Lord Baden-Powell endorsed all Lady Baden-Powell had said ab- out Prince Edward‘ Island and Canada.

CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATES (Continued from Page i) the district had been attended to. "It has been my endeavor to see that this part of the district re- oelved its share of attention, and you can see that it certainly ha: not been neglected," he said. Mr. Bethune referred also to the construction this year of the new Rocky Point-Charlottetown ferry steamer, and to the placing of high powered tractors in the north and south sections of the district. He stressed the benefit of the cater- pillar tractor over the Bordson machines employed by the Liber- als. It had been his aim, he said, to pay special attention to the roads and bridges of the district. Old Age Pension: Old Age Pensions, Mr. Bethune pointed out, had been implement- ed by the Conservatives though this was one of the election pledges of the Liberals in 1927. Notwithstanding their failure to redeem this pledge they had piled up, in their last eight months an increased debt of $540,000. This was the party, Mr. Bethune taunted, which now proposes t0 “balance the budget." To do so. he showed they would have to starve the public works of the Province. What government officials, Mr. Bethune asked, did the Liberals propose to dismiss in implementing their platform? Did they propose to deprive the Ministers of Public Works and Agriculture of cars, and put them back to the old "horse and carriage days"? Mr. Lea when in office had ooh- stantly used a government car. It ill behooved him to criticise the present Premier in this regard, who has always used his own car. Other planks of the Liberal plat- form were analyzed by Mr. Beth- une, who showed that many of them were merely re-stalemcllti 0f policies already put into effect by the MacMillan administration. "I don't care what government comes in, the cheaper type of as- phaltic road with which this Gov- ernment experimented last i011- will be used extensively in this Province,” he predicted. Reference was also made to the trans-Canada hiBhWBY inward‘ which the Bennett Government is contributing $7,500 per Iii-ile- In the enforcement of all the laws of the Province, the record of the present administration com- pares favorably with that of any government, Mr. Bel-hum 5010- I" proof of this he cited a recent commendatory statement of Mr. Justice Saunders at the opening of the supreme Court in Summerside. Liberal "Econom " The Liberal pledge 0f l P550" farm for jail prisoners, which would probably mean the expend- iture of $150,000 at least, was an- alyzed by Mr. Bethune, who wri- trasted this virlth the other Liberal. pledge of tdrastic expenditure- re- t.

Wu this what the Liberals browsed ta do in this ProvinceTHe did not think the taxpayers would support any such policy. “This Government has been en- deavorlng at all limes to find markets for our fishermen and they have made active efforts obtain reduction in express rates, Mr. Bethune declared. The diffi- culty has been that United States express companies will not eon- cede any reduction in this r088"!- Pcrsonally, he had endeavored in every way to be of assistance to the fishennen of his district. A m: share of enmlcvment w returned soldiers, he continued. had always been part of the Con- servative policy. Mr. Bethune also discussed the circumstances leading up to. the million dollar bond issue, which the Province was forced to make by reason of the huge overdraft of more than a million dollars left by the outgoing Lea Government. Reference was also made to the reconstruction of Faloonwood Hos- pital. Closing Remark: "Where would this Province have been if some relief had not 001118 from Ottawa and if this Govern- mcnt had not co-operated by con- tributing its share towards the cost?" Mr. Bethune asked at the close of the meeting in the ten rnln- utes allotted to him for NDly, His question went to the point raised b! the Liberal candidates‘ criticism of alleged government extravagance in road and other expenditures.

"What does that mean? They are going to tieupthepubliowoihofthiaho- vinee iftbey are elected. There is no, doubt about that at all," Mr. Currie declared emphatically amid applause. Seweeh-oplgnnda Liberal propaganda, consisting o! eternally harping on Falconwood Hospital plans, was a source of con- stant humiliation tothose of our citizens who have friends and rela- tives there, he declared. The loss of the Cuban potato mar- ket. he showed. was due to the West Indies trade agreement negotiated by the Mackenzie King Government and not to the Bennett administra- tion. He cited facts and figures to prove this, showing the sharp de- cline ln Cuban imports following this agreement. He also referred to the United States agreement with cube, which had the effect of shut- ting our potatoes out. The complete failure of the late Liberal administration to obtain any subsidy settlement from the Mac- kenzie King Government was strongly denounced-by Mr. Currie, who cited the contemptuous man- ner in which Mr. King had dealt with the petitions of the Liberal Premier of this Province in connec- tion with this matter. Belplug The Partners The result of the Ottawa Agree- ments in strengthening the price of pork during the past two years was next referred to as an example of the constructive leadership given by the Bennett Government. Mr. Currie said he regretted that his health was stir‘: uncertain, but he hoped to continue the campaign and could assure the electors that if elected he would do everything possible to implement any promises made, and to serve them to the best of his ability. MR. AN GUS McPHEE w. Bethune, contended Mr. Angus McPhee, first Liberal speak- er, had made “a good plea of a bad case." I-1e thought it was "a ridiculous thing" that Ministers and government officials should have cars to drive around at the people's expense. His defeat by sixteen votes in the last election Mr, McPhee at- tributed to "the terrible lot of spoiled ballots" which, he estim- ated, numbered about 200 through- out the dlstrict. His colleague Mr. LePage, however, had "made the grade." This time he thought they would both make the grade. “You would almost hear those Conservative politicians going around with crocodile tears in their eyes at the last Dominion election," Mr. McPhee declared, maintaining that the Provincial Conservative candidates had done likewise. when they got into office they had forgotten about their ec- onomy pledges, he charged. The Liberals,‘ he continued, should have an ilvestigatHn of the million and a quarter dollar bond issue. There was, he thought, ‘ nigger in the woodpile." . Macmillan he considered had "got the swelled head and sent for e, foreign architect" to rebuild Falconwood Hospital on a big seele.. Dominion politics next engaged Mk. McPheeh attention. “We don't blame the local Government for the depression but we blame the policies of the Bennett Govern- mcnt,” he .said.~"'1‘hat is the reas- on why the railroads and steam- boate are idle." He cited figures to show that trade was greater and unemployment less before the world economic slump had set in. Conservative extravagance in the Public Works Department was charged. “You want to get out on the roads to see what the present Government is spending." Mr. MacPhee said. On one section of road he had seen “eighteen able- bodied men with dung-forks." Mr. Bethune, he claimed, had promis- ed economy in road maintenance, and now he was defending ex- tfflvagance. With the revenue that is com- ing in now he did not see why a. great saving could not be made, es- pecially in the Public Works De- partment Officials‘ salaries, he believed, should be cut. So fair as the Deputy Ministers are concern- ed he did not care if they were dismissed altogether. It was "a waste of time" for them to go around "preaching about taming. They ought to be out looking for markets.” The Minister of Public Works, Mr. McPhee conceded, should have a government car. The other of-' ficlals ought to provide their own. Motorists driving with " much liquor in their stomachs‘, were roundly denounced‘. The_ speaker did not think the laws were being enf strictly in this regard. . ' ltflt. I, W.‘ IAPAGE 1 Mr. , who followed, w. Currie, said he had given his time and aervioe to the" country for practically nothing. The little money he received es a Legislative member (MG) per . session) was “not worth talking about". The depression we ,are ‘peeling through is man-made. . not God- made.

It would cost. he predicted, $70,000 to repair. This statement was made as evidence of "Con- servative squendermania." That inefficiency on the part of a Conservative employee was res- imuslble for the destruction of Prince of Wales College was advan- ced as "a personal opinion" by Mr. LePage. He criticised Government expenditure on the new foundation. also on “varnish. linoleum, and shower baths" in the new College. The Falconwood Hospital plans. the treatment of every insane per- son ln Canada." had been “ashamed to say what the total cost would be." “If I had the plans here and showed them to you. you would think that they were in- sane themselves," he added. To the Bennett Government he attributed responsibility for shut- ting out Cuban sugar. He did not think any farmer in the community had benefitted by the Farmers Cred- itors’ Arrangement Act. The Mar- keting Act "would have been a great thing if somebody had got hold of it who could have managed it right." Two or three shippers had got on the Board, and had “bungled the thing up." Defense of the Lea. Government's million-dollar bank overdraft was offered by Mr. IePage on the ground that it did not matter to the taxpayers whether the Government owed- money to the bank or to the bond holders. Hon. Mr. McNutt was "a fine old gentleman but he was not fit for the Job of Minister of Agriculture," Mr. IePage claimed. "$23,000 of your hard earned mon. ey was given by this Government to remove clay from the Ebthibition Ground. MacMillan done that thinking it would elect him," the Liberal candidate said. (His refer- elwa was w an unemployment relief project paid for wholly by the Do- minion Government.) The Government, he continued, would have sot $500,000 of subsidy increase from Ottawa instead of $150,000 He. Mr. IoPage, was not satisfied with it. Had there been three men on the White Commis- sion of the calibre of the ideritime representatives (Chief Justice M3,. thieson) we would havegotien our rights. " The Iesisiatum had not been consulted in the matter, of Con. structing the Borden-Charlottetown highway this year. Had, the Lin. erals been given the opportunity they would have opposed it. he said. He questioned the Premier's state- ment that the contractors were re- building the damaged strewn 0g Southport asphalt highway at their own expense. The repairs would cost more than the initial work and he» MP- T-BPBEE, did not think the Government could get that done for nothing. If they did not succeed in getting full payment of Qld Age Pensions from Ottawa, the Liberals, it elec- ted, proposcd to continue the pen- 81011-5 Payment of the present time, Mr. LeiPage announced. Reduction of bank interest rfltgg would mean a sufficient saving to enable us to balance our budget, he said, arguing for a wholesale "con- scription of wealth“ in Canada.

' My ministers have for some time been convinced that reforms and adjustments in the existing econo- mic system have “ necessary‘ to insure its more effective and equitable operation. Throughout the world there is a new approach on the part of governments to fin- ancial and economic problems, and I confidently believe that the Econ- omic Council of Canada, for which you have provided, will in the fut- urn become an important factor in the government service for the cor- relation of information and scien- tific investigation. By the Natural Products Market- ing Act, enacted at the last session of Parliament, you provided for in- vestigations lnto costs, price spreads, trade practices and other matters related to the production, marketing and processing of natural products. During the present session you have amended that statute and the Combines Investigation Act; the Companies Act and the Criminal. Code; and provided for the estab- lishment of a Dominion trade and industry commission. These meas- ures will insure to investors secur- ity against fraud; to the producer and distributor, the elimination of unfair practices, to the consumer higher standards of products, and to the Dominion a condition of weal- thy competition in industry. The provision made for the appointment of a director of public prosecutions ensures the enforcement of these yactmen‘ . ‘ ' By the legislatimenacted respect- ing minimum wages, hours of work and weekly rest, the Parliament of Canada has made an important ad- vanoe in the field of social legislas‘ tion. These measures are of greet importance because of their bearing upon economic conditions through- out the country and because they represent Canada's detennlnation to maintain fair and humane condi- tions of labor for men, women‘ and children in keeping with the na- tional obligations under‘ the, treaties of peace and the conventions ad -' ted by the general conference of t e International Labor Organization of Canada subscribed. ‘Ibraush the-action of my govern-- rnent, in oo- ration with the fin- ancial lnstitu ions of the country, Canada enjoys the most favorable interest rates in its history. The provision which you have made for loans to farmers at low interest rates, and the measure which you have enacted during the last session of Parliament respecting farmers‘ i-debtedness have improved their economic condition. The amend- ments made to these measures dur- ing the session will further extend their benefits. You have also made provision for assisting fishermen by establishing a system of long term mortgage credit. The enactment of the measure re- latine to ‘ yment and social insurance will, through the estab- lishment of a national labor- ex- change service, provide for dealing- more effectively with the problem of seasonal and other unemploy- ment, and will afford the means whereby Canadian workers can, with the assistance of the govern- ment. make provision for their own security. Following a conference with the representatives of all the provinces my ministers have decided to ap- point e, Royal commission to make a‘ thorough investigation of our na- tional health problems with a view W 117011081118 a definite plan for the co-operation of federal and provin- cial authorities in a national health policy. The measures which you have tak- en to provide for public works and undertakings throughout Canada, to authorize the guarantee of certain railway equipment securities, and to assist in the construction of houses will, it is confidently believed, do much to stimulate industry in the building trades throughout the country and create employment. The action which you have taken during the past" few years to raise Pfloes paid to wheat producers gives effect to the policy adopted at the at Ottawa and the World Economic Conference held at London. By your action in providing for the Canadian Wheat Boa-rd that policy will b; continued. The provisions which you have made for the revaluation of gold and en exchange stabilisation fund titute an important effort to re- store normal exchange conditions throughout the world and make possible a greater volume of inter- national trade. Important amendmente have been made tothe Income War Tex Aot, and provision ha: been made for (he rehabilitation of drought and loll drifting nrell in the Prairie Pro- vinces. Other measures include the Belief Act and an Act to Amend and Consolidate the Acts Relating to Patents of Invention. Durinl’ the eeaeim my Govern- ment tebled the additional otocol to the trade agreement ween Canada and Pranoe, which provides for the exteneion of further tariff conclusions by each country to the product: of the other.
