last Liberal administration got from the Mackenzie King govern- ment. The answer was not at all reassuring. They received no ex- tra subsidy. The MooMillan Gov- ernment on the other hand has got an additional $150,000 a year. At the present time this Province is receiving more co r ed with the population than either of the other two Maritime Provinces.

Mr. Currie again pointed out that the government did not spend $3.000 hauling clay from the Ex- hibition Association grounds to please the Exhibition Association as claimed by Mr. LePage. The money was spent 0n laibor in Charlottetown and the surround- ing districts, The Exhibition Asso- ciation gava the clay free where had it been obtained elsewhere it might have had to be paid for.

Speaking about the cars for oi- ficials which the Liberals wish to abolish, Mr. Currie pointed out that under the last Liberal Gov- ernment a car was supplied the Premier. However when the pres- ent Premier took office he sold the car for $1,000 and the "money was put into road machinery,

Continuing. the speaker pointed out the benefits accruing to this country as a result of the Empire trade agreement and cited the in- crease in pork prices as an ex- ample. He then went on to show how unfavorable trade balances under the Liberals had been re- versed under the Bennett Govern- ment's trade policy.

Mr. B. W. LePage, the next speaker, in his opening remarks expansively stated: "I think my services have been appreciated by a" great many Pwplc in the last four years." He next attacked The Guardian, which he complained had made misstatements about the applause at the Canoe Cove meet- ing. “We got nine-tenths of the applause," he claimed, while people who had been at both meetings stared in amazement. ‘

Referring to the repairs which are being made to the Provincial Building. Mr. LePage claimed that. “at the rate they are tearing it down it will probably have to be built over again."

Every building belonging to the Government was on fire during their term of office; Mr. LePage stated. The Prince of Wales Col- lege fire was caused by the janitor filling the furnace "chock" full oi coal, and it burst, That is the gen- oral opinion and he" believed it correct, Mr. LePage claimed.

‘The Liberal Government is going to demand that their officials have cars Mr. IiePaga stated. There will probably be an allowance provided for that purpose, he said.

‘Speaking on the Subsidy claims Mr. IePage referredto the $150,000 additional. yearly subsidy received by the MacMlllan Government as “not being of much use to this Province.”

In conclusion Mr. UsPage claimed that the Liberal Party intend to refund the debt of this Province at 2 per cent interest rate. If any- one has money in bonds and doesn't want to take a lower rate of inter- est they will give him his money.

Mr. D. F. Betihune in a spirited tpeech pointed out that a consider- able part of the borrowing of the Liberal Gover-runent wenttopaythe overdraft and unpaid bills left by the last Liberal Govlerrunent. He reminded the audience how that district had been neglected under theLiberals. Shortly afterthepres- ent Government was returned to power a. bridge was constructed at Kingston, a bridge which had been needed for several years. He re- fened to the claim the last Gov- ernment always made that there was no gravel on Prince Edward- Island. Thousands of dollars was spent by the Idberal Government to bring gravel into this province. The present Government has been using Island gravel and it is a better material for 106d building in this province as it packs better. Mr. Bethune defied anyone to prove that dkcriminatiow. was made in who was employed to haul gravel.

Speaking about the walls and foundation of the old college Mr. ‘Bethune pointed out that the Gov- ernment did not destroy them without expert advice. The present building was built on modern scientific principles. outside educa- tionalists state t-hat the present building is the flnm educational institution in the country.

_ In regard to the Marketing Act Mr. Bethune pointed out it was an

well in the case of hogs. M Answering the criticism about the fiita of int paid on a bond issue 1y the M an Government, Mr. Bethune pointed out that in i921 ‘the Liberal Government borrowed Ynoney at 6%. “m. Angus uofmea. the last

In regard to the Marketing Act he claimed the agents of the Gov- ernment "went through the coun- try forcing the farmers to go into it"

He did not agree with Mr- LePage about the cars for officials. “If I have my way there will be less of- ficials and less pay and no cars," he claimed.

As the hour was late when Mr. MbPhee finished Mr. Currie did not make a rebuttal.

Still pressed for an answer, he said: "You didn't get any rum from me; you got benedictine."

PIPE BAND

Black Watch Garb Of Famous Regiment Will Be Worn 0n Parade This Even- mg.

When the Pipe Band of the P. EJ. Highlanders" parades this evening to the railway station to meet the C ‘ land Highlanders, the mem- bers will be attired in their new imiforms which have just. arrived front Scotland. _

About two years ago the Prince Edward Island Highlanders were given the signal honour. oy royal assent of becoming affiliated with the famous Black Watch Royal Highland Reghnent. By reason of its affiliation" with the Black Watch the Pipe Band is entitled to wear full highland dress as is worn by the pipers of the parent regiment. The pipers and drummers wear the large feather bonnet which consists of ostrich feathers imported from Australia, doublet or tunic. kilt and 890mm, and white spais. The dou- blet of the pipers is green with gold trimmings. They also wear the magnificent Royal Stewart tartan for their kilt as well as a beautiful ten yard shawl of the same design. The tunic of the u. mmers is red, and they wear the kilt of the Black Watch, and a. shorter shawl than do the pipers, also of the Black Watch design.

The dress supplemented by the plaid breach cross and waist belts, drum carriers, hose tops, white cords and white ribbons presents a. magnificent pictureespecially when the whole band is on parade.

The Highlanders are to be con- gratulated on the progress made in regard to the matter of dress in recent years. This equipment is costing the regiment, members oi which are paying for it themselves, in the vicinity of $2,000.

The pipe band will this evening to the railway station to meet the Cumberland Highlanders. who arrive by train to participate in the training of the 18th Infantry Brigade at Camp Brighton for the next two weeks.

Under stiff cross-examination, Ab. bott appeared rather hazy about the Battle of Hastings, the Battle of Waterloo and the invasion of Brit- ain by Caesar, but he said proudly‘ "I remember when Columbus discov- ered America," and “I can remember about Napoleon's retreat into Moe- cow and I can tell you under what conditions." '

Abbott, who also said he could remember the wording of telegrams he had sent to Thomas Rmsiter of Halifax, one of/the 11 accused, on behalf of Capt. Israel Ilillington over a year ago, now came in for the stiffest memory test of all. _

Picking up a copy oi a Halifax paper, Major Daniel Owen, K.C., of Annapolis Royal, tore two clippings from it and gave Abbott several minutes to read them. When‘ the witness gave faltering replies to questions, the defence counsel said: "It speaks for itself."

Most of the day's evidence centred around Prince Edward Island, and several witnesses described how con- tacts were made with ships oil’ the coast and how liquor was landed on the Island.

UITAWA. July 9—Prime Minis ter R. B.
