set; cf ‘the former Prov:- gr iikltlflflhl tliu i i»

g- which the Mduntcd Pdlice cam: here. Before thc transaction was entered filto with the Dominion Qasernmgntwthls Government had recommendations that it should be dime. Some hon. members on the other Sld0 of the House were among those who recommended the change.

Mr. '1‘. A. Campbell: "l rise to a point cf order. lf my hon. friend refers to me, my recommendation wag not that it should be done, but that it should be taken under ser- ious consideration."

Hon. Mr. ldacl-‘hee: “I do not know how you can more seriously consider a thing than to carry it to a point oi accomplishment. (Ap- plause). My hon. friend from the First District of Prince hm been frank enough to confess that he was a party to those recommenda- tions. Perhaps some other members will be frank enough to confess that they also recommended it, while the matter was being serr loiasly considered by this (lovem- ment. (Applause).

(The Opposition members did not reply).

It. C. M. P. Appointments

The agreement made with the Dominion Government, Mr. Mac- Phee continued. was that the mem- bers of the local force should, where possible, be taken into the R. C. M. P. lt was, of course, im- posslble, and would have been highly improper, for this Govern- ment to dictate to the senior cf- flcers of the H.C.M.P. as to wheth- er or not this individual or that should be taken. The Mounted Police have their own standards of fitnes and efllciency, and in se- lecting personnel within their ranks, naturally they apply their Om experience. They did, however, select a. number of local men as members of the force. w. George Barbour was oflered one of the senior positions but he rejected it, possibly because it was not "the" senior position. He may have been Justified in considering that the ofler was not good enough. That was a matter with which this -Govcrnmcnt had nothing to do. Other local men also refused to accept the posts offered them. They may have considered that the Dominion-wide organisa- tion was a disciplined force, that removal to other provinces for necessary training to qualify under thc R. C. M. P. standards would in- convenience tilt-m. At any ratc, while some refused_ s number of local officers of the Provincial Po- lice were taken on, with the train- ing they had already received, it is reasonable tc suppose that they would gain in efficiency under the Mounted Police, whose reputation in this regard has been established on a Dominion-wide basis.

Undo;- thc former administration. continued Mr. McPhcc, there were inland revenue offifrrrs. provincial police. and latterly officers mec- lally cilargcd wlfli enforcing thc prohibition 18W. Others wcrc em- ployed to enforce the Oarnc Act, ctc. All these various duties are now curried on by thc Royal Can- adian Mounted Police.

Thc cx-Minlstcr of Public Works had referred to the efficiency with which the former inland rrrcnue officers-til» prrvr-iilalive force- liail performed their ditty. What. pill-post‘. afizccl Mr. lfncPhw. vat‘ the pl'.'“.'(‘ill8ll\'(‘ organization dc- SlgflPd to sci-vi‘? lt was to prcvert goods coming into this Province illegally. Yet according to the ex- Nflnistcr‘: contention, the Com- mission warehouse under Liberal regime was flooded with liquor il- legally importid. which had been sccwri by thc prohibition officers.

Mr. Mclntyrva Admission

"I am not. trying to suggest.‘ said Mr. hZcPlicc, "as my hon. friend does ill the case of the Mounted Police, that the foriiicr preventa- tive OIfACPFS fell down on the Job bzcause they were afraid to g0 out. and soil their clothes. l do not think he seriously meant that, either. But their job was to pre~ vent the illegal importation of li- quor into this Province; and m an instance of how well they did their work_ he rpok’: of the Commission warehouse being flooded with ille- gal lqucr, and said that the other arm of the service-charged with protfibition enforcement-could go out and get increasing quantities of liquor. In othcr words, he showed conclusively that under the Liberal regime the preventative force, for some reason or other, were unable to ‘prevent’ or to keep liquor com- ing in illegally in such quantities that it flooded the warehouse of the Prohibition Commission." (Ap- plauae.)

“Continuing, llr. MePhae pointed out that the aim of the Prohibi-

1. a

plause). My hon. friend appears to have a wruigcouwptioncl the pur- pose of the afillnbtration of lil- ticw. The real purpose ia not t0 punish offenses, but to prevent the ccuimisslog o; cloncza. The idea, prunarly, i. not to catch people the law, but to see that

the law b not broken. We would expect, therefore. that this Prohi- bition law, which was an article of faith with thc Liberal party in 1827, would effect a great better- ment of conditions when my lion. friends cams into power. We would expect that there would be lass liquor found in illegal possession. and fewer offences committed under the Act. The ex-llinister has answered that quutim. Be‘has shown that in it?! they had ll'l convictions and collected in fines $17,990. and that in 1730 there were 3M convictions and tram collect- cd in tines. The situation, so far as the amount of illegal liquor and number of persons guilty of violat- ing the law were concerned, was growing steadily worse." Mr. McIntyre: "They were not gone after under the previous gov- ernment. We were getting after the offenders." Mr. Lee: "That is a proof of en- fcrcemwt."

Hon. Mr. MacPhee: ‘The question is where did this liquor come from? It was not liquor legally imported into the Province. This preventa- tive force. of which my lion friend sneaks, allowed it to come in. so we have on one hand the record of prohibition enforcement showing a steady increase in number of law infractions, a steadily increasing amount of liquor available for seis- llri‘. and a steadily increasing boot~ leg fraternity to pay lngrgqggd flnes. And on the other hand we flnd_ as to the preventative service. a steady pouring in of liquor il- legally into the vOVIDCQ. reflected in the prohibition convictions, and in the full storage waralwugeg, Thst is the condition we flnd with regard to prohibition enforeeme during those years of Liberal ad- ministration." (Applause).

Mr. MzwPhcei Challenge

Mr. '1‘. A. Campbell: "It does not get to the warehouse now."

Hon. Mr. MpcPhee: "It is, cf course, useless for a member of this House to get up and say that coal dition; now are terrible. It is equal- ly useless for me to get up and ray that things are better than they have ever been. That is just my statement against yours. But I would suggest, if my hcn. friends are sin- cere, if they sincerely want to know whether or not. the Mounted Pc- lice are enforcing Prohibition bet- ter than thetr officers enforced it- if they want to atop making politi- cal speeches and let down to real facts-let them go and ask the bootlaggersl My hon. friend from Rustico (Mr. LePage) will say he cannot do that because he does not associate with bootleggers. But. my hon. friend from the First District of Prince (Mr. Campbell) may sometimes associate with them in his legal capacity; and l would suggest that the members of the Opposition delegate the honourable member from First Prince as a committee to wait upon thc boot- lcggers, and I have no hesitation in making the prophecy that the boctleggers will candidly admit that the Mounted Police have practically put them out of busi- iicss." (lsoud applause).

Political Targets

In Nova Bcotia. Mr. MacPhee continued, the Liberals had cam- paigiicd against the Mounted Pc- lice in order to strike at the then Coiucrvative government. “I fear-f he added "that in criticising the Mounted Police my own friends are really attempting to discredit this Government. Now we may ex- pect to be hit at. Aa membe a of the Government we accept that as part of the game, But I deeply re- gret that a police organization that is serving thfs Province with so much devotion as the RCMP. is doing should, without any fault of its own. be made a target for criticism which is intended for this Government." (Applause).

Mr. Iefage‘: Appointee

Mr. T. A. Campbell: "It was all right to criticise the Provincial Po- lice."

Hon. Kr. McPhee: "l have some- thing to say about that. The hon. member from Ruatico told ua a good many things about the Pro- vincial Ponce. Ind if I recollect his remarks correctly he maintained that force was a real temperance organization and that they. had only temperance men enforcing the law. The member harmsdc that statement so often and has refer- red with such an odor of sanctity to the almost perfect moral char- acter of the force in this regard that 1 am salami-ode something which l hesitate to do.

Continuing, Mr. McPhee that in i927 the Conservatives went to the country in frankness and sincerity. They told the people exactly what they purposed to do. The Liberals went to the country and told the people what they were going to do. They were going tc

the Prohibition Law-to make the Province, as their party press ar- mrvd the iwcoolc-"ss dry a.» the Sahara." (Applause).

The position of the_prrsent gov- cmmcnt. Mr. McPhee. declared, was plsln. Whatever the personal opinions or its members may have bcen_ they accepted the decision of the people on the Prohibition ques- tion and they regard it as their duty to enforce this law, as well as every law on the statute books, without fear or favor.

"We do not submit for one mo- ment," Mr. McPhee continued. "that we can give 100 per cent eh- forcement of this law, because the people do not want. it. The hcn. members on the other side of the House know that lust as well as we do."

Mr. McPhee referred to the vil- liflcation and abuse that heaped on the Conservative can-

cause they had frankly told the people cf the difficulties of obtain- ing prohibition enf nt. the Conservative again charged with the task of en- forcing this law, and the Opposi- tion members say: “Look at the position they are in. After telling the people that it could not be en- forced. Now they have to do it."-

Voice of the Public '

"That," slid It. McPhee, "lg pre- fillf-‘ly the sltlktibn. The people, after four yeari of their failure to accomplish what they solemnly promised to do, have had toplace the matter in the hands of a Gov-

take them entirely into its confid- once.‘ (Applause).

‘ Mr. McPliee next replied to the statement made by the member from first Prince (Mr. 'I‘. A. Camp- bell) that the present feeling of “security” in the matter of law enforcement iii this Province is too great. The opposite feeling to se- curity ls “in-ccurihv" and It was this feeling that the Opposition member had sugguted would he a more encouraging sign of law on. fbrcement.
