Ladies and gentlemen. in all earnestness. I ask you to pause and consider what the Conserva- tive Party offers you today by way of a sound constructive pro- gram for the future and the men we have to carry our standards and put our program into force. TIME FOR A CHANGE As election day draws near. I believe the great day of house cleaning is nearly a reality. it is truly time for a rhangc l have travelled ihrniighntii the Province during this campaign I have talkerl in many hundreds of peo- ple, fliir candidates are all of good heart. working hard and ready for the great day. They are deeply gratified by the friend- liness and warmth of your recep- tion. Our meetings have been well IilPIlfiPd. our supporters anti com- mittee men are all tip and doing. There is a cliangm in the air. I and my candidates have talked to many Liberals and Liberal com- mitlce men anti even there we have found support and encour- agement. Mnny fair-minded peo- ple who have been Liberal sup- porters are fed up with this pre- sent circus. I The Government members are laying the dust from one end of the Province to the other-road machines on the go. stakes th'iv- en and pulled up. grading and gravelllrig private lanes. All this is being done with your own money and without rhyme nor reason. It is not a road-improve ment program but a mad stam- pede f9r votes. Why I am told that machine operators and en- gineers are over-night almost overwhelming I: the anxiety to please. I repeat - this mad scramble for votes is being paid for by you-and you aionew the voters of this Province. Imagine trying to fool the peggle. Although our people maybe nded by the dust. they will not be fooled. CONSERVATIVE PLATFORM. . . . Now before I deal directly with the Conservative Party's program for better government. I would like to make just one general ob- servation. our Liberal friends have evidently been in an agony of sus- pense about this platform. And well they might. You will re- call that 'it has been the prac- tice in the past for the Conser- vative Party to bring out its plat- form early in the campaign. Then our Liberal friends would bring out at least one-and sometimes two-platforms in an effort to bid for public favour and to out- promlse us. The people know now how little Liberal Platform pro mises are. But our Conservative program was brought out in plenty of time for all to see and study it. It was brought out four full days before the election. Further. there are no ticks. nothing radical about this plat- form. It is sound. reasonable and practical program. it promises no miracles-there is nothing in it that cannot be achieved through sound administration of your af- fairs and by good government. But there was another reason for the appearance of the plat- form today and not earlier than today. It i simply diis: we en to spend a good deal of shrrt time allotted us in Clllllilldn to fully the Government's record. We wanted '0 live the Government every opportunity to make whatever do-. fense they could of their record. ecure the main issue-and the main issue was and still is whe- ther or not this Province is get- tlirlilg the best government pos- s e. The 15-point program of Conservative Party is not, in it- self a complete manifesto of all our aims and purposes as your government. This is only a dir- ectionai sign. It will Indicate to you the kind of administration We want to give you and it will Elva you some idea of the ways We hope to achieve our goals. IIOPEFUL WHITE STAKES But although we see these days a landscape rampant with hope- ful white stakes driven into the ground. the greatest change on the whole landscape is the change the disposition of Liberal friends. The candidates reflect the dour look of their leader - when he smiled. they smiled but now that his mood has turned to one of despair. their smiles have vanished. Even Earle McDonald has lost his grin. The Premier started out two years ago with all the good will in the world. We were all be- hind him - yes. even the Op- position. We wished him well. But where is the Premier to- day? Whnt is his position? Well, I didn't hear his last radio address but I am told he was mad - swearing road. He was at North Rustico the other night with his former member. Mr. Kltson. re-introducing George Kltson to the North side of the district. The Premier was not at his case. A former supporter of his. who attended the meet- ing. asked me Lnted, "What is wrong with the Premier? I've never seen him looking so wor- ried." Since the Matheson Govern- Imcnt took up the reins of power. two cabinet Ministers have. resigned. another one or two, it has been reliably reported, have been asked to resign - another ” t minister was beaten by his own nominating convention and still another member. the former Clerk of the House. suf- fered the same fate. Even Ot- tpua has failed to smile on the li'i'f,'mlPf. So he slarled two years ago ,vvilh everyone with him and in- lday he is at odds with many in ibis own party. He has become so tangry and sullen that be has re- vferred to us as ”s gang" and said we were like Hitler. Such abuse is not becoming from the lips of any men but coming as it does from your Premier. we must realize how great is his alarm at this time when he sees defeat staring him in the face. Ladies and gentlemen, I have placed before you. as published this morning. a platform that I ask you to read carefully. I feel that it is a progressive one to meet the needs of Prince Edward Island. and I ask you to support it on May 25th. I will new review some of the parts of the program that may need further explana- tion. Of first importance to my mind, if we are to enjoy the ad- vantages as set in planks I to 15 we must first of all have good Government that is a Govern- ment or cabinet working and ad- ministering all departments for the benefit and welfare of all citizens. We must have a Gov- ernment that will respect all citizen's rights; that will be on guard at all times that the tax- payers money is not squandered and that the revenue is spent for the people and not go into the hands of a few who are friends of the Government or one of its Minister's. To do this and be a proper government, the govern- ment must be staffed by proper ministers and officials and by these giving their undivided at- tention to the job for which they are paid. Each must be head- ed by a qualified and full-time man. You know, Mr. Farmer. who can't successfully operate your farm if you do not give it your undivided attention. DUTIES NEGLECTED During the past few years. we have seen the administrative res- ponsibilities of Ministers of the Crown neglected. We have a sit- uation now where Ministers of Government who are paid up- wards of 36.000 a year seem to feel they need only attend their departments when the mood airikes them. At least four Min- isters spent most of their time conducting other business even outside of the provincial capital. Some Ministers drop into their offices once a week. another two or three time a week. They drive into town from their homes at your expense-that is. you must pay for mllsge expenses on top of their 38.500 a year salary. And what are the qualifications Conservative Meeting PARISH HALL. TIGNISH. Tuesday. May 24H: M I P. M. Sid. Time Come and hear your candidates. J. W. Don Campbell. and J. Hubert Gaudei . " It. it. Sell. Conservative leader will address the - meeting. lveryene welcome. We wanted nothing else to ob- should of Ices Ministers! Let as take the glaring example of the De- partment of Health and Welfare. This department is of great im- onrtance to every man, woman and child II this Province. It is spending millions of dollars in federal subsidies and grants. it be under the direction of a competent medical man. I have nothing against our shop- iteepers-but experience has shown they do not often make good Min- isters of Health. Would a farmer the turn ever the operation of his farm to a garage mechanic? Would a farmer call in s black- smith tn tend his sick cattle. I have never complain ' of the services rendered this province by our civil servants in the var- ious departrnents. They do the best they can and are for the most part unpaid. But their task is to carry out policy and when there is no policy there is nothing to carry out but the waste bas- ket at the end of the day. If the Minister is competent and on the Job. government will every department of our be the better for it and you, the public, will benefit from the results. I can make this pledge with solemn assurance. Under a Con- servative government there will be square pegs in round holes. and further. ministers will travel from their private homes to their pub- lic office as you and I do -- at their own expense and not at the taxpayer's expense. no part-time Ministers. no Let me. at this time. say some- thing to our friends in the gov- ernment service. One of the mea- sures which a new Conservative Government will undertake is to strengthen and improve the sta- tus of our civil servants. During this election, there have been some who have been forced to take active part in politics - I am sure against their bidding-A good government would not permit it. indeed. We will do all we can to prevent this being done in fu- ture. And I would add to that the assurance that s new govern- ment will bring no interruption to the government career of any of- ficial. Although many people may have been hired by the present Government because believed to be Liberals. I can as- sure you that none will be fired for the same reason. The rights and independence of our Civil Service is a vital part of good government. We will see that their rights and their dance is restored and maintained. they were indepen- FARMERS AND FISHERMEN I will now deal with Plank 2 concerning agricultural assistance and Plank I regarding rtiral elec- trification. 25th. my party besides carrying on all the will set On election on May other essential work of Department of Agriculture up necessary funds to create a service whereby far- mers and fishermen and those de- siring io become farmers may rs- seive loans at low interest rates over long terms of repayment for the purpose of purchasing farms. live stock, farm machinery. fish- ing boats and fishing equipment and for the purchase of fishing buildings and construction of freezers and storage buildings. No down payment shall be neces- sary. The money will be borrow- ed as needed from time to time by our Government at the low- eat possible rates which will be passed on to the borrower. I am convinced that this plan is the best method whereby we can keep our boys and girls at home and the cure for our vacant farms. Despite the Liberal in- difference to these dire condi- KAININO. TICK CIVIC ttons it is not yet too late and we must start at once if this Pro- vince is to continue to grow and our youth to be retained here. The Liberal Governments have assembled many other such as home builders, restaurant build- ers and hotel builders but there is no help for the establishmen of a farmer. In 1951 I propound- ed this policy. If I had been elect- cd to power then many young men would have been established now and many needy farmers and fishermen supplied with cap- ital credit to make them pros- perous today. The plan. due to the short election notice. did not gel to the people. Many farmers and fishermen and young men wanting to farm who voted li- beral then. admitted later to me that they did not know of the plan. but I have in the past four years kept it before our people. The Liberals denounce it and OUT IIITTII bCL'0I'l'l! vacant, DVPT 3000 less active farms since the Liberals came to pllitef in Prince Edward Island. Last fall over the radio a Liberal Cabinet Minister ridiculed this D(lllC) and said "Why flog a dead hotse"" The horse is not dead and ii that Ca- binet Minister was in active pol- itics today land not in s llaiPn of security) he might realize that his dead horse hart mmc to life The horse is not dead in the other! provinces and there is the not able example of Quebec where now is to the forcefronf in Can- ada in agriculture and farm set i tlement due to the Guvernmcnl Farm Credit Board eSlIlhllSllEfl ill 1937, whereby settlement farmers and new farmers may borrnw without deposit on interest rates of 2lA'.4l. with loans repnyable in forty years if necessary. What Quebec did to save al-,l'l(.'- ullure and farmers. so can Prince Edward islanders do if a far- mers" party be elected. which is the Conservative Party. A for- mer cannot borrow money todriy. if he could it would be scvcn per-1 cent. The Government can al- ways bnrrow it at from 3 to 4 per cent. Why not pass it over to our farmers? The Government cannot lose: they would have securit,v on the property and stock. By good ad- ministration in Quebec they have lost nothing on their venture and have added millions to their rev- enues by the wonderful condition in agriculture in Quebec today. Even if our Government lost a few thousand. wouldn't it he a good cause. the cause of our boys and girls and our vacant farms? They squander hiindreris of thon- ssnds in road and bridge build- ing. lens of thousands in their foolish Shipping Company and thousands in their building opera- lions at Falconwnod and Reach Grove inn. including the famous Fslmnwnnd barn btiilt at a cost of 330.000. Ladies and gentlemcn. i sin- cerely ask you in consider if this plan of assistance is not long over due. If it had been inau- gerated 20 years ago. when first pressed for it. would we have lost over 3.000 producing farms. would we have inst the hundreds of young men and wo- men that we have? The late Premier. Senator Jones. -at the Dominion Provin- cial conference at Ottawa in 1950 made use of the fact in his brief that Prince Edward Island had (I higher percentage of children and people of 50 years than any other province of Canada and pointed out that the people of P.E.I. in the prime of life were quitting it.

By their departure Hie Province loses not only the most efficient type of worker but also the ener- getic ability important to further expansion of domestic industry and enterprise.” Premier Jones knew then what the trouble was but the present Government thought it was a "dead horse.” RURAL ELECTHIFICATION Rural electrification is an as- sentisl with farm settlement and we offer to all to be used a policy that the present Liberal Matheson Government have def- initely refused to consider. d- though myself and followers ar- gued very strongly for it on the floor of the House. We propose more lines to be run each year. the isolated sreui. or back roads to get equal attention and most important of all, your Conserva- tive Gavernnient will pay the full shot of taking the line right to your very barn and house yard. We are sincerely no down pay- ment. No time payment. No strings attached and no increase in your rates; they are too high as if is We are on sound ground: in the long run the lines will be paid out of the Government share of the monthly privi-er bill. The policy is simple if we have to run. say, is tvvn-mile line with ten sill-scrthr-i'.;. we will run the lines to the yard also which may mean an extra half mile. We will pay for this and we will deal with the utility company or other i-ontt'a(-ttir. We feel that the cost of running lines from the road to the farmcrs' yards as at present is excessive. but at any rate the would-be user will have no fur- ther worries as we will pay the whole line bill. We are merely fnllnvting the practise set up by the Liberal Province of Manitoba and in that Province you will understand the great length of lines required there to take the power to farmers' yards. At the last session of the Legislature the Premier could give no good rea- son why the lines should not to to the farmers yards except that -oh it wniild not be fair to Stone who would have put power in years before. That in lo argu- nit-nt hecmise these previous users harl enjoyed the benefit of pnwer for years. but we will pro- tect those who recently have h- stallerl power. Ynii will note carefully Ise po- licy of assistance in those harw souls engaged in our great fish- cries. They need help and our long term loans should be of great help. Our policy on education h set forth at length. Although govern- mcnis should not gs-nernlLv need rznvernment wmmisslons. never- theless. under 20 years of Liberal rule we have arrived at the im- iiaprty situation of a very serious Si:llP of affairs and a complete investigation must be made. WELFARE BENEFITS And nnw as to welfare benefits. Knowing the need and following the policy of the other provinces of Canada. I am very conscious of the serial): situation of many of our nld age pensioners, who have absolutely no property II income. Rents and board are high.
