That appears to bu. the most important matter; I trlisI.' that it will turn nut :10. but wc havr yet to see. ft is not a matter corl-; ns-ctcil with the Governlril-iit. how- ever. ,The most important thing lmentioned in this par‘. (if tlic speech. so far as the Province is. .- conoemed, is this matter ni agricul- ‘tilral co-operation and the recent marvellous. development along co- operative lines. Aswe all know. our lEgg and Poultry Association has been pronounced the most perfect Z organization of its kind in the world 1 by competent authorities. Added to gthis we have the Potato Growers’ Association, and we have heard thc llistory_of this organization. lnore »fully described by my hon. friend 1 from Bcdeque. We have adoplcdi - think. the only method by which our agricultural products can find their proper place on the markets of the world. and that is by developing the quality; because we all maintain‘ that we can produce in this Pro-l vince agricultural products oi pcr- liaps flnerquallty than anywhere in the world. It is simply a matter of development-and I think wc all realize by this time that the royal. road to development of quality is; ulong the line of co-opel-atlorl. I hope that this spirit will spread to all of the branches of agriculture in the,Provlnce. as it apparently, seems to be doing. I notice that paragraph No. 8 of l the Speech refers t0 a policy for. the development of pure bred cattle- by a system of loaning pure bred sires. .My hon.~frlend from Bedequc‘ as I understood him this morning. spoke of that ‘as "tilougll it were, somethhg new. That. of course. is not so. That policy was lnaugurat-E ed some years ago by the Federal; Government; it is a scheme that is Dominion wide, but unfortunately. it was dropped about a year and a! half ago by that Government. and last year it was taken up and car- ried on as best it could be-by the Provincial Government. If my hon.‘ friend from Bedeque will refer to. my speech on the Budget last year. 'he will find that, it wasoirtlined there. _ . I will not say anything with rc- gard to the improving or encourage- ment. of the breeding of horses. Wc cannot discuss that until there something more definite before us. I trust it will be more successful than the scheme undertaken by ml’ hon. friend the Minister of Agricul- lure some years ago. _ .1 come to paragraph l2. which I find is the banner paragraph oi 1.111‘ Speech. and which describes my lion. friends visit to the Old Coun- iry.

With respect to technical and agricultural education. that is an-l other matter which has been put fcrll/zzrd hcrc as if it were new ground. brlt concerning which thcrc is nothing new. We found ourselves in a very unfortunate position wht-n w: lost the Federal grant for Agri- culture. both financially and other- wise: and we made an effort. and a very strong effort. to have the Tcthnical grant deflected in that direction. I myself had the oppor- tunity of placing this matter before the Duncan Commission at the sit- tings held in this Chamber, and as a result of that it was recommend- cd in ihe Duncan Report. Follow- ing that the Provincial Govt-rn- "lpnt took the matter up with tlic. Federal Department of Labor. A ccnfczence was held something over n. year ago, I think in the month of February. at Ottuwapwhich wasat- tanded by Mr. Shaw, Mr. Boulicr. and myself. and where the claims of this Province were presented. At that conference. I think, almost all the Provinces were represented as well as thc Federal Departmcrlt. Tile importance of having tllisrllat- ter attended to. of having the scone- cf that technical grant ivideried ill- to thc field of agriculture so far as, possible. was urged. and following that Mr. Crawford of the Federal Department visited this Province.‘ and the plan was arranged. We are not advised as to whether that "cope ha bceli still further widen- ed. bilt I think I can yet find acopy of the program that was laid down and agreed upon at that time. and which certainly did widen 1118500119‘ so far as to make it available for‘ every improvement that is suggest- cd here as being thc policy now to be caricd out. Those are the facts. Mr. Speaker.‘ I anl very glad that they are following this out. I hope that we will again get that grant io cover agricultural education. As I said before. it is very important r a Ito the proper carrying on of oilr who h agricultural and certain kinds oi technical education ill this Province. The Fisheries is mentioned twice in tlic Speech. We read the state- nlent: “Our basic industries. agri- culture. fisheries andgfox farming". azc ill a very profitable and highly" Then we have. latcr on. the proposal for education along the line of Fisher- ies. I wonder will all the members of this l-Iousc agree with that state- ment. that our Fisheries are ill a profitable and highly satisfactory rcnditicn? Will thc lion. member for Morell agree with that? I no- lice thc member from Ml. Stewart is not in his scat; I wonder will he .=grcc with it? Would my horl. col-l maguc from Georgetown agree with it? These arc gentlemen who know ometlring about tlic fishing industry in this province. So fal- as I can ascertain the Fisheries are not and have not been in a profitable and ztisfactory condition in this Pro- lince. I am vcry glad to noticc F1181. something is about to be dune vith regard to education along the line of Fisheries. but even that has not originated with this Govt-rn- ment. I notice that the line they are following is this: They have it so arranged that fishermen may be sent to Halifax to be educated ill llleir work. I am very doubtful as l0 how many 0f.our ordinary fish- iermen. even it their expenses are very largely paid. will avail them- xelves of that 111111116811 The policy that we had in mind. I may say. was somewhat different; it was to send over there certain picked men to receive thus special training; men who would afterwards be fitted to collie back and as full-time em- ployecu go about and teach what they learned to our fishermen on the ground. spending their time going from place to place and not only demonstrating to the fishermen the proper methods of curing and lpreparlng fish for the market. but ‘o organlzatio . with: a view to hav- 1i the Fisheries of this Province lplaced on the same basis as the po~ lento and the egg and poultry busi- no“; m“. is, of encouraging that spirit of co-operatlon among the fishermen. so that they will be able to get together on this matter.

REPLY T0 CHARGES Tile third mat-tel" is against 1I1_V- sélf personally; it. is not very ser- iou.';;-'-tllal. I pluccd this platform in our formal policy without cori- sultlill; the Conservative party. As I said before. that is another‘ irrat- tcr of internal rnilliageluent; ii is a matter that concerns only 1111' Liberal-Conservative party. I have only to say thiri it is absolutely" uri- iruc. ‘Ill-vii, 1 think. should bi- enough. With regard to all those charges that have. been made in tlic pilblic press and elsewhere. this is the first opportunity I have had of dealing; with thc matter. because I lliln‘ nI-vcr yet indulged ill newspaper- correspondence; I liutc ricvcr yo‘. written anything for :1 rlclvspapcr either anonymously or Oi11"I‘\\'in.‘E and I deem this to be 11R‘ plllllvl‘ place to iliaki- any r-xplurliriilill ill:it P1 ‘silry to mukt‘. made tlicsv (rxplullutiurls :1.“ to lllake :1 statcnlcrlrof our position with respect to this matter of Prohibition at the present time. As the last Election ap- proached. thcnLiberal (Ionservativc party. after careful‘ consldcratiorl. decided to place ill its policy. as I said. a nleasilre 0f Govcrnnlcnt Control. Having’ come to that dc- ClFlCli. they put it fairly and sq ly before the people. and they - satisfied to stand or fall by it. They wont to the people with ii illrd tll told the one story from beginning to cud with regard lo it. There was no hedging; vhcrc was no ollc story to one elector and nrlotlzcl‘ to nn-. other. The policy \\'.l.\' published and so fur as I have any knowledge it was CxplillilCddll thc saule way throughout tliovsholc clcctlorl calm. lialgn. The Election came and thc people decided to adopt tlic policy cf our opponents. rrlld u lurgl‘ llulll- bcr of our opponents were cloclcd l0 support ihut policy: that is, a propor- crlforccnlerit of the Prohibi- tion Act with amendments. We are satisfied in take the verdict of the people. The verdict of the peo- ple ended the discussion. My hon. friend from Bcdr-qun took up coll- iidiffllbh.‘ iimc this illorning in dis- cussing thc respective merits and demerits of thc two policies. I do not purpose to take up thc tinlc oi tlic House with tllat luuttel". bc- cause. as I said before, the people have spoken. and the Conservative party have always been blg enough to accept the voice of’ the people. But I do wish to say one or two things with regard to the manner in which the campaign was con- ducted and what. transpired in coil- nection therewith. Our people ill these Eastern Provinces are said to take their politics very seriously. I think that. statement is quite fully justified. Ill this Province. in political cam- paigns. we have seen and heard candidates and canlpaigners go from one end of the Porvincc to the other and wc have seen and heard the public halls and the school houses rock and resound with eloquence very oftcn more fcrvid than elegant. 0r even accurate. But I think for pure abuse and vltuper- ation and nliscoilstructlon that every one of those campaigns. when compared with the one of i927, will appear weak alid pale and anemic. Those of ils who went through that carnpaigrl have had some exper- icnce with regard to untrue and abusive personalities and, various other things that were used. and lconcerning which it is useless to non.
