Mr. McIntyre: "That would be paid if you nevel- asked for it.” Premier MccMillan: "Lei. me re- mind my hon. friend that the op- portunity of asking for ll, sud of gelling it. luy there for some years. and the Liberal party In this Pra- vlnce was silent on the question.

' Continuing, the Premier sold that when thc Duncan Commission wss appointed the claims of the Morl- tlrnc Provinces had been present- ed by three Conservative govern- ments. the result being s. recom- mendation for an interim subsidy increase of $125,000 for this Pro- vince.

Yet, according to their own statements, those were the moat prosperous" years in the history of Canada!" It had been argued, continued the Premier. that the Liberal sdminlo- trstion had failed because the other Maritime Provinces would not co- operate with them in pressing our claims. All that the other Maritime Premiere did was refuse to present rm "ideal budget" before the Audit Board. "I could show them why they fell down," he added. "I could show where there was no co-oper- ation and who it was that decided to play a lone hsndl" Mr. King's Testimony The “unklndest cut of all" came, the Premier said, when Prinwr Min- ister Mackenzie King rose to his feet in the House of Commons and said that if Maritime claim; had not been settled. it was probably due to thn fact that no request had been made tn lmvc them settled."

"Whst pro- Gfesii." he asked, Liberal administration made in these directions?" He acknowledg- ed receiving assistance from many individuals, including the lion. member from Summer-side, also from the Boards of Trade and press. Fmm the relief problem stand- point, the present winter has been the most difflcult, the Premier con- tinued. More calls are being made for relief than ever before. The Government is cndeavoring to in- vestigate every claim and to give whatever help is possible, mnllhllsls was placed on the fact that 0V8!‘ $400.000 arrears of taxes, Iii-TEE]? 0f land tax, are on the books. He believed the large up. rrnragc in lsnd tax was due in some measure to the manner of forming in many districts. Nature intruded that the farm should af- ford a. livelihood. but attempting to make fortunes by farming pso- cesses which oontsined m element 01 Rambling was not natural and i experience mu proved that it was not a. safe course to follow. The Pmmier approved of Mr. Lee's statement that livestock, dsirying and poultry fermin? was the most satisfactory system. The records showed it wee the live. stock fanning sections that were paying up their land tax. Our farm- ers generally would do well to fol- low the gospel preached here over thirty years Ego by the late m. Bnbertson, to whom the dairy in. dustry of the Province is so deeply indebted. The Government, continued the Premier, is endesvoring to stress the livestock farming possibilities. He pointed out that in the matter of dairy products we have an ex- cellent market right at our door. in the Province of Nova Scotia. Potato Growers‘ Ass'n Thr Opposition leader had com- mended the work of the Potato Growers Association. This Govern- ment. said the Premier, has eu- deavored to give every assistance it reasonably could to that organiza- tion. Somr. time ago, the Associa- tion came to the Government and asked them to guarantee their loss- incurred last year." We did not athst." added the Premier. “why? cause those losses were not all due to frost. If the Association had lived up to its own bylaws. if they had conducted their business in a business-like way, they would have had working capital enough to look after any emergency. In that year when potatoes were $3.25. what was the sense of disbursing the mem- brrship fees and the initiation hes, and the ordinary profits on top of societions by-laws in this connec- tion.) “Is this Government going to ask the general taxpayer of this Province to malm good their defl- ciency and pay for the lose of 1.200 or 1.400 potato growers? I note that commit himself on it, as to whether we did right or wrong; but we felt,- acting in the lntcmsts of the tax- payers (gpthc Province. that we could not do it. "What we did was this. The As- sociation was bankrupt, u it were. Their fertilizer was on the ocean. and somebody had to tske charge of it. The Bank wouldn't take charge of it; so the Government had t0 come to their rescue to the extent of guaranteeing their business up to the amount of 010.000 or 000.000 so that the members cf the Associa- tion and others might get their fertiliser without paying exhorbi- u , d Geelallcu b business we had 13.1.... n no was ans-In dealer.

He recalled that the general experience of Governments, even 1n smaller transactions of this kind, had not been satisfactory to the acumen. llllnfl Illmhig lmphaslfil Oin the other hand, the Premier emphasized that the Department of Agriculture has been endesvoriug to bring home the lesson of hep- irp the fertility of the lend, which cannot be done by potato growing on sn extensive scale. lihnphasls on economy in feeding of livestock was one way in which the Government could be of as- sistance to the farmer. He reibrrcd also to other educetionsl policies which the Department W25 follow- ing. in the way of short courses. meetings in outlying districts, jun- ior livestock clubs. and encourage- ment of domestic ‘nce. dairy organizations, exhibitions and school fslre. It was also the intention, during the coming season, to pro- vide for the establishment of -cow sheep and swine breeding clubs, and in other wsya to bring more closely to tlm farming communities the services of the Department. Throughout the Government's programme runs the leading idea of stressing livestock production B5 the backbone of agri- culture in this Province. In this connection the Premier commend- ed the Charlottetown Driving Club as one means to an end which Wis desirable, namely, the encourage- ment of horse raising. He referred also to the Government's decision to appoint an official in connection with oow testing regulations, es had men asked for by our live- stock organizations. ‘The TB. tests among cattle will be conducted this summer. Marketing Board The Premier then dealt with the appointment of the ‘ Marketing Board under the Dominion Market-- lng not. There had been absolutely no "politics" in thy: app- intmcnt of the provincial. board. On the con- trary, an effort had been made to obtain the most suitable men, re- gardless of political affiliation. The Government had asked Mr. Brad- shaw, of Summer-side "who was not a Conservative," to take a. position on the Board and w. Bradshaw had replied, regretting that he could not do so but mmending the pm- iect and expressing his interest. The " appointed were all men of experience and repute. The Premier was not prepared to pass judgment on the Board or on the regulations under the potato mark- cting scheme adopted by the four eastern Provinces jointly; but he felt sure that some gocd would come of their efforts. Indeed. had the Board. lrrren in existence a year ago. he suggested 1t might have mat- erlaly benefited our potato pro- ducers. Farmers’ Creditors Arrangement Act Tlu Government had made every endeavour to get the Tanners‘ Creditors’ Arrangement Act oper- ative in this province. The Prem- ier's information was that the act ‘W85 working well wherever it had ‘been given a fair trial. The general experience is thst the Board of Review-which is the court of ap- peal under the Act-hes not had to function in many cases, and that through amicable arrangements n. great rical of good has resulted. Mr. LePcgc: "What is the ex- ‘nnt of the applications in this Province. might I es ." Premier MacMillcri: "we have not exact information. but I think it is between 200 and 300. I did no- tice that there were very few ap- ‘plicatlms from the other Mari- . tlmn Provinces: but I know that we have many applications from this Province and I hope it will help our fanners out of thr- diffi- culties which surround thcm.

The Fishery Industry With regard to thc fishery in- dustry, the Premier said he had made representations. when at 0t- tewa. to obtain assistant! in fin- ancing the fishermen in bostbuild- ing. He had been informed that this was a provincial undertaking and that only in one province had it been instituted. When the news was announced of negotiations regarding a recipro- cal trade agreement between Cen- sda. and United States, the Govern- ment had forwarded to the Cana- dian representative ct Washington ,a request to have fish. ls well as furs, potatoes and turnips,’ includ- fed in any such WI ‘ The hope that through these negoti- ations wider marlmts for Island fish and farm products would be obtained, was one in which all our icltisens shared.

IDXATION The fact that all the schools mhmllzhout the Province were in ‘operation last yesr showed the in- terest which our people are taking W0- "! mmv years the western Provinces offered big sale-rice to school teachers, and many of our Island teachers were tempted in Vremove ‘to the west. 1t was at the ,ell'pense of the Eastern Provinces, ‘through Dominion financial assist- ‘anoe, the-t these higher salmon were being paid. All the privileges ‘that the West enjoys have been at the expense of the Maritime Pro- vinces; we have been paying for their extravagance. v Mr. McIntyre: "Their damnab‘ extra ." Premier MscMillan: “You might call it their damnable extrava- gnnce.” Continuing. he reviewed the pro- gress made in the Provincial Lib- rary Demonstration inaugurated with the assistance of the Carnegie libundutlon, particularly empha- sizing the educati l possibilities involved, The initial Carnegie grant of $00,000 had been supplemented this year by a. cheque for $10,000 and fin-them assistance would be received. However, we will be ex- pected eventually to assume the responsibility of carrying on the library work. This wfls a. matter which the. Premier commended to the consideration q: the House and of the country. Agricultural Training Agricultural training s!- Prince of Wales College was then dlscursedAs noted in the Throne Speech. it is apparent the curriculum requires revision in order to provide more specificinstruction for those stu- dnts desirous of making sgrlcult- ure their life work. and it is pro- ‘poserl that the necessary steps in this direction will be taken st an eerly dale. If the demand ‘can be developed for more specific agri- cultural training. there is no rea- son why a ‘course could not be pro- vided. over and above the short courses which the government has been carrying on. Music Training Grant Music training in the schools was a. matlnr which was being given‘ more consideration in other pro- winoes, and when the Ilstirnates were introduced it we; the Pre- mier's intention to propose s. small lgrent for this purpose. The subject, hr: emphasized, was an important one from a cultural standpoint. Reference was also made to the campaign of Dr. Harry Thomson, of the Dentsl Hygiene Council, in the interests of dental health of school children. The Pmmlcr was more than convinced, from his ex- perience as a, medical practitioner, that e great many diseases are caused by defective teeth. In the present campaign. which is under the auspices of the Provincial De- partment of Health. stress is being laid on the fact that the people themselves must bear the major part of the cost. The Government cannot afford to bee; the whole cost. in view of its many other public health responsibilities. "We have trouble enough now in this connection," the Premier add- ed, "with the Provincial Senator- lum. We raised the appropriation from $12,000 to 018.000 a year. and that is not enough.” He referred to the many appeals which arc being made for free admission to the Sanatorium. and to the fcci that the institution's financial dif- ficulties are increasing. He pointed out thst it is not the Health Do‘ mission. which has charge of this institution. Women's Institutes Commended The work of tho Women's 1h- stituws was warmly aided. The Dominion convention of the Institute merits this year in Char- lottetown, and the delegates will be assured of a cordial Incltbvntally. the convention should help~fc advertise the Province in a very favorable way. Commenting on some personal remarks of the Opposition leader. the Premier suggested that Mr. ‘lea was carrying too long in his mem- ory wbat may have been said the heat of an election campaign. He was also forgetting that some- times remcrks may bc misquoted. Mr. ‘bee. had taken credit for gov- ernment expenditures in 1928-30 for orphanages. hospitals, Red Cross. dispensary and pauper grants. contrasting these years with the years 1924-38. The Premier re- called. however, Hist during the days of the Bell Government, (of which Mr. Lea was a leading mem- her) appeals had been made in vein on behalf of the Md Cross society and the Children's Aid 8o- ciety. Valuable es was m. us’! work done in livestock encourage- ment at Poloonwood Farm. lhe speaker believed that public health was of even more importance. The first grants lo hoepltalal and cr- , were from a Conservative Government 1n this Province. These increased under the Stewart Gov- ernment and again under the prel- cnl administration.

Premier Mach/Kilian: "I was rc- ferring to the discovery by the cx- Mlnisfcr of Public Works." The Premier corrected a. stole- ment of the Fpposition leader that pert of the Liberal expenditure was due to “the disgraceful condition of the roads" left by the first Stew- art Government. The statement, he said, had no foundation in fact. Mr. McIntyre: “The hon. mem- ber himself, when I came in, ed- mitted that hi’. was sorry for the Minister of Public Works and sold he would have a herd job." Premier MeeMlllnn: "Yes; and I am still sorry m you." (Laugh- for). An Increased lbbility of $548,000 In the last eight months of their regime was the sorry record of the late Liberal Government. continued the Premier. This was the record that Mr. Ice. had gone to the oountryon in the last election campaign, and he cnfinot get sway from it by criticising the road conditions existing‘ when he took office four year; previously. It had been charged by Mr. Les that I. “perfectly good road hed. been scrapped" at Borden in order to construct the concrete highway. This contention he rcfufrd. The highway in question. which was nearly two miles in length. had been constructed entirely at the ex- pense of the Dominion government. Trans-Canada. Highway with regard in the trans-Canada highway project between Charlotte- town and Borden, started last sum- meg, criticism hsd been made be- cause the Dominion was not p60’- lng the full cost. "I may say quite frankly," replied the Premier. ‘T1181? we could have got c road from Mr. Bennett that the lfimlnlon would have paid for-s. road in keepinfl with the trans-Canada. highway in other provinces-but we would not take it. The trons-Canada highway is a rock bottom with gravel top. For c. blthulithic concrete hlzhway this Province is paying its proportion of cost. but we consider it well worth while in view of the value of such e. roud to our tourist trade and to the Province generally." The Pre- mier cited the difficulties experi- enced with gravelled roads in No- va. Sootis. end said the Govern- ment's decisic not to accept this type of road had been made with due regard to allithe circumstances. In answer to a question by Mr. '1‘. A. Campbell, the Premier stat- ed the bithulithic pavement is costing $11.00!) per mile. the Domin- ion Government's contribution 12- ing $500 per mile. The Dominion Government is also assisting financially in the ex- perimental. mixed-in-plaoe and send-heated. asphsltic work on vino: which was begun lest year. Should this type of pavement prove cspsblc of withstanding our cli- mate and soil conditions, it will be the policy to continue it on our more important roads, as finances permit.

Falconwood Hospital The renovation of the old In- firmary at hlcogwood. completed during the year, had. been done un- der the cspcbk supervision of Mr. Albert Baker. Other improvements at Fclconwood were outlined by the Premier. The problem of caring for the mentally ill. he said, is by no in means solved. The situation will never be satisfactory until we navel a convalescent wing. where the patients showing evidence of re- covery may be given s. chance of rccciv‘ , proper treatment.
