me......I leviewed

My party has a Platform to submit to the people of this Pro"- vince for approval. a Platform that I believe should be Interest- inz to the electorate after so many years of Jones rule -

FIl'Itly., Agriculture and Fhh-i eriea. .

On election on April zlith. the Conservative Party. besides carry- ing on the usual work of the De- partment of Agriculture. will set up a special fund to be adminis- tered by I Commission under the Minister of Agriculture. with as- sistance from the employees and field representatives of the De- parimente of Agriculture and Fish- eries. which fun-d shall be for the loans to farmers and fishermen and to those deelmus of becoming farm- ers and fishermen on long terms of credit at interest and at a low rate for the following purposes:

(1) For the purchase of farm

(2) For the purchase of live stock. either pure bred or good grade.

(3) For the purchase of essential farmln-g equipment.

(4) For the purchase of boats and fishing equipment by fisher-

men. (5) For the purchase of fish buildinge and construction of

freezers and storage buildings.

No down payment shall be ne- cessary and the sum to be allott- led on the inaugeration of this plan shall be 51,000.000.

This is a plan I have advocat- ed for years but without result from the Liberal Party. They would rather sit back and see the flower of our manhood and girl- hood leave the Province, perhaps never to return, to see our farms become vacant and our Island left with the greatest number of old people per capita in Canada. Why has not some assistance like this been put in force before. so that our farmers and farmer-'a sons would not be in the near depres- sion that they are now approach- mg.

We have a veterans assistance act called the Veterans Land Act. why not a similar act fpr our civilian farmers and fishermen. I say we must have it now and the only way is to remove the pre- sent Government and allow the Conservative Party under my leadership to put into force this support and rehabilitation plan, a plan that will bring prosperity to our farmers and fishermen with no loss to the Government.

Credit Essential

At the present time many young men are seeking a start in life on their own as farmers and fish- ermen in this Province. They must get credit to start. All oth- or sources of loans are now clos- ed to them. why should not the Government step in and help and a Conservative Goverhment will if given the chance on the 28th. Our Liberal friends will say. where is the money to come from. The present Liberal leader has boasted in the past on many oc- casions that his Government could borrow all the money they want- ed at 2 l-2 or 3 per cent. and he has borrowed huge sums to fin- ance his yearly deficits since 1943. incurred by foolish mend- lngs, such as the "Eskimo" ven- ture. the Falconvwood barn. and now the :1.-.o.ooo smile at Hills- boro Bridge. -

Has he lent any assistance to establlah our boys on our farms- why not. the investment was safe. should not our young men be en- couraged to remain here? He: not Premier Jones own son done well farming as long as he had the necessary credit? Has not Premier Jones succeeded in fann- ing. in the some way himself? He boast; of his '10 head of cattle- How many have a herd of this number or even one third of it! Why. the lad: of credit and capi- tal has been the bug-bear of our farmers for many years.

We will remedy that by extend- ing capital to them. True we may not borrow at 2. 1-2 per cent new but we Will borrow and can borrow. This will be a separate clear on ordinary revenue and I feel that loans will be made at approximately 4 per cent. A farmer already set up may bor- row for stool: and equipment- Many of our farmers today would like to get more and better cat- tle. Suppose he wants to buy two young heifers which would cost say two. He can pick out the heifers he chases of any breed under the supervision of field- men from the Department. The seller will receive cash forthwith and the farmer gets his heifers lmmdietaly. We will give the

farmer ample time to repay ea! 8, 4 or 5 years.

In that time the offspring will have the loan paid off and the

farmer will have a small hard. W117 Protnrlar Jones would be able to sell off yomo of his own heifers in this manner. it not we high priced. In the case of a young man wanting in purchase a farm -a loan would be ad- vanced io him for the purchase of an approved farm without any deposit. He will also be able to borrow for stock and equipment. Fishermen individually and col- lectively will come under the same plan and will be able to borrow against any equipment they desire to purchase. includ- lm the erection of buildings and smell freuim plants.

There is no other source of help comparable to this in this Pro- vince and with proper administra- tion there will be no loss to the Province and untold good will be done. Just think. If a plan of this nature had been started say 10 yeersgago when I first act- vocaied same. how far different would be the circumstances of many of our distressed farmers today. In further reference to farming and fishing we will find ways and means to get assistance from the Support Price funds and will press for a plan and scheme by,whlch help will be given when the emefuency arises.

Teaeherf lalariea

Secondly In our Platform we will provide adequate increases in teachers pay with special at- tentlon to increases to those of our teaching profession who are especially qualified and have ex- perience. Our Department of Education will at all times co- operate on a most friendly basis with the profession and I see-no reason why any animosity should exist as we have noticed in the past. To help lighten the burden of parents due to taxation and the high cost at living, we will pro- vide free of cost school books up in Grade VI in all public schools. I feel that this benefit is long overdue and the increasing cost of school books has been a. worri- some item for every wage earlier.

Thirdly in our Platform, we will inaugerate a policy in reference to rural electricity, a. policy long pl Ised by the Liberal and nev- er fulfilled. The present admin- istration has no policy and never had. They would like you to be- lleve that the policy of the Marl- tlme Electric Company Is their policy, but our rural people well know that If they want a line put in they go to the Company and not to Premier Jones and his Gov- ernment. .

We are much In need of the benefit to electricity In our rural areas and four long years ago Premier Jones ,.omlsed action and "possibly authorized Grants- in-Alcl to assure a quick extension of electricity Into rural areas."

The people were fooled by the tall: of grants-in-aid and. still are without electric service, except where the Company have gone . ahead on its own. We know that there are many districts that must do without electric service unless some Governmental help is forthcoming. Where the Liberal Government failed you. we will

help you and will where ,. extend financial assistance and co-operate wholeheartedly with the producers of power for its dis- tribution throughout the Prov- nce.

Hi L , Maintenance

Forthly. we will inaugerate I policy of extension and mainten- ance of permanent highways in this Province with I. equal and fair distribution for each of our three Counties. I feel that all citi- zens of this Province will realize the serious problem that will con- front us In this regard. Due to the net work of roads in this Prov- ince. due to neglect in mainten- ance by the present regime, and due to the lack of any policy on road building after two terms of Jones Government, this Province now faces a serious problem. In the past twenty years our roads were never as bad as they are at

the present. Among the travelling;

public. this Province is being side- sfepped due to the unhappy reput- ation that has gone abroad. our tourlst traffic has suffered. This must be remedied. The hit and miss policy of the Government must be stopped and a sane policy of road making adopted.

We will build new paved roads and I will see that Prince and Kings Counties receive better con- sideration than in the past. We will put in force at regular patrol system on all sectionsof roads at all times of the year so that our improved roads will not be left to deteriorate and wash out due to carelessness. Coupled with our policy of extension and mainten- ance the Trans-Canada contract will be given further conalderat. Ion so that its location and man- ner of building will be in conform- ity with our needs and economy. Every opportunity will be given for free and open discussion and there shall be no ruthless interfer- ence wlth rights and privileges en- loved for years. .

In accordance with my Party's nrevious commitment. we will build and complete a West River Bridge to serve all the residents of the South shore. For many long years the Isolated people of the South side have put up with poor roads and a poor ferry service. It will be one of my first responsi- bilities to see that there plight Is remedied.

Flftly my Party having always had faith in our special claims against the Dominion and having a successful record In the past ,ln the enforcement nf these claims. as evidenced by the findings of 1912. 1926 and 1934 exceeding sev- cn and one-half million dollars. which findings the Liberal party has failed to enforce and the fin- ancial arrangements with the Fed- eral Government belna inadequate and unjust to this Province. we

shall demand an agreement which will recognize our special claims and producc for the Provii-ice rev- enue sufficient to meet its fiscal need.
