(Continued from Page 1)

Hod the Lea Government funded its overdraft before going out of of- lile. the Premier continued, the Pro- vince would not have been forced to go on the bond market at an un- favorable time. "Why," he asked. , "did they leave that overdraft there? Because they did not want to draw ff to the attention of the people on the eve of an election. It would have hurt them politically. That, in my opinion and in the Opinion of those who know the sit- uation, was their reason. They could at that time have issued debentures at a ratc very much less than they gore‘ paying for overdraft at thc

m _..

Answers “lnherltancfl Claim

Answering ihe claim that the Lib- erals had “inheritecP part of their $1,041,340 overdraft from the pre- ceding Conservative administ nfiuu, the Premier showed the fallacy o! this statement from the pages of the Public Accounts. In 1910, the Conservatives, in bank overdraft and short loans. had left $521,301.30. The Liberals in 1923 left $680,355.64. The Conservatives, quitting office again in I027, left these items re- duced to $609,016.75. Then came the Saunders-Lea administration, which in 1931 went out of office leaving behind them $1,425,845.25 in bank overdraft and short loans. Totaiiing these amounts, it was shown that since 1019 the Liberals had increas- ed by practically a million dollars the debt under these headings.

Mr. T. A. Campbell: "The shorl term loans would make no differ- ence."

Premier MacMihan: “We are tak- hrg the two items because they re- present unfunded debt, and they have to he paid."

No Reflection Intended

On resuming thc debate on thc Draft Address yesterday morning, the Premier said it had never been his intention to make derogatory remarks about the Opposition lead- m", or about his occupation as a farmer. He himself had been brought up on a farm. and subsc- quentiy, in the medical profession. had often faced problems compar- ed with which work in the barn- yard seemed much easier. Mr. Leu , had 0n the previous day taken him J tq task for correcting the Oppo-i sitlon leader in an error he had, made in quoting the Public Ac-i counts last season. The misstate- ment hsd been made lo often, with the purpose of injuring the Gov- ernment. that it was necessary tc correct it, he explained.

Mr. Lea objected that the Pre- mier was impu-ting a motive, which W65 unporliamentary. The same point, he contended, had been raised by the leader of the Govern- ment on Wednesday.

Mr. Speaker pointed out that there was a difference in imputing a. motive to an individual and to a govemmen-t or party. Mr. Lea and Mr. T. A. Campbell both dis- sented from the Smokers ruling.

Architect's Fees

"Since my hon. friend takes ex- ception to my statement," said the Premier. "I will now read a state- ment he is reported to have made at a Liberal convention in Sum- mvrside. “Mr. Lea poinwd out that before counting the cost of the pro- posed new Faiconwood building they had employed an architect and paid him $35,000 to draw the plans. anll this for a bulldlng that cost about $100,000." I am drawing the attun- tion of the Opposition leader to that statement and I will ask if he has been coraectiy reported?"

Mr. Lea: "I just didn't catch all of it; Mr. McIntyre was speaking to me."

Premier MacMillan: “You might advise Mr. McIntyre to hold his tongue when someone else has the floor (Laughter). I will read it again: (l-ie re-read the statement). I ask my hon. frimd if he made that statement."

Mr. Lea: "I made the statement. I don't kn0w if it was in the ex- act words, but the rebuilding of Falconwood did cost $05,000 in architects fees according to the Auditor's report."

Premier MscMillan: "My hon. inferring to his statement that the architect was paid $85,000 to draw plans for s building that cost about $100,000, and I am asking him if he made it."

: "Where ls that report

Premier MacMillnn: "It is from the daily Patriot. giving a report of the Liberal convention held in Summerside in July of lust ylar."

Mr. Les: “Well, that is what it cost; that l; all you have for it."

Premier MiacMillan: "My hon.

Refuses To Withdraw Premier MacMiIIan: "Now I will

ask my hon. friend if he will with- drew that statement. because it is incorrect."

w. ma; “No, r certainly‘ will

not; because it is correct."

Premier MacMillan: "Very well.

I have followed the course my hon. friend suggested I ghould have tak- en in pointing out his inaccuracy in quoting from the counts last year. I have drawn his attention to his misstatement; have given him a chance ti. corral it, and he says No! I have only to sly that the statement he made, thsi, $35,000 was paid by this Gov- "hlflfihl, lo draw plans for a. bulld- fng that cost $100,000 Is false and misleading."

Public Ac- I

Mr. T. A. Campbell: ‘That is

Mr. 1cm: “That ls not correctly

not the statement." reported."

(Again the Premier read tho

staternen‘, Mr. Lea this time main- taining it was correct.)

Premier MscMillan: "Then I

have no alternative but to say that the statement is false, and that the records of this Province will not show that $35,000 was paid to any architect lo draw plans for a bulld- lng which colt $100,000." '

Mr. Les. complained that the

Premier's language was “unparlia- mentary" and should be withdrawn.

The Premier maintained he hlfl

no other course. since the Oppo- sition leader insisted 011 investing the misstatement.

Mr. ma: "Very well; f say his

statement is false too."

The True Facts

and again an effort had been made

to misrepresent the purpose of the

Felconwocd Ilospltul plans. It was true that it was not yet

_ ible to build on thc scale originally plan-

ned, but the same was true oi‘ thc situation which confronted

the trustees of the Prince. Edward Is- land hospital. “Do we hear," he mkccl. "anything about the money ihiy had to pay because they had lo revise their plans three differ- ent times? No! But because the Government had the same difficulty in trying to aolvetho problem of

a mental hospital for this Province,

it has lo be slundered by false statements-lo which the leader of

the Opposition says ‘Surelm

Mr. liePagds Excuse

Dealing with Liberal misstate- the Premier referred to s Patriot report of e, Liberal meet- ing at Kingston last summer. in

which Mr. B. W. LePagr: was quot-

ed a; saying that $200,000 might have been saved at Prince of Wales College if the old foundation had been preserved.

Mr. LcPagc: "I said that had the foundation been used and built on we could have had a building built the pur- poses of this Province, for $200,000 less than the present building cost, because the present building cost about $400,000."

Mr. Speaker: "So you wem iri- correctly reported?"

Mr. IcPnge: "l was incorrectly reported lf it says that.”

Mr. T. A. Campbell: “Incomplete- iy reported."

(Continuing, the Premier quoted another statement to the some cf- feot, which Mr. LdPage acknow- ledged to be "correct." He then dealt with the slanderous mis- statement uttered in presence of Mr. Les at a Liberal meeting, to the effect that the Government had "burned the Asylum." The Premier's remarks on thc Opposition leader's reply on that Occasion are reported elsewhere in today's Guardian.)

Mr. Les And The Poll-lot

As on amusing , e of Lib- eral misstatements, the Premier next referred to s report of a po- litical meeting at York in the Patriot newspaper of Nov. 3, 1084.

in which Mr. Lea was quoted as Slylllfll the two Governments was that the Lfhcrnl Government had balanced their budgets."

"The dlf‘ between

Mr. Lea: "On ordinary account. You should give it in full."

Mr. Lea: "Then ll, is not correct.”

Premier MacMiilan: "Of course it is not. I am Just drawing yo-‘T attention to ihe statement, which purported to be your remarks and which appeared in your party news- paper. During the four years of Liberal rule, I wonder how many budgets" my hon. friend

Premier MacMilii-m: “It ls a good job they don't any all that was said at those meetings, if those wens the tld-blts and the gems of or- story that £00k place! (Laughter) Isn't it a tribute to the intelligence o! the men who made tho-ac state- ments, that not one of them will stand the light of day." (Applause).

"That makes

Liberal Promises

The Premier then took up the Liberal election platform of i927, and showed how the promises of tho Lea-Saunders administration had been ignored during their term of office. The first pledge was to press the Provinces claim for in- creased silbsidy at Ottawa. and "on obtaining increased subsidy a downward revision of taxation."

Mr. LePage: “We did just as we said; we pressed our claims!"

Voice: "And you got a goose- egg!" -

M1‘. LcPagc: "Well, they were very small uoslir» ' out of the goose-egg this time."

Old age pens-dos... . :1 pensions to school teachers, were among the other unimplernented promises of thc Liberal party, the Premier con- tinued. .

He then quoted a statement made by Mr. Lea, who in referring t0 the Premier said tl-ie latter, be- ing a. medical man, could “bury his mistakes"; that he was a capital minister of Education and Health but a. failure as a business man.

Mr. Lea: “that referred to all the profession." ,

Premier MacMlllanz "The med- ical profession is able to bury their mistakes?"

Mr. ma: “They are fortunate in that."

Premier MacMillan: "Yes; be- cause my hon. friend will never be able to bury his mistakes, and if they were buried, they would rlse like Banquet, ghost and walk. find they would confront lrlnr now!" (Laughter).

Was it, ih~ Premier challenged, "poor bilsifitcs" on his part in ob- taining $15,000 from the Federal Government towards the labour cost of Falconwood Hospital? was it a sign that he was "a. failure" as a business man to get the car ferry rates reduced and the car ferry accounting system changed?

School Supply Department

The Government. he continued. had been criticised for not still further reducing the cost of school books. Ho reminded the Opposition loader. however, that when the Government took charge they found s, deficit of $38,000 in the School Supply Department. They put a business manager in charge who was able to save $10,000, but when he began tc collect old bills he found no vouchers or record, and hundreds of’ dollars remain uncolleoted because the bills cen- not be proved. Last year. another $1,000 was saved in this depart- ment, but the neglect under Lib- erai management caused s. heavy deficit which has not yet been overtaken. In addition, the Gov- ernment has many demands to meet and it cannot reasonably be expected to undertake the distribu- tion of free school books. Some re- ductions-lieve been mode; the books are now being given as ‘cheaply as possible without dip- ping in the treasury. "would my hon. friends." he asked, “advise us to do that?" There was no audible reply

Opening " ft was on Thursday afternoon,

following Mr. Lea in the debate.
