est importance is attached here to the results of Gen. Gamelins talks with Italian leaders, which are be- ing kept strictly secret.

Rome is dlsorediting British press reports of a secret Franco-Italian agreement. It is pointed out that the Mussolini-Laval agreement of Jan. 7, is more than sufficient to maintain the firmest friendship be- tween the two nations.

She referred to the Boy Scout and Girl Guide movements as twin movements going hand in hand throughout the world.

"God speed you in your work," the Chief Guide said in conclus- ion," and I. thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the kindliness shown to a humble worker in your midst."

Lord Baden-Powell endorsed all Lady Baden-Powell had said ab- out Prince Edward‘ Island and Canada. Although he had never visited here before he had been in Canada many times and had learned to love it. “If only Scouts would leave us alone we would come and live here, but we must wntinue our journey. There 18 no nest for the wicked," the Chief Scout added, with a twinkle in his eye.

1t was interesting to see the movement in the embryo stage as it is in this province the speaker stated. He had seen many move- ments collaipse and built again on the ruins. Here, however, there seemed to be a good foundation of

understanding. They had a. long way w go but they were on the right road. He was much taken

After all that is the great thing. The whole fourmtion of scouting and guid- ing is searching out the good parts of the individuals character and dfli/Bl ‘u! thflil,

(Mk. J. 0. Hyndman expressed to Lt. Governor DeBilois the ap- preciation of the organization for the interest he had taken in scouting and guiding.

CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATES

(Continued from Page i)

the district had been attended to.

"It has been my endeavor to see that this part of the district re- oelved its share of attention, and you can see that it certainly ha: not been neglected," he said.

Mr. Bethune referred also to the construction this year of the new Rocky Point-Charlottetown ferry steamer, and to the placing of high powered tractors in the north and south sections of the district. He stressed the benefit of the cater- pillar tractor over the Bordson machines employed by the Liber- als. It had been his aim, he said, to pay special attention to the roads and bridges of the district.

Old Age Pension:

Old Age Pensions, Mr. Bethune pointed out, had been implement- ed by the Conservatives though this was one of the election pledges of the Liberals in 1927. Notwithstanding their failure to redeem this pledge they had piled up, in their last eight months an increased debt of $540,000.

This was the party, Mr. Bethune taunted, which now proposes t0 “balance the budget." To do so. he showed they would have to starve the public works of the Province.

What government officials, Mr. Bethune asked, did the Liberals propose to dismiss in implementing their platform? Did they propose to deprive the Ministers of Public Works and Agriculture of cars, and put them back to the old "horse and carriage days"?

Mr. Lea when in office had ooh- stantly used a government car. It ill behooved him to criticise the present Premier in this regard, who has always used his own car.

Other planks of the Liberal plat- form were analyzed by Mr. Beth- une, who showed that many of them were merely re-stalemcllti 0f policies already put into effect by the MacMillan administration.

"I don't care what government comes in, the cheaper type of as- phaltic road with which this Gov- ernment experimented last i011- will be used extensively in this Province,” he predicted.

Reference was also made to the trans-Canada hiBhWBY inward‘ which the Bennett Government is contributing $7,500 per Iii-ile-

In the enforcement of all the laws of the Province, the record of the present administration com- pares favorably with that of any government, Mr. Bel-hum 5010- I" proof of this he cited a recent commendatory statement of Mr. Justice Saunders at the opening of the supreme Court in Summerside.

Liberal "Econom "

The Liberal pledge 0f l P550" farm for jail prisoners, which would probably mean the expend- iture of $150,000 at least, was an- alyzed by Mr. Bethune, who wri- trasted this virlth the other Liberal. pledge of tdrastic expenditure- re- t. ' i

‘School books used in this Prov- ince, it had been claimed, W" retailing in Ontario at six cents Mr. Bethune had investillwdfih” statement which appearedil? 011° Liberal manifesto and he found that the Ontario Government was absorbing the rest of the cost. Wu this what the Liberals browsed ta do in this ProvinceTHe did not think the taxpayers would support any such policy.

“This Government has been en- deavorlng at all limes to find markets for our fishermen and they have made active efforts obtain reduction in express rates, Mr. Bethune declared. The diffi- culty has been that United States express companies will not eon- cede any reduction in this r088"!- Pcrsonally, he had endeavored in every way to be of assistance to the fishennen of his district.

A m: share of enmlcvment w returned soldiers, he continued. had always been part of the Con- servative policy.

Mr. Bethune also discussed the circumstances leading up to. the million dollar bond issue, which the Province was forced to make by reason of the huge overdraft of more than a million dollars left by the outgoing Lea Government.

Reference was also made to the reconstruction of Faloonwood Hos- pital.

Closing Remark:

"Where would this Province have been if some relief had not 001118 from Ottawa and if this Govern- mcnt had not co-operated by con- tributing its share towards the cost?" Mr. Bethune asked at the close of the meeting in the ten rnln- utes allotted to him for NDly, His question went to the point raised b! the Liberal candidates‘ criticism of alleged government extravagance in road and other expenditures. Mr. Bethune also red Liberal statements regarding Old Age Pen- sions, assistance to fishermen‘ end other ma“ . He concluded amid loud appl-llllo-

Seweeh-oplgnnda

Liberal propaganda, consisting o! eternally harping on Falconwood Hospital plans, was a source of con- stant humiliation tothose of our citizens who have friends and rela- tives there, he declared.

The loss of the Cuban potato mar- ket. he showed. was due to the West Indies trade agreement negotiated by the Mackenzie King Government and not to the Bennett administra- tion. He cited facts and figures to prove this, showing the sharp de- cline ln Cuban imports following this agreement. He also referred to the United States agreement with cube, which had the effect of shut- ting our potatoes out.

The complete failure of the late Liberal administration to obtain any subsidy settlement from the Mac- kenzie King Government was strongly denounced-by Mr. Currie, who cited the contemptuous man- ner in which Mr. King had dealt with the petitions of the Liberal Premier of this Province in connec- tion with this matter.

Belplug The Partners

The result of the Ottawa Agree- ments in strengthening the price of pork during the past two years was next referred to as an example of the constructive leadership given by the Bennett Government.

Mr. Currie said he regretted that his health was stir‘: uncertain, but he hoped to continue the campaign and could assure the electors that if elected he would do everything possible to implement any promises made, and to serve them to the best of his ability.

MR. AN GUS McPHEE

w. Bethune, contended Mr. Angus McPhee, first Liberal speak- er, had made “a good plea of a bad case." I-1e thought it was "a ridiculous thing" that Ministers and government officials should have cars to drive around at the people's expense.

His defeat by sixteen votes in the last election Mr, McPhee at- tributed to "the terrible lot of spoiled ballots" which, he estim- ated, numbered about 200 through- out the dlstrict. His colleague Mr. LePage, however, had "made the grade." This time he thought they would both make the grade.

“You would almost hear those Conservative politicians going around with crocodile tears in their eyes at the last Dominion election," Mr. McPhee declared, maintaining that the Provincial Conservative candidates had done likewise. when they got into office they had forgotten about their ec- onomy pledges, he charged.

The Liberals,‘ he continued, should have an ilvestigatHn of the million and a quarter dollar bond issue. There was, he thought, ‘ nigger in the woodpile."

. Macmillan he considered had "got the swelled head and sent for e, foreign architect" to rebuild Falconwood Hospital on a big seele..

Dominion politics next engaged Mk. McPheeh attention. “We don't blame the local Government for the depression but we blame the policies of the Bennett Govern- mcnt,” he .said.~"'1‘hat is the reas- on why the railroads and steam- boate are idle." He cited figures to show that trade was greater and unemployment less before the world economic slump had set in. Conservative extravagance in the Public Works Department was charged. “You want to get out on the roads to see what the present Government is spending." Mr. MacPhee said. On one section of road he had seen “eighteen able- bodied men with dung-forks." Mr. Bethune, he claimed, had promis- ed economy in road maintenance, and now he was defending ex- tfflvagance.

With the revenue that is com- ing in now he did not see why a. great saving could not be made, es- pecially in the Public Works De- partment Officials‘ salaries, he believed, should be cut. So fair as the Deputy Ministers are concern- ed he did not care if they were dismissed altogether. It was "a waste of time" for them to go around "preaching about taming. They ought to be out looking for markets.”

The Minister of Public Works, Mr. McPhee conceded, should have a government car. The other of-' ficlals ought to provide their own.

Motorists driving with " much liquor in their stomachs‘, were roundly denounced‘. The_ speaker did not think the laws were being enf strictly in this regard. . '

Mr. , who followed, w. Currie, said he had given his time and aervioe to the" country for practically nothing. The little money he received es a Legislative member (MG) per . session) was “not worth talking about".

"The country was iult lliwdi run with a million dollars. lee: of ordinary ilture than these fellows in ‘," he declared.

“The road here is in Drett I000 shape," Mr. LePege conoed "but the main Charlottetown-Borden highway is in a disgraceful condi- tion.

‘They are tearing down the Provincial Building today," he db- clared. It would cost. he predicted, $70,000 to repair. This statement was made as evidence of "Con- servative squendermania."

That inefficiency on the part of a Conservative employee was res- imuslble for the destruction of Prince of Wales College was advan- ced as "a personal opinion" by Mr. LePage. He criticised Government expenditure on the new foundation. also on “varnish. linoleum, and shower baths" in the new College.

The Falconwood Hospital plans.

the treatment of every insane per- son ln Canada." had been “ashamed to say what the total cost would be." “If I had the plans here and showed them to you. you would think that they were in- sane themselves," he added.

To the Bennett Government he attributed responsibility for shut- ting out Cuban sugar. He did not think any farmer in the community had benefitted by the Farmers Cred- itors’ Arrangement Act. The Mar- keting Act "would have been a great thing if somebody had got hold of it who could have managed it right." Two or three shippers had got on the Board, and had “bungled the thing up."

Defense of the Lea. Government's million-dollar bank overdraft was offered by Mr. IePage on the ground that it did not matter to the taxpayers whether the Government owed- money to the bank or to the bond holders.

Hon. Mr. McNutt was "a fine old gentleman but he was not fit for the Job of Minister of Agriculture," Mr. IePage claimed.

"$23,000 of your hard earned mon. ey was given by this Government to remove clay from the Ebthibition Ground. MacMillan done that thinking it would elect him," the Liberal candidate said. (His refer- elwa was w an unemployment relief project paid for wholly by the Do- minion Government.)

The Government, he continued, would have sot $500,000 of subsidy increase from Ottawa instead of $150,000 He. Mr. IoPage, was not satisfied with it. Had there been three men on the White Commis- sion of the calibre of the ideritime representatives (Chief Justice M3,. thieson) we would havegotien our rights. "

The Iesisiatum had not been consulted in the matter, of Con. structing the Borden-Charlottetown highway this year. Had, the Lin. erals been given the opportunity they would have opposed it. he said.
