Increased Debt

Those phantoms of Iiberalleritic- ism, the Government financial re- cord, the gasoline tax, and the na- tional highway policy were forever laid by Hon. H. 1". MaoPhee last night at a strongly Oonrorvative meeting in Cardigan Hall. nfr. Mne- Phee and his colleague, Mr. Leslie Hunter, were in splendid fighting form and crushed their opponents under the weight of logical argu- ment. Both candidates took the of- fensive and literally tore Mr. Hes- siarrs "little platform" to shreds. They revealed that Mr. Hessian and Mr. Mustard as well as other Lib- eral candidates misunderstood their platform with regard to a balanced udget. and showed that the state- ment that a Liberal balancing of a budget invariably meant an increase in debt. Mr. Hessian, the last Lib- m! speaker. spoke in majestic style, blissfully unaware that the whole basis of his reasoning had been p". viously blasted by Mr. MacPhQs. Dr. Allen capably presided over a meeting which was a model‘ of at- tentiveness. The candidates set s laudable precedent by each up“. 1118 to speak thirty minutes“.

was assuminghalftbecostofa hard surface road. There had been no agreement for the Federal Gov- ernment to build a hard s urface mad. What had been promised was a rock base and a gravel top. It was inexpedient to build such a road, as there was little local gravel, and such a mad required constant supply of. gravel for necessary maintenance.

The Government was taking the contribution of the Dominion, and wesapplylngittotheoonstruc- tlon of a hard surface road, rather than take the proposed Trans- Canada road which was not ade- quate to meet conditions in this Province ’

There was a debt increase under the Liberals of |1,200,000 in four years. As people did not reproach themselves for a r showing so the Government d not need to reproach itself. rather Mr. Mus- tard's Government should be re- proached, ‘since in good time: it had made an exceedingly poor showing.

Liberal Misanderstandfngs

‘The Liberal plank of a balanced ‘budget might mean two things according to Liberal interpreta- tions. Mr. MaePhee pointed out. m. Mustard in . stating that it meant no increase in debt showed

that he had s. , misunder- standing of the meaning of his own platform. At Wood Islands

ma" VITAL Issue

Before the electors of this Province is an issue in the present election campaign of greater importance than any raised since Confederation. On the decision of this issue will depend the whole future of Prince Edward Island in its financial relations with the Dominion Government.

We‘ refer to the question of subsidy claims settlement on the basis of the minority report of the White Com- mission.

The Liberal party record in the matter of subsidy claims is a total blank. It achieved nothing in the past. It has no policy for the future, Its platform of sixteen planks holds out no hope whatever to the people of this Province.

What is the Conservative record? The door at Ottawa, declared by Lsurier to be locked and bolted against fur- ther provincial pressure, was opened in 1912 by the Maihieson Government. This Province obtained as a result a subsidy increase, for all time, of $100,000.

Through presentation by the first Stewart Govern- ment before the Duncan Commission in 1926, jointly with the other Maritime Provinces, this Province obtained a further annual subsidy increase of $125,000.

Again through co-operation with the other Maritime Provinces, the MacMiilan Governmentlast year obtained, through the White Commission, a further subsidy increase of $150,000,

Three subsidy increases, totalling $375,000 annually, obtained by three successive Conservative administrations in this Province. i

Capitalized at 5 per cent, this represents recognition of our provincial subsidy claims at Ottawa to the extent of $7,500,000.

But. this is not all, The Conservative appeal is not based wholly on its record of achievement. That speaks for itself. Its appeal to the electors today is to the future. The first plank in the MacMilian Government platform is: "Having further established our provincial claims against the Dominion Government to the extent of three million dollars, T0 CONTINUE T0 PRESS FOR A FULL REAL- IZATION OF OUR CLAIMS ON THE BASIS OF THE MINORITY REPORT 0F'THE WHITE COMMISSION.”

Which Party Government is best capable of achieving this result? That is the issue, the REAL ISSUE, before the electors today.

So many editions of the Liberal platform have ap- peared that the electors and the candidates are equally at sea as to what it means. In every district the Liberal spokesmen prefer to give their own version rather than ihe barren generalities contained in the text.

From an analysis of Liberal criticisms and explan- ations as to how their chief plank-s balanced budget-is lo be implemented under present conditions, the following definite policies emerge:

1. Abolition of Old Age Pensions.

2. Discontinuance of all unemployment relief and undertakings of any importance in the Public Works De- partrnent.

3. Abolition of the Department of Public Health,

tgrelria being no Liberal candidate qualified to fill the port- o o. 4. Charging of gravel and road machinery to capital

instead of ordinary account.

5. Reduction in all teachers‘ salaries of $500 or over, n accord with the Liberal amendment to the Estimates

in the Legislature In 1983.

6. Abolition of are and 4th year courses at Prince of Wales College, scrapping of all oilcloth, shower baths and

toilet facilities, and rebuilding the institution on a

lneaner scale in accord with requirements prevail-

ing fifty years ago.

7. Provision of bicycles for Ministers, nurses, Wo-

men's Institute and departmental officials in keeping with pledge to abolish the present system of using motor

cars. 8. Reduction of grants to Hospitals and Sanatorium,

which iheConservaiives extravngantiy increased when in office.

9. Encouragement of Initiative among the fishermen by abolishing the Conservative grant to the Fisherman's Union.

10. Competition being the of“ tr_i1_<_i_e.___to_establish_ a Central J all Farm so as to gfve our farmers the benefit of competition in their home market by cutting prices through the sale of Jail Farm vegetables.

Hon. Mr. A Sharp Unfoldsi

Inslncerliy of Liberal office- seekers in criticising as “extrava- gsnt" the Government's construc- tion of s. better grade hard-surface highway than the McIntyre high- way and at less than one-half the cost per mile, was scored effective- ly inst night at York by Hon. G. Shelton Sharp, Minister of Agri- culture, who spoke in suppo u of the Conservative candidates, Hon. Mr. Wood and Dr- Farmer, at the opening Third Queen's meeting at York.

Mr. Sharp was in magnificent form, and received enthusiastic applause. He riddled the Opposi- tion arguments with the same ease as he did In thcLeglslaiure last session, and the audience. intensely interested. followed his address with marked appreciation.

Mr. Sharp's analysis of the ee- oncmles effected by the Govern- ment in I-‘alconwood Hospital maintenance was another high- epot of the meeting-indicating as it did that $84.00 per patient per year is being‘ saved now as com- pared with the cost under the hi6 Lea Government.

In his address Mr. Sharp first dealt briefly with two planks in the Liberal platform. One promis- es to make expenditure and rev- cnue meet, and another promises io institute a. prison farm, s. pro- crdure which would cost many lilousands of dollars and could lint. be expected to be self sustain- ing-, How. asked the speaker, could

' the Liberals expect to make ex-

penditure and revenue meet and make experiments of which that was an example. Comparing the record of the ‘late Liberal ‘administration with the record of the present Conserv- ative Government he pointed out , that there was a. debt increase of l$l,720,000 under the Liberal ad- ministration when conditlons were prosperous and times were normal. Compared with that. was the re- cord of the MacMiiian Government .which in three years went behind only $939,000 when faced with ex- traordinary conditions. In those

the Liberal Government in 1929 to cn-opcratc with the other Maritime Governments in pressing for subsidy settlement was the attitude adopted by Mr. B. W. LePage, a member of the then admlnlstraiio . when chal- lenged to deny the truth of Ex-

Saunders-Robb correspondence that he had followed this course and had also refused to oo-operaia with the Maritime Board of Trade.

That this vitally important mat- ten-involving a loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars to the Mari- ilmes-wae “ancient history. and didn't mntldr in l-hll canoe-in." was the only defense which the Lib- eral candidate had to offer.

Mr. IIePage was eflectively chal- lenged on this point at the Hunter River meeting last night by Mr. It. A. Currie, who followed Mr. LePage in the debate. The audience loudly applauded the Conservative candid- ate's exposure of glaring Liberal in- competence and neglect of the Pro- vince’s interests at. that time.

The meeting was larflly attended, and was noisy at times. Both the Liberal candidates were badly heca- ied. Mr. LcPage at one time threat- ening to invoke "the law" against his interrupt/ere, who refused to ac- cept his statements as facts and booed and jeered at his snsry N- torts.

Tale Of 2 Governments, At Falconwood Hospital

three years the MacMlllan admin- istratlcn built Falconwood Hospit- al and Prince of Wales College, and paid over $50,000 for old age pensions. $61,500 for direct relief, and contributed for unemployment relief work $258,000. Added to that, also, was the interest on the $1,710,000 overdraft and unpaid bills left by the late Liberal Gov- ernment. In other words. conclud- ed Hon. Mr. Sharp, the brew"; Government would have had a surplus of something like $12,000 if it had not been faced with ex- traordinary expenditure.

Dealing with the record of the administration of affairs at Fal- oonwood under the two govern- ments, Hon. Mr. Sharp brought out very striking facts. In the three years, 1921-31, it cost the Liberal Government $336,412 to run the institution. Under Con- servative administration in the three years 1032-34 it 00st $232,712. In other words the present Gov- ernment saved in the three years $103,609, or the Conservative Gov- ernmant saves $84 oer Patient per year. That, said‘ the speaker. ll the record of this Government in the administration of controllable expenditure. Conditions at the Hospital have improved in every respect. There was a deplorable condition in respect to meat when the present government assumed office. Western beef was being used principally. Now nothing but the best Island beef is being used. Under the Liberal admmistration the meat was kept in s. room at one end of the cow stable and a patient in the hospital out off what was needed with a dull axe, was one of the revelati-rr made by Hon. Mr. Sharp as to condi- tions at the hospital when the present government assumed of- fice. Now a cold storage plant has been provided and the meat k911i? in proper condition.

(BY Richard G. Massock, Associat- ed Press Foreign Staff)

(A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire) PARIS, July 12—Death tonight wrote thefinal chapter In the famed, fantastic "Dreyfus case." Though nightmares of the four‘ tortured years he spent on Devil's Island for alleged treason to France harried him in his last month, Lieutenant Colonel Alfred Dreyfus died peacefully, members of his family about him. He was ‘l6 years old.

The bitter, world-wide contro- WPBY Dreyfus‘ imprisonment stir- red at the turn of the century was in sharp contrast to the almost hermit-like seclusion of his latter years.

He was convicted of selling France's military secrets to Germ many and help captive on Devil's Island until the storm of protest moved the French President pardon him.

Dreyfus’ family, Mme. Drcyf/us, and his son‘ and daughter, Pierre and Jeanne, did all it could to avoid reviving bitter memories of 40 years ago, but they remained indelible in his mind to the last. A young Jewish captain in the. French army who served on the general staff, Dreyfus in 1894 _ convicted in secret court marti 0f selling military secrets to Ger- many. Four years later, such was the commotion his alleged “fram- ing" created, he was brought bacic from Devil's Island and marl again. Again he was convicted, to

Liberal cendid- ate had falsely stated them to be. He showed also that the Liberals. In 103i, had increased the liabilities by “£4000.

An attempt to dispute these h8- UNI in his rebuttal speech only plunged Mr. LsPago deeper into the hole which he had dug for himself at preceding meetings by persistent- ly garbllng the figures as given in the Accounts.

Mr. Bethune also received trem- endous applause when he referred to the announcement from Ottawa of the Rustico-Hunter River nigh- wsy which is to be constructed en- tirely at hderal expense at an ap- proximate cost of 0126.000, work on which is to be started immediately.

He also referred to a stretch of highway from Hunter River to Wayfa bridge. in connection with which a petition had been received. and which will be included in the Federal project.
