three chief grounm:

1. That the Maritime Provinces have received no adequate return for additional territorial grants in Ontario, Quebec Brltilh Columbia. Manitoba, Batatchewan and Al-

2. That the Dominion ss a whole does not pay to the Maritime Pro- vinms an adequate subsidy in lieu oi the lose of former colonial cus- toms and excise duties and in lieu of the territorial grants to other mvvinc oi Canada.

s. e Intel-colonial Railway was ‘built as part oi the Confederation connect the Maritime Pro- vinces with Central Canada and to be the ” ‘,, of conveying the goods and produce of Central and Western Canada over that railway to the Atlantic portsflat least through the winter period. and in return to convey farm prodwe, lumber, fish and coal of the Mari- times to the markets of Central Cacds. at such a freight rate as would allow the people of the Mari- time Provinces to receive a fair re- turn and be enabled to earn a de- cent livelihood, in competition with the central provinces.

New Brunswick. one‘ oi the four original provinces to Confederation. had not extended its boundaries since 1807. due to its-geographical position. Neither had Nova Scotia nor Prince Edward Island.-

“Wedidnctnecd anymorewat- or." continued 0dr. Tilley. “but we wanted land. and if because of our geographical situation we could not got land, then we want compensa- tion for the lands that were given to the other provinces by the Do- minion in- which we have a part- ncrship."

With s. specially prepared map, Premier Tilley drew attention first to the inrriiorial accessions to 0n- tario and Quebec since they joined the union. Ontario had been given a total increase oi 110,000,000 acres to her provincial bmnds "some oi which is good mining country to- day." He recalled the Patricia dia- trict, as an illustration. Quebec had been given 327,000,000 acres of “our nationally owned territory."

From the central provinces, he turned to Western Canada. Mani- toba's bounds had been increased iour times its original sine and had received 114,000,000 acres from the unorganized territory lands pur- chased by the four original pro- vinces o! confederation. including New Brunswick, from the Hudson Bay Company. To British Colum- bia had been given the railway belt lands.

MEETING Biiilitiiiliili

Provincial Commis- sioner Warren Will Visit S’side On Mon- day to Outline De- tails of Campaign For Funds. .

A meeting of the Scout Council of Summerside was held last night to arrange for the visit on Monday of Provincial Commissioner War- ren oi Charlottetown, who is to address the committee and others interested in scouting, on scout work and to outline the details of the camipalgn for funds which is to take place in the near future. Mayor Lldstone pmslded. Those present were Hon. A. F. Arsenault, K. C., J. Leroy Holman, Joseph Callaghan, J. J. limman, .1. F. Ar- nett, B. L. Mcllison and Scout Mas- ter E. J. Hallett and assistant Scout Master Percy Wedge.

Scout Master i-iallett gave a brief outline of the object oi the meet- ing and the coming campaign for scouting. Hon. Mr. Arsenault gave a report on a meeting he attended lest Friday in Charlottetown of the executive oi the Provincial Boy Scout Council and referred to the uery generous donation oi His Hon- our Lieut. Govcmcr DeBlois, Pot- ron, who started the campaign with 01,000. Mr. Arsenault said he considered the Boy Scout move- ment should receive the support of every progressive witizrzn as it was an educational movement which de- veloped character, dlscipline and individuality, which is a very nec- essary ifnlng for the youth 0i today to acquire. Mr. Azsenault consid- ered that there was _a good field in Summerside for the work but that leaders were lacking. It was very , ecessary for the public to know more oi’ this scout business and that if the people with the time and mcrcy would get behind the move- ment Prince Coun would go over the top in ccntribu ing its share to the funds. Messrs Callaghan, Ar- nebt, and Mcllison were appointed to prepare a list oi names oi those citisens who they considered would be interested in the work.

A general discussion took place on the difficulties which are at prcaent confronting the local or- ganisation. It was the consensus oi opinion that ii the general pub- lic knew more about the work and its educational value to boys citi- mne would do all in th-cir power to assist the scout movement. Mr. J. Leroy Hollnitn very kindly offer- ed to broadcast information regard- ing the work. Many suggestions were made regarding raising funds. The council will meet again on Monday evening when Provincial Commissioner warren will address

them orl the details of the drive for funds.

_ One feature cf the progrem es- pecially worthy oi mention was the part songs by Mrs. F. M. Nash, Miss Margaret Stems, Miss Davida Baker, Miss Doris Tait, Miss Berna l-lucstls, Miss Lillian MEX!- Kenzie and Miss Pearl Burns. These artists, who appeared to- gather for the first time last night, rendered with fine tonal quality, "Wi' a Hundred Pipers,” and "Plow Gently Sweet Afton," and pleased the audience greatly by a later in the program and singing "Skye Boat Song" and "Bonnie Doon."

It will be recalled that the east wing of Falconwood was completely reconstructed and the institution opened early last year, and that the work received the unanimous up- provul oi the Legislative members, and subsequently oi the public at the formal opening ceremonies. Since then, the old" Infirmary has been reconstructed to accommodate the patients formerly housed in the Sims building.

It is indeed gratifying that $15,- 000 of the labour costs of this ex- penditure will be paid by the Fed- eral Government, through the re- presentations oi Premier MacMillnn and his Government colleagues and the active resistance and co-opcrai- tlon of the Conservative federal members for the Province.
