THE llllllllii
Yestorduy’s Examiner says:
"Without reference, particularly to
Mr. J. J. Hughes, M. P., or the Pat-
riot, a few undeniable facts bearing
on the claim ot this province on ac-`
count 'of public lands in which the
province had an interest, may tend
to a better understanding of the hiat-
ter by the electors of the First Disf
trict oi’ Kiiig‘s and the public at large.
“Away buck iii the year 1908, the
Leader of the Opposition (now Pre-
mier Mathieson) laid down 9. “Plat-
form," one of the planks of which
\vas:
"5, .Compensation (to this pro-
vince) in respect to the public lands
of Canada which have been trans-
ferred to the larger provinces without
any consideration i`or the interest ot
this province therein."
“Speaking at Georgetown in the
course ot the same year, Mr. Mathie-
sou said as to this plank: We had a
partnership share in these (the pub-
lic) lands. W7e bear upon our shoul-

MONTREAL, Dec. 23, Special. -
The Itoyal Bunk is out with the best
statement it has ever submitted to
its shareholders. In fact, the Roy-
al's statement this year iswlikely to
make banking history because it re-
veals not only a position of record
'strength but even shows that it was
‘possible for a Canadian Bank, under
the unprecedented conditions of past
year, to forge ahead in the matter of
net profits.
During the past few years there
was, from time to time, ample evid-
ence ot the way the Royal was stead-
ily going ahead, but it remained for a
statement such as is iiow being for-
warded to shareholders ami appears in
this issue to indicate the wonderfully
strong organization the Royal 'has

“Year after year so long as the Con-
servatives were ifi opposition the same
irret`utable argument was addressed to
the Legislature and the Liberal Gov-
ernment then in odlce-but in vain.
"No sooner were the Conservatives
cstalilislietl in oliicc at Ottawa and in
Charlottetown than l’rcinicr Mathie-
son; with Hon. Mr. McLean and lion.
Mr. Arscnnull, went to Ottawa as n
ticputaiiou from tht- l'rovint-ini Gov-
crnincnt. They sulnnitted it slateniont
of tho claims ol' thc province, and
their ilol'clice oi' those claims wus
hciird by this tlovciuinitviit. 'l‘hcu, in
a surprisingly short. time, as cvory-
one must i‘i:iiiiniiboi~, .$100,000 was add-

granted at the time of the union t`or
certain public lands, the sum of only

and we have recently placed Mani-
toba on the same basis on grounds ot'
equity and justice. Therefore, a very
strong argument can be made in favor
of thc Province oi' Prince Edward is-
land by reason of the fact that she
has never had any public domain and
that her case has been difierentiiitecl
i`roin that of all the other provinces of

that, in 1912, the Minister of Fiiiancei
declarcd~t,`hat this claim had ‘been
put forward very strongly.” _ _ _._ ,
"If to the facts here set i’orih there
be added the additional fact that the
Goveriimeu here had been informed
of the exact amount of the increase
of the subsidy some time before Mr.,

should be increased on account of the

difficulty in arriving at the conclusion
that not Mr. J. J. Hughes, M. I"..,
