A fitting tribute to the late Pre- mier Stewart was paid by the next speaker, Mr. W. Chester S. McLure. MR, who also was received with en- thusiastic applause. I-Ie expressed his pleasure at the privilege of addres- sing such a splendid annual meeting of Queen's County Conservative As- sociation and thanked all present for the wholehearted support which he had received at the last federal election. Mr. McLure then extended heartl- est congratulations to Premier Mac- Millsn, with whom lie had been long ‘and intimately associated in public life. Continuing, Mr. McLure gave con- vincing-evfdence of Canada's econo- mic recovery » under the Bennett Government policies. Statistics prov- ed conclusively that trade in Canada had greatly improved, that employ- ment conditions were being remed- ied and that railway loadings had increased. Be also cited the rise of the Canadian dollar in the Ameri- can market, which has lifted the bilrden of the interest charges Csaads has had to pay in New Yolk. Isvorable factors Two outstanding conditions which had elected improved conditions in Canada were emphasized. The first of than was the spirit of the people themselves.

On the oth- er hand. the disgust of the Liberal press with their own federal party leader was shown by the speaker, who cited a castlgatlon deliv- ered by the (Liberal) Vancouver Sun. in an editorial denouncing Mr. K108 ln the strongest possible terms. , With regard to the new party, m" CO-Operative Commonweslth Federation, Mr. McLllre thought it was sufficient to say that its birth- Dlace was Moscow. This party may not be Red itself, but it is decidedly “Dlnk": and therefore he did not think it was likely to make any ap- peal to the people of this seciiun oi Canada. (Applause). The speaker showed products, Answers Argument The common argument that United States was "our best mar- ket" was then replied to by the speaker. This conception was based a on the fact that United States was ‘our nearest neighbor. But with the possible exception of good Prince Edward Island potatoes was there, Two Great Problems Mr. McLure then dealt b1... ,. v.l.l. what he termed Canada's two great- est problems, namely, unemployment and railway financing. He showed that unemployment, as far back as 1021, was a serious problem in Cape Breton and in Western Canada. At that time the Government spent 06.000000 for food and olothingfor the unemployed. The policy of tile Liberal party since 1922 has been that unemployment relief is not a. federal obligation and this attitude was maintained throughout Mr. Mackenzie King's regime. When in 1030, delegations applied to Ottawa for relief, they were told that the Provinces were responsible and that there was "not one five cent piece" in the federal treasury for the un- employed of Canada. ‘This attitude the speaker contrastedwith the as- surance given by Premier Bennett that so long as there was any money in the treasury not one Canadian citizen would go cold or hungry. The disastrous immigration policy of the late Liberal Government. bringing hundreds of thousands of foreigners into the country and Last wmm-l ML Myers convmued, forcinga million Canadians to leave every number o; the House o; it for the United States, was also Commons recelved a letter- 1mm referred to‘ the president of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, urging the necessity of balancing the budget by drastic reduction of expenditure. Mr. ivIyers had answered the pres- ident's letter, thanking him for the advice, but politely pointing out that it should. have been given ten years ago, when conditions were favorable to the saving of public money- farm product which was not pro- duced in United States? On the other hand there were many farm products produced in the United States which are not produced ln Canada. He pointed out that the countervailing duties under the Dunning Budget failed to take this fact into consideration and consequently were valueless to our farmers. Mr. Myers then reviewed the persuading the British people of the advantage of Imperial prefer- ential tariff policies. He pointed out the difficulties which this pro- posal met with at the hands of British Labor Government and the subsequent reversal of opinion which brought the National Gov- ernment into being and achieved the succcs of the grout/Imperial Economic Conference at Ottawa last year. Fair To All "We have endeavored to place the employment money where it will ef- fact the most relief," he continued. -“No_ man who applies for work is asked whether he is a. Grit or Tory. If he needs the work and there is employment to be given, he will get it, regardless of politics and regard- less of every other consideration." (Loud applause). ‘ A brief review of the railway sit- uation was then given by the speak- er who showed how political ex- travagances in the past had enorm- ously increased the taxpayers‘ bur- den toduy. During the seven years of Liberal regime, he declared, Can- ada expended $912,000,000 for rail- way expansion alone, and, the Lib- erals raised the money by mortgag- ing Canada. in the United States. The result 1s that we are compelled to pay annually, in United States money, nearly $00,000,000. One high railway official under Liberal rule, Mr. McLure continued, received a. salary of $150,000 annu- ally; another official who acted as a link between the railway and the Liberal political machine received 862,000 a year; another official $25,- 000. A stenographer received a sal- ary oi’ $22,000: “And that's a pretty good salary for any stencgrapllerl" added the speaker amid laughter. He cited other instances including that of sipoliceman who received a salary of 015,000 besides his own private car and expenses. The head officials of the railway had their club dues paid at s. cost of $110,000 annually to the taxpayers. These high salaries have been greatly reduced under the Bennett Administration, and many of the costly positions have been abolished altogether. All salaries over $10,000, with four exceptions, have been re- duced to $6,000. A saving of $1,000,- 000 was made in this item alone. Other railway savings, including re~ ductlon of travelling expenses, col- onization costs, etc, netted in 1981- 32 a saving to the taxpayers of 010,- 000,000. In conclusion, the speaker declar- ed that uncler the sound and econo- mlc administration of the Bennett Government there was no doubt Canada was emerging on the hill!- way of prOSPWli-Y Ind DWI"!!- A Challenge to (‘riff-s Mr. IVLvers challenged the critics of government expenditure to say where further economies could be made. He quoted Hon. E. N. Rhodes, Finance Minister, as point- ting out that reductions had al- ready been macle to the extent of $67,000,000 and a further cut of $14,000,000 was provided for in the budget. Theredlad also been a big reduction in the salaries cf Gov- ernment employees. The necessity of making every effort to balance the budget, Mr. Myers explained, lvas responsible for the sugar tax and other duties against which there had been com- plaint, but which were absolutely necessary in view of the heavy fix- ed charges upon the treasury. The benefit of the federal em- ployment relief was referred to. "They are passing the ha-t in the section where I live," said lvlr. Myers, “for the people of Sask- atchewarl, and I am glad we are in a position to do so. If it was necessary for our farmers to pass the hat for the unemployed of Charlottetown I am sure the re- sponse would be equally prompt. Every one wants to see our needy unemployed taken care of." The lest few years have been the hardest 1n his experience in pub- iic life, Mr. Myers said. l-lc regret- ted that he and his colleagues could not meet the requests of ev- ery supporter- But, he pointed out, the‘ requirements of the Province hadtobe metwith aneyeto drastic federal economy, and the Prime Minister's fir-m attitude in this connection was one which must be respected, as it was un- doubtedly iri the best interests of Canada.

E's passing in the prime of life is a severe loss to this Prov- ince and to the country as" a whoie particularly to the Coil .al;v; Party. Tributes and Sympathy Premier Stewart was a strenuous worker and a great leader, ever time and energy in the service of his country. We mourn his death and we shall miss his wise counsel and guidance at our gatherings very much indeed. However, he has but travelled on c. road that we shall all have ct travel on sooner or later and in the meantime let us honour his memory by using our time and whatever little talents we may posssess in trying as he did to make this community and world a better place for having lived in it. Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to Mrs. Stewart and her family in their great sorrow and bereave- ment. v As we look around this hall fo- night we also miss the familiar fac- es of many of our old friends and staunch supporters of the Conserv- iiiivv Cause. who shoe we last met together have answered the final summons. I am thinking particul- arly of the late Honourable Donald Nicholson, Arthur A. Alley, Leonard M. NfcNelli, W. H. Hogan. A. A. Pomeroy and Jerome McGulgan. men of fine character and. of gen- uine kliidllncss, beloved by all those who were privileged to know them and mourned by the whole com- munity which they served so filth- fully and well. These men belong to that typo of cltzen that makes for the up-buildlng of a country materially and morally. I am sure the happy associations we have enjoyed with them in our work together and the memory of their warm friendship will ever remain with us a cherished and prised possession. In bidding them fare- well truly may we say of each of them in the words of the writer of old,- “A friend lo truth, of soul sincere. In action faithful. and in honour clear; Who broke no promise, served- no private end. _ Who gained m title, and who lost no friend, Ennisoled by himself. by all approv- ed. Praised, wept, and honoured by the friends he loved." The New Premier I know you. will all Join with me in extending happy fellcltatlons and congratulations to ollr new Leader and Premier oi’ this Province, the Honourable Dr. W. J. P. Msclviill- lan, whose outstanding ability and scholarship is well known to the ileopie 0f Prince Edward Island. Tho life of a Premier is not an easy one. It calls for great sacri- fice of personal interests, but Dr. MacMillan has always been ready to respond to the call of duty and to give of his best for the advance- ment snd welfare of the ‘people of this Province. As Minister oi Health and Edu- cation Dr. MadMillan has rendered services of ‘ tunable value in advancing the cause of health and education throughout the length and breadth oi’ this Hovlnce and I say, Ladies and Gentlemen, it is s fortunate thing that we have a rnsn oi’ thc caliber of Dr. Miacmdillan. who is willing to devote so much of his time in the public service. The salary attached to the office he holds is small, compared with the revenue he would receive if ho devoted his entire time to the ex- ienslve medical practice his ability would command.

Where would we be today if we" ~ ' did not have the Empire markets to ‘ trade with? Look up the shipping records and read for yourselves the figures showing the large quantifica- oi bacon, fish, lumbe, and ctllef commodities that Canada is shipping to the British markets. While the prices are not as high as we would r like to see them, we must remember, that they are e. great deal higher than we would be receiving if these markets were not opened to us. Now that the Government has, opened up the way for lncreued trade it behooves the business men of Canada and the shippers of this Province to follow the acllice of I Honourable HJ-l.

But that is not the whole story.

When Uncle Sam has the boldness to say we don't want your potatoes so we are going to in- crease the duty from thirty cents a bushel to forty-five cents a bushel. would you be willing to sit back and do nothing? That is exactly what Mr. Mackenzie King did when this increase became effective a few years ago. But mark you that is not the way Mr. Bennett does busi- ness.
