THE TABLES TURNED The chairman. 1hr. Malcolm MacNe1il, Little Sands, after fre- quently calling for order, rose to his feet. "Mr. Campbell," he said. “received a courteous hearing to- night. Who gave it to him? The Conservative party gave it to him. Ilut the Liberals don't want to givc the Premier a chance to be heard!" This rebuke, greeted with loud applause by the audience, had its affect. But the climax came with- in a few minutes, when Mr. Thane Campbell, after making one inter- ruption, got to his feet to make another. "Sit down." shouted the aud- ience indignantly. “Take your medicine!" lvilr. Campbell's stentorlan voice was drowned in shouts from all quarters of the hail. "Sit down! sit down!” “You worn’! interrupted!" “Ila didn't interrupt you when you were talking." "SIT DOWN!" Mr. Campbell sat down, but got “D 9811!! 811d opened his mouth t0 Speak. Again the audience roared. Ho waited for a while, but there was no cessation of the clamour. It came from all parts of tho hall, the audience, thoroughly aroused, booted him down with a clamour that fairly shook the hall. PREMIER TO THE RESCUE The Premier came generously to his opponent's rescue, accepting the correction of his quotation of Mr. Campbell's remarks, which Mr. Campbell had been cndeavoring vainly to make. - THE STRONG CONSERVAT- IVE SENTIMENT OF THE MEETING, UNDEMONSTRATIVE AT FIRST. WAS STIHKINGLY SHOWN BY THE FAG!‘ THAT THE PREMIER HAD NO DIFFI- CULTY IN SPEAKING AT THIS STAGE, OR IN CONCLUDING HIS REMARKS, WHEREAS THE LIBERAL DEPUTY LEADER SIMPLY COULD NOT GET A HEARING, BUT TIME AND AGAIN WAS ORDERED TO "SIT DOWN" AND “TAKE YOUR MEDICINE." It was a striking lesson to Lib- eral hccklcrs of being "hoist with their own petard." and it came with such overwhelming effect that it would have blown Mr. Campbell sky-high, but for the Premier's kindly intercession. A vote of thanks, moved by Mr. Annsar and seconded by "Mr. Johnston, was tendered the chair- man for his able and impartial handling of the meeting, PREMIEIVS ADDRESS The Premier first dealt with some of the statements of Mr. John A. Campbell, the Liberal candidate. Mr. Campbell had said that at one time in the history of the Provinces there were no taxes; then we had an income and land taxes imposed on us. "I will ask Mr. Campbell," said the Premier, "to tell us who imposed those taxes? What gov- ernment? , (Mr. Campbell remained silent.) Prenlicr MacMillan: "You might ask him some time." Mr. Campbell: "I will tell you now: sir Louis Davies." Premier Mardtfillan: "Sir Louis Davies and Hon. Frederick Peters- boih Idbcra " (Applause). "Hc says this Province should be able to carry on without taxes." con- tinued the Premier. "That is the very argument we used before the White Commission, in presenting our case on which we realised $150,- time to come." (Applause). "Mo. Campbell was also frank Iiough to state that if there cvd was a time when a government was justified in going into dept fir ab; rpose of hsl in peopo Erlovincs, it w; gin the last four yggm, Right again!

Wqpd plans. and subsidy clam“, Ml’ hon. friend Mr. Thane Camp- bell stated the other night that this question of claims is now settled," continued the Premier. "I nay tel] him that the matter of our provin- cial claims is never settled. He is only repeating what Laurler said u. 1907, that the settlement then reach. ed was "final and unaiterabie. ' Denies Luurier “‘ ' - MP- Thane Campbell: "He did not Say that; he said it was not settled." Premier MaoMilian: "Lauriefls words were that it. was ‘final and unaltcrable.’ It is useless for my hon. friend to deny that." (Ap- plause). “We maintain, on the m“. trary, that there is no final and lln- alterable settlement and that the door at Ottawa is never dosed to anyone with backbone enough to open it." (Applause). " ANSWERS MR. LEA Hon. Mr. Lea in his radio address the other night stated that the Lib- erals at one time obtained 8100.000 in subsidy claims," continued the Premier. "$30,000 of that was for breach of Confederation terms re- Bflfdill! 118-1118811011; that is the only distinct claim that they can take any credit for presenting success fully. The next amount of $70,000 was not a special claim of this Pro- vince, because every Province in Canada had a readjustment of sub- sidy at that time, and it was receiv- ed by this Province as a matter of course. ' "In, 1913, however, the Mathieson Government obtained an additional $100,000 for all time. The Conserva- tives are entitled to take full credit for that, because no other Province received a subsidy readjustment at that time; it was a special ase." THE DUNCAN COMMISSION "They say that the Conservative federal members voted against the appointment of the Duncan Com- mission," the Premier continued, "Why did they vote against it? Bo- cause they said the Federal Govern- ment might as well take the matter into their own hands. and settle it ithemselves. That was their conten- on. "The Commission sat in 1936, and who prepared the case for this Pro- vince? A Conservative government. Who got the award of $125,000 sup- sidy increase in 1927? A Conserva- tive Government. Is not the Con- servative govemment entitled to the credit, after presenting are case and getting the money?" (Applause). ' A Moot Question "What did the Duncan Commis- sion recommend at that time? That there should be an immediate and final settlement. Our Liberal friends were in power in 1927,1928, 1929 and 1930. Those were the years, they tell us, that were Canada's most pros- perous years. There were Liberal gvormuents in power In this Pro- vince and at Ottawa. WHY DID THEY NOT GET A SETTLEMENT m THOSE YEARS? (Loud ap- plause). Continuing. the Premier cited Mackenzie King's statement in Par- liament on Feb. 18, 192B, that “for some reason or other" the claims had not been put forward by the Maritime Provinces." (Applause). ANSWERS HECKLER Liberal heckler "What was the price of potatoes then?" - Premier MacMillanz "I might read you what Err-Premier Saunders says about the price of potatoes at that time, and the conditions of our farmers at that time.

"And surely, ladies and gentle-l men, we needed money just as much then as now, because the Liberal Government went in debt 81,177,000 in their four years of office. (Ap- piauco). ' Mr. Ma's Excmc "What was Mr. Leo's excuse for their failure to press our subsidy claims? He said, many times in the Legislature. that it was because the Conservative Premiers of Nova Scotia. and New Brunswick would not co-operats with Mr. Saunders. But what are the words of My, ‘Saunders? Mr. Saunders, in his letter to Finance Minister Robb on Oct. 7, 1939, says that he had "on different occasions declined to co- operate with Premier Rhodes and Premier Baxter in a joint presents. tion." He had also "declined to have anything to do with a propmsqd meeting of the Maritime Board o; Trade in this connection." (Ap- plause).

(Applause). ¥I2PELESS LIBERAL yogygy hobeiessness of the Liberal policy with regard to unemploymeng relief was next dealt with. “The chief way that we can help the peg- ple o! this Province at the present time," the Premier said, "is by pub- lic works expenditures. The only way that we can do that is by co. OPeration with the Dominion Gov- emment." lprgiberal, heckler: "Is that Bennett's "N9. my M01111,” rctortcd the Pro. mier. “They are not Bennett’; pm. mlse: they are Bennett's fulfil. m" - (Applause).

The road policy un- der the Act was not initiated by the Bell Government but by tho Arsen- al" Government. and run and his 99119081100 at that “mew-including Mr. Lea and Mr. McIntyre_¢¢. nounced it as a ‘dammblc scheme.’ " But when they came into power they u" Mlle! and received their portion of the grant, as the other 159711106! did. The Bell Government "$90 11D 8400.000 of this Provlnces appropriation during their time, and under the Stewart Government we used up the rest of it, about $300.. 000. That is the story of the high- Wly trants. (Applause). The Premier than dealt with Old Age Pensions, showing how the Lib. erals had promised e“ pensions in 1927 and had faiie to establish them, and how the Conservatives had implemented a similar promise which they has made m 193i. Continuing. amid repeated Liberal mierruntlons. he dealt with the mu- fifll Policy respecting abolition of government cars. ‘They propose," he said, "to give an allowance to the Ministers and officials instead of “P8- Thc Very same plan was tried by the Federal Government and hm to be discarded. If you want service, the plan that is in operation now will be continued, and if they should elected and should change it, they will not get the service that you are entitled to, nor will there be any money saved. Savings At Falconwood The Premier then referred to the establishment. under his Govern. ment, of a. cold- storage plant at Inlconwood and to the saving in maintenance costs of 842,000 a year — over a hundred thousand dollars saving’ in thrbo years, as coal-spared with lbcral management. "This ls tbc- party." ha scored, “which now promises to make rav- unuc and expenditure meet.

(Laughter). a Premier MaeMiilan: "Exactly, And Mr. Isa was a leading member of that government, and you all rs- membcr the arguments Mr. Lea used in favor of that poll tut. He said the young men at home, as well as the old man, ought to pay toms; and when the poll tax was put on (Laughter and applause).

Premier Machliiian: “And you would betworsc off hem because they have promised h make revenue and expenditum moot, and they have no pol-icy with respect to un- employment relief." (Applause) "Do you seriously consider that the Liberals can do any better for you now than they did four years ago?" continued the Premier, amid further applause. ' WHICH POLICY BEST‘! They say that with this money from Ottawa we should have saved money. They know, however, that for every dollar of unemployment money we obtained from the Federal Government we had to put up a dol- lar of our money, and we had to take charge of the administration, so it was impossible to save money as they suggest. The money was not given to be saved; it was given to be expended in unemployment rc- Iief. The benefit was that we had that much more money to expend throughout the country. What pause is there in criticism of that kind, that we should have saved and let our people go unaided? (Loud ap- plause). That was our policy for the last four years, and if we come in again it will be our policy for the next five years. Now look at the Liberal policy, and ask yourself what hope it offers in this regard. (Ap- plause). "Remember," added the Premier, "they ran the country into debt to the tune of $1,177,000 in their last your years, when there was no de- pression. WHAT WILL THEY DO NOW Hi‘ RETURNED TO POWER. (Loud applause). Road Gravclling Turning to the question of road gruvelling, the Premier showed that under Liberal rule gravel from Nova. Scotia was imported to the amount of 20,000 tons a. year for three years; this at a cost of $2.50,_$2.55 and $2.60 per ton. "That is where your money went-for Nova Scotia. grav- el," he said. "Our policy has been, and is, to develop local gravel pits and use this splendid Island gravel on the roads. WHICH POLICY D0 YOU THINK IS BEST? (Applause). Liberal leader's Speech Mr. Thane A. Campbell, who fol- lowed the Premier, said that what is now at stake was the record of the present Governmnet and the policies of the two parties. The Liberal platform, he maintained was “evolved in a very democratic manner," the candidates themselves concocting it after having "sifted" the recommendations they had ze- celved from their constituents. “We studiously avoided making pro- mises," he said-forgetting that the first plank in the Liberal platform ista. promise to “balance the bud- ge ." He "had not time tonight," Mr,_ Campbell said. to go over the Lib- erai platform. But the platform and manifesto had been published in the Pioneer and the Patriot, "and if you wish to have a copy of the manifesto you can do so by applying to your candidates." (No one present showed any in- d-ication to take advantage of this generous offer). "N0 TIME" Mr. Caanpbell had "no time" either, to discuss the revelations in the correspondence between Ear-Premier Saunders and‘ Mac- kenzie King and Finance Minister Robb. "I don't think it is neces- sary," he said, whllc the audience smiled incredulcusly, "because that ls past. history." He than proceeded to discuss the first plank in the Conserva- tive platform. Voice: "Excuse me. What is your plank?" Mr. Campbell: "I will come to The White Commission, Mr. Campbell said, had stated that the door was closed at Ottawa against further subsidy claims. That was the majority finding, and the ma- jority report always prevails. There were “certain very important fea- tures displayed in the minority re- port,” but the most important, he maintained, was that it showed "how unsatisfactory from the standpoint of this Province was the ‘increase that the Maolviillan Government succeeded in obtain- ing. The Bennett Government. he continued, in paying subsidy in- (rt-eases was ‘Simply 511K108 i119 money from your other tax poc- ket." He referred to t/he increased income tax returns credited to this Province (from non-resident com- panies registered here under the Domiciled Companies Act) and maintained that these figures showed we were paying seven times more income tax than be- fore, and that "out of this increase they one generous enough to hand its back $150,000 in subsidy in- crease." Dealing with the fhmnces, the deputy Liberal leader maintained the Conservatives increased ex- penditures by $i.700,000 in three years, including "a. million dollars" of’ ordinary expenditure increase. The mandate oi’ the MscMiFan Government, he maintained was to eflfect savings in public expendi- tures. "They had," he insisted, "the (lpportvunity of making great savings all along the line. We should expect, them to come before you tonigiht and tell you that they expenditures." $540,000, he said, was the total of liabilities ing char8¢d wholly Premier had "deceived the people" in this regard. The total debt increase under the liberals in four years. he de- clared, was only $934,000- The Omlervativss in their three full ysaia increased the liabilities by Audience Not Interested Mr. ii went into a Dilgthly discusion of figures.

I. Light Horse which are in camp here will carry on military manoeuvres in the coun- try north of Charlottetown this week. On July 15 an enemy force of approximately one brigade lands at Rustico and moves towards Char- lottetown, They are held up by the 16th Infantry Brigade in the af- ternoon of July 10 in the vicinity of Darlington-Eiaenezer and are apparently pinned to the ground in that line. An enemy detachment consisting of approximately one regiment of the Mounted ‘Troops and Cyclists are reported moving from vicinity of Rustico eastward along the coast towards St. Peter's apparent- l_v acting as covering force to en- able additional enemy forces to make a, surprise landing near Tracadie for purpose of turning the right flank of the 18th In- fantry Brigade, which is en- trenched on the high ground run- ning from Ernyvale-North Wilt- shire-Darllngton—lihenezer. The P. E. I. Light Horse have been de- tailed to intercept this covering force and so protect the right flank of the position. The Light Horse will fight its way to this point, and bivouac at the summer home of His Honour Lieutenant Governor Debloia who is the Honorary Colonel of the Regiment. They then tum along the shore line and perform rear- auard action on the way in. About 80 all ranks of the Light Horse will be engaged, under com- mand of Lieut. Col. F.

He specifically included in this criticism the experimental high- way undertakings last year, which “shuid have been made two or three ycazrs ago." The Borden-Charlottetown high- way, he figures, would cost $800,- 000, of which the Province would have to pay $532,000." He thought we would be "very fortunate" if the Government did not increase the ‘liabilities approximately two million dollars in their four years. Practices Economy Sneenlngiy. the Liberal leader quoted one of the candidates in his district; as saying that Premier MacMillan was just getting into his stride. If he went much fur- ther he would be needing seven- ieague boots. The idea of expan- sion in public services meant ex- pansion of debts and liabilities until the bursting point. Which- ever government was returned, they would have to make revenue and expenditure meet. This, he maintained, did not mean curtail- ing lmemployment relief, old age pensions, etc. Voice: "How are you going to do it?" Mr. Campbell: "It can be clone by a reduction in the number of officials which the present Gov- m-nment has seen fit to increase all along the line; by exercising a reasonable amount of economy and control in all the departments." Voices: "What about the Mc- Intyre Highway?" (Laughter). Ignoring this sally, Mr. Camp- bell added reference to abolition of government motor cars to his bal- anced budget" program. Criticising the Government's bond transaction for the purpose of funding Liberal bank overdraft. he said if the Government had waited four months they would have saved huge amounts as Nova Scotia did. (Nova Scotia made no bond issue in that year). As an exam/pie of Government "bungling" he said, “they got $23,- 000 from Ottalwa and they ex- pended that $23,000 in hauling clay from the Exhibition Grounds to the dump." The Conservatives, he said, had increased the overdraft in their first four months "from a million dollars to $1,428,000!’ He denied that there was a. Lib- eral deficit of $30,000 left in the School Supply Department in 1931. This amount, according to the External Auditor, he said, was only $10,000. He announced that Mr. Leas health was "rapidly improving." Concluding, he expressed “re- grey, that I have not time to go fully into all the planks of our platform." PHEMIERJS REBUTTAL The Premier, in rebuttal, show- ed from the Internal. Auditor's statement, that, the Liberal defic- it in the School Supply was $86.- 000, and not $10,000 as stated by Mi‘. Campbell. Mr. Camyoell, interrupting, maintained this was not the whole had a magnificent surplus over all , gtory. The Premier at once pro- zduced the Public Accounts. and showed where the sum of 036-000 in 1931. , had been paid to meet this deficit. Mitch was incurred jointly by Lib- E I-Ie then cited Mr. Campbell's crala and Conservatives. He com- reference to the Liberal debt in- plained that this amount was be- -crease.

Mr. ‘Lea. late Lea Government. and that the , had maintained it was some $900,- , 000.- The Auditors‘ statements lshrvwed it was actually $1,177,000. , Mr. Campbell interrupted t0 say he had stated $934,000. MR. CAMPBELL SILENCED The audience, however, after the manner in which the Premier had been infempted by Liberal heck- lers, refused to hear Mr. Campbell at all. Cries of “Sit down. "Take your metfcine." "lie didn't Infer- rupt you.” were heard from all parts of the hall. Several times .

On Oct. 29, 1931, when the Liberals went out. the liabilities were $4,337,000. All you have to do is subtract the two figures, and you will find that their debt increase was $1,177,000. and NEITHER MR. CAMPBELL NOR MR.

OPENING ADDRCSSES Mr. Fred Johnson, Conservative candidate, who was the first speaker. analyzed the Liberal pol- icy of economy and "balanced bud- get" as one of inslncerity, it be- ing the obvious duty of every government today in provide em- ployment and the tide the people over the depression. “Why," he asked. “did they not balance tllel: budget when they had the opportunity to do so?" lie contrasted this with the MacMil- ian Government's record of por- formancc and with its aggressive policy for the future. His remarks were enthusiastically applnulicrl. MR. JOHN A, CAMPBELL Mr. Campbell, Liberal candidate said he did not feel able to ad- dress an audience as intelligent as iihls audience. "Intelligent people today know more about the elec- tion issues than we do." he added. The Lea Government had been criticised "for the manner in which the money was being wasted st that time," hemontinucd. “If there was any time when a Government would be justified in going into debt it was during the last four years.‘ Mr. Campbell ad- mitted. He maintained, however. that the Government had not gone behind 01000000 by helping the people. Notwithstanding the need of spending money, even to the ex- tent of going behind, Mr. Camp- bell thought the present time was one in which it was necessary to be very economical. The Macmillan Government, he believed, "had tlie greatest chance of any govern- ment in existence of saving money if they had wanted to do so." A car worth $3,000. Mr. Camp- boli maintained, had been sacri- ficed for $1,000 "to save some pol- thcussnds of, dollars clan be sand‘ if the Gowsniment is amafvbld if they are working in the interests d the country," be Next Time You Say That, Just A REMEMBER THIS! You may love your husband a lot—and he love you. But if you insist on doing your own wash- ing, on wearing down your health and your beauty-your husband CAN lose interest.
