dcr the contract. made by the Laurier

plying to critlsms by Holi. Geo. I'.`

for the refusal of the Grand Trunk

VTHURSDAY, APRIL 6.
Mr Speaker Martin took the chall-
this morning at 12.10 p.m.
Mr BELL asked when they might
expect the public accounts.
The PREMIER; Just as soon as the
public accounts-can he constitution-
ally taken. 'I‘hc,hon. member knows
what contingency that depends upon.
MR A. E. MCLEAN.
Mn A. E. McLean resumed his
speech on the address. He referred*
to the valuation of foxes and asked
why the Government did not accept,
the valuation given by the fox ranches(
instead of fixing nn arbitrary price. 1
The PREMIER said the Govern-
ment did accept the valuation of
owners, except where fraud was sus-
Mr McLEAN said he was sled to
hear lt, as he had been misinformed
on the subject. He proceeded to refer
to the purchase of hay for the British
Government and said the Commission-
er of- Agricuituro should have taken
some action in the interest of the
farmers. According to Mr Ruddick,-
the British Government paid $24 per
ton aloniside the ocean steamer at
any port of shipment. if-that were
the case then there was evidently a
greatproilt for somebody as farmers
hero were paid from $1?_y.f0 $13 Del'
ton, and allowing $3 for pressing, 5;
for freight to Charlottetown. and 8
per t`otf for commission, there was-still
a' large margin to be accounted -for.
The Commissioner should have taken
up thomlttor. he he understood 0.000
tons of hay had been piuchased in the
province. There was -also file illwo-
tion ofthe purchase of horses. The
market bore-was delnoralized and. the
Comm saioner had done nothin! to
gzt the Government to buy horses

` Mr McLEAN said that 'be was not
aware the Government had taken any
action ill the lnattcr but be did know
that horses for the British army were
being purcilaacll ill the United States.
That was the vcvv people who it few
years -ago said tiny would have no
truck with the United States and they
were sending there for their horses.
The PREMIER: Who does the hon.
member say is buying horses in the
United States? Ha must be aware
that it is the British Government that
is making the purchases, and does he
think he can dictate to it? Does the
hon. member think he can manage the
war better than tllo British Govern-
ment?
Hon. MURDOCH McKINNON said
Mr Mclsean was making statements
both about hay and horses which
were absolutely incorrect. He per-
sonally had gone into the matter of
purchasing both bay and horses. Ho
had gone to Ottawa and found out
exactly what the British Government'
was prepared to pay for horses and
what kind of horses they wanted. He
knew also the kind of horses which
they had here to dispose of.
Ml-.McLEAN said he did not know
the Commissioner -had gone into the
matteras there was nothing in his
report 'of 1914 on the subject. Pro-
ceeding évlr McLean said he had been
surprise .there was nothing about
prohibition in -the Governors address.
and 'more surprised at the stlilolnent
of ibn-.»McKlnnon that three public
men ,god .been relieved of their
clmrg 'because of the attitude they
had adopted on that question. He
did not think the statement of Mr
Arsenault, that the conditions were
never lmttor in Snmmorside, WAI
correct. Possibly his ideas along
temporance 'lines did not coincide wit
those of the Temperance Alliance.
With reference to oysters he said he
had no objection to tbeyleulng and
cultivating of bprren bottoms. 'rho
(io`verament's idea evidently was to
increase the revenue from that source.
and it was quite legitimate for- tlieai
to do so. But what stirred up indigna-
tion in his-district g the hot that

ed the reputation of our oysters, ac
merchants did not know what they
were getting when they placed all
order. I-Ie strongly believed in the
conservation of our fisheries, as
nothing wouldprove more remunera-
tive than the development of these
resources. They did not want to take
away the leases from the companies,
but they did not think these com-
panies shouid have any greater privi-
leges than the fishermen. He favour-
ed the proposals of the Government
for tile drainage, and thought the
bill on the subject which the Govern-
ment proposed .to introduce would
pass without opposition. Mr McLean
concluded by referring to the benefit
obtained from mussel mild as a fer-
tilizer and suggested that something
should be done in the way of manil-
focturlng fish fertilizer, or of pro-
curing other imported fertilizer at
cost price.

For the moment the Infantry on both
sides is quiet, everywhere along tile
Western front of France. On the
much disputed sectors around Verdllll
the only activity has been an intermli.
tent bombardment in the region of
Dooaumollt and Vaux. This rather un

offensive undertakcll by the French in
which they recaptured some of their

back.
