Dr- MacMilIan: "Do you know who was the director in 1927? It does not matter, because the end result was that the money was lost.

St. Stephen, docked here today with slight damages sustained from heavy seas. during B "5ll°I‘l-" lW° weeks at sea. The converted frigate tied up at the naval wharves with a cracked hull plate, the result of sea and ice battering during two voyages. Lieut. Harry Shorten oi Calgary said the Ste. Stephen had a “touchy" few minutes when she dashed through a gap in the mile- wide ice field surrounding the Hon- duran-freightcl- Everugra near Hal- ifax. The ice-breaker Snllrel was unable to penetrate the heavy ice and the St. Stephen dashed through n gap spotted by an air-sea rescue plane. The St. Stephen was en route to her weather station midway be- tween Greenland and Labrador when She received en S 0 S March 6 from ‘the freighter, trapped in an ice pack 15D miles off the Nova Scotia coast. . After the St. Stephen had towed Irveragra to safety the job of bringing her to Halifax was taken over by thc tug Grenadier and the St. Stephen proceeded on her way. When it was discovered that water was seeping into a compart- ment from a cracked hull plate as- tern, tile weather ship was order- ed back to port for repairs.

It may be said of Miss Paulee that she has a strong Mezzo-Sup- rono voice of great range and dramatic quality. This quality she used to advantage in the operatic selections, and also in the Respighi Ballata. It was also gory marked in the Erl King-perhaps, indeed to some it might seem a little too marked. But it was ln the French songs—and very lovely songs they were too, that Miss Patrice delin- itely excelled. And with good rea- son, for French was the tongue she spoke as u child. Of these, the Massenet Aria, "LIntruse" and the merry little chanson “Nicolette“. were particularly appealing. The modern English songs with which Miss Paulee concluded her pro- gramme were also much enjoyed hy the audience. Mr. H0lt_is a very fine pianist. and his playing was greatly liked.

"There are certain expenditures, however. which must be made, Where is the going to got the mon- ey for rural electrification, for regional high schools, for the Min- ister bf Public Works and High- ways to follow out his program, for social services, and for the proper Aeveloplnent of Falcon- wood Hospital which the superin- tendent at that institution has been requesting for the past eight years? All necessary to bring this Province up to sci-nothing near the standard oi the other Provinces. ls the money going to come from this Province? Can you put any (more taxes on our people? There are only two sources of revenue open to ud-through taxation on recourse to the Federal Govern- ment. This is'the most important tention of this Legislature, and-it brings us back to til-la days Confederation." Dr. Macmillan recalled that at Confederation the Provinces were promised, in exchange for giving up certain revenues. that they tent that there need be no resort to direct taxation. By 1894. how- ever, this Province had to adopt direct taxation, it being the second Province in Canada to levy an income tax. "From that point down to the present it has been tax, tax. tax. The bargain of Con- federation has never been irn- pic-merited." The Opposition leader reviewed at length the findings of the Dun- can and White Commissions with respect to Maritime claims, also the Provinces special claim for tfl-ZSOABS for being the only land- less Province. quoting from briefs prepared under both Liberal and Conservative governments. Cites Premier's Brief Expressing surprise at the man- ner ln which the Premier had re- ferred to the question of fiscal need in ‘his Budget speech, Dr. MacMillan went on to cite passages from the brief presented by the Premier at tllre Dominion-Provinc- ial conference on taxation, in which Vfiscal need was strongly emphasized. “If it was important then," he asked, ."why not now?" Reviewing other points in the Premier's brief at the Ottawa con- ference, Dr. MacMillan said these arguments constituted a plain in- dictment of the neglect and mis- treatment accorded to this Island by the Dominion Government. The brid pointed out that previous to the wartime tax agreements, the subsidies for Prince Edward Is- land were more (than three times the per capita average for all Can- ada. It also maintained that a subsidy of at least three million dollars annually was required to allow "even a measure of what is envisaged” in the Government's budgetary proposals. "The Premier was perfectly right," said Dr. MacMillan. "But he should not come back here and say that when he got $2,100,000 he got a splendid bargain. He should not. have claimedthat ‘the way we are set up now this Province can go ahead and develop itself into one of tihe finest Provinces in Canada‘. Can he get up and repeat those words today after his speech of yesterday, warning that there must be less spending in every department?" Under the wartime tax agree- ment, Dr. MncMilian noted, from 1942-47 this Province contributed $12,500,000 in taxes to the Domin- ion Government and received back, in the some period. 351375.000. This was not. counting the enorm- ous revenue contributed in sales tax, which cannot be computed. He quoted a former Goverrrnent employee. Ml‘. Graham Rogers, as estfrnating that our total tax con- tributicn to Ottawa in that period was nearly $20,000,000. “Where does the subsidy from Ottawa leave us in the estimates for this year? 82.300000. How are we going to get along on those figures, with total expenditures of 56,761,000 as against a total revenue from all sources of $5,220,000? And that docs not take into account the ‘sums ‘sufficient’ which are required for a high tension line from Charlottetown to Smnmer- slde. regional high schools, potato w-areihouses and capital expenditure on Dominion-Provincial projects. Now my hon. friend must realize the position he is in." Premier Jones: "It was not as bad as it was fifteen years L30. when you were in. At that time it took 1a percent of revenues to pay the interest on the debt. To- day it only takes 9 percent. We are a lot better off." - Dinoli/facMlllan: “We increased the debt in our four years by 011W 51.500000. and you are Wllttl"! for that in one Year." Premier Jones: "But you paid 13 “ream of your revenue in hr- terest." - Dr. MscMlllan: "Where would w. ue in 19st if we had a million dollars in liquor. like you?

Or probably the err-Provincial Treasurer. who has got really good points—" Hon. Mr. Hughes: " ‘Beware the Greeks bearing gifts.’ " Dr. MocMilLsn: “I airways speak of a man as I find him, and his knowledge in the promotion of bills going through this House in the last two or three years was wonderful. I don't. know whether there is a better lawyer in the House now, in dealing with legis- lation than my hon. friend who iras retired to the back benches." “Probably he knew that with the proposals that have been made revenue available, it was high time for retrenchment. He may have conscience may have been troub- °4 ling him as he recalled his own statements uf ten years ago, in the Dark Ages of this Province, when there was nobody in the House but Liberals - 'no nasty opposition to take the blame for anything! The best the could accomplish then was a little civil war among them- selves, e minor insurrection; and who do you think were the lead- ers? My hon. friends the Premier, the err-Provincial Treasurer, the Minister of Public Works and the Minister of Agriculture. Those rwep the reformers, who were crying out for econuhy and retrenchment in the days of the Campbell Gov- errrmenti" Like R-lp Van Winkle Dr. MacMlllan recalled that in i938 Mr. Hughes, as s, back-bench- er, had protested that "unless there is a complete change of method we are going to be on the rocks financially; I am convinced that" if we go on going behind year after year, in a. very few years we will find not only the treasury empty but the credit of the counry ex- haunted.“ "Perhaps that was why my hon. friend the (ex-Provincial ‘Preasurer resigned”, said Dr. MacMlllan. “He may be like Rip van Winkle, wak- ing up after ten years’ sleep.” He went on to cite a statement by Hon. Mr. Barbour in i937, com- piaining that $20,000 could he saved in expenses at Falconwcod. The expenditure at that time was $122,- 000. Last year it was $215,000 and this year the Minister is budgeting for 5260.000. "In view of these facts, I don't know whether: the economic injunc- tions qf the Premier will fall on good ground or not. I ‘hae my doubts’, because the whole record of this Government is one of con- tinuously increasing expenditures. Ten years ago the Government garage cost $32,000 to maintain. This year- the Minister is estimat- ing for $175,000. I would like him to give a complete list of the em- ployees that are in the Provincial garage, and to name those who are standing around in some other’ fel- low’: way. I am quite sure that an expenditure of $175,000 to look af- tcr the road machines is not just- ified. I hope the Premier will dig his eye into that." Dr. MacMlllan reviewed other items of expenditure which had in- creased greatly in recent years, indicating that the Government's policy has been “economy in re- verse." He was surprised that the Pre- ruler in his speech did not refer to his own department of Education. Perhaps he would like to report now. Prtmier Jones: “I wouldn't mind taking over. You have been read- ing my stuff most of the afternoon.“ Dr. MacMllianz "You probably forgot it in your Budget speech. Now you will have to come in at the tail end of the debate." Health ExPQIIOIIIIIQI Referring to several increases in the Department of Health and Wel- fare, Dr. MacMlllan said these were necessary, and in the long range view were measures of real econ- omy. "we have got very fine of- ficials in the Health Department." he added. "I don't think they have got s better setup 1n Canada.‘ Mr. savilie: "It must have had pretty good ministers." Dr. MacMlilanz "There was a darn good minister started it; do you remember him?" (Laughter). l-le referred particularly to the work of Dre. Creelrnsn, Found, Shaw and Keeping. There. was I. close connection between Dr. Shaw's ‘work as provincial pathol- ogist and the hospitals oi the Prov- ince, and it is now possible to get pathological. services locally which had formerly to be obtained from St. John, Halifax. Montreal or else- where. "We may as well accept the fact that public health is going to cost a great deal more in the future than it has ever done in this Prov- ince." Dr. Macliiflilsn continued. Ho Lurrlflihdfid the Government fo- its grant of $19,300 for a diag- nostic cancer clinic, also for as- sistance in control of venereal dis- ease, in establishing the polio ward at the Senator-rum and ln_ increas- iflg u, gsopoo the grant for extra min-at r3 treatment. At the same time he noted a re- grettable tendency on the part of the city and rnunici alitiss of the Province to evade eir duties in regard to social welfare of the peo- ple within their environs‘. "The Provincial sanatoriurn," he noted, "will cost $180,000 or more coming of you toput all the bla-ne ion siren." ‘ this year, but what can you ac applying that. but I say that when , Ii - Rrtlllatgoj- in: Jsnlgms ‘ifnanuacv PAGE [FY12 ‘I; w: lPpntsslofyorn-treasurcs, 1min. should 1...; u... _'~ Y" rrrlr-lr- 1w my l» disregarding ti...» early blntsoIirrrpeadingiIInesaBetIcrseesDootos-andlyeedhi; r ' "lllllfl- Wily not make tlr em today?

There was need yet for an assistant superin- tendent. Premier Jones: "It is provided for in the budget, $3.500." D1‘. MacMilian: "But it is diffi- cult to nil those positions. I hope you will be able to do it." Other requirements at Falconwood were for a. psychiatric social worker and an occupational or recreation- al therapist. But the most import- ant of all was for a medical and treatment centre. He hoped thc Government would be able to give attention to this oft-repeated re- commendation- Federal Responsibility He explained that a year ago the Charlottetown School Board sent a teacher from each school to Toronto for special ‘training lu dealing with backward children. These teachers are doing good work now. Dr. Murchisonk report refers to children somewhat lower in the scale mentally, whose training will require qualified per- sonnel. Essentiaily. the obligation to establish a mental hygiene pro- gram rested with the FederalGdv- crnment, which has been inexcus- ably lax in this respect. It. has also been "niggardly" in financing phy- sical fltness programs. "$1,800 for this ‘Province. What a magnific- ent grant!" Hon- J. A. Campbell said he wondered why, with all the iln- provements and facilities, the hos- pitals and Faiconwood are more overcrowded than ever. "It seems to me that we are drifting to a lower stage," he said. DnMacii/lillan read. amid laugh- rer, Mr. Campbell's criticism of ten years ago, when he said things were going so badly that "we will all be out at Faiconwood soon." He expressed agreement with the Premier's criticism of the Fede- ration of Agriculture in urging an increase in old age pensions for persons over seventy, without in- dicating where the revenue was to come from. Urging support of the coming Red Cross campaign, Dr- MacMii- lan said that part of the peace- time service performed by this great organization has been t0 provide a nutritionist who is now working with the Womens Insti- tutes in the public mhools. He also lnstanced the establishment of first aid posts, development cf swimming and first aid courses. and. most important of all, provis- ion of a free blood donors‘ service for the hospitals. This system is in operation now in British Col- umbia and Alberta, and is proving of inestlmable value in saving lives. especially in emergency cases. He hoped to see the service. in MR. D.‘ C. MR.

He explained that some time ago the Premier had given to the Red Cross at. Souris two buildings for training purposes in swimming and first aid. The Government had obtained them at. some cost from the War Assets Corporation. "He save them to us and we thanked him for them; but tho trouble is that. we only got one, The other one is still in transit, but. we have got to have it this summer." Opening Remarks In his opening remarks on Wed- nesday, Dr. Macmillan referred to speech in the recent election cam- palgn, in which he was quoted as saying it was not his duty to giva the Budget speeches. but the Pre- mier’s. I-Ion- Mr. Hughes said. he bad made no such statement. Dr. MacMillan accepted the lion. member's reply, and went on to quote him as having boasted of annual "surpluses" over a period of years, whereas the real story was one of huge overall deficits, with iremend-us increase in this puhiic debt. He. scored the former Provincial Treasurer for having failed to perform his duty in presenting proper Budgets to the House. "I want to compliment the Premier today," he added, "because this I now as it should be. In any case his speech was s. vast improve- ment over the farce that was per- petrated here during the last fed years." He took issue with Mr. Hughes figures tabled as an interim fin- anciai statement, showing a “sur- pius" which had been widely quot- ed by Canadian Press, whereas there was actually an overall deficit of a million and s half dol- lars. This sort of thing, he em- phasized, mlsrepresents the Prov- ince and hurts the Government's chances when it. goes to Ottawa looking for much needed assist- ance- Too Late To Clasify _____.__________.
