A CHALLENGE

The Patriot has been declaimlng against tlie sum of

$1.500 voted as salary for the Premier and President of the Council of this Province. lt has seen fit to make a party cry of the matter, notwithstanding that the Liberal Opposition in the House supported the vote. The salary of the Premier and President was carried by the unani- mous vote of both parties.. We now put this formal challenge to the Patriot.

In the event of the Liberals being returned to power.

will the Patriot guarantee that they will abolish the Salary and reduce the emoluments to $1.200-the salary allocated to the Attorney-General?

\\'e put this challenge and demand an explicit reply. The Patriot cannot have it both ways; it cannot be

allowed to protest in opposition and make party capital of thc increase, and then. should it reap the fruits of its malignant campaign, allow a Liberal Premier to draw the present salary of the joint offices.

The Liberal electors do not trust their leaders and

wliy should we? The Liberal electors demand that their candidates shall sign pledges that they will keep their promises. And not without region. It will still be within the recollection of many of our readers that in bygone days the LiberalOpposltion campaigned against the railway project and promised, if returned. to tear up the rails and throw them on the scrap heap. When returned. instead ol fulfilling their promise, the Liberalsnot only failed to do so, but started new railway projects which pre- cipitated the financial ruin of the island. Liberal verbal promises are delusions and shares.

We, therefore, ask our contemporary: is the abolition

of the salary of the Premier and Presiqent of Council q PIN* 5" the I-ib¢f‘2I Dmgramme, and will it guarantee that if the Liberals be return¢d to power they will reduce the emoluments of the Premier and A't¢¢m¢y.G¢ne,-3| go what it was when the Province, under the Liberals, ¢°u|¢ not make ends meet?

lil H Drosey article, lacking its usual vim and per-

spicuity, the Patriot yesterday attempted by comparative statistics to show what was done, and what could have been done. with the revenue of the Govemment The

gist of its complaint is that in twelve departments the

oiernment spent $38,000 more than the Liberals, but as there are only five departments we are ni 8 1035 wher

"UF f~'01ll€mD0t‘ary gets its other seven. It also makes a

grievance of the allegation that Dominionemployees receive

mise salaries under the Federal Aid Grant Now these

by the local Government. Moreover, it is passing strange

0 find the Patriot in the gallery of critics of the high.

txlaries paid officials in the Department of Agriculture.”

as it not the case that the Patriot, three years ago, led

a vigorous campaign for the increase of, salary of one of these officials? The Department, far from being extrava- Bam ill IIS 0Xl>enditures, was able to show an unexpended IIHIHUCG Of $6,424 at the end of the financial vear. Ho

can our contemporary reconcile this with its unsupported

allegations of extravagance? Vl”hen did the Liberals gon. clude a financial year with a halatice on th ` 't

e right side.

Our readers must bear in mind that out of the agricultural

grant is paid the salaries of five school inspectors, totalll

» Pending a settlement of the llttle_mfsunderstandI\1S between Germany and the United States as to the right of the former to murder citizens of the latter on the blsb seas. and that of the latter to prevent such'murder, Dr- Bomnni-dt noi-nnurg has got into a little panic. He has been in the United States for some time past. in an “un- Otllclal" capacity representing the Géfmlli G0V€l'“m°m and in a very ofllclous capacity endeavorlng to make trou- ble between the two countries. When the American note was sont to Germany with an unmlstnkeable smell of gull- ~powder about it the busy Doctor became homesick. H8 wanted ,to get back to the Vaterland before any trouble began. How to get there. with the execrated Ensliih il1‘ charge of the Atlantic Ocean and liable to get him, WHS the question. with characteristic German ingenuity he solved the question himself, or thought he did; he would ask the British Government, through the United States Government, for safe conduct across the Atlantic and along the other routes that must be traversed. into Ger- many!

At the doctor’s request, says an American exchange,

Ambassador von Bernstorff took up the matter with the State Department informally last week. He indicated that Dr. Dernburg would like to have the United States govern- ment use its good offices to secure for him a safe conduct for the sea voyage from the British embassy. The sup- position seems to have been that the State Department would be willing enough to do anything in its power to speed the German unofficial spokesman on his way.

The State Department, however, has not shown any

alacrity about taking steps to secure for Dr. Dernburg a British safe conduct. _lt is stated that the department cer- tainly will not make the request. until it has learned what attitude the British government would take toward this request. The department takes the view that, as Dr. Dern- burg has never acknowledged having any official connec- tion with the German government, he is not entitled to claim any special consideration at the hands of the British government, or from the United States government either, for that matter. Consequently the State Department does not intend to expose itself to any embarrassment by ask- ing for favors for Dr. Demburg which the British may not feel like granting.

The British embassy has not yel been approached,

even informally, on the subject. There is reason to be- lieve, however, says an American authority that Ambassa- dor Page at London has been instructed to make such dis- creet inquiries as will develop the attitude of the British authorities toward such a request in case it were made by the United States.

At this distance both from the scene of hostilities and

that of Dr. Dernburg’s uneasiness, it would appear as il' the doctor had better stay -where he is _.r get home by :i circuitous route, avoiding the Atlantic entirely. To the lay and uumilitary mind the spectacle of German submarines chasing. and where possible, sinking, unarmed British ships, and in the same waters a convoy of armed British ships escorting this German mischief maker home and ,protecting him, appears incongrous, and unmilitary; it ap- pears, also, to have required an immense amount of Ger~ man gall to have asked for it. We are strongly of the opinion that no safe-conduct will be granted him and that if he ventures to go home via the Atlantic he will be treated simply as a German, unsdorned, undignified, unofficial and unworthy of any consideration at the hands of the British except to take him prisoner as they have done with all other Germans who have tried to get home.
