A Lame Explanation

At long last, the Lea Government organ has, admitted that “a recent bond issue” of $500,000 was made, It states that “these bonds were sold under competition” but it does not deny The Guardian statement that no tenders were called locally, and that the deal was man- ipulated through a Toronto-Montreal syndicate. Why were local bond dealers excluded from tendering? Why was the public of this Prov- ince not advised and given an opportun- ity of purchasing the bonds? Why the secrecy attending the negotiations? According to Messrs. _ LEA. cAhfPBELL, LEPAGE, McIN-rvnu and other ‘-' leading Government members when in Oposi- tion, the bond dealers and buying public of this Province should be given first consideration when loans are made, “Had they been distrib- uted in Charlottetown, people in this Province might have handled them and m de some money, or our investors could have received the t, profit that has been made-by Ontario invest- T-_ ors.” That was Mr. LEA’s attitude at the last regular session oi the Legislature. Our con- temporary supported this contention, denoun- cing the Conservatives for allegedly borrowing “a huge amount through private negotiation with a Toronto firm without any proper compe-

Ttition and without giving the local bonding houses an opportunity to bid, or local invest- ors an opportunity to subscribe."

' This criticism was used extensively during the provincial election campaign, and had its effect. '

The full details of the Conservative bond issues (including the purpose for which they were floated) were given in the press. There was no “secret" negotiation" of any kind, and if a Toronto syndicate got the business it was bc- cause no finn local bids were obtainable. Is that the case at the present time? Our contemporary docs not venture to say so. It ventures very little in the way of explanation or excuse. It evidently believes that the less said about the matter the better. It was like drawing teeth to get even the bald admission that the issue had been floated. “The rest is silence."

Politics Indeed!

Instead pf complaining hypocritically about "playing politics" with the questions raised by the Medical Superintendent oi Falconwood at the annual meeting of the Children’s Aid Soci- ety, the Liberal press would be better advised to direct its criticisms to the Lea Government, which has shown the most callous disregard of everything but partisan politics in discharging competent nurses and other officials at Falcon- wood for no other reason than to give jobs to Liberal supporters.

Its. o\vn skirts are by no‘ means clean with regard to the contemptible pre-election campaign waged against the first real efforts made by any government in this Province to provide modern mental treatment at Falconwood. On both these subjects Dr. Murchison touched

plainly in his address last week, warning particularly against political interference.

It is to him, on this occasion, that the Lib- eral organ "woiild like to direct its venomous

_'abuse——if it dared!

Dr. Riddell Repudiated

-Fear of repercussions in Quebec is be- lieved to be responsible for the Government's move repudiating the action of Dr. A. W. Rm- DELL, Canadzfs permanent Canadian adviser to the League of Nations in proposing the addition of oil, iron, coal and steel to the list of goods barred to Italy.

Dr. RIDDELL made the motion a month ago,

~_but there was no intimation from the Govern- ment until last Sunday that in doing so he had overstepped the bounds oi prudent originality. " Mussouivl recently declared that an em- bargo on oil would be considered an "unfriend- ly act,” which was interpreted in authoritative .zquarters to mean that it would bring war-like reprisals, and as a result, it appears, the idea spread throughout Quebec that Canada was taking an active part in European political af- fairs and that this country was in danger of -;being involved in a conflict.

It was to remove this impression it seems, that the acting Prime Minister, Hon. ERNEST LAPOINTE, issued a statement explaining that Dr. RnmELL “represented only his personal op- inion and his views as a member of the sanc- tions committee and not the views of the Can- adian Government."

Geneva. _

Dr. RIDDELL has _for ten years been the permanent representative of this Dominion in the Assembly of the League. He was appoint- ed to that oflice by the former Mackenzie King Government in 1925, and has ever since repres- ented Canada in that position. His repudiation

i by the ‘new MackenzieKing Government raises interesting questions. The present administra- "tion states that it adheres to the fundamental

»- aim: and ideals of the League, but it draws back when its representative proposes practical new measures against Italy. V

"Of course you could get peace by a policy of complete iron-resistance. There might be oppressions and the end of free- dom and democracy, but there would not be war. Yet you will not follow that policy. “Our prob- lem therefore is not to discover the policy that would simply give us peace. Non-resistance would do that. Our problem is to discover what policy will give peace, subject to the condition of insuring its defense of rights and interests which may collide with the rights and interests of other nations in any part of the world.” His solution was: League of Nations; if Germany had known 22 nations would have opposed her, she never would have gone to war; Italy must be made to honour her signature, if the League is to be saved for peace. . as as nr , The Nova Scotia Government runs the‘ mine in Inverness, is the principal tax-payer, and practically the whole shooting match.
