I had over 30 yeugrexpcri- encc at the Bar in this ovlrice; for l0 or 16 years I had the larg- est and moot lucrative practice lIl the Province; I was enflfllfid on practically all important cues. I had experience before the Bar in . Boston. Washington, Olllcaao. the Supreme Court of

Now. let: me revert to the case so often referred to by MacArthur. namely. the Getson case. I am enclosing you herewith a copy of a letter I sent. you on the 38th of November 1936. I am doing this so as not. to put u to the trouble of looking it up n your files. I now ask, what would have happened to MacArthur-ls claim had we dismiss-l ed this case?

from Mr. A. S. MacKay or Mr. M. F. Schurman and I feel rea- sonably sure they will verify nu statements.

I know how easy it ls for those receiving reductions to complain. I know. too, that no Board could possibly formulate proposals that

BRACE, MaoKAY & Cm, LTD. Sumrnerside Prince Edward Island

May 25th. 1938. Hon. Jusiiice Albert C. Saunders, Charlottetown. P.E.I.

Dear Justice Saunders:

Your valued letter of the 23rd just: received and I ave noted with deem regret the statement made by Senator MacArthur in regard to the administration of the Farm- ers’ Creditors Arrangement Act in

i this Province, under the adminis-

tration of the Board of Review.

Personally I have had to attend a large number of meetings since the Act_became operative in this Province and I have on various occasions publicly stated that no one could be more courteous to- wards all parties concerned than the Honourable Justice Saunders. who is the present Chairman of the Review Board. On different occasions I was deeply impressed with the kindly consideration given by you to all the different parties who came before your Board. but I appreciate that often there was a case that. was very complicated and difficult to find a working solution for, and it. would be utterly impossible for you or any other Judge to pass down a decision that. would meet with the approval of all parties. You will remember that on more than one occasion I pointed out; what to me seemed to be one of the prin- ciple defects in the Act itself that ls that. when your Board gives a decision and the parties fail to live up to the agreement. that tn- stead of coming before your Board the next course is to be taken up with the County Court Judge in each county. This atrpears to me to be a vey weak link in connec- tion with the Act.

Your second question is, if I ever knew you to act otherwise than as a gentleman in any busi- ness uffalrs and it gives me un- bounded pleasure to reply to this question. I have known you in- timatelv for half a. century and from boyhood days and always found that all your acts were those of a gentleman in every sense of that word. and in business transactions were at all times the soul of honour.

You ask it I know of any case in connection with our firm here where your Board went. out of its wnv to favor the farmer. In reply may say I do not know of any case where you failed to try and lqld the scale of justice equitably balanced. but in some cases it was exceedingly difficult, as the puf- ties had failed to do their pflfl- when the cases reached your Board and you were in a. very difficult position.

Ilf there is any additional light. I can give you on any matters. the writer would be onfly too tllwd to do his best to furnish same.

I thank you for the copla of letters that you so kindly forward- ed me in connection with the senator and I am returning some herewith. I was very much inter- ested tn noting the fact. that he states in his letter April 38th, 1938 that. "I took a great many loses. being one otf the biggest. share-

when the Act. came into effect in thin wovlncc. and constructive crl-

clsm in the Senate last week on the administration of the F.C.A.A. in this Province. I may as well make my position clear by speak- ing plainly. I am absolutely sure it is not so much the Act or its administration that is the cause o! Senators MacArthur and Hughes’ remarks. but positively and defin- ‘ itely a matter of personal spite. Such being the case, and should you have any doubt in your mind as to who is at fault. I should be more than pleased for you tomake a thorough and complete indepen- dent and impartial investigation of conditions as they actually exist in this Province. I want to say fur- ther that as far as I am personally concerned I have exerted my ut-t most endeavours to make the Act‘ 8 FUCCESS. t

I received a letter from Senator MacArthur some short time ago, a copy of which I herewith enclose, and a copy of my reply. You seei, he is still complaining about the‘ Getson case. Let me emphasize this point, that this is the only ease on which MacArthur evier attended. He positively did not remain over] half an hour. I-Ie says if he had dealt with the matter last year he could have stpoken for an hour andi a half and tell things hard w be-l lleve. He also says if we had a good business man on the Board. with some fairness and sense of , equity we would never have ex- perlenced so much trouble.

Now. let me first deal with his letter. On receipt of it. I immedi- ateiy wrote Mr. A. S. MacKay. treasurer of Brace, MacKay 8a.‘

his reply, which speaks for itself. You can see from Mr. MacKays letter just what a big shareholder MacArthur has been in this Com- pany since the first of February 1937. I also wrote Mr. Maynard} F’. Schurman, head of the firm oft M. F. Schurman, but as yet re- oeived no reply. I took occasion. however, last evening to interview- him personally. I never in my life felt that it was my duty to say anything in self-adulation. How- ever, what Mr. Schui-man stated could hardly be so regarded. This is about what he did state. name- ly: that on the whole he found the Act beneficial to his firm; that he could see absolutely no cause for MacArthurZs criticism of me or the Board or our administration of the Act; that I was a, man in whom he had implicit faith and confidence] He believed the Board here was

discharging its duty as well as imyi

three men could possibly do. I re- quested him to reduce his remarks in writing so that I might forward thorn to you. He promised me he would do so without delay. On re- ceipt of his letter I will forward it

to you.

MacArthur has said that; I or- dered a party interested out of Court: and that I described some creditors as selfish creditors. Ideny these allegations completely. I challenlle MacArthur to tiame his men. He says further that the Board even advertised that it would hold sittings. This is not true. A';ain I challenge him to name the paper in which the advertisement appeared. That we have made mis- takes in our proposals, I am not. denying; but as yet I do not know of any such cases. You referred several cases to me regarding which objections were taken by I-Iolmans and others. I gave you my views and ideas regarding these objec- tions. I know, too. that frequently the Board itself is divided in re- gard to what. should be donewith some of its cases. This. I think. is very natural. In fact, as you know. we have dealt with many hundreds of cases. and it is quite easy to understand that some of the cases dealt with would not be just. as you or someone else might. consider ad or rudent. I really think the Minis er, the Honourable 1Vl7r. Dunninrsshould summon Mac- Arthur before him. tell him just exactly what I have to say in re- spect to his remarks and ask him to prove what he states or retract his statements. I would welcome your coming down to this Province yourself, or sending down a good. reliable man to make an independ- ent enquiry respecting the admin- istration of the Act in this Prov- ince and make his report to your Department.

I do not claim to be infallible in my judgments or decisions but I have a firm conviction that. in no single case have I acted unfairly. I repeat. I have given of my very best. in my endeavours to make the Act. a success. And while it does not lie in my mouth w commend my work. I have a conscientious conviction that. on the whole our proposals will stand the teat before any tnvmttgutor.

I notice, too, that the I-Ionurable w. Me hen and the Honourable J. T. Ha have made some dis r- acing‘ remarks about. the m rs d the Board. I think 1n all felt-- ncu they should at. least. be Ic- qusintcd with the actual facts be- fore making any reflections. PIT" tlcularly l-Fhilt a Judge who la trying to do his duty as he seen It.

this case at which MacArthur was

present he acquiesced in all that.

was done. Why now should he be

rgjs-tering an/y objections? And let me just add a. little humour to

the situation. At the close of thei case MacArthur said to Mrs. Get-

son: "Now. Mrs. Getson. you know

that no one has been a better

friend to you than I have. On

many occasions I have assisted your father and yourself and I was

always ready and willing to extend the time for the payment of your I note. I was always ready and will- , to help vou." Her reply: "Oh no. Senator. you were not. You told me that if I dld not pay you ever‘ single dollar I owed you, you woul

turn me out on the road. You said you would buy in my property and hold it as a park: there was agood pond on it and you would convert it into a trout pond for fishing purposes." His reply: "Oh. Mrs Getson. I never told you anything of the kind." Mrs. Benson's reply was: "Yes, Senator, you did, on two occasions. I-‘first, in the kitchen in my home in the presence of James Raynor and on a subsequent occasion at my own home." Mec- Arthur picked up his hat and im- mediately departed without further comment.

It is so- easy to make charges against Ono's character and repu- tatioru-it is often difficult to dis- prove such charges. I feel, how- ever. we have enough reliable men, men of honour and integrity who can give you any desired informa- tion you require regarding myself or my work as chairman of the Board-I have told you time and again that I know of many men such as merchants and law- yers who are strongly opposed to the Act. I never found any fault with our merchants or lawyers who suffered as a result of its enact- ment but what I complain about is the course pursued by some of these. You know I have repeatedly requested and invited I-Iolmans to discuss their problems and difficul- ties with me. They have com- Dlfil-cly isnored me, and forwarded and supplied MacArthur with what they consider their grievances. They never gave me an opportun- ity of making any explanation. Why they have taken this hostile Bttllllde. I am at a loss to under- stand. I know they have been accustomed to obtaining judgments and issuing executions and collect- ing their accounts as they in their wisdom considered best. They re- sent any outsiders interfering with their business methods. The same is perfectly true regarding several other business houses. But I did not make the Act; the members of the Board including myself are only doing their very bwt in try- inZ to administer it. Holmans have told me time and again that extensions and not reductions are all that is necessary. They are lnalterably opposed to reductions. How helpless any Board would be under such circumstances! I have m hesitation whatever in saying from my exiperience that the Act has been a great, benefit for those for whom the Act was intended. namely. the farmer. who form 85% of our population. I am absolutely sure the farmers’ condition in this Province was never as bad as it is at present. Never in the history of our Province was the Provincial Government compelled to come to their rescue or assistance as they may: been obliged to do this year, in the way of furnishing grain for them. These statements can easily be verified on enquiry from the Department of Agricul- ture. This last several months the merchants have been laying low and not making any demands on ‘the farmers. with the result that few applications arwmade under the provisions of the Act at. the present time. Once the Act. is re- pealed or revoked. I am convinced that. you will find hundreds of mortgage sales and possibly similar numbers of executions issued against the helpless farmer. This. B! I we lt- ls the great danger at the present moment. because for the past three or four years the mor. chants and the money lenders have been held up in this connec- tion as a result of the Act.

I am sorry to have written you at such great length. If there is any further information you de- sire on this subject, please do not hesitate to enquire and I will only be too glad to furnish it

Yours faithfully, ALBERT C. SAUNDERS."

this Act since it. was inaugurated. Great skill and Judgment were used . in connection with this particular case, and every creditor at. the Board was satisfied with the settle- ment. the debtor did not. lose one foot of his land and the Board made it. possible for him to com‘ tlnue his farming operations with no debt except the small original mortgage. This debtor now admits and his attorney admits that it; was the best for all parties concerned.

I may add here that just after this case was closed. a party who attended every sitting. remarked to me that. he was amazed at the patience and courtesy that you per- | sonally exhibited in dealing with; these people who at first seemed impossible.

I certainly feel very badly that it should be one of our company who is so unfairly attacking the Board of Review in general and particularly yourself. and I feel that you should ask for an investi- gation as this criticism is publish- ed, not only in our province, but will be curled through the press all over the Dominion, giving you no opportunity to defend yourself.

It would seem to me that if the Island Senators, who are criticising the Board. had taken a more act- ive part when the Act came before them. it would look considerably better than their criticism at the present time, after they have a1- lowed the bill to go through. HOW can any group of men be expected to satisfy two parties directly op- posed to each other-onetrying to collect his bill. the other unable to DB-Y it?

In closing I want. to add that. for the past thirty-five years or more I have done a great deal of busi- ness with you, especially when you conducted a law office here in Summerside. and I have found you periectly straightforward and fair in your dealings. and wise in your counsel and Judgment. and no matter what they say about you 1n the Senate or what report. the pflgl-Zirs give. they cannot change my m .

Yours very sincerely. (Signed) M. F. SCHURMAN.
