It was just a. one line item at the lcot of a lengthy agenda under Icnslderation by delegates attend- bzg the Maritime Synod of the Presbyterian Church.

L‘ Verbal Skirmish

-A verbal skirmish featured dis- cussion of the item with Mr. Wil- liamson SlZOng for a definite state- ment of opinion and others equally Itrong for no such statement.

The Island delegate drew atten- tion to the fact that “war" footed the list and said he did not like such an important matter being placed in that position. "I was as- sured that the matter would come up earlier today," he said. rThe Moderator announced that there had been pronounced protest

Mr. Earl Ings, one of the Re- . construetbn candidates was the first speaker. The old parties are cnthe old battle grounds on which they usually fight elections; the Reconstruction party stands for a new program aimed at aiding the producer and consumer. Mr. Stev- ens refused financial aid as he did not want to be held back by any strings if elected, Mr. Inga said.

The Reconstruction party does not intend to ‘tear things to pieces, but one tlrng it does propose to do

but he had failed to do anything for the poor. This. the speaker claimed, was Mr. Stevens’ mission in politics, who was crusading ag- ainst the “big monopol’ ‘ ."

Prosperity, he believed was not "around the corner," but was fur- ther away from the corner than ever. A $5,000 debt was easier to pay before the depression than a thousand dollar debt today. Why are not interest rates reduced u:- cordingly? More money should be printed until the value of money goes down to the value of pro- ducts and labor. Over-inflation could be avoided as they did in Great Britain.

Whatever creit was due for the mnpire trade agreements should unquestionably go to the Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett, said Mir. Leslie. He maintained however, that the ex- change situation prevented us get- ting the full advantage of these pacts. The Reconstruction Party proposed remedying this situation, and also reducing bunk interest rates to 2 per cent. ‘This would hit "those big fellows that control 90 per cent of the wealth of Canada" and wouldnoteaffect small bank ‘depositors at alfi he insisted’. i

There was “no difference at all" he said, between the two old part- ies. When Laurier and King were in power United States commod- =lties could, always be bought; cheaper. in that country than in‘ ‘Canada, ‘ notwithstanding Liberal "free trade." .

Under the Stevens housing scheme it was proposed to lend ‘the full amount to applicants. It was also proposed to cut the freight rates substantially, and give faster train service at cheaper rates; develop a beet industry and a fish meal manufacturing plant in the Pmvincc.

Chalienging the statements that we had good times under Liberal rule Mr. Leslie recalled that al- most every day between 1921. and 1930 some of our furthers were selling out and going to the United States in order to make a living. This, he pointed out, was all Mr. Mackenzie King had done when in power; and during the last five years he has merely been pull- irig at the other end of the rope."

“Today m. King says he is going to give us a commission to inves- tiglte unemploymenh-which moans that he doesn't know anything ub- out itl" (Applause).

He cflticisod the Bennett admin- istration for delaying the election, Mr. Stevens for dictatorial ureth- ods in selectin his candidates. and Dr. MacDonk-l for introducing pro- vincial politics in the debate.

The Lea Government's $3,000,000 borrowing bill, he claimed. was ne- cessitated by Conservutivs mis- management in funding the first Lea. Government's overdraft.
