Mr. LcPage: "ft was mimey my- Way; Just cs good as claims."

"And what assistance did your former Premier. the late Mr. Bell. get in pressing our subsidy claims," reiorted the Premier. "He had t0 complsln on the floor of this House thst he could not gel any 1.55131- ance from his own followers. That Ina your record!" (ApplLugeJ My hon- friend makes ‘ to the source of revenue from the Domi- ciled Companies Act.

Mr. McIntyre: "That would be paid if you nevel- asked for it.” Premier MccMillan: "Lei. me re- mind my hon. friend that the op-

' Continuing, the Premier sold that when thc Duncan Commission wss appointed the claims of the Morl- tlrnc Provinces had been present- ed by three Conservative govern- ments. the result being s. recom- mendation for an interim subsidy increase of $125,000 for this Pro- vince.

Another “Goose-Egg”

"Now," sold the Premier, "let us turn to the Saunders-Lea admin- istration. What is their record from - a subsidy ‘bore-vise standpoint? Just another goose-egg! Yet, according to their own statements, those were the moat prosperous" years in the history of Canada!"

It had been argued, continued the Premier. that the Liberal sdminlo- trstion had failed because the other Maritime Provinces would not co- operate with them in pressing our claims. All that the other Maritime Premiere did was refuse to present rm "ideal budget" before the Audit Board. "I could show them why they fell down," he added. "I could show where there was no co-oper- ation and who it was that decided to play a lone hsndl"

Mr. King's Testimony

The “unklndest cut of all" came, the Premier said, when Prinwr Min- ister Mackenzie King rose to his feet in the House of Commons and said that if Maritime claim; had not been settled. it was probably due to thn fact that no request had been made tn lmvc them settled." (Applause) "Those words. out of the mouth of ihc Liberal Prime Minister o!

(AppluuseJ

The Premier inferred to an edi- torial comment in the Liberal press on his return from attending the hearings of the White Commission st Ottawa. It was entitled "Courtesy and Cash" and it suggested every delegation had received courtesy,

but the Premier was more inter- ested in the"cssh." "That," be ssid.

Ferry Rate Reduction;

The Premier thcn discussed the M‘: - in the m‘ whlgh the Government had been instru- mental in obtaining on the can-y- 1118 iihflrkes ofautomoblles on the W ferry steamer. also in obtain- ins s trensferrence of the cur ferry

i accounts to the Dominion Consoli-

dated revenue fund. "Whst pro- Gfesii." he asked, Liberal administration made in these directions?" He acknowledg- ed receiving assistance from many individuals, including the lion. member from Summer-side, also from the Boards of Trade and press. Fmm the relief problem stand- point, the present winter has been the most difflcult, the Premier con- tinued. More calls are being made for relief than ever before. The Government is cndeavoring to in- vestigate every claim and to give whatever help is possible,

mnllhllsls was placed on the fact that 0V8!‘ $400.000 arrears of taxes, Iii-TEE]? 0f land tax, are on the books. He believed the large up. rrnragc in lsnd tax was due in some measure to the manner of forming in many districts. Nature intruded that the farm should af- ford a. livelihood. but attempting to make fortunes by farming pso- cesses which oontsined m element 01 Rambling was not natural and i experience mu proved that it was not a. safe course to follow. The Pmmier approved of Mr. Lee's statement that livestock, dsirying and poultry fermin? was the most satisfactory system. The records showed it wee the live. stock fanning sections that were paying up their land tax. Our farm- ers generally would do well to fol- low the gospel preached here over thirty years Ego by the late m. Bnbertson, to whom the dairy in. dustry of the Province is so deeply indebted. The Government, continued the

Premier, is endesvoring to stress the livestock farming possibilities. He pointed out that in the matter of dairy products we have an ex- cellent market right at our door. in the Province of Nova Scotia.

Potato Growers‘ Ass'n

Thr Opposition leader had com- mended the work of the Potato Growers Association. This Govern- ment. said the Premier, has eu- deavored to give every assistance it reasonably could to that organiza- tion. Somr. time ago, the Associa- tion came to the Government and asked them to guarantee their loss- incurred last year." We did not athst." added the Premier. “why?

cause those losses were not all due to frost. If the Association had lived up to its own bylaws. if they had conducted their business in a business-like way, they would have had working capital enough to look after any emergency. In that year when potatoes were $3.25. what was the sense of disbursing the mem- brrship fees and the initiation hes, and the ordinary profits on top of

societions by-laws in this connec- tion.) “Is this Government going to ask the general taxpayer of this Province to malm good their defl- ciency and pay for the lose of 1.200 or 1.400 potato growers? I note that

commit himself on it, as to whether we did right or wrong; but we felt,- acting in the lntcmsts of the tax- payers (gpthc Province. that we could not do it.

"What we did was this. The As- sociation was bankrupt, u it were. Their fertilizer was on the ocean. and somebody had to tske charge of it. The Bank wouldn't take charge of it; so the Government had t0 come to their rescue to the extent of guaranteeing their business up to the amount of 010.000 or 000.000 so that the members cf the Associa- tion and others might get their fertiliser without paying exhorbi-

He recalled that the general experience of Governments, even 1n smaller transactions of this kind, had not been satisfactory to the acumen.

llllnfl Illmhig lmphaslfil

Oin the other hand, the Premier emphasized that the Department of Agriculture has been endesvoriug to bring home the lesson of hep- irp the fertility of the lend, which cannot be done by potato growing on sn extensive scale.

lihnphasls on economy in feeding of livestock was one way in which the Government could be of as- sistance to the farmer. He reibrrcd also to other educetionsl policies which the Department W25 follow- ing. in the way of short courses. meetings in outlying districts, jun- ior livestock clubs. and encourage- ment of domestic ‘nce. dairy organizations, exhibitions and school fslre. It was also the intention, during the coming season, to pro- vide for the establishment of -cow sheep and swine breeding clubs, and in other wsya to bring more closely to tlm farming communities the services of the Department. Throughout the Government's programme runs the leading idea of stressing livestock production B5 the backbone of agri- culture in this Province. In this connection the Premier commend- ed the Charlottetown Driving Club as one means to an end which Wis desirable, namely, the encourage- ment of horse raising. He referred also to the Government's decision to appoint an official in connection with oow testing regulations, es had men asked for by our live- stock organizations. ‘The TB. tests among cattle will be conducted this summer.

Marketing Board

The Premier then dealt with the appointment of the ‘ Marketing Board under the Dominion Market-- lng not. There had been absolutely no "politics" in thy: app- intmcnt of the provincial. board. On the con- trary, an effort had been made to obtain the most suitable men, re- gardless of political affiliation. The Government had asked Mr. Brad- shaw, of Summer-side "who was not a Conservative," to take a. position on the Board and w. Bradshaw had replied, regretting that he could not do so but mmending the pm- iect and expressing his interest. The " appointed were all men of experience and repute. The Premier was not prepared to pass judgment on the Board or on the regulations under the potato mark- cting scheme adopted by the four eastern Provinces jointly; but he felt sure that some gocd would come of their efforts. Indeed. had the Board. lrrren in existence a year ago. he suggested 1t might have mat- erlaly benefited our potato pro- ducers.

Farmers’ Creditors Arrangement Act

Tlu Government had made every endeavour to get the Tanners‘ Creditors’ Arrangement Act oper- ative in this province. The Prem- ier's information was that the act ‘W85 working well wherever it had ‘been given a fair trial. The general experience is thst the Board of Review-which is the court of ap- peal under the Act-hes not had to function in many cases, and that through amicable arrangements n. great rical of good has resulted.

Mr. LePcgc: "What is the ex- ‘nnt of the applications in this Province. might I es ."

Premier MacMillcri: "we have not exact information. but I think it is between 200 and 300. I did no- tice that there were very few ap-

‘plicatlms from the other Mari- .

tlmn Provinces: but I know that we have many applications from this Province and I hope it will help our fanners out of thr- diffi- culties which surround thcm.

The Government, he continued. had legislation in readiness for the Farm Loen Act, but with the amendment put through st Ottawa .thie session only enabling legisla- tion will be necessary. He hoped the operation of this Act would also result beneficially to our fann-

ceived the Prernier-‘s warm com- mendation. But for the income derived from this industry. we

would have been in s. much worse position financially. he said.

The Fishery Industry

With regard to thc fishery in- dustry, the Premier said he had made representations. when at 0t- tewa. to obtain assistant! in fin- ancing the fishermen in bostbuild- ing. He had been informed that this was a provincial undertaking and that only in one province had it been instituted.

When the news was announced of negotiations regarding a recipro- cal trade agreement between Cen- sda. and United States, the Govern- ment had forwarded to the Cana- dian representative ct Washington ,a request to have fish. ls well as furs, potatoes and turnips,’ includ- fed in any such WI ‘ The hope that through these negoti- ations wider marlmts for Island fish and farm products would be obtained, was one in which all our icltisens shared.

All the privileges ‘that the West enjoys have been at the expense of the Maritime Pro- vinces; we have been paying for their extravagance. v

Mr. McIntyre: "Their damnab‘ extra ."

Premier MscMillan: “You might call it their damnable extrava- gnnce.”

Continuing. he reviewed the pro- gress made in the Provincial Lib- rary Demonstration inaugurated with the assistance of the Carnegie libundutlon, particularly empha- sizing the educati l possibilities involved, The initial Carnegie grant of $00,000 had been supplemented this year by a. cheque for $10,000 and fin-them assistance would be received. However, we will be ex- pected eventually to assume the responsibility of carrying on the library work. This wfls a. matter which the. Premier commended to the consideration q: the House and of the country.

Agricultural Training

Agricultural training s!- Prince of Wales College was then dlscursedAs noted in the Throne Speech. it is apparent the curriculum requires revision in order to provide more specificinstruction for those stu- dnts desirous of making sgrlcult- ure their life work. and it is pro- ‘poserl that the necessary steps in this direction will be taken st an eerly dale. If the demand ‘can be developed for more specific agri- cultural training. there is no rea- son why a ‘course could not be pro- vided. over and above the short courses which the government has been carrying on.
