NEGLECT Deliberate Refusal Of Saunders -Lea Government To (Co-operate With Dther Maritime Governments And Board Of Trade In- Pressing Su bsidy Claims Revealed In Saunders-Robb Correspondence. Startling Re- velations yMade By Premier MacMillan In Mag- nificent Speech Last Night. Revelations of the manner in which the leader of the late Liberal Provincial Government, at the suggestion of the Liberal sex-Minister of Finance at Ottawa, had persist- ently refused to co-operate with the Premiers of Nova bcotia and New Brunswick in making a joint presentation of Maritime subsidy claims, and also had declined “to have anything to do with a proposed meeting of the Mari- time Board of Trade in this connection,” were made by Premier MacMillan in the course of a magnificent two- hour speech in the Capitol Theatre last night. The cVIdenCE furnished by Premier MacMlllan on this point-which flatly disproved repented statements of Mr. W. M. Lea and Liberal sup. porters that the Conservative Maritime Premiers had failed to oil-opul- ate with the Saunders-Leo. g." nt-was read from correspondence between err-Premier Saunders and the late Liberal Premier and s- ee Minister M. Ottawa. The Liberal provincial leader, who, the correspondence showed, failed to obtain even common courtesy from Mackenzie King. wrote cllmphln- ing to lion. J. A. ltobb of King's statement in Parliament that no request for ‘ “, settlement had been made. < “You further suggested, last spring,” wrote ex- Premier Saunders to Mr. Robb under date Oct. 7, 1929, “that this Province should come alone, rather than in con-- junction with the other Maritimes. Accordingly, I have on different occasions DECLINED TO CO-OPERATE with Premier Rhodes and Premier Baxter in a joint presenta- tion. I ALSO DECLINED T0 HAVE ANYTHING T0 D0 with a proposed meeting of the Maritime Board of Trade in this connection.” The result, Premier MacMillan showed, was the loss to this Province of hundreds of thousands of dollars in federal subsidy, which might have been obtained had there been Liberal co-operallon with the other Maritime Provinces.
