Electorate are kept in the dark too much by this Liberal Government. He then states that a fifth session might be noisy and unsatisfactory. I pcrsume he means unsatisfactory to the Liberal Government. 1 quite agree with this last statement, it being about the only correct state- -msnt a! his whole held hour speech that night; for from the speeches of several Liberal Mean- bers of the Legislature at the last session it would appear that a fifth session would indeed be noisy and unsatisfactory to their adminis- tration. which could not without doubt survive another session. But. my own opinion is that they have a far deeper and darker reason than any given by the Premier. We all remember s0 well and especially those of us who had sons and daughters in ths services that when the last Provincial Election was held under this Government all our Boys and Girls overseas were deprived of their right and privilege to exercise their fran- chise at that time. So now that all those who were not called upon to make the supreme sacrifice by laying down their lives for Free- dom and the right. to vote, have returned home and cannot be de- prived oY this privilege and right. This Government calls an Election on Dec llth. when they know a great number o1 our older people will not be able to vote against them, For I find in my canvass that many older people especially those at. a, distance from the Polls, express their depest regret 0f the fact that they are afraid they will not be physically able to go to the Polls to cast a Vote for the Progressive Conser- vative candidate. on account of the cold and possibly bad roads and stormy weather. Still they claim this is Democracy? They might just as vrcll have passed an Act. by order in council; if they wish prohibiting all old people from voting as to dis-franchise them in this underhanded and unnecesss _. manner.’

A great deal ls being raid about all the work on our roads. I won- der if people resliu the cost per mile, or the cost per load of gravel placed on the roads. I know a lot of time is being put in and a lot of gravel hauled, but what por- tion goos on the roads. On one project within five miles of my hcme I know where gravel has been placed on private lanes and around private homes, in some cases as many as twenty-nine loads to one person. This is not hearsay for I have seen the Gravel rind have seen the checkers figures for every loud. I would like to have the Minister of Public. Works show us where his Dept. has bean paid for this gravel, Pri- vate lanes have been machined slid gravelied, as well as Ttirnips pulled Manure, composts built. Boats Hauler! up. and even Poultry dressed by men working on the Government's time. So if they spend $5.000 on s project about one third of the cost goes for private bebeflt. Who I ask wants public funds expended in llhis manner. I want to emphasize that I am not finding fault with tho amount of money spent by the Dcpt. of Public Works, I say they do not spend enough, But l do say that it should be expended on the Roads and Bridges, not on private property.

You will remember the great promises o1 the 1943 campaign

meeting nui- Minister of Public Works stated that when the next election would be held you will be coming in there on paved roads and from more than one direction. He must have been thinking of going straight up or perhBPS l-lle other way. for I am sure he cen- not get there on the level 0h paved roads 1n fact it is almost impossible to get. there at all at the present time. I tried it a 10W nights ago and know what I am talking about. I Wonder what statements he will make this time if he makes any at all for there has been no sign of hlm in that locality as yet. There has not been one foot of pavement laid. and the clay roads have not even been kept in repair except for some work last fail just before the By- Election. and then aalln this fall when there is s senarll election pending, the machines and men are out everywhere, They sure are mending the money now. But as to the wisdom qt stlrlng up mud repairing private lanes and making everythinl in general disagreeable at this time of your. I leave that to the judgment of the Electorate.

We propose in our Platfornl. that being fully appraised to the im- portsnt contribution Good Roads can make tn the economic PIOBPH- ity of our Province, and especially conscious oi the utter inadequacy of the service provided for the put ten your in this respect by the Department of Public Works. the Progressive Conservative Party will, when elected, completely re- volutionise the Road Policy o! ill! present administration.

We will incorporate in the duties d! such road patrol the supervis- ion of all Railway Level Crossings and similar points of hazard on travelled roads and highways to the effect tha all obstructions to visions shall be removed for a sufficient distance as to render such points free of avoidable dan- ger. Our Premier in his speech oi the 14th, admits that our road programme as outlined above would be an improvement over the present system but they are not efficient enough to adopt such s policy for the good of our roads and Province.

I Just want to mention this pro- ject. and to state that I feel this a very necessary and important undertaking for the economic deve- lopment of West Prince and it will be my greatest endeavour to! have this inaugurated with Govern-i ment aid. Not now. not on the eve of the next Election. but in‘ 1M8. when this should be done as well as the road paved to the ferry, and good gravel roads leading to the pavement. '

This has been exploited by the Liberals for their benefit in the 1M3 campaign, and nothing whatever done since other than the purchase, of n few poles and other supplies‘ which were piled up to detoriate and rot. at a cost of Seventeen Thousand Dollars as stated by, our Premier, and since sold to the Town of Summerslde at ‘a great sacrifice, It will be my privilege lo help inaugurate Rural Electri- fication which our Party is pledged to do on a sound and equitable basis. It is only those of us who enjoy the privileges of electricity, that can really appreciate its great benefits. and I want to see Electricity made available to every rural home in Prince Edward Is-l land.

Then the feed subsidies were removed and prices soared well over l. dollar a bag.

Farmers‘ Interests Betrayed

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a betrayal of our farmers by the Federal Government. W's were begged and exhorted to increase our produytion and when we did so we were suddenly confronted with such excessive feed costs that all profits have gone by the

board.

Poultry feed prices have been higher all the year than previous- .Y. yet thirty-one cents is the righest price paid as compared ivith thirty-three cents last year. 1n addition the scarcity of feed meant that much has been mar ksted in an unfinished condition for which the price is very low. We have lost thousands of dollars cn our poultry alone and even our llfinistm- of Agriculture in his ad- dress admitted that the margin of profit had vanished from egg pro- duction.

Young pigs are depressed in price and some have been slaugh- tered at birth. In the midst of this demoralizing situation Mr. Gar- diner, our Federal Minister of Agriculture visited us on Novem-

' lner 4th. We all looked forward to

Old Age Pensions

Inaugerated by the Progressive Conservative Party, and since mis- managed by the Liberal Administ- eration, we propose and are pre- pflrcd to ask for and fight for the‘ right of every person over Sixty- Five years of age to receive the Old Age Pension without any lien on their property or any mean test of any‘ kind whatever. This means that when you become Sixty-U Five years of age you apply for and receive the pension.

When the family allowance Act ‘ was passed all major parties in the t Commons including the Progressive lConservative Party supported the lbill and voted for the passage of l the Act. So when Liberal hlrelings’ go around the country saying that -.ve will do away with Family Allowances if elected, you may know that they are grasping for, the last straw, and would do that- very thing themselves ‘ if they thought they would gsln a few_ votes by it. No ladies and gentle- men we are not small enough to suggest such a thing, but we will say that any change that make in the Family Allowance Act will be for the continuance of the allowance to Children who are attending lligh School or Collhgf‘. and not stopped when a child becomes Sixteen years old as ls done at the present time.

I have every, respect for and admiration of these Candidates. and I beilwethey are sincere in their undertaking. but I wonder if they have given full consideration to the Aims and De- mands of the C. C. F. or Socialism which basically is denial of the I right to private property. I do not

feel that these-Candidates realize the seriousness of their claims, for we cannot have the right to private property denied from any class without denying this same right to all classes such as Farmers. Fishermen. Ranchers, small Bus- inessmen and the likc. Friends think seriously on this point. In closing I respectfully ask your support on Dec. 11th, for my Colleague. Mr. Foster Sharp and Myself.

his addreSs to give us an answer t the conundrum posed by the decree from Ottawa. but the only stlution he had was that we must grow our own- we had known it before. A nice retort to give in, November, and can we raise the stock we have now on next year's crop?

Premier J. Walter Jones reiter- ated Mr. Gal-diners statement in his address and says that i! the 12.000 farmers each grew four acres more of graln.'oug_:,@toed~ be ‘solved. On paper. yes, but he tvell knows it is not practical; just a glib way o‘ polishing it over for those who don't know only better.

The small farmer has had diffi- culty making ends meet_ anyway and now with such restricted prof- ils he will just board up the house and we'll have not another but many more abandoned farms.

l’ would also remind Mr. Jones that our farms are not elastic. If we grow more grain we grow icss liny or roofs and the-y are good feed too. A_s__ for potatoes, we never know where we stand until come to sell our crop. Last year there was -a surplus, this year there is a market for every_po- tato we have. Next year-well your guess is as good as mine.

We are not big farmers—just average like many more around. We have bought twelve tons of feed this year. Wouldn't it be

, grand to grow that on four acres.

The policy which Mr. Gardiner and Mr. Jones are advocating would mean restricted production. restricted profits and that at a. time when everything we buy has soared in price. I don't hear any more about feeding the hungry in Europe. I think the Government's attitude now is that Britain can starve and we can face prlvatlon too.

Feed subsidies should have been continued. Britain is passing through a serious economic crisis in re-establishing herself after tile ravages of war but still sub-‘ sidises’ agriculture to encourage farming and hold down the cost of living and so should we.

Hardest Hit

Did you ever stop to think that toe three provinces hardest hit by this Liberal policy are New Bruns- wick. Nova Scotia and Prince Ed- ward Island. the only three Liberal Provinces in Canada? Evidently Ottawa thinks we are such dyed- in-the-woo], Liberals that we'll take every knock she gives us and si-ill vote Liberal. Farmers. let's open their eyes on December 11th! Let us show them they can't do tl.ls to its and get away with itl

Frankly. I believe before the Dominion Provincial Agricultural Conference, now in session, con- cludes there will be some change or modification made. The Liberal Government cannot persist in their course which will ruin our live- stock industry at a time ivhon there is urgent need of every pound of meat we can raise to meet the European emergency.

One fourth of the people of Canada are farmers or their de- pendents. With their purchasing power drastically lowered the whole economic structure will be shaken.

Many times during the past few years we have questioned the set- fons of the Liberal Government but their present policy of remov- mg feed grain subsidies just spells disaster to our farmers-a tie- liherate man-made disaster. Fed- eral politics some all ll. Ind

this is a provincial election. True. but if you can tell ms something more local than our bread and butter 1 would like to hear it.

We hear much talk from the Liberals about keeping the Gov- ernments in line. Now is our chance. Let us elect a Progressive Conservative Government here next week and when the Federal election rolls around an outraged fsim population will send the Lib- erals to the defeat they merit.

Premier- Jones and his candidates cite quite a list of benefits they have brought to Prince Edward lrland. With the greatly increas- ed rearenue they have been spend- ing for several years it would be pretty bad if they could not point to some improvements, but what have thety done to instruct our farmers in more efficient farming methods?

Several Provinces have agricul- tural advisers who move around among the farmers contacting them personally and helping them improve their land their crops and their livestock and this is one of the many benefits which Dr W J. P. Maclviillan will give the farmers when he is returned to power. This is a practical way of aiding us to produce profitably vlhen excessive feed costs, ex- cessive cost of implements. ex- cessive cost of labour, excessive living costs and control of all our selling prices reduce the margin of profits so severely that without this expert assistance we cannot survive.
