I thin}: the Government woul do well to make a serious investigation into conditions.

"They were not able to refute those figures in their economic committee. In fact the tables com- lled by Dr. Lattlmer could not e refuted; so that the Provincds position for fiscal need is well est- ablished, and I know that the eco- nomic committee admits it. The question will be whether the co- ordinating committee of Premiers will see it as well and will recog- nizf that we have fiscal need here wh ch must bring us more money." War Expenditures Premier Jones recalled that dur- ing the war, for munitions and supplies alone there were expend- itures of ten and one-half billion dollars. "If Prince Edward Island had got a per ca its share we would have had eig ty-seven mil- lion dollars. I am sure that much money didn't come to us 'llll'll'\g the war. There was a consider- able amount spent in Prince Coun- ty. Some millions were s ent in Queen's, but I think you w ll hunt around a good deal to find qgen one million spent in King's Coun- ty. That money was not pumpe here so that we didn't get that big jolt upwards which other pro- vinces sot." Dr, MacMillan: "Where was the million spent in King's?" Premier Jones: " suppose they bought canned fish." Mr. Hunter: "Which might a- mount to a thousand‘ dollars." Premier Jones: "Then- perhaps a million or two would cover lt.

But I bring this out to show that the Island didrflt benefit by these huge war expenditures to the ex- tent that the -rest of Canada did. C That should be part of our fiscal need for the three year period when they propose to discontinue our present agreement under which we get $1,004,000 in lieu of our Dominion subsidies." Labor's ear.nings in this Prov- ince, Premier Jones continued, were only $560 per person as against an average of $988 for 000 Canada.

He regretted that the Government had not gotten round to preparing a Workmcn's Compensation Act. As 1t will be presented to the House. The Government realized that such legislation is needed. Cadastral Survey Speaking of iiiie cadastral sur- vey, he said‘ it meant a kind of l_v as it is in the Old Country. the word simply meant a land survey. It was necessary because the old survey made here in 1764 was based on the magnetic north. which is constantly changing- The Dom- inion Government pays for most of the survey. It has been started at East Point. By next summer it is hoped to have all the lend south of Iliillsbmc River surveyed.
