, Note This Farmers. Please ' ‘ __i_,________ The Hon. Bona Dussault, Minister of Agri- culture in the Duplcssis Government, Quebec. called a conference of representatives of agri’ cultural organizations, etc., to discuss farm pro- blems in hlontreal. Whatever else he may be Mr. Dussault is not a Liberal, nor is the Du- plessis Government Liberal. In virtue of the tact that he is President of the Maritime Chamber of Agrictilturefand chairman of the P. E. I. Live Stock Board, neither of which have any Liberal affiliations. Mr. W. Reid, Middleton, was invited to attend the Conference, which discussed farm problems from every angle. Mr. Reid is a Liberal in politics. and the other day was induced to prostitute his well knoivn abilities as an agriculturalist in the in- terest of Liberal propaganda. The Liberals had no more to do with the Conference in question than had the Queen of Sheba .Yet in his recent address on behalf of the Liberals, Mr_ Reid saw fit to work in a policy of farm rehabilitation the main features of which the Campbell Government stole holus bolus from The Guardian, and claimed that that was the agricultural platform of the down-and- out aggregation now appealing to the electorate on their record. Farmers should bear in mind that the Campbell Government had four years in which to develop a. farm policy, but left it to the last moment before placing a planon the statute book, and even then so incomplete and unsatis- factory that it is never likely to be put in-to ef- fect. Their farm policy like their I935 "balance the budget” policy is for show window purposes, ind intended merely as a dodge to fool the doctorate once more. '

Frantic Liberal Campaigning

Frantic efforts are being made by the dis- credited Campbell Government members and iupporters to offset the verdict of the people. From many quarters comes word of a. most un- scrupulouscampaign directed towards winning voteson fishermne's loans and old age pen- sions. The recipients of these payments are be- mg told that their livelihood depends on voting Liberal. Circulars are being sent out to them, misrepresenting Conservative policies and past performances in the matter of relief payments.

In‘ the case of old age pensions, an increase in pension payments to $20 a month has bum promised, and rumor has it that this months’ cheques‘ are made out for that amount. Each Liberal candidate is supplied with an exclusive list of the old age pensioners and fishermen ob- taiiiing relief payments in his district, with in- structions to make his canvass accordingly.

Despite this unfair advantage at the taxpay- ersicxpense, the Liberal canvass is reported to be anything but successful. The fishermen and aged pensioners have long memories The fish- ermen remember that it was markets, not “dirty dole”, that they were promised in 1935 and that it was under the Bennett Government that the machinery for fishermen's loans ivas first put through Parliament. The old age pensioners re- member that it was under the Stewart-MacMil- lan Government that pensions were first paid in this Province that they were fooled once by a Liberal election promise, and had to ilvait foilr years fut‘ the return of the Stewart- Mach/lillzin Government in order to obtain their first pension payments.

Our fishermen and old age pensioners may rest assured that they will betreated with as riiuch consiilcraiiuii by the incoming Macbfillail Government as they have been by any Liberal Govcrnmc-ni. and that ally statements made lo them to tlie contrary are absolute falsehoods.

"The Fundamental Question"

The brief presented by the Campbell Gov- ernment to the Rowell Commission on Domin- ion-Provincial relations in February, i938, em- phasized "tlie fundamental question of fiscal need" as outlined by Chief ji rice Mathieson in his minority report of the White Commission in i937. The budgetary requirements of the Province were given in detail, and it was sub- mitted that in order to establish the public ser- mvices on the basis of a minimum reasonable _ . standard. thevpresent provincial resources would

.5 require to be supplemented by not less than $606,513 annually. This apart from special grants needed for fishery services, permanent 'nstritction, etc. The practical limits , of. proviii lil taxation having been “already ' reached, or even passed," it was submitted that dnlysolutlon would-appear to<b'e" further as stance from the Dominion Government.

The Conservative appeal is not based wholly on its record of achievement. That speaks for itself. Its appeal to the electors today is for the future. The izth plank in the Conservative platform reads: “Having in i935 established our claims against the Dominion Government to the extentof three million dol- lars, giving this Province an increased subsidy of $150,000 annually, we will continue to press for a full realization of our claims on the basis of the minority report of the White Com- mission." Which Party Government achieving this result?

Road Work Will Go On

Another backdoor Liberal campaign was an- swered by Dr. MacMillan in his speech en- unciating the Conservative platform We quote his words again: .

“They say, ‘You can't turn us out now be- cause Their Majesties the King and Queen are ‘coming, and we will remain in power anyway, no matter if we are beaten at the polls. And rumor now is that the threat is i being made: ‘We will remain in power even three months, so that the time for work on the roads in this Province will be gone, the summer will be over and the MacMillan Government, if they are elected, will not be in power, so that there will be no chance to work on the roads; no chance for the man who has a truck to be able tp earn a dollar.’ 4

“That is the kind of propaganda that is being used. But let the people be well advised, if the Campbell Government is§beaten on May i8—as there is every indication they will be-if they attempt to remain in power an undue length of time the people 0f this Province will go over to the Provincial Building and throw them out.

“I don't think they will even wait for the Governor of this Province to exercise his pre- rogative and deal with a. beaten government at the polls. So don't pay any attention to that propaganda. The Premier has called the time and let him dance to the music now.”

Reluctant Supporters

A surprising alibi was advanced by Mr. George E. Saville at the Georgetown meeting when he asked the audience not to blame him and his colleague, Mr. Wade Hughes, for with- holding right of appeal to the courts in land ex" propriation cases. He and Mr. Hughes, he said, had both voted against this measure and they would “vote against it again." '

This was a sad let-down for Premier Camp- bell, who had come to help his-candidates out and had laboured to explain that the expropria- tion proceedings were in accord with British justice. .

His arguments were subjected to devastat- ing analysis by Mr. Mathieson and Mr. Frank MacPhee. The Premier must have felt that this was bad enough without his own candidates lining up against hirn, and pleading‘ with the audience for support on the ground that they too were opposed to his legislation.

As a matter of fact, neither Mr. Hughes nor Mr_ Savilleopposed the National Park Act, for it was put through without any division. It was only alter- Gie indignation throughout the coun- try became apparent that they began concocting alibis. ' ' '

To give Mr. Hughes credit, he opposed many of the ‘more obnoxious pieces of legislation in- troduced by his own Government, but never with any success. He was always eitheruvgted do\vn, or coniviently stayed away when the vot- ing took place. He was as ineffectual as a glass of water at a brewers‘ banquet. Why he is run- ning again as a Government supporter is a my- stery to everybody. At Georgetown he sat back and let the Premier make his speech, and while the expression on his face may have been our: of enthusiastic indorsation, it certainly didn't conyey that impression to the audience.

Statements Under Oath

Premier Campbell is quoted as denying, at the Tyne Valley meeting, the, authenticity of the evidence given by his own undercover liquor in- vcstigator, the sic-called "Belgian Count," to the effect that he had received $100 bills and other

pacity of Attorney General. ' , * ' . , Hubin's evidence given before‘ Magistrate

Tweedy on Oct. ii, i938, contains the follow-

ing statemeiits: "I got two $100 bills from the

Attorney General down on Dorchester Street." "Don't know the amount I received,‘ perli $1,000 $i,aoo." Agiiiliuimgiving evidence in t in Charlottetown Hubin testified the ‘money to buy liquor with from th My “Getterall” fLiquor aupplietk ‘their! y I women) was bought: with Attorney rot’! money)! “I contacted Attorney (letieml ipér all ‘, received mympiieytyoin ‘ ’ ’ ‘ hreejdiiys yr M elm.
