Mr. Price reviewed the entire political set-up and stated that the County of Prince was the forgotten County of Prince. He reviewed varlous issues and outlined the platform of his party.

liberal Meeting Al Tyne Valley

A large enthusiastic gathering greeted Mr.- J. Watson McNaught, K.C., Liberal candidate for Prince County at a meeting held in Tyne Valley on Friday evening, June 10th.

The first speaker on the program was Mr. Forrest W. Phillips. M.L.A. who dealt at some length with the prosperous conditions that have ex- isted during Liberal administra- tions, corresponding periods of de- pression under Conservative Gov- ernmcnt. He pointed out that at the Present time Canada was en- J0ylng the highest level of pros- perity known in her history. He scored the Conservative slogan, "It ls Time for a Change", by suggest- ing that if any business firm had in its employ a manager under whom the business of the company had larlzely increased, yet under Tory propaganda that was the time to fire him.

The next speaker was Mr. Wal- ter E. Darby, K.C., of Summerside who dealt with the Conservative claims to be the champions of Pro- vlnclal rights. He, challenged the insincerity of Hon. George Drew under whose proposals at the Do- minion-Provllncial Conference the Province would have received the small sum of $1,200,000 in lieu of our income taxes and succession duties. whereas the agreement eventually reached with the Liberal Government amounts to nearly $2.- 700.000.00 a year. This additional money had been available tn the Province to provide social and oth- er services reasonably comparable with that obtained by other Prov- inces of Canada. Otherwise, he. said, we would have had $1,500,000 less each year to build our roads, to develop our educational stand- ards, to promote our public health program and generally to lock after the interests of the people of this Province.

The last speaker was Mr, J. Wat- son MacNaught, K.C., the Liberal candidate, who in an able address reviewed the issues before the elec- tors at this time. He, emphasized the qualities of leadership shblvn by the Prime Minister. the suc- cessful administration of public affairs of the Liberal Government during the war and in the postwar period and the complete lack of any constructive program offered

imitation of Liberal policies.

He also scored the insincerlty of the Conservative opposition in Par- liament to all measures of Social Security designed for the benefit cf the common people. including old age pensions and children's allo\v- ances and yet they are making ex- aggerated promises incapable of fulfillment. in order to attract, as they vainly hope, the support of the electorate.
