SPEECH FROM THRONE Thctext of the Speech from the Throne read by His Excellency the Administrator. Mr. Justice Duff, at prorogaticn oi Parliament this af- ternoon is as follows.“ "Honourable Niembers oi the Senate; members of the House of Commons; I desire to thank you for the diligence and efficiency with which you have discharged your duti during the presentsession oi Parliament. The development of Canadian industry and agriculture has been further promoted through the measures you have enacted. A .ta.rlff board has been created, one of the functions of which will be t0 aid in the stabilization of trade and the establishment of an equit- able relationshlp between the costs of production and consumption. The changes provided for in the system of government acting will, it is believed, make for greater sim- plicity and more effective control over the financesmf the country. The measures granting assistance to the wheat producer, and for the distribution of coal, will do much to assist those industries. Among other important measures enacted were bills respecting copyright Can- adian National Railway Company pensions, soldiers settlement, cori- solldated revenue and audit, voca- tional education, the royal Canad- ian mint, old age pensions. Approv- al has been given the proposed measure of the Parliament of the United Kingdom to be known as the Statute of Westminster and His Majesty the King has been humbly petitioned to cause it to be laid before that Parliament. Prior to such approval being giv- en, delegates of my government and of all the provinces ‘of Canada at the invitation oi my Prime Minis- ter met at Ottawa and prayed for insertion‘ in the proposed measure a clause defining the rights of the Dominion and provinces in respect to its provisions. The commercial agreement negotiated with the Commonwealth oi Australia and ratified by Parliament will, I con- fidently believe, be of advantage to both of our countries. This agree- ment n-hilesfs the desire of my Governn "t to enter into similar trade agi ‘lEIItS with other. parts of the Em, The Imp. Economic Confer- ence adjourrecl last November to reassemble at Ottawa during the latter part of the current year has been postponed because of circum- stances which prevented the repre- sentation at the conference of all the Dominions oi the lilmpirv.

As a result oi the Parliamentary inquiry into the operations of the Besuhamois power corporations. measures have been enacted to ce- rure the public interest against ‘ "il exploitation of our natural r. =3 and to safeguard the rights of bona fido investors.

He was accompanied by Mrs. Tanton and their daughter, Miss Vera. Mr- Tan- ton, who has travelled extensively. says that the gravelied roads of Nova Scotia are a pleasure to trav- el on. The gravel is not put down just in patches but spread evenly all along the road. The roads are looked after keeps them smooth. In the opin- ion oi Mr. Tahton a well kept gravellcd road is better than con- crete. Mr. Tanton enjoyed the rug- ged scenery oi Cape Breton and was delighted with his trip. Miss Vera Tanton who spent her vacat- ion with her parents returned to Toronto on Saturday-S. ton, Moss, is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. s. E. Cannon of Summerside. He expects to return on Thursday.

Aug. ii-Immed- lately before the House of C- mmons closed its final sitting of the pres- ent session, Rt. Hon. Mackenzie King, leader of the opposition, rose on a question of privilege to com- plain against a. newspaper report. Mr. King: “Before we proceed further, there is a matter of per- sonal privilege to which I wish to speak." Mr. Bennett: "Would my Right Hon. friend rather speak now or at a later stage." Mr. Mackenzie King: "I would rathen take up the matter now, be- cause this is the first opportunity I have had with the Speaker in the chair, and I feel that the matter is important. I have in my hand a copy of the Toronto Mail and Em- ' plre oi Saturday, AugustJ, which carries the following headline across the front page, "Bennett says King told Senator Haydon get the money" A little further down the page there is a. sub heading "go and get money," under which ap- pears the following; “Thrusting an accusing, quivering forefinger di- rectly at Mr. King Mr. Bennett de- clared iri searing phrases that the former Premier had said to -hi.s friend, Senator Haydon, “go and get money." and that Senator Hay- don had promptly gone and got it from Bcauharnois. "The moment I saw this paper, Mr. Speaker, I read through the speech made by the Prime Minister of which this purports to be a. re- production and from which it is to be assumed the headings have been drawn- May I say that I could nee nothing in the speech made by the Prime Minister from beginning to close or in any speech made by the Right Hon. gentleman at any time in "this House which justified the heading appearing there or the statement I have read. The Prime Minister is in this House of Com- mons in front of me at the moment, and I should like him to say whether he ever made any state- ment of the kind.

In the year 1918, when the Pro- hlblfion Act was consolidated and amended, the num- ber of drunks was only 88. Last year the number was 127, and the year before 131.” How has the Lea Government fulfilled its solemn- promises to the temperance people? INSTEAD OF A FUR- THER DECREASE IN CONVICTIONS FOR DRUNK- ENNESS, THE POLICE COURT RECORDS FOR CHAR- LOTTETOWN AND SUMMERSIDE SHOW THAT DRUNKENNESS HAS INCREASED T0 A GREATER EXTENT THAN AT ANY TIME SINCE THE DAYS OF In 1926, the last full year of the Stewart administra- tion, convictions for drunkenness in Charlottetown num- In 1927, election year, convictions numbered 163. In 1928, the first full year of the Saunders-Lea Gov- ernment, they jumped to 300. In 1929 there was a further increase to 324. ,IN 1930 A STILL FURTHER INCREASE T0 3ft‘. During the present year the situation has become even more alarming. In the month of July alone there were 84 arrests, including 54 for drunkenness-THE LARGEST NUMBER RECORDED FOR ANY SINGLE MONTH IN THE WHOLE HISTORY OF CHARLOTTETOWN. What is the liquor situation in Summerside, as reveal- ed by the Police Court figures? drunkenness in Summerside In 1928, the first full year of the Saunders-Lea Gov- ernment, they increased to 62. In 1929, a further increase to 84. IN 1930, A STILL FURTHER INCREASE T0 96. 1ST, 'I‘HEY NUMBERED 52 INCREASE OVER» THE FIRST HALF YEAR PERIOD. On the Liberal organ’s own showing, therefore, and by the only statistical comparison available, DRUNKEN- NESS HAS INCREASED UNDER THE LEA GOVERN- MENT TO A GREATER EXTENT THAN UNDER ANY THE CANADA TEMPER- ANCE ACT CAME INTO EFFECT. This is the sum and substance of Liberal “prohibition” administration, the net result of all the pledges and prom- ises given by Premier Lea and his colleagues in 1927. ANY VERDICT AT THE BUT ONE OF CONDEMNA- TION AND REPUDIATION? that my Right Hon. friend will not say he made a statement of that kind. I am perfectly sure he would be the last person to do-so, and for any paper to print such a. heading and make such a statement repro- ducing a debate which occurred in this House of Commons, is to render itself open t0 anaction. {or criminal libel. “Now, I want to remind my Rt.

Mr. Bennett: "Tiiis cannot be a question of privilege." Mr. Mackenzie King: “So long as he held to insinuation and in- nuendos I remained silent. But had there been a direct statement of the character here ascribed to the Prime Minister, I certainly would immediately have taken exception to it. I am making this statement at the moment Mr. Speaker, first of all by way of correction, and in the second place to say again cm- phatlcally that at no time since I have been leader of a political par. ty have I given directions to anyone with respect to campaign iunds- I am making it for this reason, that 19 I'M)’ ,“ necessary for me if this kind of statement is repeated by any individual or any newspa- per in this country to consider whether I shell not immediately in- stitute actions for criminal libel, and I do not wish the party who Produces the statement to be able in raise in self defence the plea that when I had an opportunity in the Home of Commons, I had not tak- en advantage of it. first to correct what was false and state to the House what was true." ‘ Rt.

Nor is it usual to make-throats against those who are not members of the House or those who are members. This is not ro- Clnfed ll a question of p.‘ ‘loge.

No Game Last night's exhibition of baseball with both teams “playing" for dark- ness, and Umpire Dr. Charles Dou- gan being made the proverbial "goat," will not by any means help the game in this city. In the first place, baiting the umpire, who re- ceives little, if anything for his ser- vices is a common practice of some ball players and instead of helping matters, really leaves a bad tase in the mouths of the fans. Last evening, shortly after 1.":- game was called, the writer received tended almost every-game this sea- son-and disgust. was, evidenced. in every sentence of said fan's conver- sation.

It looks like a logical. match and one that would draw a great crowd. RECEIPTS FALLING OFF Philadelphia ls again slackening in enthusiasm over its wonderful Athletic baseball team, and gate re ceipis are falling down as the Mack men point to another pennant. This happenedarlound 1914 before, and Mack sold his stars, and started the painful process of rebuiding which took him fourteen years be- fore he won another pennant. Some what the same thing happened in hockey around 1921 when Ottawa Senators were top shots of the hockey world, and what hot shots they were! Spragua Clog-horn was sent to 5t. Pats, and “Punch" Bonz-dbent was Ordered to Hamilton but never reported. It was all done to add balance to the race. Ottawa in those days was a. seething hot bed of hockey. but fans there tired of machine lke and flawless hockey l8 Dresented by their defensive machine, and from being the rpiliar Ottawa became the problem of the league.
