Following is, the speech delivered b1’ Mr. A. F. Arsenault (Conservat- ive, Third Prince) in the Budget debate, Provincial Legislature, March 31. MrnArsenanlt followed Mr. H. H. Cox ill ‘the debate:

M1‘- slleaker: I presume, after hearing such eloquence from such a super-man as the hon. member who just sat down, that you would like to hear aifew words now from "tlle Olittlc fellow" to whom that gentle- man referred on more than one oc- casion. Let me __say. first of all, that we on this side of the House are somewhat disappointed with the present Government. We had ex- pected this year to hear some policy announced, some policy whicfwculd

and a half of its existence, only lu- creased the total liabilities of the Province by $29,000.

Now, Mr. Speaker, the Premier while in Opposition and as a sup- porter oi the Bell Government, fre- quently boasted that he could prove a deficit in three ways. It would be $50,000 one way, $100,000 another way, and $150,000 if taken a third and different way. Those of us who heard him on those occasions have learned to discount his figures. So far as the present financial situa- tion is concerned. I will ealchim t9’ refer to his own Public Accounts of 1920, at page 7. He will find there an increase of liability to the extent oi.’ $176,000. And, Mr. Speaker, those

figures are not Added correctly; By analyzing the figures we find that they were trying to total them in such a way as to show a surplus, and in doing so they showed a. glaring mistake in their addition. If the first page of their accounts cannot be

progressing favorably. But instead he has made confessions in this House, and he has shown by his Public Ac- . ‘counts ‘that this administration, after . having held office for two years and ' a few months, has proved a failure; a failure financially and a failure in policy. The people today, throughout the length and breadth of this Prov- ince, are astonished to find such a barren Legislature. Nothing has been - given to them; nothing promised; no hope held out as to the future. The last speaker, and agood many others on the same side, have dis-

added accurately, how are the peo- ple going to study those accounts and find them correct, or even un- derstand them? Hidden here, there and everywhere are certain items which must be taken into account, and it would be difficult enough for any one to discover the true finan- cial standing without themselves making such a bungle. It would be far better for them to aell thlt 8110i- piough and buy an adding machine. (Applause). At least, they could hardly succeed in making an adding

lf we look again at page '1 of the Public Accounts, part 1, we find that, the total expenditure was $1,069,054, to which niust ‘be added the~$16,320 which is placed there at the bottom ‘ of the page as appropriation for cr- dinary debentures. That money was expended. and it is as ‘much an ex- penditure as any other item on the page. So we have a total expendit- = ure of $1,086,274. From that we de- duct the ordinary revenue as given on page s of $840,220, and we have ‘a deficit for list year of $20,000. Their own books show it, m.
