Oni or three occasions l have touch- on it briefly, but it would appear very few, if any, of our citizensl given it much thought or studyi, first attempt was in the year 1925 5 the Maritime Coiifcrciicc which' held in Charlottetown to prepare l case of the Maritimes to go be- § the All-Canada Boards of Trade I renee at Winnipeg the same' The subject given me on that 1 was-“The Economic Status

Edward Island had never been fairly treated in the matter of transporta- tion by either Liberal or Conserva- tive Governri-ierits: and that it was not a matter oi’ cost, but a matter of honour between the Dominion of Can- ada and Prince Edward Island.” That statement started me thinking and seeking information on the Mari- time Status ounder the Confederation Pact. On several occasions later on, while attending Maritime Conferences of the Boards of Trade, it was brought home to me, the very serious econ- omic ,conditions that`prevall_ed__in the other Maritime Provinces, as a result of the many dlscriminations exist- ing. It was dlfllcult to understand how such a stain of affairs could be tolerated under a. partnership agree- ment. It seemed, however, to be the uuonimoiis opinion of those attending the Conferences that too much at-

iin ine Maritimes, and that matters :of the most vital importance to these

lprovinces were being side-tracked or lallowed to go by default, either from

,lack of a loyal Maritime spirit or as ,u result of too great party allegiance. `Fortunat~ely for these Provinces, and perhaps the rest of the Dominion, a

‘number of leading business men. ‘through the Boards of Trade,`awak- ened ln time to the seriousness of the situation. and with co-operative ef- fort, iiidzpeiident of politics, follow- icd np consistently the claims of the Maritimes. In due course with the assistance of a capable Traffic Ex- pert, it was possible to prove conclu- sively the many dlscriminations that

'existed and were throttling and un- ldermliiing our industrial and econ- omic life, as well as encouraging or compelling our young people to emi- ,grate and secl; employment else- where. At this stage, with the evi- zdsnce on hand, we were able to eri- iiist the co-operation of the leading ‘Boards of Trade of the Dominion from Montreal to Vancouver.

FREDERICTON,, N. B., Feb. 21.-

"The industrial expansion consequent upon these constructions will exceed that of any period in the history of the province," said the speech from the throne which Major-General me 1-ioli.'Hugh H. MCI./Ban, K. C, V. D., Lieut.-Governor, referring to the

construction of new pulp and pam

l

mills, now underway and about to undertaken at Dalhousie, Athoil and on the Miramichi. this afternoon opened the fourth session of the 16 New Brunswick Legislature since Confederation.

Referring to the establishment at

Toronto of a Maritime trade coin- inissioner, the speech from the- throne referred to the visit of Hin Honors ministers at the conference called at Toronto by the Maritime Provinces Association as "si notable effort felicltiously conceived and generously supported by residents of

in the Maritime Provinces, and who desired to promote further trade re- lations between their adopted and their mother province." .

Several paragraphs in the Speech

from the Throne referred to relations with the federal government. "I am pleased to inform you that negotia- tions fcr the transfer of the valley railway have progressed to a point where it is anticipated that a speedy conclusion will not be delayed and which will afford substantial finance ial relief io the province,” said Hi! Honor in respect to the taking over of the St. John Valley railway, wh runs from Centreville in Carleton County to Westfield, in Klng‘s Domi. ty, by the Canadian National R.ail~ ways.

In relation to claims inees with the federal in respect to the natural the speech from' the throne referred to New Brunswicl¢‘s case ae "claim of the province that its finan- cial relation to the Dominion should be considered in connection with the claims of ther provinces to natur- al resources not in the sense claiming us a proprietary right in such re- sources but- that there should be ui parity of treatment of all the prov- inces."

Reference was also made to the

dominion farm loan act, a. legisla- tion to implement which in this pro- vince had been passed at the last session of the legislature, and His Honor said that he hoped to see the act functioning in New Brunswick when the Commissioner, Hon. Dr. Mac- Lean, has completed the preliminary work of visiting the various provinc- es. Decision to appoint “a commis- sion to investigate and report" upon the subject of old age pensions which has occupied the attention of the government, was announced because of “the uncertainty asto the probable mst of the administration of that measure." '

Extending the policy of free school

books, "the issue of school books could be made absolutely free up to and including the eighth grade.” was referred to and his honor expressed the opinion that “this act has met with the approval of the country."

The increase in immigration. satis-

/factory progress in activities of the

Department of Agriculture, including "the largest retum from factory dairy products ever known in the 8° cords of the Department,” and the assistance to the sufferers and to municipalities resulting from for tuberculosis patients were all :erred to and also the fact that

public accounts Allin show a on current account.” ‘
