Currie, who showed ' conclusively that a return 01' the Liberal party to power meant nothing but starved public services and increased taxes. An attempt to heckle Mr. Currie reacted badly on Mr. 110F089. who received a double dose of the some medicine, and who loudly com- plained at having to take such treatment. A gentleman rose from the aud- ience and. drew the chairman's-at- tention to the fact that a Liberal "lieckler (whom he named) had started the trouble and was the cause of the whole disturbance. The audience loudly applauded. 1dr. LePage had nothing to say by‘ way of reply. The Premier also produ the repoitof the Board o: Audt re- ferred to in the Lea. communica- tion which stated explicably that the Board had no power to make Fsettlement, and that they did not consider they were in a position to make any recommendation WORTH WHILE " “$150,000 added to our subsidy in the years of Canada's worst de- pression-wasn‘t that something worth while." challenged the Pre- mier in referring to Conservative achievements. '1 MCLEAN COMES ' (continued from Page 1) the one preceding. the other fol- lowing, the government leader. Premier MacMllan, who, howev- er, in ten minutes rebuttal at the close, had the opportunity of straightening out the misstatements of both these gentlemen. which he did with telling effect. OORRECTS MACIEAN MIS- SIATEMENTS Mr. MocLean had claimed. as an argument against alleged gov- ernmental extravagance. that the interest on the debt was now 5358.000. “f would like to ask him,” said the Premier, "where he gets that figure. It is not contained in the Public Accounts cf this Prov- ince, and consequently l say the statement is not correct. The inter- est we paid at the end of Decem- y . » her was $220,000. When you take 1 fiom $220,000, you have a . mistake of Just $120,000. -'I‘he Premier then took up the subsidy claims question, reviewing the manner in which $10,000 o_f the $100,009 increase under Liberalrule ,_ had been received in a general re- distribution of subsidies, shared in by, all the Provinces.

He ought V) know it was tabled in the House of Commons at Ottawa, and it is public property. Mr._Saunders did not leave any of his correspond- ence with us at all." (Laughter and applause). ANSWERS LENS STATEMENT Answering the statement attrib- uted to Mr. Lea in last night's Pat- riot». the Premier said: "I doubt if that statement was written by MI- Lea. This refers to a presentation before the Audit Board on May 10, 1930. and we know that Prem- ier Saunders in January of that year presented a demand at Ottawa for an increase of $438,000. H"! while he was at Ottawa, Mr. Lea as Ailing Premier of this Province. with the assistance of Mr. J. 0. C. Campbell. presented another de- mand which was printed in the Patriot newspa, . asking for three and a quarter million dollars. Quite a difference between the two claims-but it didn't rnattcri they got nothing anyway." (Applause)- The Premier challenged the Lib- erals to show how they were g0- ing to make revenue and expendit- ure meet without crippling the public services or raising taxes. He showed that the Liberal debt increase in their last term was $1,- 117,000 and that they had failed. with all this expenditure, to im- plement their pledge to introduce Old Age Pensions. (Applause). The government. he continued. had been critici-"bd for spending money. “If we had not brought that money from Ottawa, we would have been very much worse off, and that is the very thing that they are condemning us for. How could we save it? We had to spend that money. We could not raise the price of farm products or fish- eries, but by road work, and work of that kind, we could give some work to those who needed it. A SPLENDID RECORD “In the last five years over a million dollars have come into this province direct from Ottawa. be- sides subsidy increase." he declared amid further applause. That sub- tsidy increase alone amounts to $150,000 annually. I1 we did‘ in- crease the debt by $955,000. we have improved the credit of th‘s Province $3,000,000 and we leave the prov- ince that much better off, He also dealt effectively with public health. and with the Con- servative platform in the present campaign. Scoring Liberal m’ tutements at the close of the meeting. the Pre- mier challenged Mr. Mclntyres claim that the Conservatives had ever said the Bennett Government v_1_a._s___ ying fifty per cent of the exper dertaken last fall. "When Mr. McIntyre tries to leave the impression that the Fal- eonwood wing was intended for a nurses home alone, he knows he is misetating the facts," the Prem- ier said. "Part of it was for a nurses home, part for an attend- ants‘ home, put for a laundry, poor; for vocation and recreational I ." us.

The Liberals, if elected on their platform of balancing the budget, will either have to cut down necessary public works or increase the taxes, Mr. Morrison predicted. I-lb also empha- sized the insinccrlty of the liberal pledge to abolish officials‘ Jiiotor cars. - HON. HEATH TRDNG "We secured the Government at a time when the depression struck this province with full force," Hon.

Mr. Baker had cited the overdraft of the first Stewart gov- ‘ernment but he forgot to mention that the overdraft left by the Bell administration was much larger. "They say we must reduce ex- penditure," continued Mr. Strong. Lea says ‘we are going to tighten up in the Department of Public works.‘ It was too loose be- fore. It was too broad-like Mr. Mc- Intyre himself. So Mr. Lea says he is going to tighten up on his belt. They are going to bring that de- pertinent, if elected, under control of the government. insLead of al- lowing it to be run by one man and the officials of the department. This Mr. Strong showed, amid ap- plause, was a poor compliment to Mr. Mulntyres ability as an econo- mist. “You all know the fine roads you have had in this district since the present government came in." Mr. Strong continued. “We only had one machine to do the ivork, and they are going to tighten up and take that away. The Brass will grow on the roads. There are plenty of byroads that have not yet been machined. It is impossible to do it with the machinery we have on hand at the present time. Yet these gentlemen say the yare go- ing to tighten up. ARE YOU IN rayon or‘ ALL THESE ROAD MACHINES BEING our‘ our AND WORK TAKEN AWAY FROM THE 4 PEOPE?" (The audience showed by their applause that they were not.) “Mr. Thane Campbell the other dBY boasted ‘We spent the money in good times.‘ Shouldn't he have Saved the money 1n 800d times, m be 506m 110w among the farmers, the laborers and the fishermen of this Province at a time when they need it?" (Applause). Mr. Strong, amid further ap- plause, referred to the Premier's achievement in bringing $150,009 increase federal subsidy mm the Province. This was contrasted with the Liberal unsuccessful efforts as shown in Mr. Saunders corres- pondence with Prime Minister Mac. Refills Kins, which he read to the amusement 0f the audience. - Ml‘- smm! oiso referred to the wmtarnigiiwuy ‘ protects-unr- reduction effected in car lungs fees and the reduction of gasoline Prices by 1 l-2 cents per gallon.

Then a vote for the Liberal Party is a votc to stop this hlrhwoy- They must intend to do it because they say it is loo ex. pensive." Mr. Strong declared drawing enthusiastic applause as he proceeded to show the advant- age to coming execution of this highway. . Dealing with Public Health Mr. Strong asked who among the Lib- eral candidates was qualified to fill the portfolio of this depart- merit? He instanced the splendid work done by Premier MiwMillan by both the health and education- al departments. Mr. C. C. Baker, the first Lib- eral candidate, criticised the Gov- ernment for allegedly spending $1,- 035,000 in its first three years more than the Saunders-Lea Govern- ment expended in their corres- ponding period, He also referred critically to Falconwood plans. The Liberals if elected were g0- ing to save one car for Mr. Mc- Intyre to use as Minister of Public Works, so that “he would not even have to ride s. bicycle." Increased expenditure at Prince of Wales College was criticised, al- so the Governmenvs taxation methods, winter roads policy, over- draft increase. trans-Canada high- way, It was not the unsrmyilcvirci, he maintained. who were getting the money out of the unemploy- ment projects.

Referring briefly to the Liberal platform and espec- ially to the plank that; revenue and expenditure must meet, Mr. MaoKenzle reminded the audience of what Mr. J. P. McIntyre had said when speaking while Minister of Public Works in the late Lib- eral Government. He bad said: "It is time to spread out and spend more money." Mr. J. H. McDonald the first Conservative candidate to speak received a splendid hearing and was warmly applauded. In begin- ning his speech he pointed out that this country has been carried through the depression just a little better than most other countries in the world and it. has been plans that due The Conservative candidates of the fourth district of Queen's, Maui's. A. H. MacDougall and J. Lawson Jenkins, were roundly ap- plauded last evening by a large audience that packed the hall at Eldon. His Worship Mayor Ken- nedy supported the Gvvin ment candidates while J. J. Larabee spoke on behalf of J. Walter Jones and Dougald MacKinnon, Liberal candidates. Painting a picture of blue ruin he conceived in his personal can- vass of the Belfast district Mr. J- Walter Jones. Liberal candidate. was taken to task by Mr. Mae- under a. Conservative Government. This Province is in just a little better position than the other Piovinoes and it also has had a Conservative Government. The opposition critics, said Mr. McDonald, have been making a great howl because the MaoMillan Government went behind in four verypooryearsin themidstof depreu-ion. But what about the late Liberal Government, _ that went behind in the four preceding p. ,. in years? If it had not been for the ability of the present Government things might have been very serious. Regarding the criticism by the Liberal candidates of the amount spent to provide water at lfslconiwotu Hospital from the City of Charlottetown supply Mr. McDonald pointed out that when the fire occurred there was no water to fight it. The first thing the present Gova-nment, which looks to the future, did was tolayawaminainfromthecity supply to the Hospital so that in case of future fires there would be water to fight it. Mr. Reid Underhay the second Conservative candidate to speak also received enthusiastic ap- plause. He referred to the amount the present Government saved in - running Iuilnoiiwood Hcqiital. The Liberal speaker claimed that .the late Liberal Government had had a surplus in the three ars but forgot to mention, he ted out, the amount they went behind. $500,000 in the last eight months they were in power. Mr. Wade Hughes who spoke first criticised the amount the Government went to provide water for Feloonwood Hoqiital. He claimed there was a tial surplus of ordinary revenue over ordinary expenditure under both the Lea and the Saunders Govern- meats. Mr. Geowe the second Liberal diitlcised the Borden Read, which he claimed was’ largely for the benefit of tourists, He also criticised Prince of Wales College. He did not think the Province neded so expensive a college. ‘rhere are 1000 children in the Province that are not even learning to read and write, he claimed. Mr. Wade Hughes spoke briefly in rebuttal. (Continued from Page 1) As some B00 Nazis descended on the Kurfuerstandamm, known as a throngs flocked to the thoroughfare from all over Berlin's west and.

His Wbrship Mayor Kennedy answered criticism as to the eon- structionohthe permanent high- way between Charlottetown and Borden, and pointed out that ex- penditures in the Department of Health were regulated by a five year contract entered into by the Lea Government. He exposed the Liberal system of charging gravel to capital account in order to bal- ance the budget, and pointed out that the debt might still be in- creased. Under the Liberals the average yearly cost of running Imloonwood was $118,000, under the Conservatives it was 887.100. Thus enough was saved in three years to run it on extra year free. Campbefi Makes (continued from Page 1) the audience seemedmatisfied that the questions were adequately discussed, The, candidates from Third and Fourth Kings oc- cupied most of the time. Hon. J. A. MacDonald and Mr. Thane Campbell were the two additional speakers. Mr. Martin MacKinnon capably acted as chairman, Lfr. I-I. I". hfhcPhee expressed his amusement at remarks cf Mr. J. A. Campbell who could not viecount for the Conservative expenditures. He reminded Mr. Campbell that the paved street in Montague was partially constructed by the ex- penditure of the government. Had the Southport Highway project been completely successful the per- manent highway to Bell's ‘Hill would now be under amstructlon. Mr. MacPhee said. The Southport Highway was being repaired free of cost to the government. Liberal investigation would be a.ii experiment which would par- take of the nature of the South- port Highway. The Government was now pay- ing the old age pensions which the Liberals had promised in 1927. For every 25 oents expended thus '15 cents were paid by the Federal Government. , Payment Made With reference to Mr. Hessianb statement regarding the payment of the subsidy, m. MacPhee said "I wish to tell my opponent that there is a. cheque in the treasury for $75,000. I don't know why my friend was so excited about it, The important thing is that the Gov- eminent made it possible to get the money." “If there was one man to whom credit should go for securing the subsidy it is the premier of this province." stated Mr. MacPhee. Mr. MacPhee remarked on the presence at the meeting of Mr. Thane Campbell. It was Mr. Campbell's solemn duty. he assert- ed, to explain why the Liberal leaders had betrayed the people of this province with regard to press- ing the subsidy claims. He quoted the letter of Hon. J. A. Robb to ex-Preinier Saunders, in which Mr. Robb had stated that at the request of the then premier he had refused to entertain represen- tations fiom the Conservative premiers of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. It was Mr. Campbell's duty to explain why the claims were not realized. Llhenl Pllllk Rlddled You can balance the budgets and still increase the debt, Mr. Mac- Phee said in discussing the Liberal platform. Charging to the capital account was the method which the Liberals used. The Ina-Saunders gov- ‘ for in ‘ had charged gravel and road machin- ery to mite-l account. Mr. ,I.ffer the House had closed had said balancing the, budget meant balancing on ordin- a-ry account. w. MacKinnon at Belfast had said the same thing. l1 claim that at m». IlacPhee asked.

Uri-conclusion of the speech, Mr. Hessian urged Mr. Campbell to sing gdGeelic song. Mr. Campbell refus- hear} Mr. M, N. McGowan Mr. McGowan in his address stated that the MacMillm Govern- ment had obtained almost $1,000,000 from the Dominion Government. The Liberals had received a goose- egg. When the Liberals were in power during good times they should have balanced the budget. Instead they went behind a million dollars, which was more than the Conservatives had no behind, irrespective of the reb ding of Prince of Wales Col- lege and Fhlconwood. The trouble in the Cuban potato market was due to the West mdies trade agreement negotiated by Mac- kenzie King. Ml‘. McGowan insisted. Mr. Mont Anneai- Mr. Mont Annear said he believed Liberal policies were better than Conservative policiu. He criticized the Government for purchasing road machinery. He gave credit for the webuilding of Prince of Wales and of the Falconwood East Wing. The better conditions in the Province. The speaker referred to the Conser- vative platform cf 1031. Mr. F. W.

The speaker reminded the audience that it cost almost as much to elect Mr. Thane Camp- belllnfisnun nstoieouud the Falconwood Hospital. It appeared that the Liberals, if they gained power. intended to put on the poll tax, Mr. Johnson stated. Mr. John Mustard Mr. John Mustard criticised the record of the Government.

Mr. Hessian tried to go overtime and was shut off by cries of "Sit Down," - Mr. Thane Campbell said at the beginning. of his speech that. the minority report of Chief Justice Mathieson showed that the achieve- ment. of the MacMillan Government was inadequate. In i034, the income $0.11 from Prince Edward Island was $311,000, he said, while under the Liberals it had been about $48,000. Mr. Campbell told how the Liberal platform had been constructed, and said that Mr. Hessian had a part in making it". Mr. MacPhee had defined a bah anced budgeirabout as well as it could be defined. "A balanced bud- get does not necessarily mean no increase in debt." Mr. Campbell said. , lie admitted that the only items charged to Capital Account should be those which would outline the debentures floated. Mr. Campbell remarked on addi- tional moneys recelved from Ottawa by the government. He wearled his hearers with lengthy quotations of figures in an endeavour to condemn the Government expenditures. Mr. Campbell estimated that the Borden Highway would cost $800,000. of which the Dominion Government would pay $268,000. Hon. John A. Madmnald referred to the fact that in the last election the Liberal poll of Montague North had given him splendid support. He remarked that Mt‘. Campbell had not done what he had set out to do, to explain the Liberal platform. Mr. MacDonald referred to the statement made by Mr. ‘Ihano Cflmpbell regarding the increase in. income tax. The impression he had given was that the tax-payers of this province had been forced to pay some two hundred thousand odd dollars additional. “Did not Mr. Campbell say that?" he asked. Messrs. Jack Annear and George Beck: "No." Ignoring this attempt to save the pro tem Liberal leader, Mr. Mac- Donald sald incisively: "This in- crease was paid by companies not doing a bit of business in Prince Edward Island. Not one extra dol- lar was paid by taxpayers of Prince Edward Island, Referring to explanations advan- ced as to the meaning of a balanced budget Mr. MacDonald said: “Mr. Campbell agreed with Mr. MaePhee and thereby discredited Mr. Hes- an. Defending governmental expendi- tures, Mr. MacDonald stated that expenditures in Prince Edward Is- land could not be curtailed if money were to be received from Ottawa. Mr. Bennett's promise was to con- nect Charlottetown and Borden by trans-Canada Highway, which was a grog/cl highway, Mr. MacDonald sai . Mr. Jack Annear attempted to in- terrupt. ‘Do you want to talk? Come HP on the platform here." Mr. Annear did not come forward. It was unfair to compare expend- itures made in hard times with those made in good times. Mr. Mac- Donald maintained. Apparently the opposition knew nothing about the Cuban market question, Mr. MacDonald stated.
