An im- iate consideration to the whole this subject, "with a, view to a lcte revision of the financial ments as between them (the - ion Government) and the ‘ time Provinces" was recom- r ‘ed, together with the payment gimmediate interim lump-sum in- ‘ w which for Prince Edward ~ ‘ d, amounted to $125,000, “These V im payments," it was stated, r hould be continued until the Do- ‘ l n Government has had time to — "plate its Jnvestigatlon and re- .» . ent."

' August, 1327, the Saunders l‘ yernlnent took office, and in No- lnber c: the same year a. Domin- -Provincial Conference was held t Ottawa, which was attended bl‘ ' - er Saunders and a gentleman ho was introduced to the confer- as “Attorney General Inman." that gathering the following state- - L was made by Hon.

only the western provinces are being dealt with. Why not the other provinces?

MR. MACKENZIE KING: For some reason or other the claims have not been put forward by the provinces.

The next intimation appears in the Speech from the Throne, deliv- ercd at the opening of the present Legislative session, March 19th:

"During the year my Govern- ment has been vigorously press- ing our claims for a further in- crease in the subsidy which we receive from the Dominion, and has strcsed the fact that, in view of the apparent intention to transfer to the Western Pro- vinces the natural resources with.- in their boundaries, equitable treatment to all the Provinces would appear to call for some corresponding concessions to our own Province."

Premier Saunders Shifts His Course

On March 230th, the Hon. J. D. Stewart, leader of the Opposition, discussed the Iutile policy of the Government in continuing to press the claims of this Province alone, and outlined the proper course of procedure as recommended by the Duncan Report. The ﬁrst; intima- tion by Premier Saunders that; he took any such course-a. course whlgh it was open to him to have taken ever since he assumed power- was given after Mr. Stewart's speech was delivered at the present session. In to the Secretary of the Teachers‘ Federation, March 21st,‘ the Premier wrote:

"At a recent conference in Ot- tawa, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance agreed to ar- range for an accounting between the Provinces and Canada, at which time our Province will be enabled w make a further de- tailed presentation of our claims. This accounting will take place next fail before a Board of Ex- perts. We are hopeful that, al- ter thLs Board will have submitted its ﬁndings to the Federal Gov- ernment, we will receive a sub- stantlal increase in subsidy at the next session of the Canadian Parliament."

Particulars as to the course P11!’- sued by Premier Saunders in the mat.- ter of calling an inter-provincial c011- ferencc were requested on the some, date by Dr. W. J. P. MscMlllsn, who followed the Premier on the Draft Address. The Premier made no re- ply to Dr. MacMillank question,

The Bluff Called

Then, on March 85th, the leader of the Opposition placed the follow- in: .

on on the Order Puller:

l. Have there been any ne- gotiations between the Govern- ment of this ince and that

the recess of this legislature regarding the ﬁli- al udiustment of Provincial sub- sidies. or with a view to obtain- ing additional subsidy for this Province?

I. Table all correspondence -ra same.

The inactivity of the Saunders Gov- ernment is shown by the statement of Premier King on Feb. 18, 1929, quoted above from the lhnsard N- porls. Since than, Premier Saunders maintains that he loo this course when on his last visit to Ottawa during the present month, but he sald nothing about it until the lead- er of the Opposition lud, called it lo his attention in the Draft Ad- dress, am] when asked to table In- tiou with reépect. to the action pondcuce con- mptorily

Tried and Found Wanting

The ‘results achieved by Premier Saunders, after eighteen months in which to secure a recognition of these claims declared by the Duncan Com- mission in 1920 to be deserving of the immediate consideration of the Don-union Government are perhaps but. summcgup by the Premier himself. when he admitted, in the course of his speech on the Draft Address during the present session:

CBUEL -—-.-

Sin-Have a heart Sir. You accuse our poor pvcrworkedﬂ) Premier or refusing‘ information regarding that little inaccuracy in the Speech about “vigorously” pressing our subsidy claims.

In the words of that old parable,- “Which is easier to say"? "I do not consider it in the public interest to publish the correspondence," or; I haven't any correspondence to pub.- lish. ~

Not long ago you published a letter recouunting the ennuf and inactivi- ties of the local Prime Minister,‘ end- ing up with a suggeStiOnR-“Why are you picking on me; I did'nt do any- thing." Why the cruelty of rubbing it in now? .

APYOPOS '01’ these two questions were asked. The first waa-“Have there 119611 any negotiations between the Government of this Province and that of Canada- regarding the final adjustment of Provincial Subsidies." Surely there could be no interference

with "m8 Public interest" to answer

this. No interest could be‘ endangered by answering Yes in the affirmative.

°' t° 51110"? the more truthful No.

The real fact ls that it is not in the

interest of the Premier and his Gov. ernment to disclose the whole mm; that nothing has been attempted or ac- sumed by warn" omna- 3nd” m‘ Wmlllished towards getting our share of subsidies due us, and that; this Pﬂfﬂxraph in the Speech was design. ed to mislead the people,

Please, Sir have a little compassion in the future for the overworked first minister who is so tired doing nothing, and from whom even the parliamentary Order Book ls in a cloud of obscurity. Surely like- the “chlp_in porridge" when hells doing absolutely nothing he cannot be do- ‘ing’ very much of harm.
