the best interests cf the railway as a ser- vice to Canada and her citizens.

Other Problems

"Time does not permit me to deal with the labor. relief and un- employment poblem. but I will deal with these wjhen we have our meetings.

“In closing let me say my colicazuc. Mr. llvndman. and myself are well-known to all of you. Our views and past roc- ords are before you‘. and l now appeal to you to send u! to Parliament on the 26th of March as supporters of the Ilonorablc R. J. Mnnion‘s Na- tional Government nollcy. You will mukc I10 mistake from Prim-c Edward Island's point of vk-w. We are both local residents having our interests at stake hero. and we can be approached by y. 1 at any time when you huvc anything to see about.

“Our whole ambition is to have ilrc Provincial rlgiris and privileges of Prinz-e Edward Island recog- nized and protected, and to sec that we get a prvr-rata share of ti“ taxes cc nuv dlr-cctlv or indi- rrcllv returned to us in the way of 111-blit- wor-ks and industrial de- vciopmc-rrt.

"Our two assets as a Province are agriculture and fisheries. Under tl-c Liberal regime both have been allowed lo deteriorate and decay. It will be our dutv and pleasure to have lhem restored and improved. 11nd in this matter w-_- have been ommiss-d the cooperation and sup- mr-t of our Leader. Dr. Manlon," Mr. McLure onciudcd.
