.7 EASILY ANSWERED

“Whoever heard," asked Mr. St. Clair Trainor at the Charlottetown Liberal meeting last night, "of de- pression under Liberal rule?" Answer: Mr. Mackenzie King. He received a long and informative let- ter on this very subject from Prem- ior Sounders in December, 1928. Mr. Saunders complained bitterly about .g“our sad and distressing circum- stances," and cited harrowing in- stances of the dffliculties under 'which our farmers were laboring

while the rest of Canada was en- _1cying unprecedented prosperity. "I Ireally believe," he wrote, "that we

worse condition than we are at present experiencing." It was im- possible, (notwlthstanding the fake surplus announced in the Legisla- ture.) “to make revenue and ex- penditure moot.” Nothing for Pub- lic Health! Nothing for Old Age Pensions! Nothing for roads! (“N0 gravel on the Islandi") Noth- ing for the teachers, who were threatening to strike! Nothing for anything atiell. In fact, as Mr. Saunders eloquently put it, "unles we can get a substantial increase in our subsidy I honestly think that our Island might all well hoist its anchor and drift helplessly out to sea."

A long letter-all about the "de- pression under Liberal rule," which Mr. Mackenzie King said could never possibly have been written in i. single day.

Everything that Mr. Saunders said in 1928 was substantiated by Mr. Lea In 1980, (down to the absence of gravel!) in the brief which he presented to the Audit Board, asking for over four hundred thousand dol- lars as the “minimum subsidy m‘ crease" required by the Province to balance its budget in that period of Liberal depression!

Kllvcs HEA VIER TAXES

Their sorry record with regard to subsidy claims does not prevent the Liberal party candidates from criticising the amount of the Sub- sidy increase received by the Mac- Miilan Government. Great arm.- chair economsts, their leader, at the last legislative session, charged the Government with “neglecting

the added cost to consumers through the additional taxes put on by the Bennett Government in 1890." Mr. IePage, of Rustfco fame. figured that these increased taxes amounted to $425,000,000. His state- ment was anaiyred by Hon. Mr. MacPhee from the authoritative figures issued by the Dominion - Bureau of Audit. The result is in- teresting.

PUBLIC FORUM 1

A PENSION PUZZLE!

sin-As a humble tax-poyen-one of "the forgotten men." I em puzzled by one of the present campaign in- cidents on which you can perhaps enlighten me. Our Federal Govern- ment grants a generous ion or living allowance yearly unt death to all Civil Servants and other em- ployees under certain conditions af- ‘ter they have reached “the age of retirement"—-a fixed age when they are considered by the Government as having outlived their usefulness. and when they are withdrawn from circulation as no longer considered competent public servants. Part of their former salary. thereafter called a pension, is continued to the end by the tax-payers, irrespective of party. Now, a former Post Office employee. long retired from active work and drawing a good pension to which I and others of all parties contribute, is still active enough to stump the country in partisan role in this election campaign from Bradalbane to l-ligh Benin-a stren- uous feat in this mldsummerheat. Did he retire. too early? If his ser- vice and advice to the Post Office B Department is no longer considered useful, what of his advice m the public now? If’ he is still capable of useful labour why should we have to contribute to a pension for nim? Does the same law of neutrality and non-meddling apply to pensioners as to active civil servants? That is my puzzle. Will some one ask the Civil Service Commission or .the Post Office Department? will the ihree musketeers of the retreat from Rus- tico. Clair Campbell, Peter Sinclair

and Holmes look into it? I am, Sir, etc. FARMER-

Abyssirlia may be s. long way from the so-called storm centres of the world, but as the crisis be- tween Italy and Ethiopia deveicps, as Mussolini rattles his sabre more and. more loudly comment is not lacking that an outburst on the plateaux or North-east Africa may easily bring the uneasy structure of world peace down about our ears. Even the possbillty of such an issue should be enough to make short-sighted citizens realize that the world has grown too small to allow adventurers to run loosely at large.
