A D McCurdy. who is _

The Ioilr/wing is the continuation

of the report of the Preinier‘s Bud- get Speech, part of which appeared in yesterday’s "Guardian. The Prem- ier was speaking in reference to the question of subsidies. Continuing. he said:

As long as fifteen years ago in this

House 1 began -urging upon the Gc-v- ernment then in power to go after more money at Ottawa, that we had claims that siiould be presented, and if they had done their duty, if they had taken the matter up as we did in later years, we might have had our increase long before. We did all that we could. We put all our infor- mation before them; wa urged them in every possible way to -take action. Resolution were passed by the House and they died in this House; they were never transmitted to Ot- tawa- But when we came into pmver wc immediately proceeded to do those things which he had tried so long and with so little result to induce the Government then in power to do.

We took steps and havent to Ottawa

and obtained an increase of $100,000 a year in perpetuity, the greatest boon that ever came to this province, the greatest hoc-n that was conferred upon any province in Canada. Now, hon. members opposite ure 'very fond of telling us that in their time they also obtained an increase. Sc- they did. and the increase' that came in their time -amounted to $30,000 pills $70,000-$100,000 a year. They got $70,000 on general redistribution of all subsidies to the province oi’ Canada. and they got the lowest they could posibiy get, an amount assign- ed many years before by a conference at Quebec as the lowest amount any province should get. The hon. mem- ber who sits to the left of the Leader of the Opposition was one of the de- legates oi' this province. and when they were naked to present ‘their claims in writing for any furtlicr con- sideration this prcvince should re- ceive, they sat there mute and took the lowest that could be assigned to any p\'ovince,- $70,000. They took exactly what we could have got. if they had never shown their faces in Ottawa. and it would have been a for- tunate thing for us li’ they had stayed at home. because when we went to present our case we were met with this objection: VVhy, it is only a few years ago since there was an inter- provincial conference and your dele- gates were here and were asked to present any special claims the pro- vince had and they said _there were no special claims and they took the lowest in the scale. How can you now come and claim anything and try to open the accounts back of that conference? Well, we had to make it clear that those gentlemen who pro- fessed to represent the province did not represent lt, did not realize their mission. did not realise the condition of things, and that the province should not therefore be for ever kept out of its just rights because. of the neglect of those gentlemen to dis- charge their dutics fully. We succe- eded in setting aside that obstacle and _many other obstacles. That was thu $70,000 they got. 'Thu other a- mount, $30,000. was selling out our claim for non-fulfilment' of the claims of the Union up tc-_ that time. It was an unlawful sacrifice. lt was not more than one-fifth of what we should have got, and tliore again wc' iounri tiia tan obstacle. ilut we overcome it also. We. on the other hand, obtain- erl our $100.00 ri year. not as piirt of o gcnorui redistribution, because no other province got any sum for rod- istribution. and we sold nothing for it. Wo left our accounts wide open to be prossed in futnrc yours. More than that, we put on file in the Privy Council, in the archives, in tho Lib- rary, n complete record of our case, so that any representatives of any Government in this province may go to, Ottawa and thorn they will find ali tho results of our work stored away and carefully preserved. I searclied the records and had them all ransack- ed to find a trace of a single claim presented by our opponents when they were in power in Ottawa, and there was not one scratch of a pen; so tiiat we have not only obtained a grant of 3100.000 a year in perpetuity but we have laid the foundation, broad and strong. for the renewal of our claims when better times shall hive come for Canada and an op- portune tlme for this province. Not only have we laid our claims in re- gard to the public lands in Western rights in this province, but we have acted coniointly with the other Mari- time provinces havlng s claim in re- gard to the' public lands in Western Canaria. and we hnvo put on record every particle of information that was avaliable in t he Libraries of Canada and.the United States. ltfls all there consolidated in a great brief and the record of the presentation of claims ia _there preserved, every argu- ment being on tile, and if the hon. gentlemen ever came intopower and they made up their minds they would do their duty by this province and go to Ottawa. they would find the result of many laborious days and months which we expended in advancing the oaule of this rovince. it is one of

people-that when that,success was achieved by the Government. instead c-f giving the Government whatever credit they thought due,- we don't want to make any particular claim in that regard, we were only doing our duty and the result was the salvation of this province- they said: Oh, you didn't get it, somebody clse got it. I know that was not _the view oi' the better element of the Liberal party: it was the view of a very few of

them. the noisy few. it was discredit-I able to them, but that mattered no-

-in our reputation as a province at Ottawa. They knew those statements were false and they said. This is the thanks that the' people of Prince Ed-| ward island give for all that we have done for them. i' will tell you, the Government of Canada did not make' this increased grant to this province without having been held to very‘ hard account by tile, other provinces. They had tc- justify i_t and stand up for us. and as long as the memory of men in this province endures. there SIi01l-Id be in that memory thankful- ness for what was done by the Minis- ter of Finance. Sir Thomas White. Without his invaluable aid, without the ready sympathy which lie, a strait ger, gave us. we could never have succeeded.
