5r. MacMillan Discusses Issues In By-election

_ hops Premier Jcnes does not valueJm-“wd ‘m5 i" 5" V”? n“ m

rollowing is the text oi m. ad- iirus delivered last evening by Hon. Dr. W.J.P. MaoMillm O B E Provincial leader oi the Progressive conservative Party and leader o! the Opposition in the legislature.

"m tho electors oi the Secon-i District ni Prince County:

"A very unnecessary by election hssbeellcalled inyourdisttict by the Provincial Political Dictator for use 11th oi this month. This seat '35 made vacant by thedeathot 11w late Hon. W. H. Dermla. The Progressive Conservative party de- plore the loss to this Province o! M; Dennis. the Dean 0i.’ the Iiegis- lalure, amd one o! the stalwarts o! old and true Liberalism. whose traditions and policies and prhclp- les have been be-nmirched and icr-

wtim by Premier Jones and the again

remainder oi the Government. which means Hon. Win. l-Iughes. Provincial Treasurer. who has re- duced Budget speeches to all ab- surdity. .

" e late Ma‘. Dennis. with all his political eitfleriense. was sig nally slighted and ignored by hi5 awn ty until the Hon T. A. Carri ll made him Minister o! Agriculture. Tnls was soon changed. when lion. J. W Jones was-form- ing his Government. he threw Mr Dornis out and took the Agricul- tural portiolio himseli. Whilc hold- jng it, he took very slight in- icrcst in it and then threw the Agriculturalists out. by leaving the Department 0.! Agriculture to some- one else. I will leave it to the judg- ment oi the Ehrlnars which Redil" did the best work, that oi Ml- Dennis, or his two‘ successors.‘ Messrs. Jones and Stewart Let the figures talk ior themselves -- last year, out oi a total expenditure oi $3.600.000.00. something over Ili- 000 was sperlt on agriculture — a 1.1119 part oi it in salaries-and the Premier says that to spend any more money on iarmers would be wasting it. unless he could B’?! X110" so called techlnlcal Specialists. High salaries is his idea oi service.

Why Not Attorney General?

The Second District is re resent- od by Hon. Mr. Barbour, Mir-later of Public Works. So monv wool-lie argue that this by-elcetitn is wholly unr-accssary. and esptclallv when the Attorney Genera! is no: a. candldstc. 1t is a Xurther useless expenditure oi public motley. and we all realise w-a have so mlcctey to spare, let. alone waste. Ii there was to be a lav-election- WYW 1a i1 that the Attorney 9mm" “i” certainly should be a member o! the House. was not the Llaeral Can- didate. I wonder is it true thfit mgmibers or the Govsnnment d mt want Mr. M110 i" I?‘ a chance. and even worked asainci his bid for nomination. Oh. what

This is one oi the principle lesson. 111 this

people are leaving the iarrrs. Government policy is surely driving them oi! the ianns. because it is strangling Agriculture. 'i‘he great- ut (actor ln Agriculture is trans- portation, and what a mess this Prvrvlnce is in. Lock un the tiles oi newspapers and read the aosurd accounts oi ..he continuous arxl worthless Provincial Government pllgrimages- Ottawa. and what Premier Jones ar-zl many others told us about thLs new boat, and when lt would be in operation. It ls a long time since Senator Mkclntyre walked on the keel oi the new boat - probsbly it did not stand the strain o! a heavyweight and it must have been permanently disorgaruzed.

Fnther Delay

"The latest and greatest discour- cg news comes irom the ilrlrr cons ructing the ‘boat and it is we won't have the heat ioi- this ialrs shipping. and there is grave doubt about next Fail also, and so the Xarmcrs will lose according Premier ‘Jones’ calculations about a million dollars this year and again mxt year. This terribe tax has been fiaid yearly by our Fm‘- rners and iue to the unJust and wanton neglect oi the Federal Government in not building a boat sites- ours was lost. A new boat at that time was a war necessity. needed to supply the itiilitaly needs oi the Ar-ports and Military establishments -.n this Province. in stead oi using our old overbur- dened boat. which could not amy way transport our Atmclutuml products. so. ror slz or seven years, our isrlners. already taxed to tile limit and curtailed and hampered in every way by Government onu- trols and handicaps. are l/lulcted out their hard earned money to the extent 0.! nearly a million dollars yearly, and, through it all we have nothing but bluii. evasion and deceit ironi- the Fed- eral Government, and supported by silly. erroneous and weak allbies bv Provincial Government spokes- men.

"The war years will long be re- membered in this l-‘a-ovince for two things: The Island's premier place among the Provinces ior men. money a-nd Red Cross support, and. secondly. lur the worst ln- u to our farmers through Governmental nqilect and evasion.

Dtluostlonsl Standards

“Our people in PEI. are great- ly interested in education andwc must deplore the rapid decline oi educational standards unde: the Jones Government a/nd the general demorslization and impending collapse oi our enersl school lys- tem. It is a t le drop irom the 30 consolidated schools proposed a year or so ago ‘.0 our schools. at the present taught. immsny in- stances. by school children

pmmlelassure him we will do everything

in our power to assist him to carry out. the responsibilities oi his high oiiice.

Preference To Veterans

“This convention desires to ex- tend its thanks to the Provincial Legislature ior passing a res- olution at its last. session estab- lishing the principle that preb. erences be given to err-service‘ men and women when appoint-I clients were being made in thei Government service.

“This Convention. however. sa- grets that the Provincial Gov- eminent is not carrying out unel. directions given by the elected representatives. Appointments have‘ since been made where the pretb, GIEIYCB 10L‘ fiX-lSéfVltlfl H1611 and women has been completely ig- nored ano the Lfigion has had no request “whatever for a nominee ol- nominees lo till any such vac- ancies or new positions.

"That the Federal Government be urged to construct a marine slip or ship Railway in Char- lotietown where repairs can be‘ made to the manv chips engaged] in trade in our waters.

Priority For Coal Bhlpmaants

“Whereas the Canadian Legion has requested (or a nucnlber oi years that priority be given ior the shipment oi coal to this Prov- ince. I

“And whereas no results have come irom these requests and the situation this year would appear to he more serious than ever.

"Tliereiore be it resolved that the (xnadlan Legion again re-l quest that priority be given tor‘ ‘the shipment oi coal to this Prov- nce. l

Canadian Flag

“Whereas. the Canadian Leg- ion. has ior years demanded that should it be decided that a dia- UILCUVC Flag is required ior Can- ada ior certain purposes. that such Flair should include in a. prominent position the Union Jack. under which, we have lived. and iought and ior which thou-l sands oi our comrades laid down‘ their lives.

The. argument that there is no time icr teaching in school hour: was just as strong in years one by but real teachers luld am- itious stud- ents spent many an hour liter ru- gular school hours and those well-spent hours made a success o! many an Island student's life. The idea oi teaching students Lat- in by oorres ndence .’s a ver weak slllbl m. mnsl. illogical and am sorry that time will record its complete iailure.

“Zn this byewlection, our veter- ans will havs a chance to vote and no thanks to the Provincial Gov- ornllnent, the only Government that I know oi. that dls-iranciliaed its own soldiers in time oi war. Yes. our boys were good enough lo tight, and dis gloriously that the and civiliasflon an‘. Christianity might survive. but. lu the iudgscnent ot the Liberal Gov- ernment oi P.E.I., were not good enough to vote. What about hos- giltallzation oi’ veterans in Canada?
