Jul lsv-No announce- ments were e following today's late afternoon Cabinet Council which wee devoted almost entirely to further dlscussio of the Japan- ese trade problem. ‘It wss lesrncd, however, the Prime Minister B. B.

To remove the dumping duty against Japanese goods end not do the same for other countries with a. deprecisted currency, would be discrimination lgdinlt other favored nations. To remove them all would be to radically depart from a system in effect for years. Failure to placate Japan would result in the loss of only n few Inillion dollars in trade but British Oolumbla would bear slmost the entire lose.

Mr. A. E. MabLean, M. P., in predicting that the Bennett Government would not pay the subsidy increase obtained by_ the MacMiilan Government last year in co- operation with the other Maritime Provinces, proved a poor prophet. The Premier had that day received a cheque for $75,000,_representing one-half of this year's increase under the White Commission award.

But. Mr. MacLean was not the only poor prophet in the Liberal party. Mr. Thane Campbell, Liberal campaign leader, was equally at sea. He maintained in the Legis- lature last session that this increase was the “final result” of our claims presentation, We quote from the debate which followed :

Premier MacMllIan: “I suppose my hon. friend would like to go back to 1907 when Sir Wilfrid Laurier wantedto insert in the agreement that. the adjustment made at that time would be final and unalterabie. I do not take that stand, and I perfectly agree with my hon. friends, the Premiers of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. and say that this IS NOT FINAL; BE- CAUSE WE D0 NOT CONSIDER WE HAVE RECEIVED ENOUGH. We have done some fighting and have made some progress, we have got payment on account to the extent of $3,000,000, but we do not accept it as final payment.” '

Mr. Thane Campbell: “If my hon. friend doesn't accept it as final, HE DOESN'T GET IT, That was the Commlssioms findings.”

Premier MacMillan: “We will take it all right. But not as a flnal settlement.”

WHO WAS RIGHT ? The MacMillan Government has never ceased protesting against final acceptance of the majority award of the White Commission. Yet they have received one-half of this year's payment under that award, and will receive the other half before the year expires.

Why did Mr. Campbell say, “that was the Commlssion’s findings"? He knew that the Maritime representative on the Commission, Chief Justice Mathieson, had tiled a report LEAVING OPEN THE DOOR FOR FURTHER PRESENTATION ON THE BASIS OF FISCAL NEED. The three Maritime Provinces have hailed this recommen- dation as being of THE GREATEST IMPORTANCE.

WHY DID MR. CAMPBELL IGNORE IT ‘l

The reason is obvious enough. His party's fallurc to co-operete with the Premiere of Nova Scoiia and New Brunswick, is known to every elector. They can promise nothing in ihle connection that will not be treated with scorn end contempt. SUBSIDY CLAIMS T0 THE AMOUNT OF 87500.0(”.

“The late Liberal Guvemment during its four year term of office spent for gravel an amount equiv- alent to what this province will pay as its share of the Borden highway," Hon. G. Shelton Sharp, Minister of Public Works, stated, to lhc acc mpaniment of enthush, astic applause at the meeting at Kelly's Cross. First Queen's, lust. night. ‘

Under the Liberal Government] 8366.170 were spent for gravel, al- most all of which was taken from Nova. Scotia. Today practically nothing remains to be seen of the gravel, which was charged to cup- lial account. Hon. Mr. Sharp point- I ed out. *

He was speaking on behalf- of the Conservative candidates; Messrs. Thomas Wigmore and L.‘ T. Beaten, Mr, Wigmore was not present as he had been called home earlier in the evening, as one of his children was stricken with acute appendicitis.

Mr. L. P. Tanton spoke in place of Mr. Wigmore- Mr. J. P. McIn- t-yrc spoke on behalf oi the Liberal candidates, Messrs, W. F. Alan Stewart. and D. N. MacKay. The Conservative candidates were most enthusiastically received, being greeted with round after round of applause.
