Here are a few sample planks from the Liberal ‘plat- form of May, 1939: _ _

And remember, the eighteen Liberal candidates now. seeking re-election had it within their own _ power all through the last four years to carry them all into effect.

Plank No. 2 of the 19x9 Liberal Plstf "Effective budgets .- Mn- trol of all departmental expenditures and maintenance of a. proper cons- petitive basis for all supplies and ‘ ts."

Read the Public Accounts. See who got the money. See who supplied the Boots and Clothing and all the other needs. Find out who were asked for tenders and for how many of the items. Ask about the immense purchases that don’t appear in the Public Accounts at all.

Plank No. ll of the 1939 Liberal ﬂatform-“Dust free pavements for the main streets of villages situated off the trunk highways.”

Residents of a good many Prince Edward Island vil- lages will while continuing to swallow dust do a bit of re- membering about this plank.

Plank Ne. s of the 198D Idbersl Platform-“A special etndy of the health problems of rural districts."

Ask the eighteen about the notable isnprovements that they have made as the result of this plank. Plank No. l8 of the 1939 Liberia! Platform read as follows-"Progres-

slve Improvement of secondary and more effective mainten- ance of clay and gravel roads."

Every resident of Prince Edward Island except those who never leave the towns and the few pleasure drivers who never take their cars off the paved, roads, know all about that one. They’ll read it and weep. And agood many pf them are fully resolved to do something more about

t too.

'And then there was the lastand final plank. Plank No. Id of the Liberal Platform of 1939.

This was the great big and important plank of their whole 1939 election campaign. What hopes were held out before the young people in respect to It; how the new homes were going to be opened up. And how those who wanted to dispose of land were canvassed and how easy it was going to be to make profitable sales. What visions for the poorer farmers who were to be rehabilitated.

Ifers is how the Liberal Plank No. 18 reel In Clad! 1K Plltfelll - "The inauguration of a comprehensive scheme for the ra-habllftation d

sub-standard farms, the placing of young men on farms, and the assist- ance to needy farmers." '

What is the situation today? Everyone who travels our rural roads knows only too well. And as they pass the boarded up windows and the nailed up doors they remem- her the promises and they don't forget that in this Pro- vince where enlistment from the farms was far greater per capita than in the other provinces that notwithstanding fast approaching food shortages and dearth of farm labor that the Military Service Act was used in this Province to remove young men from the farms on an altogether differ- ent basis-on an immeasurably harsher baids — than in other parts of Canada.

These were the promises which the all powerful eigh- teen candidates now seeking re-election made last time. Premier Jones was one of the eighteen. I Prime Minister Mackenzie King was in office all the t me. These were written promises. How much attention can be pald to their spoken words this time? ~ _
