51ml." he added, “is by the methods em- ployed by the business man, of finding fur- ther outlets for the activities of those who. would be employed. Increase in our export trade alone, when domestically we consume 8O per cent of our own production, is not enoughto ab- sorb our employable unemployed and those who come on the labour market every year.”

Mr. Massey reminded the Government that it had come into power on the promise to better the lot of the man in the street. Yet it had con- tinued to deal with conditions as emergencies, and had taken not one step toward permeuent solution of the problem. It had provided only palliatives in the form of casual employmmt.

Canada, he pointed out, had operated for three years under the last trade treaty with the United States. The net result was a reduction of r9,00o in unemployment, or four per cent. The favorable balance of trade disappeared and imports had increased to the extent of $63, ,- 000 in wages to American workmen.

Mr. Massey also recalled the Liberal election pledge to establish a National Employment Com- mission. The commission had been set up, but its recommendations had largely been ignored by the Government. The report, to all intents and purposes, had become a dead letter. The ex- cuse advanced by the Government was that they could not obtain provincial cooperation, and this breakdown of the vaunted harmony between the Dominion and the provinces was described by Mr. Masscy as "one of the greatest tragedies of the present administration." He was not in- terested in the family quarrels of the Liberal party, but unfortunately it was the tax-

Preparing For Action

As announced in the advertising columns, ar- rangements have been made for the holding of Conservative conventions throughout the Pro- vince at an early date, in anticipation of a mid- May provincial general election, of which there are persistent and seemingly authoritative rumors.

In explaining the situation at Monday's meet- ing in Charlottetown, Hon. Dr. MacMillan said this course had been decided upon by the ex- ecutive of the Provincial Conservative Associa- Eion. Candidates have already been nominated in three districts —Second, Third, and Fifth Queens, and there remain twelve district con- ventions to be called. The dates for all but the First and Second Districts of Prince have been

let, and these will be arranged within the next few days. The first convention date advertised is that of Fouth Kings, which is to be held on April 24.

In view of the circumstances and the impos- ribility of ascertaining definitely the Govern- mom's intention, preparedness is absolutely ne- cessary and there will be nothing but approval of the Provincial Conservative Association's prompt action in calling conventions. Should the early election not materialize, the candidates will have that much longer to complete their organization work. In any event, the electors may be assured that the Conservative party will be in fighting form when it takes the field, with loyal support from every district under Hon. Dr. MacMillan.

____€________. Who Was Responsible‘?

One of the claims advanced by Mr. Dougald MacKinnon in the Budget debate in the Legislature was that the Conservative leader, when in office, had misrepresented our con- dition as being “prosperous" at Ottawa, “thus

Payers Who were paying the piper, and the un- employed who were suffering by this failure to show leadership at Ottawa. The Govern- ment was urged to “forsake the charms of lethargy and to accept the challenge issued to it by every citizen of Canada to give our country the courageous leadership it so sorely needs."

Provinces, was instrumental in getting $150,000 annual additional subsidy from Ottawa for all time to come. This award, in part implementing the Duncan Commission report of I926, could more easily have been obtained under the Saunders-Lea Government, when conditions were more prosperous and money was being squandered right and left at Ottawa on all kinds of political projects. But our fiscal needs found no champions until the Conservatives got back into power. It will be recalled too, that in the 1935 elec- tion the Conservative platfonn embodied the promise to press for further realization of our subsidy claims on the basis of the minority re- port of the White Commission. The Liberal policy was that we had no fiscal needs -—that we could balance our budget without additional aid from Ottawa, without any taxation increase or curtailment of any necessary public service. The presentation of the Campbell Government before the Rowcll Commission last year repre- sented a complete right-about-face on this issue, but in the meantime there is no doubt‘ that its misleading election propaganda did serious in- jury to this Province at Ottawa. 1f Mr. Dougald MacKinnon had said this propaganda, to which he himself was a party, had made it “hard for the leader of this Government to get any sympathy or aid from that source" he would probably have been within the mark.

A Strong Indictment

There will be strong indorsation from every part of Canada of the straightforward com- ments of Mr. Denton Massey on the unemploy- ment situation and the Dominion Government's responsibility therefor. In a four hour speech —the longest that has been made in the House of Commons in two sessions —Mr. Massey re- viewed thoroughly the Government's record in this regard. Among other things he presented a table of figures compiled by the Bureau of ﬁtatistics, showing that, during the last two years of the previous administration, unemploy- Jnent. decreased by 32.8 per cent, whereas the

offered, does not leave the Legislature a leg to stand upon. The sad commentory is that the At- torney-General, whose duty it was, failed to present such a convincing case as to obtain a ver- dict. The explanation is, of course, he was play- ing politics not legislation at the time.

l i i

Now the National Conservatives have entered the political fight in earnest, the Provincial election can come when it may. In Messrs. Turner and MacDougall the Conservatives have got live wires at their head who will make their presence felt. Organization necessities will take up their time for the most part, and it is good organization, or the lack of it, that makes or breaks parties. n- : t:

The Liberals were in Provincial power for two generation in Quebec, and persistently re- sisted all attempts to introduce female suffrage. Now that they are out in the cold, Rt. Hon. Mr. Lapointe promises the women the vote “as soon as the Liberal party is in power." Of course. the women having the Federal Vote necessitates Mr. Lapointe making such a declaration on the eve of a Federal election. ,
