would most likely conclude that his horse was still a horse and that I was the donkey. Yesterday. a very beautiful and charming young lady said to me: “The C.C.P. is Communism. Provs to me that it is not Communism." And. ivhile she used her powder put! to restore a shiny nose to its cosmetic loveliness. I began: "It dues not look like Communism and they do not act like Communists" "Oh. that's JllSt it," she replied (replacing her compact in her purse) "they don't act like Com- munists." Sir, the very opposite is true. The most peculiar, re- grettable and sorrowful thing a- bout Communist parties every- where is this-they act. just like Communists. They come to power _' by force and by bloody revolution. , The 0.0.1“. has no resemblance

_ - to them. The C.C.F. comes to 1 power in the most democratic and Christian manner-not even by the bribery of liquor and money on clection day. The Commun- ists do not hold free elections. Neither do our old parties when they use pressure-—alcoholic or financial. "But, if the C C. F. is not Com- munism," they shout, "it will lead to Communism."

If Communism should come to this land it will not be because of the C. C. F. but in spite of it. The C.C.F. is doing more than any other party to keep Communism away. Communism, simply stated is the denial of the principles of Christianity and of democracy. If therefore follows that they who deny the principles of Christianity and democracy are not fighting Communism but helping it; Thcy do_ deny these principles who bu‘; votes, and afterwards deal iii po- litical patronage and graft. It therefore follows that these (Vti IIIIB parties who indulge in such corrupt practices are not fighting Communism but helping it. ViFncn we as individuals break the moral law we are denying the principles of Christianity. But when we as an organized group. as a political party or as a government. publicly and collectively break the moral law and deny Christian principles. we are offering an organized in- sult to God. This is the very os- sence of Communism. We cannot disregard the principles of Chris- tianity in public life any more than we can iii private lifc and escape the. penalty. When we do. we get-get just what we have gotten-vwar internationally, in- dustrial war. strikes. confusion. povcrty and misery at home. You

the fiscal need of the Province. All arguments, ladies and gentle- men, of a financial nature pre- sented from this Province to Ot- tawa are based on our fiscal need. Thai. was the argument of the ablest Premier this Province ever had. the ‘late Hon. J. A. Math- eson. when he went to Ottawa. That was my argument and it was Premier Joness because there is no other. Yet, when he was speak- illg on the Budget las't April 24. he told the apposition that ‘em- phasis on fiscal need was out of date‘.

"The facts of the matter. ladies and gentlemen, are that the Pre- mier asked Ottawa for $3,040,000 ivhich. under the circumstances I have pointed out to you, was lit- tle enough. and got. two-thirds of if. Yet- he says we must keep the local Government in line with Ottawa. Well. they have been in llhe for n long time. They were in lirie when the Dominion Gov- ernment damaged our highways to the extent. of 3130.000 during the war. But Mr. Brtrbours De- partmcnt settled for $80,000. That's what keeping in line did for you-a clean loss of 350.000 on one little item.

Fictitious Surpiuses

"You have heard the Hon. Wade I-lughes tell you of those wonder- ful surpluscs in his campaign speeches. Well, you can have big surpluses in any business if you only give your receipts and forget to mention your capital expend- itures. lvfr. Hughes says that Lill- dcr the Campbell Government of 193B there was a surplus of $139,- 000. Ladies and gentlemen, their deficit that. year was $1,249,000. In 1935., 1111'. Hughes says there was a surplus of $84,000; but the truth is they had a deficit that year of $1,768,000.

“1 could go on and on. Iii 1945. Mr. Hughes said they had a sur- plus of $468,000 ivhcreas..." Premier Jones: "Vlhcre are you getting those figures? what arc you reading from?"

Dr. MacMillnn: "I'm leading them from the Guardian. That paper is all right with you is it not?" tLauglitei- and applause). Rcsuming his address, Mac- Millan said that the Liberals had a surplus in i045 of 8463.000, ac- cording to Mi" llufzhcs. whereas the truth was they had a deficit

of $745,000. “But. this year." coii- linucd Dr. MacMillnn. "they are really coin: in go to iown. The

Prcmicrsayxs fhry will have a sur- plus nf three-quarters of a hill- hon; instead they will have iiii- niher dcficit oi’ more than n mil- lion and n half"

No Budget Speeches

Dr ltlsifivlillan charged that Government by democratic prin- ciples had clisrippezircd under the Jones rcginic. For ihc past four _veai-r. there had becn no Budget speech. Last year. the Hon. Wade Hughes had usccl I7 minutes in giving the House some figures on the financial condition of the Gov- crnmciii.

“When I asked Mr. Hughes." Dr. MacMillsn said, "to explain this strange situation to me; he had replied that he had never de- lvered a Budget speech, that it was not his duty to do it, that he had iio authority to do it, and that such a speech was the re- sponsibility of the Premier.

Dr. MacMillan continued by saying: _“I said a moment ago that the Jones Government had noth- ing to do with putting through that potato deal. I repeat that. That deal was put through solely by the ability and initiative of Wilfred Boulter who went to Ot- tawa and conferred with the offic- ials who had the authority to close the bargain."

Soaring Feed Prices

“How are you farmers getting along in the hog business? In the chicken business? Are you making any money at it now? Why not? Did not Mr. Gardiner tell you to go ahead and raise all the bacon and eggs you could for the heroic people of Britain? Yet.\vhen under this wonderful Government at Ot- tawa the prices of your feed be- gan to jump by leaps and bounds so that a profit was no longer possible-when it got to the point ivhcre it is now when you have to kill off your young pigs to save yourselves from a ruinous loss~ what did Mr. Gardiner do? You know what. ho did! He came down here and told you to solve your problem ,by growing your own feed. Thai. was his solution. the Minister of Agriculture!

"What are you going to do from now until next fall? Did Mi: Gardiner give you any solution? Remember, 1 don't say this situ- ation is the fault of Premier Jones and his Government. though I do think he should have gone into action about it long ago and not attempted at the last hour before an election to persuade you the Dominion Government will straighten it all out within a few weeks. But I do say this feed sit- uation is the fault of Mr. Gard- iner and the Dominion Govern- ment with which you are told to keep in line.

“The facts are that Ottawa does not care one whit for the Mari- times. You can see that from the Speech from the Throne delivered a few davs ago when Parliament opened. Did the Speech include one single thing for the Marl- tlmes? It did include some fav- ours for the Western wheat grow- But Mr. Gardiner is from that section of the country. l-Ie is

Mr. H. 8.

Mi‘- Francis said, “we can now prom- ise you a great amount of work will be done in this District dur- log the next four years." The building of a bait freezer for the Sourls fishermen was an urgent matter, Mr. Francis said. and his Government intended to take the matter up with Ottawa as soon ns they were returned to power on Dec. I1 Mr. Francis said his Govern- ment during the past four years had spent large sums of money in the Department of Health and Welfare, in the development of agriculture, and in all other de- partmentswhich were minister-in ta the welfare of the people. De- spitc those expenditures, the Gov- ernment would have a surplus this year of over $800,000. Mr. Francis said.
