‘the protect were open to the Gov-

ernment, Premier Bennett said. The

first was that the present manage-

ment might secure financial back-

ing and proceed with the undertak-

ing. He believed this was improb- able. The second was that the pro- perty be operated by Quebec Pro- vince under a public commission. The Prime Minister doubted that. this was probable. The third was for the dominion to take over the pro- ject and operate it es a public ut- ility. Legal difficulties stood in the way and Premier Bennett made lt. clear that he had no intention of adopting this alternative. The fourth was the reorganization of the com- pony. New conditions would be created by an act of Parliament which must. be lived up to.

OTTAWA, om, July 3l—-Thc outclde public ls far from satlsiled with the result of the Benuharuols investigation, sold J. S. Weeds- worth, Labor member for Winnipeg North centre, in the House of Com- mons today. In the first p‘ace the public demand punishment for those who had offended; secondly it demanded or at least a considerable body demanded that thc project be carried on under public owner- ship; finally, the public demanded that, legislation which would rend- er such things impossible in the future, should be passed.

Mr. Bennett Speaks

OTTAWA, om, July ar-‘speck- lng on the Beauharnols report in the House of Commons this after- noon, Premicr R. B. Bennett said that for three hours and a half yefistcrday the Opposition leader had. attempted to throw up a “smoke screen" to prevent the mat- ter being discussed. He had never heard a speech in which there were so many irrelevanclcs. Mr. King had devoted a great deal of time co defending himself. "He was not on trial,” arserted the prime minister- "lf he wanted to give evidence, why did he not. appear before the conlmittee and give lt under oath.

Concerning restitution, Parlia- ment had no control, said Mr. Ben nett. It could not institute clvll proceedings for restitution. Crimin- al prosecution was a mutter for the provinces but because the dep- uty attorney general oi Quebec had been retained by Besuharnlos “I am satisfied there will be none". Answering a question by Hon, W, D. Euler, (Lib. Waterloo North) as to why detailed piano sf Beauhsrn- 01s had not been approved by the Government. The Premier, reading from the Order in Council com- mented a question of law was in- volved. It was that, where a dele- gated power is exercised by a min- ister, did the minister have the authority to exercise that power when the period in which the plans might be fllcd had expired? The promoters of Beauharnols had tak- en the view, in connection with the prosecution of their works, that all they were doing was merely digging a ditch on their own lands. 1f the 0mm!!!’ was carrying on without lPDTWBl- Why. asked Mr. Euler fur-

Quebec claimed jurisdiction over the portion of the St. Lavzrence within its borders. The Privy Council had decided that the bed of the river belonged to the Prov- ince. ll; was then a question of the right of Quebec to the water. That had not yct been decided. The Do- minion had paramount right of navl gallon‘, and there must, he thought never be any doubt that; there was no power under the navigable ivatcrs protection act for approval of plans such as Bcauhcrnols had filed. As a matter of fact the plans were prepared with a view to tak- ing in the whole flow of the River St. Lawrence, or, in other words, to turning w-hat yesterday was the St. Lawrence into the Bcauharncis

Canal of today.

the future, nor was the government who followed such s. policy playing fair. '

Mr. S. S. Hessian, in opening, re- plied to the question of Mr. l-lun- ter of why the Saunders-Lea Gov- ernment. had not implemented their promise to give old age pensions by the old trick of asking another question. Hc gave the credit of the interim subsidy of $125,000 yearly to the King Government. $40000 1n railway tax also had increased the revenue oi the Liberal Government. The speaker wearled the audience with figures showing how the mon- ey had been expended by the Gov- crnment.

Mr. Hessian stated that the day for. standing on the platform to de- =81“ the l1¢°l1ie had long since passed by.

Unnecessary to Press Claims

Eoono Neoelsory

m. a. c. sicrnee, after express- ing pleasure at. seems such o 1111119 audience, thanked the people for the support given him in the Dist’... He pointed out. that in view o! nerlolu world conditions. and. in view of the necessity of individuals poring their expenditures. s. Government should be placed in power that would practice econ-om)’. it Government which would have at. least the wei- fnre of the Province. 1f the Liberal Government were returned, it will not in the next. tour years in the msune in which acted lu the last". four years, as the Government was appealing on its record. 1t would

be necessary then to uuE-Sblgfltfl the ,

record of the Government. Bash Expenditures

Vast expenditures have been made ever since December, 1930, when the liabilities of the Province were I762,- 000. The liabilities hsdincressed despite a greatly increased revenue enjoyed by the present Government. In addition to the revenue referred to by Mr. Mustard there were also revenues which tar exceeded the small reduction in one department which Mr. Mustard had mentioned.

The Government may be expect- ed to increase its liabilities, as it comes to the people on its record. Those liabilities, through the sink- ing funds, must be met. either by the money o! the people or by increased subsidy from Ottawa.

In 1927 the Liberals had made a promise, affecting the people of Montague, that incorporated towns should receive their shares of the $40,000 of railway taxes. True, leg- islation had been enacted at. the last session, but the money had not yet been received. The promise had been broken.

Liberal Inconsistency

The attitude of the Conservatives relative to the Prohibition Act was charged by the Liberals with being inconsistent, Mr. McPhee, stated. Four years ago the Conservatives presented their platform fairly and squarely, but the Liberals, while supporting prohibition, agreed upon a. plebiscite. The party was incon- sistent as well as insincere. Ifthcy were sincere in their support of Prohibition, ‘wily am they agree to hold a. plebiscite. The Liberal Gov- ernment had slgnally failed to ad- minister the Prohibition Act, and in that connection presented a re- cord of extravagance.

The Conservatives had been charged with having o. party com- mission, yet the chairman of the present commission had come to the defense of the Government by writ- ing a letter in the Press, and ofllcisls had been discharged by the Com- mission for carrying out tbii: du- tics.

In 1927 the Liberals pledged them- selves to press the subsidy claims. They dld not do it, although there was‘a Liberal Government in power at Ottawa. t

Mr. Hessian had an erroneous idea of the Duncan Report. The full sub- sidy would be gained only when an understanding is arrived at between the Province and the Dominion, Mr. MaePhee corrected. The Liberals had promised to press the claims, as was necessary, but although there was a friendly Government at Ot- tawa, on account of the inactive Caveznmcnt here, the promise ‘had not been kept.

No Platform

Mr. John A. Campbell stated that it was not necessary for the Gov- crnmcnt to come before the people with a. platform. He believed that in 1027 the“ Conservatives were ashamed to appeal on their record, and expressed the opinion that. the Conservatives should still support Government Control. He believed that the Liberals had something to ‘show for the liabilities incurred, and charged the Stewart Govern- ment with neglecting the public ser- vices. As the Province did not have sources of pleasure, which other provinces had, the Government was not doing its duty to the younB Dec. pie if it did not maintain good roads. In the midst of a. long pre- amble on present conditions, some- body shouted, “Home markets." "Home markets," said Mr Campbell" "They tell us not to discuss Domin- ion politics." The speaker then be. gen to discuss that subject. He

Mr. J. D. McLeod asked in 0910' ing if Dominion politics. were el- sential w. the discussion. why have a local Government at all. The Ealmders-Len Government was new on trial before the Jury of the vwvlr- _

w. Msclbeod then compared ti" financial records q! the Stewart Government and of the Saunders- Lea Government, showing that the Conservative Administration had conducted msblic services. much more ecutlonflcsl than had the Lib- erals. ‘There were three very c6- sentlsl thins: in my notion. i!“ church, the home, and the ed008- tlon c! youth. The home was pro- tected by law. The children were protected by a complete and 8e"- erous education. ‘Ilhe teachers o! Prince Edward Island had demand- ed lncreised salaries. A Commis sion was appointed. The Govern- ment said “We have no funds," but the Governmvnt had funds for ev- erything else but fur education. Mr. McLeod stwssed the lnovortmce o! having good teachers properly paid. The teachers should be in- dividuals of character beyond re- proach. as the influence of the teacher might g0 not only through life but also throusll owmltv- .

Mr. McLeod criticised lillB BX- pendltures oi.’ the Government. The Good Roads Association in onu- lottetown cost the Province a large sum of money. It was there that the McIntyre Highway idea origin- atsd. ~-

"Not So Well"

Mr. Mont. Annesr in opening stated that he believed that the women had a wa-rm spot in their hearts for Mr. Bell who gave them a vote.

After reviewing the history o! the Liberal party, Mr. Annear stut- cd that h; had two reasons for asking the peflllle to vote for him. The first was Mr. Lea, the second was that Bennett was not. helping the famrlers. He was making the ‘Americans ‘cross.

As he concluded his speech a

voice came from the rear of the .

Ihall “Oh, you're not so well." Mr. M. F. McDonald, in a masterly Bd-

idress reviewed the unsatisfactory’

record of the Liberal Government. Mr. McLeod he said, in the sec- tion where he lived was a man held [in highest esteem by all.. The present political situation was un- ique, Mr. McDonald said. The Gov- ernment came before the people with no platform save their rec- ord, which was by no means». com- mendable one. That record was one of which the Liberals could not be proud. Their financial record was one of extravagance. Four years ago there was no criticism {of the Conservative party, Mir. Mc- lDonald reminded the audience. He "believed that prohibition was to m. ‘Liberals in 1927 purely a political ‘question. There were many people lgit that time who believed that by i931 the Province would be dry as a, desert. i Mr. McDonald read a. letter in the paper from Mr. Clark. a. form- er Prohibition Oflficcr, who many believed was dlsehargsd because he was u» ardent. in carrying out the law. The ‘letter, lVIr. McDonald stated, proved conclusively that there had been political interfer- ence exerted in the enforcement of the Prohibition Act.
