(Continued from g I!

Minister. that the posed trans- fer of the pmvlricialrgebta to the Dominion not only would not create speculative windfalls to which cer- tain of the premiers have alluded. it would actually prevent the aris- ing of such windfalls.

A considerable number of the bonds of the province of Prince Edward Island were issued bearing a rate of interest in excess of six per cent. If I am not mistaken those bonds are principally held in the province of Ontario,

We, in Prince Edward Islandhave _a respect for our contractual obli- gations, and year after year we have paid 0-1/5 or 6% per cent. or whatever it may be, to the bond- holders in the province of Ontario or in other provinces.

We have not any money barons at home to pay it to. so we have to pay it to some other province. In order to protect the bond-holders in some of the other provinces of Can- ada and in order to protect our band-holders we imposed heavy tax- ation on our people to provide a three or four per cent. sinking fund to cover those bonds.

We provide a three or four per cent. suikiiiz fund. as the case may be. We have regard to payment of our financial obligations.

Now. on thecther side. where do we get. that sinking fund?

From the taxes that. we impose on our people. In what form do we invest it? Well, in Dominion and Provincial bonds?

And. as I was about to say. hav- ing great faith and confidence in the large natural resources and the initiative of the peope of certain provinces of Canada. we invested a certain amount. of our sinking funds in the bonds of these provinces. And a few years later we found that, although we had to pay over six per cent. in some instances. to‘ the bond-holders in the wealthy provinces of Canada, at least one of the provinces in whose ponds we had invested our sinking fund,tod us peremimoriiy that where they had undertaken to pay six per cent. interest thev were going to pay only three per cent. interest. and where they had undertaken to ay four per cent. interest. thev would pav only two ‘per cent.

So that we are in the position of receiving on our sinking fund in- i vestments interest at the rate oft two and three per cent. while pay- lng out. interest at the rate cf over , six percent. on borrowings from the more wealthy provinces.

Thus is Island Squeezed

Thus Prince Edward Island is squeezed between. on the one hand. the wealthy provinces who insist or at least expect that we carry Wt- our financial obligations. and. on the other hand. at least one pro- vince which does not have for it: financial obligations the same res- pect that it is demanded we shall have for ours.

There hasbeen a lot of talk about provincial autonomy. but. Mr. Prime Minister. there is such a thing, surety, as Dominion autono-

It is quite conceivable that ulti- niatclv some reform in money met-h ods may be necessary- Bill that cannot be carried out bv the p10- vrnces. The Dominion alone has the power to do that . . . But it doe! appear to me that in view of the very serious condition revealed by the statement made by the Minis- ter of Finance. and of the prvb- lcms which this condition creates. not only for the Dominion but for the provinces. that we should not

I think we have fried our utmost to find a solution on the basis of what the report proposes. That is the only real basis we have upon which to discus the matter in the absence of any alternative proposal which would offer a better solut- ion than that in the re- port. I believe I have made it clear that ii anyone had a proposal to make which would afford a better solution than that put forward in the report we should be the first to wish to accept it.

lloped for Agreement

Frankly. I for one had hoped that. no matter how divergent our views mioht be, we might have found it possible as a result of conference to reach at ‘least a measure of that. complete agreement at. which the commissioners themselves arrived after:- a careful study of the ques- tion.

May I 58y this next. When my

colleagues and I considered the cull- ing oi’ this conference there was a- mong us a great diversity of view as to the wisdom of having such a satherine at this time. Inlsilyiilg that I do not think I am betray- ing any cabinet secret which I am sworn torespect. I for one took the view that it was very doubtful whether lt would be wise to have a conference in wartime, I must say that the Minister of Finance, in the situation which he presented to the cabinet. convinced me that it would be a much great- er responsibility on the shoulders of the federal administration if. know- ing what we knew and ilflVlll" be- fore us the information ivliicli he has disclosed this afternoon. we did not invite the provinces into con- ference with us to see ivhether, with that knowledge before the provinces as it was before ourselves, we might not find some inciiis of avoiding the stresses and strains which we fear the extra birrcieiis of war are likely to place upon the Rial-lime between the provincial governments and the Dominion.

We felt that 1f there were a so- lution of difficulties which have been creating friction between the Provinces and the Dominion, dif- ficulties which have been catisiiig strains and stresses in the struc- ture of Confederation itself, the

Frankly, I was hopl-HC. my wi- leagues were ‘s ‘ , I believe the public of Canada generally hop- ed that we might have taken the larger view, name! , the view of what is best for e interests cf our entire minion.

g further about our not des- lrinfl totmnke the war a factor in con. beyond “ ‘-‘

r . further

If they can come to n state of unanimity among themselves cer- tI-lnly we will be ready w meet them. even in a e - that step is not taken while the war lute it will be because of the fact that this conference has made it clear to some of the provinces that it is better not to have fur-

tho effect that the additional attain ofthewuuid itsdemnndahuhnd upon the difficult situation with whtchallofusuegotpgtobeoou- fronted u time rum on.

I think much has been gained, from what we have discussed even thus far. U to the lent the

titude which the Dom ads. hae taken town-rd it. They now have something more, they mw have the points of’ view of the dif- erem provinces with re to it. ‘Iliey now have the of vfow of each o , they now blow the ob on: of each province to the 1911011. although not u fully u they might have been stated had the conference run on for some time. Whoever has to do with this re- port in the future will have not only the report itself, but the var. ious addreses which have been made at this table as a further guide a) the study of the recommenda- ons.

Peacetline L‘ ent?

One of titre argument: that was put forward very strongly is that this ls a peacetime and not a war- time document. I think one of the gains of the conference thus far has been the indication of the prepar- edness of all provinces to consider this report in peacetime. It. has been declared to be a. peacetime document and the discussion of it in peacetime seems to have been a- greed upon according to the remarks which have been made by all thus

ar.

There is objection to it in a time of war, but there has been the rec- ognition that when the time of re- construction comes there should be some further consideration of the report. That is a step forward. al- though I admit it is not one that helps to solve the present situation to the extent that one would wish to see it solved.

May I say with respect to the conference itself and the degree t0 which it has been successful or has fallen sicort of tho expectations of ourselves and other» it, is not, for me either to assess or attempt to asess praise or blame.

I hope my attitude throughout the conference has been such that no one can say there has been an attempt either on the part of my colleagues or myself to judge any man for his utterances or for hi; irlcws. We are all servants of the Deflple- We are the trustees of the people. riot only for our own day and generation, but fcr the davs of others. and for generations to 60ml‘. And, SO far as any judgment which may be based upon our pm-

sooner the means to remedy that

situation were found the better it

would be. If the step was a good i one in itself. then certainly it was

obviously desirable that in time of

' plac-

eci on all that is difficu t, W!‘

should seek as early as possible to

relieve that situation.

You know very well wlmt would have been said later on if. alter the Minister of Finance finds it necessary to introduce certain measures which mar seem to cut into the revenues o the provinces and to create embarrassmeiits as a consequence, we had said nothing to ou in advance about the sit- uat on which we were facing,

May I say that we (the Federal cabinet) were unanimous in that view at the end, although we were decidedly of a different point; of view at the outset.
