Liberal Candidates Admit Potato Tariff Wiped Out

{Jountervailing Duties, Made At Washington, Only Protection Against Dumping of American Pom. toes Into Canada, Messrs. Macmilian AndiJen- kins Admit, But Confelld That This Will Not Be injurious. Mr. Jenkins Confesses Himself All At Sea On New Zealand Treaty. Conservative

Candidates In Brilliant Form.

“ At Bonshnw last night, for the first time in the political oimpaign, the Liberal candidates Messrs. Macmillan and leukins, admitted that the Dunning budget had wiped out the Canadian tariff on potatoes and substituted therefore a countervailing duty which may be raised, lowered or abolish- ed altogether at the dictation of Washington. They contend- ed, however, that this would be to the benefit of Canadian producers. This argument was effectively disposed of by Hon. John H. livers, in the ten minutes allowed him at the close of the meeting. ‘

Another point scored by the Conservatives was in Mr. R. li. Jenkins‘ admission that he was unable to say whether the abrogation of the New Zealand treaty was good policy or otherwise. ‘a

Both the, Conservative candidates were in exceptionally good form last night, Mr. McLure making one of the most brilliant speeches of his campaign. They were greeted with vociferous applause as they stepped on the platform, and the enthusiasm rose as the audience sensed the vigor with which Messrs. lIiy-ers and McLure “went after” their opponents Mr I'm!» i" his Opening Speech. picked to pieces the speech which Mr. Macmillan was preparing to deliver- and M1- Me. lure, who followed Mr. Macmillan, performed the sameberv- ice for Mr. Jenkins.

REPUDIATES MISSTATEMENT

"I wish to deny emphatically that I ever mule the statement, attributed to me by the Pstrlot newspsper of last Ssturdsy, that there is no duty n. sll ' e , - e ' him Csnmds." declared Mr. Myers. ‘My statement was this: Previous to Msy 1st there wss s tariff sgslnst Amul- can potatoes of 85 cents per 100 , unds. The " ’ budlet wiped that tariff out completely. In each csso-ln British preference, in inter- mediate and general .tarlffs,—pots- toes have been marked on the free list. Instesd of any stable tariff we have now only s counts: "fling duty. imposed st Washington. which .the United Ststes can manipulste st will. If st any time the American produc- ers wish to flood our market with their potatoes. they can “couxf snd that duty goes down or vsnhh- es altogether until the period of their surplus production is over. when they csn "counlervsli" sgsln 1nd Ihnf- Ill out of their market completely .1)!

rsistng their tariff to s prohibition-y rste.

' "I bsve never said that there was not st present a countervailing duty of 75 cents per 100 lbs. But I hsve explained how that might be used sgslnst us. And I want wmobody else to explain to you why they didn't leave the old duty of 35 cents per I00 lbs. They left it on other things: Why didn't they lesve It on potatoes?" (Loud s,plsuse).

CHALLENGE STILL UNANEWEBED

Mr. Myers dealt fully snd convin- cingly with the New Zealand butter issue, pointing out the fsct that the Liberal csndldstu hsve not yet stated where they stood on this im- portant issue.

"I ‘ understand why the Duncan Commission left the matter of our subsidy claims ‘up in the sir.‘ They were well psid; their time was not stinted: Why couldn't they have

"Mr. .Mscmtllsri will endeavor to convince you that all that is neces- ssry to do is vote for him and Mr. Jenkins and we will get car-loads of subsidy money by the next trip of the ferry: but I don't think he be- lieves thst story himself."

Mr. Myers then deslt trenchsntly with the smbtguous "if snd when" cisuse in the Education Commission Report. which outlines plsns for reis- lng provincial tsxes for Increased t chers’ salaries provided an addi- tional subsidy is not received from Ottawa. '

As seen from the above, Prince Edward Island. even with the additional interim subsidy of $125,000. IS REALLY NO BETTER OFF THAN WHEN THE CONSERVATIVES RELINQUISHED OFFICE.

Unemployed.

VANCOUVER“ B. 0., July IB-Brt- tish Columbia's Premier sud Mlnistaer of Labor have contrsdicted the abste- ment by Prime wnlster Mackenzie King thst no provinces has asked for unemployment sid. Both Premier B. F. Tolmie. of the eosst province, srid Hon. W. A. Mackenzie, his Minister of Labor, lsst night produced docu- ments asking ,thc Dominion to co- operate in coping with the jobless sit- ustion.

"I csnnot understand Mr. King's claim that be has never hsd the uri- employment situation brought to his stteritiori," stated Premier Tali-hie. He mentioned that the unemploy- ment resolution of A. A. Heaps (Ls- bor, Winnipeg North) calling for im- mediate government action on unem- ployment had been voted down by the Libersls "to s man" every Con- servative, he said, voted for the res- oiution.

Quotes Correspondence ‘and Telegram

“Apart from the resolution of Mr. Heaps," the British Columbis Prem- led added. "I quote the correspond- ence betwee Mayor Ralph H. Webb, of Winnipeg, and myself, sad my tele- gram to Mr. King. ll-lls reply states clearly that he will take the matter under consideration."

Premier Tolmle stated that the fol- lowing telegrsm hsd been despttched on February 22 to Premier King:

"Understand Masatoobs government has made representations regarding unemPloyment situation, particularly with reference to ex-servtce men Terms of such representations sre before you and in them this govern- merit earnestly Joins, British Colum- bia's mild winter climate sttracts numbers of these men who become a public charge and the situation places on municipal sud provincial relief resources s most severe strain. Earnestly desire that Dominion co- operate tn some wsy.

King Promised Consider-stint:

The British Columbls Premier pro- duced s letter from Premier King's secretary acknowledging receipt ' of the telegram. The letter ssid:

We Want Action and Not Words

"Let us not be deceived," he said at one stage. "Let us get to gripe with our problems. Let 11s have sc- tion and not words."

Mr. King hadsaid, the Opposition leader declared, that he (Mr. Ben- nett) was wrong in calling parlia- ment unless he had some exceptional proposals to submit to parliament; "Vlcll," he exclaimed, "I have well considered proposals to submit to

parliament, otherwise I would riot have said I would call , a special session after July 20

And against a re- ported statement.- of Premier King early iri the campaign that there was no unemployment, the Opposition leader quoted figures of the U. S.

The whole record of the government for the last Clglli years, Mr. Bennett told his audience. should be reviewed by all Canadians.
