7.10m is not the ghost cf a chance that the Liberals will make any gains in the Prairie Provinces, in Ontario or Quebec. The Liberal prospects in the Maritimes are the reverse of roseatc. Where then may Premier King look for the necessary support to keep him in power?

On the other hand, the Conserva- tives will maintain their practical monopoly of British Columbia; will make probably twenty-five gains in the Prairie Provinces, where, accord- ing to all accounts, Liberalism is un- dei- a cloud; Ontario will make very

placed upon those words in the Dun-

the Duncan Commission with re- gard to the urgency of arriving at a final settlement of our claims for subsidy readjustment, he could have done as did Mr. Justice |McLean, chairman of the Fisheries Commission of which Mr. Macmillan was also a member,-he could have brought in a minority report.

Having failed to register objection in any shape or form to the report as submitted to the Government, we submit ‘that Mr. Macmillan is now estopped from pleading, as a mem- ber of the Duncan Commission, that the Commission entertained any idea that its recommendation dealing with subsidy readjustment would be ignored for four years pending the settlement of the claims of the West- ern Provinces.

True, Mr. Macmillan may continue to advance this argument. But it will

the suspicion of an effective antidote to this steadily growing feeling.

That Duncan Report

While stipulating that it was not possible to make a final recommend- ation as the increase and form of Dominion aid which one required to satisfy the Just claims of the Mari- time Provmces, the Duncan Commis-

sion, in September. i926, recommend- ;

rd “that the Dominion Government should give immediate consideration to the whole of this subject, with a View to a complete revision of the financial arrangements as between them and the Maritime Provinces." (Duncan Report, page 19, par. 3i. The present contention of Hon. Cyrus Macmillan, himself s signat-

ory to the Duncan Report. is that_ the commission had in mind certain‘ truism-riding claims of the Western Provinces which had first to be dealt l

with before any suli=idy settlement could be made with the NIBTKHMEF. The question naturally arises: Why then dld the Commission recommend "immediate consideration“?

More Garbled Statements

l i

Mr. Myers, the. local Liberal organ now ‘seeks to make its misrepresenta- tions more plausible by quoting Mr. Myers’ statement as reported in The Guardian of July 4. But it cuts off ' this quotation Just before Mr. Myers‘ I reference to the countervailing duties under the Dunning budget. Thisshowi- , ed conclusively that he was not mis- leading his audience in the slightest i degree by exposing what the Liberal candidates themselves admitted at [Bonshaw the other night. The very next sentence‘ in The Guardian's re- port of July 4 quoted by the Patriot reads:

i Hon. Mr. Myers". "That is the ' situation. The American producers can "countcrvail" now under the Dunning budget and they can flood Montreal, Toronto. Moncton and every market into which you and I would send our tablestock potatoes. It is a very serious thing indeed that they have done to the potato growers of this Island in i this one respect alone."

As Mr. John H. hiyers asked at the Bonshaw meeting, why, if we were entitled to have our wrongs righted by the Duncan Commission which was appointed for that specific pur- pose, should we have to wait until the grievances oi other Provinces were settled?

Moreover. asMr. Myers pointed out, subsidy increases were secured by provincial Conservative adminis- trations from ‘the Federal Govern- ment without waiting fcr the settle- ment of the claims of the western Provinces, which Mr. Macmillan him- self admits have been outstanding for the past thirty years.

Obviously, if it was ever suggested to Bir Andrew Rae Duncan that the claims of the Western Provinces stood in the way of a final subsidy ecttlement for the Maritimes, that sound political economist refused to

I talk about sleep often because nothing keeps you more irritable, up- set, with poor appetite and no desire for work, as does the lack of sleep.

The only way to build up a great structure of intra-Empire trade is to base that structure upon a two-way. preference system, upon a mutually profitable scheme of concessions and advantages.
