The war office said the drive was advancing along s line from Provsta to Vanvuke, with Demirhisssr the final objective of the north sud Tblshezi on the south.
Government troops easily carried
the Koumarlann bridge en route to Seres, said the communique. The land attack was being canted out in two spearhead movements. by way of the Koumariann and Orliako bridges. General Kondylis and glenerel Panyotokis were command- ng. Military classes from i920 to 1032 inclusive have been called out in Macedonia by the government to constitute a reserve body.
Government planes were reported to have bombed rebel barracks in the war zone, dropping more than 12 tons of high explosive. Pilots claimed n number of direct hits.
Apparently there was heavy dam- age and many deaths.
The sir squadron reported sink- ing an oil tanker apparently head- ink toward the rebel fleet with fuel.
PRELIMINARY BOMBARUMINT
Before dawn government artillery began its preliminary bombardment of rebel positions in the Btruma area. The troops, alter huddling all night in meagre shelters .esr the river stepped forth and began the push which Gen. Kondylis hopes will put teeth into his ultimatum of last week, "surrender or be crush- ed,"

“We do not shy that we are sat- isfied from a final settlement standpoint," said. the Premier. "We
do not accept it as such. Bun have.
quoted the attitude oi’ Etc-Premier Saunders to show the opinion he entertained about our prospects for any subsidy increase, back in 1929. And that is the period that my hon. friends boast about as being the most pmspemus in Canada's his- tcry."
The Premier challenged the al- leged "prosperity" at that time, when the balance of trade was heavily against this country and the stock market was crushing; but he pointed out that. on the argu- ment of the liberal embers, the Dominion Government could have afforded to grant a greater subsidy increase then than now. The west- ern Provlnces, he added, had suc- ceeded ln getting their claims set- tled in those years.
Quotes Kingston misstatement
On introducing the subject of subsidy claims the Premier first quot- ed from a Patriot report of Nov. 16, 1934, attributing to Mr. Lea. the statement, at a Liberal meeting at Kingston, that "the local Govern- ment had done ‘nothing until now on the eve of the election, they are endeavcring to have the recommen- dations of the Duncan Commission implemented." This tatement the Premier challenged u incorrect. It. was true that early in its adminis- tration the Government found ii: necessary to deal first with pres- ing problems, but it; had not ignor- ed our subsidy claims 0s on several occasions the matter had been urg- ed, both on visits to Ottawa. and at confezences with other Maritime Premiers. But even if the‘ Opposi- tion leader's statement had been
‘ true, the Premier said, the Conserv-
ative record would compare favor- ably wiih that of the Liberals. During the days of the Bell Gov- ernment and the Saunders-Lea. Regime, our claims were just as important as they are today; and what was done to obtain recogni- tion of them? Slmplf nothing. Mr. McIntyre said o mhtement had previously been made that nothirls had been done in the first two years of Conservative rule bp- ceuse they could not get the co- operation of the other provinces.
Premier MaoMillen: “in any easel we have made the effort, and wet have obtained the result." ‘
Mr. T. A. Campbell: “Final re- suit?"
Not Final
Premier MucMillan: “Not the final result. I suppose my hon. friend would like to go back to 1W1 when Sir Wilfrid Laurier want- ed to insert in the agreement that; the adjustment made at that time would be final and unalieteble. I do not take that stand. and I per- fectly agree with my hon. friends. the Premiers of Nova Scotla and New Brunswick, and say that this
is not final; because we do not con- _
sider we have received enough. We have done some fighting and have made some progress: we have got payment on account to the extent of $3,000,000. but we do not accept it us final payment.
Mr. T. A. Campbell: “If my hon. friend doesn't accept it es final, he hasn't got it. That was the Com- mission's finding.
Premier MacMillan: "We will take it all right, but not as a llnal settlement. The representative of the Maritime Provinces on the Commission,‘ the Hon. J. A. Moth- ieson, Chief Justice of this Pro- vince, has expressed the ideas of the three Maritime Premiers that this is not a ilnul and unaiteruble settlement."
"We have lvrurd a greet deal about subsidy claims in the last thirty years," the Premier said, “but I do not think it. can be cieniezl that there is no comparison between the records of the two parties on this subject. The sum totni of Liberal eiforts has been Nill-n great big Negative, while the record of the Conservative party begins with the able presentation which chief Jus- tice Muthieson. as Premier of this Province, made in 1912. On that oc- cnsion he obtained $100,000 ol an- nual revenue increase from Ottawa. Let 11011. members figure that up for twenty-three years, with inter- est, and they will find it represents well over 53,000,000."
