"I wish to mention briefly some consider-at‘ in regard to the liquor problem:

Meaning of Control

"Al I understand it. and as I think it should be. liquor control is an effort to keep the youth from being subjected. to the iri- fiuedces of liquor in public places and places of sport and recrestl . it is also an effort to eliminate the moonshine makers and the boot- leggers. _

"It is a generally accepted fact that, as yet. many people ieei that liquor is "messary for certain iiis and emezge icy cases, and that there mus’. be a means by which it can be procured when needed.

“Then there are inveterate drinkers, some who get drunk, and some who never get drunk. who are determined to get what they need to dcaden their sensitive feel- ings, which, in certain circum- stances, would be disturbing w them. .

"Then. there may be some who want to drink and will get it by hook or by crook.

"It seems evident, from the failure of Prohibition wherever it has been tried. that there are a large number oi people who will get alcoholic beverages in defiance of the law.

"The P. E. 1. temperance control expects tp satisfy reasonably such people. so that. the moonshiners and the bootleggers may be put out of business. and at the same time lessen the consumption of‘ liquor by keeping it out oi public places and decreasing the chances of youth to be tempted to drink.

"Coupled with control, whatever form it may take, and experiences of prohibition show that it has never got beyond the state of a form of control. and often a louse

‘ ‘, an educational program is needed to pisce before the people. especially the youth. the effects. of alcohol as a beverage. and its economic benefits and its destruc- tive powcr. This is to be my en- deavour. Zt is proposed that this be done through every available moans. giving the truth, as it is known, in detail, with the belief that the truth will awaken and en- lighten and make people free from a deceitful and destructive evil.

"The law in connection with control is to be, a K1114! W ‘he controllers, and a deterrent factor to any who may have little or no respect for law and the weilare of other people, and who would he a bad influence. and a menace to the freedom and social welfare of sii.

‘The success of ‘_ ‘. 06W!- tion arid law. ‘depends “PM m“ goodwill and co-cperation of the people of ail classes, organizations. professions and creed!-

This means, that such e oner can let depsndsnt/s allowance for ‘a woman Jie marries up be the latter date and for children born of a. marriage up tot-hat date. The deadline is aimed at "deathbed marriages” of ms veterans to young women.

"NOW, I want to any Qmphgfl. cally. that what is done by prom- inent. outstanding people and or- ganisations has a ‘determining effect on the living and activities oi others.‘ especially the youth. Therefore, if a prohibitory or um. perance law is to be beneficial, men oi education and position must act the example, and abstain irom alcoholic beverage and keep it out of their organizations, and from aii their places oi meeting and crilcyment. ‘

“We are all interested in the future progress oi our Province and nation. We are ail anxious to leave a good inheritance to our children. These. things depend u-pon a clean healthy. respectful society, and environment oi good influences. The drink eidi makes a bad sn- vironment. 2t corrupts indivi- dual morals, impairs the health and destroys social principles. ~ "The question for each mother and father. and for every respon- sible citizen is: How am l in- fluencing the society in which that boy and girl of mine may have to live? .

“I sincerely solicit your sugges- tions, encouragement and help to combat the forces and evi. oi ‘liquor. By this and other efforts our Garden Province may be made a pisce of plenty, pleisurc and peace."

TAXATION ‘AGREEMENTS

‘(Continued from Page 1)

taxing rlglats a sound one? is it in need oi revision in the near future? Should the subsidy be modified in the light oi tihc recent 2i per cent horizontal increase in fneisht rates?

These are questions which the Provinces are currently asking themselves and which tihey would like to determine at a round-table conference with Finance Minister Abbott and other Cabinet mqarbers 0f the Dominion Treasury Board.

llflby‘! Iflllin

‘Ill-re cltarge ‘that than Finance Minister‘ Ilsley drove a shrewd bargain when fiidng the amount o Federal subsidies to the Proviric is being made broadside all across the Province of Ontario today in one course of a Provincial election‘ campaign. Just this week-end. Ontario Provincial Treasurer Leslie Frost told s largo eastern" Ontario

" that the Province had obtained no ices than S90 millions from sources of revenue for which the Dominion wanted to pay only $74 millions.

New Brunswick is patently dis- satisfied with its treatment by the Dominion in the light of the added freight imports s; is seen‘ in the recent appeal oi Premier J. B. ‘M - Nair for additional Federal aid. Nova Scotia is at odds with Ottawa as cleanly stated by Premier Angus MacDonald who acted as spokes- mam for the seven Provinces in their conference with the Dominion Cabinet some three weeks ago on freight charges, ,

This dissatisfaction on the part o! two of the Msritrne Provinces contrasted with the evident deter"- minatlon of both Ontario and Quebec to give or pawn none of their taxing rights to the Federal Government ' dictates s very real need for s Dominion-Provincial conference at as early a date as may be feasible.
