A Pledge Repudialed

the Pitiiiirer is informed liv Premier Lamp- hell." says our Stimmerside Liberal contem- porary. “that there was no pre-clection promise .111 the part of the present tioverniitent to hal- ance the budget without additional taxes, al- though it is true that the general method rc- comnienderl for balancing the butlgei was a re- duction 0f the expenditures of administration.“

It all dcpciitls. of course, on what Ur. Canip- bell 'aiid his party mean by pre-electioii promises. The Liberal platform definitely pledges the Government to “reduction of expenditure. suf- ficient to balance the budget annuallyi." It says nothing about “a general method recommended" for budget balancing; nothing about “expendi- tures of atliiiinistrziticiii.” These qualifying clauses are not in the bond. The time to have put them in was when the party was appealing forsupport. not three years afterwards, follow- ing increased taxes all along the line and an un- interrupted series of deficits annually.

How did Mr. Campbell himself interpret this pledge in the cainipaign? Speaking at Bloom- field, a5 reported in the Patriot of July 13, 1935. he said: “Premier Illacblillan said iii Tignish that we can't balance the budget except by in- crease of taxation, cutting out unemployment relief. or stopping the old age pensions. But I ray to you that we can and must balance the budget without doing any of these things.”

How was the platform interpreted by the Liberal press in the campaign? The Patriot.

July to, 1935, after citing the increased revenue in i934 over what the Liberals had to spend in 1930, and adding the $150,000 increase obtained by the MacMillan Government through the White Commission, said: "It can easily be seen that the Liberal platform of a Balanced Budget is no idle boast. . . If can be done without additional taxes, urilhoitf a cutting of salaries, without even o serious curtailment 0f any necessary service.”

And again on July i3, 1935: “ ‘It can be done.’ insist the Liberals. ‘We have promised to do it. We have the will to do if and we will do if.’ Some of the Liberal candidate: show their sin- cerity by declaring that if it is not done they will never run again." _

But now, it seems, "the Pioneer is informed by Premier Campbell that there was no pre-elec- tion promise on the part of the present Govern- ment to balance the budget without additional taxes".

That, of course, makes everything all right!

As Others See Us

My. Angus MacDonald, C.A., a. former Is- lander now residing in Ontario, writes in today's Forum column to express his disappointment at the manner in which the Island's case had been handled before the Rowell Commission._ -Ap- parcntly he has been paying more attention to "the semi-humorous accounts of the proceed- ings at Charlottetown" as reported by a special writer on the Winnipeg Free Press than to the more accurate summaries by the Canadian Press. or the more detailed accounts in the local news-

apers. The Free Press‘ writer covered the

earings in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Nova Scotia before coming here, and all of his articles have been "semi-humorous" in vein and cal- culated to "provoke smiles in other parts of Can- ada" at the expense 0f_those appearing before the Commission. His comments on the Char- lottetown sittings were republished in The Guardian because of the significant fact that the editor of the Free Press, Dr. Dafoe, is him- self a member of the Commission. Had our cor- mpondent read Mr. McGeachyk account of the . Winnipeg or Halifax sittings, he would have

110ml. while. at the same time declaring that what we require to bring "good profits to the prim- ary producers” is financial backing from the Dominion Government? The Commission was shown, not only that we require such assistance. but that we are entitled to receive it,

Perhaps the confusion in Mr. MacDonald's mind is due to the campaign of misrepres- entation regarding our claims at Ottawa for which the present Government, when in Op- position, was responsible. On the basis of the arguments of the Liberal press and campaign , speakers in i935. he may very well have sup- posed that we had no fiscal need. and no re- quirements of any kind that could not be met by practising a reasonable measure of economy".

The Rt, Hon. Sir John Anderson, P.C., G.C.. B., G.C.I.E., the new M.P.‘for the Scottish Universities in succession to the late Rt. Hon. Ramsay Macdonald, who succeeded Lord Tweedsmuir as member, has had a most distin- guished and varied career in all three branches of the Civil Service, Colonial, Home and _In~ dian, and is still in the prime of life, having been born at Eskbank, Mid Lothian in 1882. Hev entered the Colonial Office in 1905, and acted as secretary of innumerable commissions before becoming Permanent Under Secretary of State. Home Office, in i922. For the next ten years he succeeded beyond measure in repressing post- war lawlessness, and in consequnoe, when sim- ilar disturbances and unrest broke out in Bengal. in 1932, he was selected as Governor of that province and was equally successful there is restoring tranquility.

As though the elements and world economic conditions were insufficient. some enterprising get rich quick artists have been attempting to batten on the farmers of Quebec. Charged by Provincial Police with being the leader of a conspiracy to defraud fanners through the sale of a special powder which was allegedly guar- anteed ‘to further the growth of crops, Louis Leary Bachand, 56, of 3984 Lafontaine Park. pleaded not guilty when he was arraigned be- fore Judge Gustave Peri-ault in Montreal. Crown Prosecutor Allard told the Court that ac- cording to the information obtained by the police Mr_ Bachand had defrauded farmers of Mon- treal, Three Rivers, Arthabaska, St. Maurice Valley and other districts, of between two and three thousand dollars through the sale of .his “special powder". Questioned by Judge Pei-- rault. Bachand admitted he had served a term in the penitentiary, and the Judge then fixed

Credulity and superstition still prevail in this up-to-the-minute world. For instance, at the Montreal Court of Sessions the other day, Jean Rossano, alias Rosen, (67) a fugitive from Devil's Island, French Guiana, was found guilty by Judge Jules Desmaritis of the theft of $2,500 from J. A. Chartrand, St. Martin, Que., hotel keeper. Mr. Chartrand first said that Rossano had stolen the money from-his strong-box but later admitted he had given the accused the money which the latter promised to double by means of a secret "powder". Mr. Chartrand said that he was told to place the money in a. package which Rossaiio held and after the special powder was sprinkled on it Romano told lilm to hide, it away overnight and that gilt would be
