Mr RICHARDS: You hall a right to. The PREMIER: We had a right to
do it; but you dldn’t give it to us. We asked for expenditures up to the end ofMarch,for the first three months,and receipts. Formerly they used to tell us they would not answer anything except what went down in the public accounts, the rest we would get next year. Unfaithful stewards! They were refusing to tell the people who owned the money what they had re- ceived and spent. What did we do? We tolli that hon. gentleman preciseiy what we iindrecelved from the first ay of January, 1915, up to the end of ie three months. and told hiln that we welcomed the opportunity of giving o the public, who are our masters,
nformation as to what we, who are
heir servants, were doing with the public money. That is why.; and every year since we have come in. we have had the most competent man we could find in the Island find out just where we stood. Formerly we knew. when the public accounts came down, they were keeping behind large sums of money; we never knew where we were; and when our term came we follnd that in their last year you had to add $85,000 to find out exactly what the financial posltionwas. The Leader of the Opposition did not tell us, and his oft-repeated speech in the “ Pat- riot " does not tell us, that there had to be added to their debt the sum of $85,000, and that the total liabilities when they walked out of ofilce were $1,072,000. No juggling of figures can alter the fact that that was the way we found the situation. Every dollar of debt we owe is now taken into account, and how do we come out? $983,354 is the liabilities. now; no mad can dispute that, and it makes no different how the “Patriot” Iuggles and twists the figures and says, " if you had paid' so much more where would your surplus he?" Will the Leader of the Opposition deny that the state- ments contalned in the report of the special auditors are true? I-Ie says those men were instructed to find cer- tain things. I want to say to him that is absolutely untrue. and when he knows that he will never repeat the statement. I am sure. Those men were asked to find .in full the debts. the liabilities, t/he expenditures. of the pro- vince and 'to strike a balance. They were asked to do precisely the things that the auditors were asked who were employed when the late Conservative Government went out. I took the ln- structions so that there might never be an opening to make the statement. with truth. I took the 'instruc- tions that were given to tliose men and save the same iden- tical instructions to our auditors, and they have followed thenrthrough to the letter and there has been no varia- tion. There never llas been a time, ire' for all our public accounts will show. when the balance due at the close of the year was so small as in

did not go outside these instructions. He did not question the accuracy oi’ thi!! audit. but he did say that it did not show all that it might have done to the credit of the Liberal Govern- ment.
The PREMIER repeated that when
the present Government took office they based their position on the finan- cial poaltlon as shown by the external auditors, just as had the Liberals when they took ofiice twenty years be- fore. ~
