‘The Strongest the

Taking The Plunge

It is not altogether a surprise that the Camp- bell Government have called an election f0!‘ lllﬁ middle of next month. Rumors to this effect have been in circulation for some d3,“- “ml {*5 it turns out the Conservatives have begun their organization arrangements none too soon The question on e\'er_\"botl_v's lips is. why this dras- tic dt-terininaticin to go ti» Illfr 611111117.“ lull." a year before constitutionally nccessapv 21nd in IlW midst of planting? Needless to say the explan- ation given by the Premier is not the reason, but merely the excuse. _ _

It has ln-vn currently reimrtcrl tor sllnlctlnll? that the tfwifflllllldll lull got so invulverl fin- ancially that there was no way out except an appealito the electorate with the hope and ex- pectation that they would be defeated, 0r alter- nately, get a llf“.\' tnaiulate that would enable them to float itirtht-r loans and carry on for an additional five years. Hut we are very much mistaken if they succeed in fooling the elec- torate a second time. \\'e have had practically four years of dictatorial administration in which the cost of government has soared to previously unknown heights, and the service generally gone to pigs and whistles, the dictatorship be- ing supplemented by a bureaucracy unanswer- able to the taxpayers. Economy has been a word practically unknown in the Campbell Government vocabulary, borrow and spend, spend and borrow, being the watch words of the administration ever since the first special lession called for the purpose.

Our readers may readily realize the dreadful undisclosed financial straits of a Government which would upset the Province by a spring election on the very eve, too, of the first visit of the King and Queen to the Province. If the necessity were not imperative, were the misfits not driven to this last resource by a hidden hand, the industrious, loyal and law-abiding citizens may be assured the legislature would have been allowed to run its natural course. As it is, the farmers are to be compelled to devote time and attention to a Provincial election in May, and in all probability a Federal election in August or October, besides having to participate in the Royal and patriotic welcome to our beloved King and Qn-en in June, and to take part in the Confederation anniversary celebration in ,_l1_1ly_ In other words, the people of the Province ire expected in May, June, July and Auguat or October, to depart from their ordinary ways of life to participate in extraordinary happenings, one of which, the Provincial election, has been unnecessarily and callously thrust upon them by I. Government which has proved itself in- competent, inconsiderate and even blase in its discharge of its legislative and administrative duties. It is taking the plunge now, and judging by the feeling expressed throughout the Prov- ince, if will be a deliberate case of felo de re.

First And Foremost

Several Liberal members who participated it the so-callcd debate on the Budget implied that they had given no binding promises to their constituents. Not one of them undertook to re-

ifview the Liberal Platform and Manifesto, 1935, i which contain sixteen specific pledges to which every Liberal candidate subscribed.

“The Liberal Manifesto Presented to the

4 Electors of Prince Edward Island” was pub- .

,lishcd in the Liberal organ on July 5, 1935. It lpmfessed to be “the Provincial Platform Am- iiplified and Explained by Mr. Thane A. Camp- Tbell, K. c, M. P. 11., Provincial Campaign gLeader," dealing with the “Policies on which glthc Liberal Party Expect to Achieve a Sweep- ying Victory."

“Our Platform is introduced," says the Mani- ifcsto, "by Plank No. 1 which proposes a ‘re- . rillclion of rxv/irutli/itri‘ Illftfliflfllf to balance flu‘

' {fHudgt-l tnmmzllgv."' (‘ompatrativc statements of

ECXPHNlJIlJFCS tinder both parties are given, but

a only in respect to the three full years of each gadministration. In this period, it is stated, there . was an increase in ordinary revenue under the

'1. Conservatives, plus tincrnployment grants from ElOttawa which should have enabled the Mac- Millan Government “to make large savings by being permitted to use Federal relief money for the construction and repair of bridges and other I public works," and to show "a magnificent {surplus over all expenditures.” It expressed ‘ ‘alarm that the total debt was increased by

» " $927,212 and pledged the Liberal party to re-

verse this condition by making such reductions a to would "bring about a balanced budget and restore a condition of sound financing and con-

WSince thgt asaurance was given and accept- .by the people, the ordinary revenue of- the- nce ha}: increased by half 11 million dollars;

the total debt has inbreasctlby oyer two. million- (not counting bank overdraft and out-

‘tivea, it was clnrgcd, had created “new port- folios and new offices, carrying substantial sal- aries for thunselver and their friends.” The affair: of administration, could be "mrried on just as efficiently" by abolishing many offices and by “combining or reducing the number of officials previously employed." The Liberal Government. if returned to power, “will under- take such reorpnization a may be possible to bring about substantial ecmomies in this re- spect." .

Results as shown by the Comparative Statis- tics tabled this year: General Government Ex- penditures 1934, $96,502; General Government Expenditures 1938, $118,387.

We shall return later to some of the other pledges in the Liberal Platform and Manifesto. The first two were evidently regarded as of most importance, and were given preeedmqg ‘and special emphasis in the campaign. Accord- ing to at least one Liberal member, they were the only planks worth a hoot in the 1935 cam- paign,-—-the only ones that elected them to power. -

\\'e therefore submit them as Exhibit “A" in the case of the People vs. the Campbell Gov- ernrnent, which comes up for trial and judg- ment on .\lay 18.

Admitted to Canada as physicians and surgeons, l dozen medical men who fled from Germany and Austria because of Nazi terrorism are trying hard,. so far without success, to get permission to earn their living in Canada. Some of them brilliant and all outstanding in their fields, the doctors are unable to fulfil regu- lations regarding the practice of medicine in Can- ada. To do this it is necessary for all doctors to get license from the Medical Council of Canada, after taking examination. All candidates how- ever, must have an “enabling certificate" granlv ed by one of the nine provincial medical bodies, before presenting themselves, and so far not one of the dozen refugee doctors has succeeded in obtaining an enabling certificate, without which the Dominion body is powerless to let a can- didate sit for the tests.

Other parts of the Empire are taking as there motto “Be Prepared." Intensive programme of food production throughout Ceylon, including increased paddy cultivation in the dry areas, is likely to be launched as a precaution against a possible war. It is proposed that the Food Con- troller should create surplus stocks of imported rice stifficient to last for two months and that the Minister of Agriculture and Lands should increase internal food production so that Ceylon may be self-sufficient. These proposals are the outcome of a conference at Queen's House, Colombo, when the Governor met the Naval Commnader- in-Chief of the East Indies, the Board of Min- isters and officials. The official view is that in war regular supplies of rice from Burma cannot be guaranteed as regular shipping facilities may not be available and guarding the trade route be- tween Burma aitd Ceylon against enemy, aub- marines will not betheionly taslcthat His Maj- esty's ships will have to undertake in these wat- ers.
