LEPAGE (Continued from Page 3) -——~I Claims Liberal Credit If anyone should get credit for 014 Ase Pensions, l maintained, it was the Liberal GOV- ernments that passed the legisla- tion and not the Conservatives. Qonflnulnz. he chided urb Gov- ernment _for not obtaining more moo, from Ottawa on their sev- eral ‘ ps" to the capi tal. Mr. McIntyre as Minister of Public Works had gone to Ottawa alone in i930 and had got $00,000 from the Bennett Government. Three members of this Government went later and “only got 130,000." Hon. Mr. Sharp: “Don't you sup- pese the extra $30,000 was worth the trip of two other men?" Mr- I-ePflBe: “No. you should hive let three times the amount." The Dominion Government. he continued, had paid out altogether us 1-2 million dollars for relief. Our share of that would b; $1,350,. 000 and we needed it as badly as any part of the Dominion. Had our representatives presented the case Pmperly we should have got much more than we received, he maln- tained. In addition the Western PI°V1I0BI 8015 $93,000,000 "not one dollar of which will ever be paid back because they have already d9. faulted on the interest." ' Reference had been made to a mp which he, Mr. LePsse. had made to the ‘Ibronto Exhibition, and it had been stated he had spent ten days exhibiting New Brunswick potatoes. Hon. Mr. Sharp: days did you spend?" "How many The Toronto Exhibition Mr. LePage wanted to make it clear that he was not "exhibiting New Brunswick potatoes." The p09,. toes were all shown as "Maritime pomtoes." It was true they had to use New Brunswick potatoes. be- cause one olliclnl. in the Depart- ment here had sent potatoes up for exhibit and they were not properly wrapped and arrived in a bruised condition. Mr. LcPage spent twenty- one days at Toronto, the first year and Wt $121 in expenses. The Nova Scotla and New Brunswick men Stayed at the Royal York Hotel and ran up a blg bill, while lie. Mr. l-fiPflle, contented himself with staying “at a boarding residence." He had Just s; much right hovwver to have stayed at the Royal York “as you fellows had to go to the Chateau Imurlnr and swell out your chests!" (laughter) The income oi’ farmers today ls only 35 Per cent of what it was be- fore the depression, Mr. LePage said. About 50 per cent of our farlners "are really in bankruptcy." In many cases ‘ payments have gone behind for four or five srs. Provincial taxes have not < n paid. He was not blaming the Government because it is aver-y hard thing to collect back taxes in this Province: but the time is com- ing when they will have to be col- lected. Mlrietlng legislation Last year both sides of the House had agreed to the passing of the Marketing Act. Mr. hePage com- plained. however. that nothing was doncuntilitwsstoolatctoassist in marketing this year's crop. We have a good market for tur- nip! 1n United States centres and our product sells _p.t a premium. Had the marketing board been functioning and W886i! the price for turnips at least to N cents a bushel we would have sold Just as many turnips in the American market as if we gave them away here, Mr. IoPitge believed. By thismeariswecould have saved upwards fc $300,000 to the farmers of this Province. Tint money was lost, he said, because the govern- ments were d ‘ y in MATKQWIB Board functioning in proper time. He understood that turnips are retailing at 5 cents per 1b. in Boston while we are only gettingl-eofacerltapoundfor them. Approves Marketing Aet He was not condemning the Mark- eting 1m because he behaved it could be of auistance to the pro- ctiglgcrs both of turnip; and pota- Mr. LoPage then refer-red to the Palm man Act. There never was a better time than the present for the introduction of sum iegisb- ticn hare. 11a did not think the farmers should be lied to pay more than I or 4 percent interest when the Government can borrow money at 2 per cent.

There i; "lots of bait and lots of fish. and no need whatever of building frecscrs, Mr. LeiPagc de- clared. I Ho regretted the neglect of the mscker ‘ fishery. We arc today giv- ing a dole to the very fishermen who could have made several thousands of dollars in the esgregate by mac- kerel fishing last season had there been someone in the Department to advise them. He believed there was a. market for every fish that could be caught if we had a fishery department looking after the fishermen‘; inter- ests intelligently. Rocky Point Ferry Mr. mPage was glad to note that the Rocky Point ferry was to be re- placed. He was not lure, however, whether the boat which it is pro- posed to be built will be suitable. It must he able to take care of the service at least until the ice thick- ens every winter. The lumber avail- able today to build a boat would not last longer than twelve or fifteen years. It might be worth oonsi‘ in; building a steel boat, he sugfested. The Department might consider trying to get the Dominion Depart- ment taking over this ferry service. This might need “a little study,” but if it was properly gone into we might get it arranged. Premier MacMillIn: "no you know of any case where they have taken over provincial ferry services?" Mr. LePagc: "I understand s0. A understood that the road would be a hard surfaced highway. If not why was a good gravel road torn up‘! At present the roads are in “a desperate state with pltciles." Nothing had been done in the way of attention to winter roads, he c d. He charged "extravagance and financial plundering" on the part of the Government, criticising partic- ularly the administratlonQ-r gravel- iirrg programme under the Domin- ion unemployment relief grant. Men with trucks had been given the work in place of unemployed persons who had no trucks, and who received "only about l0 per cent" of the money. Upwards of $100,000 had been spent in gravel- ling, he calculated. and “practic- ally two-thirds of that was wast- sd." - World-wide Depression "We have been going through the greatest period of depression, prob- ably that the world hss ever known," Mr. LcPsge said. This was not a. time for the public funds to be wasted. Referring to the Prince of Wales College fire he said that a few hours after the fire he seen the walls eased in ice which proved that the heat had nothing to do with destroying them. He had been informed that the folmdatlorr represented in value anything from 560,000 to 070,000. It was, he main- tained, “s "far better foundation than is under the present ." and it should not have been scrapped. The College might Just as well be “out on the street" as where it is. The old foundation would have been all right if they had added Just another "L". $200,- 000, he maintained had been "wast- ed" in the building of the College. The linoleum and some oi the ‘frills" could have been omitted and the old foundation used. the session of i932 the then Liberal Opposition had oppos- ed the borrowing of money except on short terms, but their advice was not followed. The Premier had stated that the $200,000 was hor- rowed before the $1,000,000 and that both issues were made with- out calling for tenders. This Mr. IcPa-ge suggested "made matters worse." e few years ago we consldcrcd that matter and there were some cases.‘ inland places, too. I think you will: find that the Dominion Govcrnmentl is running s lot of ferries." He was pNpRred .to give credit to the Government for getting $150,- 000 extra subsidy claims settlement from Ottawa. The Government had an excellent Commissioner in Chief so sure about the other Commis- sioners. He regretted that the ser- vices of s man of the type of Sir Arldrew Rae Duncan had not been obtained as chairman. Clahus "Ably Presented" The Provinces case had been "Billy presen‘ d‘ he admitted but the credit should go, in the first pllwe. to the Duncan Commission - which had been appointed by the Mackenzie King Government.

The late Mr, Stewart, he added, had said we were reins to m I ‘ " IIICNISC "at- once."

The farmers are "not so anxious" about ding so much money as Mr. when declared. 1t would be "all "f! well if we had the money," but the financial condition is not satisfactory. In health activities it was to be oxwctod tint some progress under this government would be made, he mid. Nevertheless credit should be given to the Liberal Government fer its Public health work, includ- 1118 thn biliiditlfl of the Provincial Sanstorlum. He wag surprised m hear the Health Minister and his 170F110! say at a recent dinner function that the Conservative Gov- ernment had inaugurated the Health mpartmcnt. ‘ Deputy Minister had made the statement in his hearing. It being near 0 o'clock he moved the adjournment of the debate. load Gnvelihg Besuming the debate yesterday afternoon, Mr. IePagc said we have agooddealofgravellsdmsdsin this province and we did not ss- peot when promised a trans-Can- ads hishwsy by Mr. Bennett that it would bs a travelled road. He quoted a statement of Hon. Mr. Sharp in the Legislature last ses- sion in which Mr. Bennett was mentioned as having undertaken to build a trans-Canada highway up to th standard of other provinces with a rock bass-with gravel top; and that the Prime MinisW llNed to the alternative of building a gravel road with black top, and the Dominion was sending an engineer down in view of the situation. Hon. MI’. Sharp: "What would you take from the words ‘in view of the situation?" Mr. IePage: "I am Just taking the words that the Prime Minister ‘agreed to the alternative?’ Hon. Mr. Sharp: “He said he was sending an engineer down ‘in visw Justice Msthieson but he was not - As for the “million dollar over- draft" left by the Liberals, over- drafts were not uncommon in this province and a large overdraft had been left by the first Stewart Gov- esinment. $280,070, he maintained had been lost because the money had been borrowed at high rates of interest. Falconwood Hospital E SUMMERSIDE PRINCE _COUNTY can Had the west wing at. Falcon- wood been retained. we would now have sufficient accommodation for the Yirlconwood ,atients. But the govenmreut had been ambitious of building a building "that would take care of all the insane people in Canada," said Mr. baPage. He figured the total cost would have been "probably a, million and a half." The architect's fees and other expenses incurred meant "a loss to the n-ovinoe od st least 050. -" $20,000 of Dominion money had been "wasted" in removing clay from the Exhibition grounds to the railway property, he charged. A "lot of money" had also been wasted _at North Rustioo at ‘that time; instead of building up low lying places it had been spent "in a place that was no good." Premier Bennett's promises of social and economic reform were "Just a little more bluff." in Mr. LePsgch opinion. when the Liber- als wont out of office there were 20.000 unemployed and today there are a million and s. quarter. In this city alone we have about 2,000 people on relief, or about l to ‘I of the population, which is about the proportion all over Canada. Old Al!

Ifllll iuahrtained l ‘CB u“ stsais your soul and body. up, Iain goingtotellhimsomv, thing that will make him aet up and take notice beicre long." Continuing, he alleged that Mr. Bennett was “one of the six richest men in Canada" and was not sin- osre in his reform policies. The Prime Minister's statements regard- ing the need of social reform, how- ever were "all absolutely t." There was no doubt that the people were demanding radical social and business reforms. He contrasted the "millionaires" with the unemployed. We should take our hats off to the unemployed because they have been very patient in waiting for these reforms. There had been no rising anyiwhere in Canada,‘ Mr. LePage sai . ‘ ~ The old system of ‘ ‘ ‘ion under capitalism" was denounced. Notwithstanding the propaganda in the United states against the Roosevelt "new deal," lt has the support of the people and it is the capitalists that are opposing it. Mr. LePage also cited Lloyd George's reform policy in Great Britain. Mr. LoPageh Ibcniedy If the 551 millionaires in United States were given a, quarter of s million to live on and the balance of their money distributed to the unemployed, the unemployment problem could vanish. he believed Tiu: same was true of Canada but he was not prepared to say that the governments of either province could oonscript this moneydirectly. Canada. could, however pay off the whole national debt of 07.000.000.000 and save $100,000,000 in interest, by borrowing money at 2 per cent. No- body would be hurt by this mealts, he thought. "If a luan lends a mil- lion dollars to the country and gets a million dollars back he has no complaint." . Mr. LePage complained at some length of the inroads of the mall order and chain store business on smaller merchants and others. Our laws have been wrong to allow so many corporations to be formed. which have "gobbled up" so many‘ small concerns. He visualized a time when “every merchant in the country would be on the dole" as a result 0f large combines, if this 8ystem were unchecked. He lauded Hon. H. H. Stevens for instlgating an investigation into mass buying methods. "The big interests today tire ruin- lug Canada and we are made new- ers of wood and haulers of water," he insistedjadding that the Govern- ment “have got to get wise and con- scrlpt the wealth of this country." Mr. LePage declared he put-posed to give information to the country with regard to prohibition enforce- 11101117- H6 01d not know whether it should be called prohibition or con- trol, but all law-abiding peoplu would agree that we must control the smuggling that is going on. Called To Order He was “amused" to find that one o1 our Supreme Court Judges had made an onslaught on the Pro- hibition h‘ Mr. Speaker: "The hon. member is out of order in commenting 0n the Supreme Court Judges." lidir. LePage: “Have you the auth- ority?" Mr. Speaker: “You may produce any other authority.“ Mr. LePage: "Anyway. the corn- glents were very much uncalled or ." Mk". Speaker: "The member is out of order in offering any comment on the Supreme Cmrt Judges. He may read a Judgment of the Court or a. Judge's statement, but he must not comment on them." Mr. IdPsge thereupon quoted a. statement to the elfeot that since the Prohibition Act there was not the same respect for the oath. He, Mr. LoPage, thought the Prohibition Act" a perfectly good one." but main- tained that this Government had, been very lax in its enforcement. He quoted a statement by Rev. Mr. Baker at s. Sons of ‘temperance meeting. Claims ' ’ Drunkennees Evidence of drink in Charlotte- town “nevcr was so great as it was wt present." Mr. LePage declared. He quoted Mayor Kennedy as say- ing there were 43 “liquor dives" in Charlottetown. He could tell the Mayor there were 01 "registered ones", according to the R. c. M, P. records. He cited Police records showing increased arrests for drunk- enness. A Member: “That is the enforce- ment of the law." ‘The B. C. M. P., Mr. InPage main- tained, were "a great disappoint- ment to the masses of our people so far as law enforcement was con- cerned." "How many of those boot- leggers did they get in Charlotte- town last year?" he asked. "They will go after a man that steals, but they have no interest in a man that I don't believe they are interested at all in running down bootleggers." (mils Commission ‘flootleggea-s" The Prohibition Comminlon, he claimed, "were the biggest bootleg- gers in the land." Last year they sold $142,000 worth. of liquor under the pretense that it was for medical purpose. In i032 nearly 14,000 cases of beer were sold and last ysar the number was 10,046. A lot of this. he charged, had been purchased and resold by bootlsggcrs. It was "common knowledge that thoconductoragoodrnanycfthose B. 0. M. P. is not what it should be," he said.

Ho was glad that the Government had obtained a reduction in ea!‘ yen-y mics on automobiles. The Premier had been aenewue in ack- nowledging the assistance he had received from many quarters. This reduction was made polsible by rel- son of tbs new car ferry, he da- clued. lsPfllllmlstlc Notwithstanding the statement in the Throne Speech, h. could not 80H any evidence of returning prosper- lty. He knew it was harder this year than ever to collect any bills. He commended the Government for the emphasis in the Throne $Pe0¢11 to swine production. In horse rais- ing, he agreed with the Premier about the nssd or demonstrating decay in the Province was the man- ufacture of cheese. Dr. MacNeill said. He regretted to note signs that the farmers were going out of this business.

Grants to the Silver Fox Show, he recalled, had been established by thd present leader of the (Jimmi- tion. Rosuming the debate at last even- ing's session, Dr. McNelll referred to cow-testing operations and to Conservative criticism in former years that our cattle were being sold abroad. The reference in the Speech to the expectation of opening new markets for filhermen was inter- preted by Dr. hkNelll as indicating that the Conservatives no longer ‘believed in the cry “no truck nor trade with ths Yankees." H y. if armament-amen 11 ‘fnero were seven paragraphs in the Speech devoted to agriculture and only one to the fisheries, no said. He wondered why the Public Works Minister, who had "stolen some of the thunder" of the Agri- cultural Minlster, had not devoted solne of his time to the oyster in- dustry. The fishermen of the Grand, Trout and Bideford Rivers would like to have heard him. The speaker referred in a critical way to the oyster leasing , of the Dominion Government. “Big farm- ers and foxmen", he complained, were profiting at the expense of the man who could not afford to talks out adease. He cited objections raised to the leasing of areas by Mr. A. E. MacLearl, in the House of Commons. The explanation given by Hon. Mr. Duranleau at that time, Dr. MacNeill claimed, proved that the Provincial Conservative Govern- ment was responsible for the inaug- uration of the oyster leasing policy. He did. not believe the Premier knew what was going on, in connection with this matter. Premier MacMillan: "I know that it is the result of the agmerrrent which your government signed." - Dr. MacNelll maintained the leas- irlg system could not. go into effect until Clause 9 was agreed to. "You people agreed to it, but we didn't," he said. Continuing, he commended the tourist trade movement. ‘Che dust nuisance was a. bad drawback. Ha did not think anyone was “as much responsible for this nuisance as the Minister of Public Works,” and-lie claimed that the Minister "had buried good Liberal gravelled road: under six inches of clay." Dr. MacNeill had a. good word to say for the Provincial Demonstra- tion Library movement. He sug- gested that dictionaries shouldhbe made as cheap as possible for stu- dents. _ Dealing with the educational problem, he insisted that the vast maJorlty of our young people, B5901‘ receiving their education, must be prepared to go back on the 18nd. He understood the Premier took some credit for the establishment of the Public Health and Education Department. The Liberal Govern- ment, he said, had established this department, but they did not think it worth while appomtmz H M11115- ter at that time. The department was handed over as a 801118 00D- cern to the Conservatives. l-ie com- mended the t minister 1'01‘ having established a system of in- stilling a. solution of nitrate of sil- ver into the eyes of cvcry new-born babe.

Dr. MoNeill commended the dental hygiene campaign inaugurated un- der the auspices of the Health De- partment and deplored an apparent lack 0f Public interest in the cam‘ paign. . l-‘alconwood Appointee Ho recalled that after the death of Mr. Bonnell, bursar at. Falcon- wood Hospital, the Liberals had sp- pointed a dentist to the position with a. vie-w to benefitting the pati- ents. Tiris man, he complained, had been discharged by the ‘Conserva- tives and the position filled by a political appointee. Premier MacMillan: "Your ap- pointee was not there as a dentist. He was there as a politician too." Dr. McNelll: "No, sir absolutely." Hon. Mr. MacKenzle: Yes sir! A supporter of your own. He and all hi, fgmfly md all his rclatlvesl" (I-raifihter). - Dr. Msclieill commended His Honour Lieutenant Governor De- Blols for generous assistance given toward the building or the Provin- cial Sanatorium, also the Women's Institutes. d t m w Regret was expresse a e p - ing of the late Dr. V. L. Goodwill. The replaoeme ‘ of the Rocky Point ferry was commended. Ha suggested some place should be built where the farmers could keep their horses while waiting for the boat. Mr. D. P. Bethune: "There ls a place there now." DI‘. McNelll: "Is there? Well, that is fine." (Laughter and sp- plause). He commended the reconstruction of the east wing o1 Falconwood. but thought it "a. great pity" that fill west wing had been demolished. Ha was informed the Government ‘had spent $35,000 for an architect. The! ‘had a stack of blue prints "that high." But what have they got to show for it? Nothing at all," he said. The experts of the Mental Hygi- ene council had advised a big mil- lion dollar building, but it was s good thing the Government had paid attention to the delegation which p-otested against thine:- travsgance. .
