Mr.'MacDonald noted that Mr.

all the work ha had done on the

that which should have been done.
He further stated that every 'gov-
emment, Liberal or Conservative.
up to the time of the Lea admin-
istration had neglected the second-
ary roads.
“We have spent on the roads,
$141000 more than the Stiwart
Government did." he said, "but it
was all spent on improvements."
Mr. MacIntyre did not prmuce
any copies of the correspondence ol-
lf-ged to have been tabled in con-
neitlon with the road machinery
purchases, but read a list of firms
which had made tenders for , the
machinery.
Mr. H. D. li/l'scEwen, who was giv-
en a splendid hearing( explained
that Mr. Lea must be measured,
not as s. farmer, doctor or lawyer,
but by his success as Premier. It
is expected, he said, that the roads
should be improved considering the
money spent. He referred to the
neglected condition of the road to
Charlottetown either .by way of
Fort Augustus or St- Peters road.

Mind
(Canadian Press)
‘ UITAWA, Ont., July 29-Public
ownership of the Beauharnois de-
velopments was what the commit-
tee lnvsetigating the project had in
mind in the main recommendations
contained in its report submitted to
the House of Commons last night.
Although the members of the com-
mittee were in general agreement
as to the general features of the
report there was some different of
opinion as to minor details which
leaves the way open for an amend-
ment when the question is discuss-
ed tomorrow. These facts were
brought out in interviews with
members of the committee today.
Attitude of, the Liberal party to-
ward the report was being deter-
mined this morning at a caucus of
members and senators. While the
Liberal members of the committee
were in fsulaotsntlal agreement with”
the major recommendations, the
report was not entirely unanimous
and the way was open for an
amendment, said Hon. Ian MacKen-
zie, Liberal. Vancouver Centre. If
an amendment were offered. it was
‘ understood it would not affect the
main recommendations which sug-
gested negotiations with Quebec
with a view of procuring the project
in such a manner as would. bfst
serve the people of Canada. While
it was stated last night by certain
members of the committee that thc
report was unanimous it has devel-
oped since there was not full
agreement on certain minor details.
Public ownership of the Beauhar-
nois project was in the minds of
ithe committee when they made
their main recomme.ndation,, said
Mr. MacKenzie, and this view was
concurred in by Robert Gardiner,
U. F. A- Acadia. Because of parlia-
mentary rules, this could not be
recommended specifically because a
committee cannot suggest the
spondingfof public money. If the
government decided to not on this
recommendation, it might be necw-
sary to adjourn the session for six
weeks or two months, during which
time negotiations with Quebec and
with the Beauharnois Company
might be carried on. Another possi-
bility would be that the govern-
ment would ask parliament to grant
it blanket powers to negotiate and
take over the project.

From the Leader. of the Liberal Party to his henchmen

Summerside, P. E. I.
March 21, 1927.
Dear Sir: `
Some of the executive members of the East Prince Lib-
eral Association feel that on account of Premier Stewart’s
pronouncement in favor of Government Control of liquor as
one of the planks in the Conservative platform at the next
ensuing Provincial Election, it might be advisable to call an
informal meeting in your district OF SOME OF THE
PROMINENT AND OUTSTANDING PARTY WORKERS
to consider this question, and to advise me just what course
you think OUR PARTY should adopt. I think it would be
adviiaable to have such a meeting at once, as no time should
e ost.
I have reason to think that the election may be called on
at an early date, possibly the middle of May. For that
reason our party must be prepared to announce its policy
at an early date. I also feel that the meeting SHOULD
NOT BE TOO LARGE, as it might lead to some ACRI-
MONIOUS DISCUSSION without any tangible results. I
do however, think it best that both sides should be well
represented at such a meeting,-that is, those who favor the
present law and THOSE WI-IO ARE OPPOSED TO IT.
Kindly do not let our Conservative friends know any-
thing about such a meeting. The Chairman of your meeting
should also make it quite clear that everything should be
STRICTLY IN OUR PARTY’S INTERESTS AND OF A
CONFIDENTIAL NATURE. We need not remind you how
carefully guarded the Conservatives kept all their discus-
sion, and kept their own counsel. Please impress this on all
who attend your meeting.
You should also bring to the attention of the meeting
that our success at this election means more than on any
former occasion. We will be getting at least $160,000.00
additional subsidy, and it will simplify the work to such an
extent that I am sure whichever Party succeeds on this
occasion will be there for the next fifteen years. Therefore
it is of the utmost importance that you do all you reason-
ably can to have your meeting view the situation with an
open mind, AND DO WHAT YOU CONSIDER IN THE
BEST INTERESTS OF OUR PARTY.
. You can then report to me THAT TI-IE MEETING IS
IN FAVOR OF GOVERNMNT CONTROL OR IN
FAVOR OF RETAINING THE PROHIBITION ACT. or
are evenly divided on the question, as the ease may be. This
will enable me to come to what I hope may be a conclusion
IN THE VERY BEST INTERESTS OF OUR PARTY.
