persons in power during the past few years.

Mr. Dal-by'I Anawer

The At.laorr.ey,GenerIl'a answer to this criticism is quoted from two Charlottetown papers of March 10th and llth and con- firmed by my own ears. He said: "R. ponsiible Govern-moent means that the executive branch of the Government is responsible to Parliament", which of course is true. but he continued. "and sub- mits its actions to the people It. a general election. Only if it fails therein can it properly be accused of failing to carry out the system of Responsible Gov- ernment."

Now if this be so we can sling all our history of the British sys- tem of Government and all our Constitutional authorities out the window. and we can rest the fut- ure conduct of our affairs on snap elections in seas of mud. the more snap and mud the better. '

If this be so. we can for in- glance foresee a forceful and pop- u-lar leader slipping in no-elected persons as Ministers of the Crown; and carrying on- by Order-in- Council with a su-bsc-rvient Legis- lature of overwhelming party strength; and we can foresee these lawless acts being ”legalized". if you please. by elections on con- fused issues.

Let it be remembered that the Constitution of Germany was voted out. by the popular will in- liuenced by an able demagogue named Hitler. Thereafter the peo- ple marched to the polls.

Let us be alert against sum dangerous doctrines. The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. It can happen here and it will hap- pen here if we ignore our Cori- stitution. It now appears that our Provincial Liberal Govern- ment is dedicated to the principle that if you can humbug the peo- ple. what was wrong is right. and a successful end will always justi- fy the means. Such is the cyni- cal theory behind the pretended practice of Liberalism.

From consideration of prin- ciples of Government I direct your attention to certain facts and circumstances in the conduct of our affairs. I shall first re- fer to the statement of the Pro- vincial Treasurer and Attorney General about the Provincial Sales Tax. In his reported radio speech of April 8th he said! "The Leader of the Opposition and his newly selected candidates are proclaiming as I fact. that the Liberal Government intends to impose I 3 per cent sales tax if re-elected. As a member of the Government. and Provincial Treasurer I most emphatically deny that such a step has ever been contemplated or even dis- cussed . . .”

In commenting on this state- ment 1 do suggest that indeed it. was not contemplated for the eve of a Provincial election. That it is being contemplated if the Government is re-elected is sure- ly a matter of comment. Tile Premier has coil-tomplatcd it suf- ficicntlyi to say - as reported ill the Patriot of March 9th - "We do not need it now. we don't pro- pose to impose any such tax. but if the time comes when this Pro- vince should need it the tdx could bring in up to 1 1-2 million dol- lars."

I submit the Government": ex- travagant methods will provide the need within the next few months.

Further I suggest. that if the imposition of a sales tax was never contemplated or discussed the leading hand of the executive should let the other hands of the Government know just what goes on.

Quote: Correspondence

Consider the following interest- ing correspondence. On January 2nd. 1951, the Minister of Justice wrote to the Pi-e-rnicrs of all the Provinces enclosing two proposed amendments to the B.N.A. Act. one concerning Old Age Pensions and the other concarnring Provin- cial Sales Taxes. Back comes our Pl-emler'I reply on Friday. Janu- ary 5th. I clear. abort. letter as follows:

"Dear Mr. Garcon:

"The Govemment of Prince Ed- ward Island approval the two proposed mendmenta to the BN. A. Act respecting Old Age Pen- sions and I Provincial Saiea Tax which were forwarded in your letter of January

"Very truly youre "(Sgd.) J. Walter Jones."

Our Premier was the very lim- to agree. Surely he discussed what it meant. with his Govern- ment. Does our Government mean in say that the Premier answered this vitally important letter. no doubt one of the most vitally im- porant letters the Government- received for many years. WIIahW'- consulting hll Cabinet? If so. all

trol have been demonstrated be-' yond our gr-aveet Iu5pIC'l0m- U N were referred to the other Minis- ten in cabinet. did they all sit around without Ipelkini. of CV90 thinking what it meant. 'iVIums the word" indeed. .

Incredible scent:

Cabinet Councils are secret and we may never know. but on'e imagination boggles at such In incredible scene. They must have looked like the three Japanese monkeys. one of whom clans hll ears. one his eyes and one his mouth. I0 they hear no evil. In no evil. speak no evil.

since the approval of the Sales Tax proposition was done with- out ; thought in anyone: head. we can appreciate the speed of the reply. because it compared In remarkably with the raplial of those other Premier: who were polite enough to Imwdr. and all of when said they wanted time to coneult. their collaaquaa and

our allegations of one-man con-I

Scotia made the first considered reply. seventeen day: later .on January 19th. when be forwarded I lengthy all on proposed amendments. Up to this time our Premier alone had agreed. On January 20th the Minister of Jus- tice senck out another omnibus letter, very frank and revealing, pointing out as to the sales tax, "it has become clear that such I proposal will be subject to the most powerful opposition of the retailing industry throughout the country." He suggested an amend- ment to the sales tax proposal.

The very first man to reply to Ottawa": letter of January 20th was our Premier. This time he telegraph: I reply that. the Gov- crnment concurs in the sales tax amendment on January fifth. and confinms it by letter the next day. specifically referring to the sales tax. Now the Ottawa letter was written on Saturday and could not have reached here before Monday. so either they held' I special Cabinet meeting on Tues- day. January 83rd or they didn't hold one at all. This places our Ministers in an awkward dilenuna. for either the Premier assumed the powers of an absolute mon- arch or the Government did con- sider the problem. And if the power to impose I sales tax was the question, it is possible to suppose that no one discussed the posibility or the prospect of im- posing the tax. or even think about it?

Extraordinary Haste

Whoever was actually respon- sible on behalf of the Province, there was a breathless anxiety about this head-over-heels ap- proval which is quite extraordin- ary because all other Govern- ments were still taking time out to consider.

The Progressive Conservative Premier of Ontario replied after three weeks and discussed Old Age Pensions only. i

The correspondence ends as far as present infmvrnation goes by another eager-beaver letter from Premier Jones on March 2nd rc- affirming his Original approval. while I number of other Govern- ments were still pondering this vital problem.

Our Premier and his Attorney General hail this proposed amend- ment cxtending Provincial taxa- tion powers as a great constitu- tional victory for the Province. On the contrary, I contend that this is the patchrworvk-quilt sort of Constitution which will tend to disrupt the Nation. Thc Old Age Pension extension to age 65. which is a. proposal universally agreed upon. has been cleverly tied in by both Liberal Governments with the Provincial Sales Tax. It gives a plausible issue for its imposition.

But Old Age is not peculiar to any Province. It is a National responsibility. The greater per- centage of old people in Prince Edward Island is directly caused by the policy of centralization which is well illustrated by the present war industry centraliza- tion so asiduously cultivated by the LiberaliFcderal Government. Why should we not only lose our young people who must seek em- ployirncntt In Ontario or Quebec, and also pay double for their loss by increased Provincial taxation?

A Vioioua Tax

Contrary to the present Gov- ment we of the Progressive Con- servative Party consider the pro- posed sales tax to be the most. vicious form of taxation which could possibly be imposed on an unsuspecting public. We are now horrified to learn from Tuesday's budget that the Federal sales tax is to be raised from eight to ten per cent. A Provincial Sales tax, which has been approved in prin- ciple by the Jones Govern-mcnt, but not yet. imposed will increase the cost. of living by in material extent. It will hit the poor and the pensioner, oidgage or widow or veteran hardest of all.

What about this high cost of living? What is the Conservative policy? Look at last. Tuesday's newspaper. George Drew. the Conservative Leader. moved in the House of Commons for the adoption of measures to hold down the coat of living and halt infla- tion. The Liberal Government at Ottawa said no. V

Ladies and gentlemen, there in A wrong being done to us, but there is I remedy. We are I very small part of I great. and pros- PENN! country. but we have con- tributed to money, good. mu taxes and public lands more than our shut to the nation's prosper- ity. We have contributed far more in bodies and brains.

We are therefore entitled to our share of prosperity, not go the crumbs.

Our remedy is in strong and competent pi-esentatlon of our claims. We have gpeclal claims and when the Dominion settle- ment was presented at the 1947 Legislature our Conservative members then protested vigorous- ly against the surrender of these claims, in particular, the failure to implement the terms of Con- federation and that of fiscal need.

You need not listen to me or Iny of my colleagues, even to Dr. McMillan. who year in and year out -hu tirelessly stated that our Provincial Government had sold our birthright for I mess of pot- tage. You need but listen to the former Pi-ovinciiil Treasurer of the Jones Government. an lnde. pendent Liberal in the true sense of Liberalism. who resigned from the Cabinet only two years ago while proteatma that the Leader of the Liberal Government owed

He offered his information and the result of long Itudy and

perience to any person or group who wished to consider it. That attitude is the proper and atatep manllke approach to the prob. lems. We on our side regret um: I hurl-led session prevented I full discussion. This matter of Provincial claim should not. be II political foot-ball. Each party should vie with the other only to see which can work out the best solution but obviously abould co-operate for the common good. Our criticism of the party so long” in power in that they are ready to rest content with and ciow over a portion. hei-can if they receive I portion they should fight vigorously for the balance claimed. We submit their attitude has materially weakened our posi- tion with the present Federal Administration.

I heard, and I hope you heard the Provincial Treasurer and At- torney General earller this week when he sent millions of dollars whistling about our ears. I don't. doubt one of his figures; I can. cede we spent every cent of them, and to I very large extent for worthy objects. But I still can't get it out of my head that we now owe, as of February 28th this year 518,885,000. Call it 517 million for the end of March. and in 1947 we owed 510,634,000, A difference 'of six million in four years means going behind at 1 1-2 miI1i0n per year. The Government budgets for a deficit of 1 1-3 mil- 10'! 13981 Year. and past experi- ence of estimate: tells us there will be an increase in the actual loan.
