Announcement W as Made by Premier _ King Yesterday in His Speech on th Address. »

(From Our Own Cur espondent)

OTTAWA, Feb. ifs-Right Hon. Macifienzie King announced in his speech on the address today that there would be no general elections this year. He announced also that a minister of. fisheries would be ape , ‘ ‘ ’. Because it would serve no good purpose to engage in a district discussion and only mean a waste of money, the opposition does not propose to prolong the debate on the address. - ‘

This important innovation was an- nounced by Hon. It. B. Bennett when he roae to speak this afternoon. at announced the Conservatives would

dress. It was the practice in the House of Cennmons to allow the ad- dress to pass with little discussion so that parliament could get down to business and Mr. Bennett said the opposition was adopting this practice.

‘This is the first time in years that it has been decided by a party in parliament to limit debate out of

The public library has been moved into the large, well lighted rooms formerly occupied by the telephone company, a move which, I think, will meet with the approval of the rate payers. The electric light depart- ment has, under the chairmanship of Councillor sehurman, had a very euccessflri year, giving to the citizens a splendid service. A ten thousand gallon storage tank has been installed and an interest secured in a railway aiding which will assure to the town a big saving in the cost of fuel oil. It was found necessary during the pres- ent month to replace a liner in num- ber two engine. and I wish at this time to congratulate the staff on the short time taken to make the repairs and at a very small cost. During the year your committee added fourteen new street lights making a total of one hundred and fifty two lights. The police department has been fairly active during the year but re- gret to say that it has been far from satisfactory to the council and it is to be regretted that. according to the police report. there has been a large increase in the number of arrests and I will cite a few comps ' fer the past flve years.

One of the most barefaced attempts in the political history of the pro- vince to mislead the public is disclosed in the latest report concerning the imbroglio resulting from the accident to the car ferry. The accident oc- curred on Tuesday, Jan. 16th. On Wednesday, Jan. 11th, it was an- nounced in the Patriot that "on Fri- day next about 5 o'clock the car ferry will leave Borden for Halifax to undergo repairs which it is ex- pected will take about one week," and that "in the meantime, the ice- breaker Montcalm which is dua in Sydney today. will run between Georgetown and Plctou, carrying pas. lengers and mails only." The public was also assured that “the Federal

Preeentatives. Hon. John E. Bin- ciair and Mr. R. H. Jenkins, M. P., are keeping in close touch with the situation and oo-operating with the authorities to see that everything ponible is done to give the Island as an eflleient service as possible under the circumstances." ’

‘On the following day, Jan. iethrthe Patriot announced that “there has been still another ” in the rap- idly changing situation created by the accident to the car- ferry. It was hoped to have the Montcalm placed on the Ceorgetown-Pictou route, but Bllberintendent Grady in- forms the Patriot that this at pres- ent is not possible, but that manager Appleton wires him that the Stanley which has been lying n Halifax, au~ 111111060. has been ordered to be in readiness to take up the service on the Borden-Tbrmentine route. It is honed that she will be able to leave

would have been seriously handicap- ped if not damaged beyond repair,

Province would have been complete- ly disrupted. These facts were re- peatedly phasized by The Guar- dian at the time, and no attempt was made to oontrovert them. The change in plans was obviously one of , l expediency to which the railway authorities weakly yielded at the instance of an interested politic- ian who proved himself, in this in- stance, more zealous than wise.

And now comes the brazen attempt to‘ wl ‘ -h the facts and mislead public opinion. The Patriot, after maintaining silence on the subject when the facts were prominently be- fore the people, now comes forward with an alleged interview with Mr. W. U. Appleton, General Manager of the C. N. R. Atlantic Division, in which Mr. Appleton is ‘reported as follows:

"Mr. Appleton rays that when the car ferry had the accident he proceeded at once to Tormentine. accompanied by Mr. Johnson, Bu- perlntendent of Car Ferries. also by an engineer. They had a confer- ence with Captaln Read and as a result the Stanley was ordered on the Borden-Tormcutins route, it being impossible to get the Mont-

‘ calm released from her present

"service to operate on the George-

town-Pictou route as at first pro-

posed."

In order to show clearly how grossly misrepresentative of the ac- tual facts is this reputed interview with Mr. Appleton, we quote the foi-

Haiifax either Saturday evening or Blinder moraine. so as to begin work on Monday morning, or at, least not later than Tuesday." As pointed out by The Guardian at the time, the reason for the eubati- tution of the Stanley for the Mont- calm. and the Iorden-Termcutine route, for the Georgetown-Pictou route. was due to political interfer- flwl iiilre and simple. There was no question. at the time of the announce. mint in the patriot on Jan. 17th, that the Montcalm was not available and that the railway authorities were not prepares to Place this steamer on the eastern route during the tie-up o! the ear ferry. r-led this service been provided, with another steam- er to take eare of freight shipments. the oar ferry could lihve been reliev- ed at once for repairs in drydook, Political interests, however, prevail- ed.

The Pioneer explains that since the accident the car ferry "has made one trip a day and is making her last today (Fri- day) as definite word was on Thurs- day issued from the Railway man- agement that the oar ferry steamer was to proceed to Halifax for repairs and that the Montcalm would be placed on the Georgetown-Pieter: route. Mr. A. E. MacLean, M.P., im- mediately wired Mr. W. U. Appleton as follows:

He added that it was the most un- satisfactory crop In years, no one was particularly at fault but the disappointment made the farm- ers critical of the methods of marketing.

“Go into anysmall town in the west, he said, when Ills state- ment was questioned, and the merchants there will say that the farmers have no purchasing 110W". If they had made lots of money out of their wheat this would not have been the case."
