climaxlng s Buckingham Pllflti,

The following address was given last night by Major J. A. Mac- Donald, former Progressive-Con- servative member of the» Lexis- lature for the Cardigan District:

"This ls the beginning of a series of talks on Provincial Politics on behalf of the Progress- ive-Conservstive Party which will continue for some months. It i! my privilege to open this series under the headin: of "The General Political situation in Prince Edward Island." Through- out the course of these few words and, those of the speakers to follow it is planned that the re- marks of our group may not be rendered fruitless by mflre des- tructive critlcism. Rather it ls our intention that they be en- lightening through the introduct- ion of informative and thought- provoklng facts.

"A discussion of the subject just named embodies a variety of topics and covers a wide field. Only a few phases can be discuss- ed in one address. Any consider- ation of our Provincial picture naturally overlaps into the Feder- al. Thence itmay broaden out. to include the world situation which is unfortunately so dis- turbed and unsettled at this moment. In this regard it is cur frsrvenb ‘hope that out of the serious Berlin crisis there may not arise a repetition of the past conflict from which we are still badly shaken and vainly seeking a satisfactory settlement.

Agriculture

"As agriculture is the basic industry of this Provinc; I will deal firstly (with the condition of the farmer today. Across Can- ada his position is becoming more difficult with time. According to a recent index of the Dominion Bureau of Statistics cash returns to the famner have dropped off, the farm products index having declined from 149.1 to 145,1 points. Despite this, the cost of living index, now higher than ever be- fore stands at 159.9 points and continuep to rise.

“Food new costs the consumer irwlce what it did in 1939 and has gone up at the alarming rate of 4.1 points in the past year. It is indeed unfortunate that the yield of potatoes our main cash crop in this province - will be greatly reduced this year. Should the need arise of obtaining a, floor price, as in the spring of i947. it is to he hoped that our government will impress on the Dcmlnic-n Government the necess-

ity of establishing same — and establishing it high enough to cover present day costs of pro-

ducticn. Ilxorbltant Freight Rates

“One of the greatest factors. next to the unreasonable demands made on them by the Income Tax laws of the Dominion, that ls making the farmer's lot more difficult is the increase in freight rates. In the Maritlmes he is caught both ways on this problem -- naming. oll extra charges on his feeds and going, on additional charms on the export. irif his produce. A farmer who ships out his own produce declared recent- ly that the difference under the new freight rates is going to coal’. him six hundred and fifty dollars more this year than last._

“Our Provincial Government says that they are fighting this increase yet every one of our Federal Liberal members support- ed it at the last session of the House of Commons thereby putting central Canada in a more preferred position than ever be- fore. Just where does the Liberal part/y fit on this all important question? While they are bounc- ing it around from. one to an- other like a hot potato our Pro- vince continues to suffer greatly. Precious months have been lost which have cost our primary pro- ducers thousands of dollars. our famicrs want immediate action on this very important. problem rather than endless delays and evasions of responsibility.

Fiscal Dilemma

"At this point I would like to speak briefly of our present fiscal position. 1n the i047 Legislature we of the Opposition opposed. and we felt quite justiiy and honestly. the financial arrange- ment with the Dominion on the grounds that is was not a fslr and adequate settlzmcnt.

"This Government, apparently unable to obtain s better one despite the huge surplus of the Dominion, tried unsuccessfully to defend their bad bargain. while the overwhelming weight o: the facts’ produced by the opposition lost. the government's physical majority ‘won. What. was the re- sult? This spring the government found itself in an embarrassing financial position. No doubt its predicament was heightened by what older people claim was a pro-election spending spree last fall of undreamed-of proportions.

“The cat was out of the bl: st the very first session. In rc- volt. at such financing the Pro- vincial ‘rrbssurer resigned. The Leader or the government. in putting on a show of doing acme- thing. publicly ,lPflT\kS several of his ministers before the House for exceeding their estimates.

"A further proof of our danger- ous fiscal dilemma was demon- strated clearly when the Premier in speaking IbQLOTQ the recent Plobiacito threatened that if the new Temperance Act were not passed additional taxes would have to be levied.

ducing theirs is a matter of great concern,

‘This trail of extravagance has to be followed by we or the young- er generation and it throws on our sholders an unnecessary ad- ditional burden in servicing and reducing this mounting deficit. Despite this sorry showing the government saw fit lo incl-ease the sesslonal indemnity to one thousand dollars per year -- a move quit-e umecessary at this time and certainly not in keeping with our finances.
