lion. Mr. Arsenuult

Mr. Arsenault at: the outs. of his remarks said he realized the seriousness of the present financial situation. Moreover, the G ivernment found itself vrlihou: thepresence and guidance of the Premier, the, Hon J. D. Stewart who, the speak- er sincerely hoped, would shortly be restored to health and strength. To Mr. Ilea, the speaker tendered sympathy in his recent illness. If he should again be mrved to absent himself he should inform the House who the acting Oppositon lcadcr would be. As it was, the House wit- messed quite a race between the hon. members from Second Kings and Second Queens (Messrs. McIntyre and Isa-Page) to fill this position last weck. A V,

The Government is fully cognizant of the critical times through which the country is passing. They had expected to receive some helpful suggestions from the opposition. The last. speaker, lwr. LcPagc, was vigorous in his criticism but much of what he [said could well have ivaited until the next 1i"l1r;..il cam- paign.

‘New f’. W. C. Arlvnntages

Dealing first with the Depart- ment of Education Mr. Arsenault instanced the successful rebuilding of Prince oi Wales College and the importance of the facilities now‘ provided in an institution which will reflect both the historic back- ground of the Province and our educational ideals oi the future.

Considering the equipment the cost had been remarkably low.

Mr Arscnault commended the Minister of Education on his suc- cess in obtaining the Carnegie grants for library and college pur- poses. He instanced the great in- terest formerly taken in reading and expressed the hope shat with the development of modern library facilities the reading habit, will be revived and that the reading of books in the French language would again become customary among the Acadlans of the Province cs- pecially, but also among other cle- mcnts of our population.

This Province, he pointed out, had now the opportunity of lead- ing the way in developing the in- telligence of the younger genera- tion through improved library fac- ilitlcs. There was, need of a. better educated community and there wasno better means to this end than through the dissemination of goal literature.

In Public Health the Minister of this Department had worked what might; be described as a revolution in the Province. Mr. Arsenault commended particularly the pro- posed fnauguratlon of dental clinics for school children, also the health examination of Prince of Wales College and 5t. Dunstank students, and the progress made in fighting tuberculosis.

He was pleased also to note that marriages were keeping up and people were marrying when young and amblltous. There was a time when it was a matter of pride to sec new homes opening up in each community. Nowadays unfortunate- ly the trend has been the other way. It was a matter perhaps more serious than the question of in- flation of currency, with which the Opposition leader had dealt at some length the other day.

debted to the Women's ‘Institute for the work they had accomplish- ed in pulbic health and education, Mr. Arsenault declared. He instanc- ed what the Institutes had done in the building of the Provincial Sanltorlum.

The necessity of lowering the cost of agricultural production has been impressed in our province in recent months. This was an excel- lent thing and would mean much to the industry when better prices for‘ agricultural products were obtained. "

Mr. Arsenault dealt. with the edu- cational value of the Central School Fair, inaugurated last year and with other phases of the agri- cultural report including fox farm- ing. He stressed also the value of mixed farming and the excellent record made last year in cheese and butter production.

MR. LEA: “Your Minister should introduce grading of dairy butter." HON. lvliR. ARSENAULT: "There is not enough butter graded, but what has been graded has obtain- ed No. 1 standard in quality. We are proud of that and of our cheese quality standard as well." With the agricultural courses in- auguratcd at Prince of Wales Col- lege Mr. Arsenault said it was hoped to make farming a. more profitable industry in this Province. MR. LEA: “Tell us about cran- berries.” '

That Technical School

Taking up the argument of the, Opposition leader as to the super- ior advantages of the Technical School under the Bell Government Mr. Arsenault said he had come across an interesting prospectus of the Technical School which out- lined the instruction given at that institution during the third ses- sion of its establishment», 1922-23. This prospectus showed what they were teaching. Among the ques- tions on the examination papers Mr. Arsenault. found some which he might read for the ediﬂcatlon of the House:

“Describe Mulrcadys picture il- lustrating the seven Ages of lifan."

“How do you account for the present unrest in (l) in India, i2) in Egypt, (3) in South Africa."

"What is the meaning of the fol- lowing expressions:

(l) The White Man's Burden, (2) The Disarmament Conference."

“In pulling a nail from a board with a hammer the distance from the fulcrum to the nail is 1 3-4 inches and from the fulcrum to ihc board is.l0 1-2 inches. Find the resistance of the nail for a pull of ‘B0 pounds upon the hammer handle.” ‘

“A man weighing 180v pounds runs up 24 steps each 8 inches high in 8 seconds. How much work does he do and what horsepower docs he expend?" (Laughter)

MR. LEA; “Those must have been advanced students." (laughter)

Of what value were such qucs- tions, Mr. Arsenault asked, to stud- cnts in from the country to receive agricultural training? This was where the expenditure W85 going in the ’l'echnlco.l School-in teach- ing subjects of little or no practical‘ value to the farmer. In the first Year course, according to the pics- pectus, the students were occupied in making "small articles such as gates, doors, book eases, feed hop- PEN, brwdcrl. to be taken home at the end of the term." He had at- tended the exercises at the insti- tution but had certainly never seen them going home with gates and such articles under their arm (laughter) ‘

MR. LEA! thing."

Continuing the dcbuh: on Wednes- day aftemoon, Mr. Aroenault cited from "The Golden Future," an ur- ticle supplied by Mr. Iver, who was then Premier and Minister of Agri- culture. In that article, Mr. Lea

"You missed seme-

devoted "two short paragraphs to

rue CHARLOTTETOWN__ cuanouuv

duirylng and nine paragraphs to potato growing.” This, Mr. Arsen- ault maintained was not in accord with the Opposition leader's present attitude.

‘lho Opposition leader had also stated on many occasions that he had not much interest in horticul- turc and had frequently criticised him iMr. Arseuault) for refcrrln to tlr- cranberry industry. "

Public Worlu

All the Provinces of Canada now rixillze that permanent highway construction has been a. too expen- sive undertaking and they are lim- ithu; their activities in this (firec- tlen. ‘y

During the past year, this Clov- eminent has endeavoured to main- uuu all the highways in good con-i dizcu. Road machinery has beenl repaired or replaced when necessary. and the machines were put on the roads in the early spring when the’ bc a results could be obtained. -,

The heavier machines constructed i and ividened 289 miles of road. The ‘ lighter machines regradeu 565 miles of road while a total of 8,850 miles WE‘; c scraped and dragged with pow- er machines in addition to 7,030 miles which were dragged with split-log drag drawn by horses and trucks Fills were made on many of the roads graded by the larger machines. Mr. Arseuault commend- cd the good work done by the ma- chines last year, instanclng special cases where improvements had been made.

Mr. Leaz; "Why did you oppose our purchase of road machines?"

Hon. Mr. Arsenault: "We opposed the manner in which you purchased them."

Road Work

Continuing, Mr. Arsenault in- stanced good work done in road gravelling with local gravel, and in the construction of street. bridges and other undertakings outlined in the Public Works Report. Work on ,' the roads had been fairly well dis- tributed, both Conservatives and Liberals receiving the benefit of em- ploymcnt.

Mr. Lea: “Both Conservatives and some Liberals, you mean."

Hon. Mr. Arsenaultzv "Well, of’ course there are more Conservatives than Liberals." (Laughter).

Better Law Enforcement

Continuing he reviewed the or- ganization and activities of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in the Province during the past year. They had made effective efforts at law enforcement and among other things were able to stop the illicit importation of a large amount of rum.

Mr. LePagc: "Not: very much."

Hon. Mr. Arsenault: "It is esti- mated that only about 25 percent of the rum was landed last year that was landed in other years.

Mr. LcPage: "That was caused by the, depression."

“We believe," replied Mr. Arsen- ault, “that we have administered the Prohibition law with a large degree of satisfaction. Why do I say that? Because the hon. member from Rustlco,-thc “father of the Pro- hibition Act" as he has been called, who has always been so concerned about: prohibition enforcement, and has always been so critical about its enforcement when he is in opposi- tion, never once mentioned the sub- ject during his speech in the debate. That, Mr. Speaker, was u moss re- markable thing. Should we not be proud of ourselves when we have satisfied so ardent a. prohibition en- thusiast as the hon. member from Rustlco." (Laughter and applause).

Mr. Arsermult then rcfcncd to the Rustlco member's stutemrztt on the liabilities of the Province. “He chal- lcngcd us," said the Government member amid further laughter, "that he had the figures and his was the only way the Public Ac- counts could be twisted."

Mr. LcPage: "I said nothing of the kind.“

Mr. Arsenault proceeded to n- view the liabilities of the Province under both party governments, showing how expenditures had materially increased under Liberal administrations. He quoted Mr. McIntyres statement when Minis- ter of Public Works that; the time had come, not to reduce taxes or cut down expenditures, but to "broaden out."

Mr. McIntyre: "Wnsnt I right?"

Mr. LcPngc: “You certainly broadened out; last year."

Last; year, Mr. Arsenaull; pointed out. the Government was forced to erect a. public institution which would be an asset for all time to the community, but this emergency had not arisen under Liberal rule.

This Government will attempt to keep down expenditures as much as possible consistent with proper maintenance of public services, he declared.

Mounting Expenditures The cost of government in Can-

ada from Confederation to 1904 had been steadily ‘but moderately m.

In lﬂlordinnry expenditures, fed- eral. Provincial and municlpll bad managed 1:9 $920,000, , or $88.88 P" MIMI. From 1913 in I931 the Dominion Government debt bad in- crﬂu-sed 82.127.033.143, the Provin- cial governments $1,090,000,000, and municipal governments $1,014,000,- 000.

The total cost of Government has increased at an unreasonable rate in comparison with the revenue derived mm our basic industries.

It was not correct w say that the War had caused the depression. We received in war taxes more than we had expended federally on the war. Tho Provinces and municipal- iuu am outrun; to do with m» m debt but showed the some pro- portional increase.

This Province had lost much in; the past in financing seed grain‘ and other enterprises. It will be some time before the people um educated not t0 expect too much from governments. ‘There were many legitimate fields of activity where private enterprise should be allowed to develop.

Mr. Arsenault believed the time had come when the Opposition should be less critical and should not attempt to poison the public mind and plant seeds of distrust and suspicion in a time of distress and suffering which was general throughout the world. We should all endeavor to teach the respons- ibility of co-operation among neighbors and communities. He in- stanced grave economic iniustiecs which had, prevailed throughout the world and which had largely con- tributed to the present depression. Our recovery from the depression, he predicted, may be slow, but it will be lasting. -

MR. L. R. ALLEN

Mr. L. R. Allen, Liberal member for 5th Prince, tendered sympathy to the Premier on "his enforced ab- sence, and said he was glad to re- port that the member-elect for Fifth Prince (Dr. MacNeill) would take his seat next week.

There are at least five widows of former members representing the district: living today in Prince County, Mr. Allen pointed out.

Reference was then made to the byelection held last year in his dis- trict. The Conservative pre-elec- tlon convention, he said, had end- ed "in almost a riot." The lute Mr. Downing, the Conservative can- didate, was a. personal friend of the speaker's. It was generally under- stood that Mr. Downing would get the portfolio made vacant by the death of Hon. Mr. McNelll‘. When Mr. Downing was refused this posi- tion the Liberals nominated a can- didate and eventually won the el- ection. Mr. Allen declared that Dr. MacNelll, the Liberal candidate, was not elected on Liberal votes, but on the votes of former Con- servatives who were disappointed because Mr. Downing had been turned down.

Mr. Allen charged that a consid- erable amount of political road- work had been done in the ‘by- election campaign. The money spent on one section of this road, he admitted, had been "well spent." In other road work in the district the Government had failed to use “the ordinary intelligence that is given to a few of us" and-spent money extravagantly.

The steps leading up tothe‘ 1n- auguratlon of a High School at Summersidc were then dealt with. Mr. Allen referred to the resolution of the School Trustees thanking the Minister of Public Works for his efforts in establishing the High School. He had been criticised “by some who were a. little bit. biased" for introducing this resolution in the legislature, but he was satisfied to take their criticism as he had only dam: what he considered to be his duty.

Not “lxfnvs¢ant"

lifrfAllcn regretted that at the opening of thc High school the Minister of Education should have launched into politics, and should charge him (Mr. Allen) with say- 1118 that Dr. Macmillan was. an ex- travagant Minister. Later Mr. Al- len had been stopped on the street by people and was asked “why did Y0" ﬁhﬂfle the Minister with being extravagant?” Mr. Allen maintain- ed he had made no such charge. The least thb Minister could do wls to say that he had not been refer- ring to the member from the Fifth District. _

Hon. Dr. MacMlllan: “If my hon. friend says that I am not an ex- travagant Minister of Education I certainly shall take his word for it. It is some satisfaction to know first there 1s___oue member of the Oppo- sition who believes that. I um not extravagant.

Mr. McIntyre: "He is not telling the truth."

Mr. Allen: “He may not be an extravnaanz Minister but he u a "W "Xwnsiv- M‘ ' r. There is n.

creasing. The period from i904 to

1913 showed umrked acceleration.

bll difference between the two. (Laughter). An extravagant Minin-

tet i/ wasteful; an otpengg um“. tor is one who has high ideals and hi! Mull may be lust n. little too high for the welfare of the Prov- lnce."

Hon. Dr. Macmillan: hair-splitting."

Mr. Allen commended the Gov- ernment for its contribution to the Tourist Association. He stressed the need of having the car ferry rate 0n automobiles reduced. The 20 per cent freight rate discount should be allowed On automobiles crossing to the Province, he umintained. The actual cost of transporting an automobile today on the cur ferry scarcely amounts to 35 cents and a $3.00 rate return would be quite sufficient. '

The people of Summerride had been working on a project. to trans- port from Charlottetown to Buni- morsido the visitors who would ar-

“That i!

rive here on theB. B. Gupesis and claimed that this service would be interfered with by the Act passed at this session with Iﬂﬂlfd to il- cenaiug of passenger motor vehicles.

Various aspects . of the federal budget were criticised by the speak- er.

Mr. Allen proceeded to compare funded debt and expenditures in 1930 and 1932.

Hon. Mr. MacPheo asked if his figures for 1930 included relief ex- penditures. “ tMr. Allen replied that he was raking the figures from the blue books. The questi being repeated. he said the hon. member would find out later on.

Hon. Mr. MacPhee: friend does not know?"

Mr. Allen: “The chances are that the hon. member knows u much about it as the hon. member who is asking the question."

Hon. Mr. MacPheo: "But you are not prepared to umwer."

Mr. Allen: "I could ask you a question that you will never ans- wer."

Hon. Mr. MacPhee: "I try not to talk about those things."

Continuing, Mr. Allen mid he questioned very much if the Bank overdraft of a million and a quar- ter dollars had been liquidated all at once. 1f the manager of th! bank had forced the Government to do so, he was the beat debt col- lector Mr. Allen had ever heard of.

“My hon.

External Audits

The Government, he complained, had had no external audit thi: year, though they had- much to say about external audits when in Op- position. 4

Hon. Dr. MacMillan: "Who cut out the External Auditor?"

Mr. Allen: "We are not concern- edabout who cut it out. We are asking now for a report of an Ex-

ternal Audit from a. party who was

particularly anxious that we should have one when we were in power."

Hon. Dr. MacMillan: “The ques- tion ls quite simple. Who cut out the External Auditor?"

Mr. McIntyre: "You are cuttiﬂ! it out if you won't huvyit this year." ' ' .

Hon. Dr. MacMlllan: "I am uk- fng the member from Bummeraid- a simple question. Who cut out the External Auditor?"

Mr. Allen: "So far as I under- stand, he is not cut out. He is al- ways available. It is simply a mat.- ter of engaging him." '

Hon. Dr. MaoMilla-n: "Who cens- cd the IJIBGHSQ of having a report by the External Auditor presented to this House?"

Mr. Allen: "I would say the pres- ent Government, because the last External Audit was on August 29, 1931, and you have been in power ever since.

Hon. Dr. MacMlllan: "My hon. friend knows very well that is not an answer to the question. He knows that the Government he

, supported from 1927 to 1931 was the

Government that cut out the Ex- ternal Auditor. Decause there has been an external audit; made by the party coming into power at the end of the term of every other Government has no relevancy at all."

Mr. Lea: "This is going too far. My hon. friend. can't make u speech." _ .

Mr. Allen: “I am not considering it seriously at all."

Mr. Lea: "Tell him we object. You are not making any objection at all." (Laughter).

Hon. Dr. MacMillan: "Is my hon. friend making a. speech now?" (In- creased laughter).

Mr. Allen: “I have a right to make my speech and I will con- ttnuc."

Figuring up the liabilities, he naalntaincd that these had been in-

prcseut Government. A loss was incurred of $19,301 on other items, he said, including u lapsed policy on Faloonwood Hoe- pital for $11,750. Hon. Dr. MacMfl- lan denied the accuracy of than tatemcnta. Work on the Morris Bridge, Mr. Allen continued had cost $1000

It wll all ﬁght to laugh at cranberries but there was a source of avenue which had never been touche‘, Mr- Allen said. H1 could assure the House that tndru there no firms in the Province ad- vertising for cranberries. They an being fmportedlhere. Why should not Island producers be encourag- ed to glow cranberries?

The Conservatives, Mr. Allen claimed. had "killed" the canned bums industry. continuing, he re- ferred in the present Minister of Agriculture as having convussed the lust election on the ground that he would be appointed to the Agricultural portfolio.

Hon. Mr. MacNutt said he had made no such canvass. _

Mr. Allen accepted the Minis- ter's statement. He suggested that
