The same treatment was reques- ted for imperial soldiers who came to Canada prior to 1930. Of this last recommendation the Minister said it was “the acme of imperial jiiigoirm." There was no reason imperial veterans who came w Canada. since the war should be treated differently than born Can- adians who were unemployed. With respect to the first recom- mendation Mojor Power said it would not apply in larger cities where relief rates were high. ‘ The commission estimated the cost at $1,000,000 a year and sug- gested it be only tempomry- I'M Minister said it would be difficult to end, once started, and the cost would reach nearer $10,000,000 an- nually.

"Long experience in dealing with the returned soldier problem I think has taught all of us here that Once the door is opened there is n0 closing it," said the Minister. "Does anybody believe that the cx-soldlers in Toronto. Winnipeg and Calgary and in other cities would not say ‘what am I going to get out. o! this?’ Immediately there would be reiterated demands ex- tremely difficult of refusal by pol- iticiarts, that all soldiers of the country be made wards of the Fed- eral Government. “Again I repeat that as yet this principle has not been accepted by any government.

Answer: "I have received a pet- ition from the Women's Institute of Sea View and I have consulted with the engineers and asked them to look into the matter and it will be taken later into consider- atlon." Q. (1) Has a petition been re- ceived from residents of Clifton, New London and surrounding sec- tions asking that the road leading from Clifton to Summerfield (lmown as Graham's Road) be made an improved highway dur- ing the coming summer or as soon as convenient?" Ans; “The same answer apply to this question." ‘Mr. Mustard: “I will ask the Minister of Agriculture if the de- partment is entering into arrange- ments for securing a. stallion for services in this province for th comng year." ' H011. Mr. Dennis: "Yes." Mr. Jones gave notice that he will ask the Premier or Minister of Health if the Government will tnkc action on the recent request of the Women's Institutes with respect to: 1. Marking schools for protec- tion against highway motor traf- fie. 2. Arranging a medical examin- ation to prevent the spread ofso- cial diseases. 3. Is any work being done out- side of Charlottetown for the treatment of social diseases. Mr. Jones gave notice that to- morrow he will ask the Minister of Education: 1. If arrangement has been madc between Prince of Wales College and MacDonald Collegems announced in the Charlottetown Patriot, Sept. 22, 1936, whereby a course of study on agriculture will be begun in 1936 at Prince of \V:11es College. 2.

In pursuance of notice Premier Campbell introduced The Registry Act and an Act to amend the In. surancc Act, ‘which were given first reading. Mr. ‘Frninor submitted the re- port of the committee to receive trndcrs for printing and binding journals. will Division Fence Act On motion of Hon. Mr. Dennis the House went into committee with Mr. Stcurart in the chair on the Division Fence Act_ The promoter explained that the bill was a. consolidation of the present Act and amendments thcrcio. A few minor changes were being introduced on the rec- ommendation of the agricultural committee. Sec. 2 of the bill provides that the height of line fences shall be four and a half fcct. Aftcr 0. good deal of discussion, an am- endment reducing the height to four feet was defeated 5-12 and the original section carried on the same division. Sec. 7 was amended after dis- cussion to include barbed wireline fences, but only by mutual con- sent of adjoining property own- ers, which consent would be bind- ing on subsequent owners. Sec. 9 provides for payment of fence viewers at the rate of one dollar a day, to be paid equallyby adj0ii1ing_owners or occupiers, and for n. penalty of five dollars a day for neglect of duties. Mr. Savillc protested‘ that the amount was altogether too small. "I wonder," he said, "what those gentlemen who administer the Farmers Creditors’ Act would say to such a rntc of remuneration." Mr. Mclsuac snid that in his ten 1.19am’ experience as fence viewer he rcccivcd just one dollar for his services, nnd that was just enough to pay his dog tax. He thought the fence payment. should be 05 a day, with a fine of one dollar a dlty for neglect of duty. Premier Campbell thought the payment should be the some as witness fees-W a day and mile- age one way. The section, after further discussion, was amended in accord with this suggestion. On motion of Mr. Hughes the foliowlng section ivus added to the bill: "When land is surrounded on Prohibition Act‘ Finally Passes Committee Stage‘ Bill Agreed ThWh Amendments‘ Including Additional Section In- tended To Safeguard Validity Of Dominion Prohibitory Regulat- ionAffectinglsiquorWarehouses all sides by improved, cultivated or enclosed pasture lands, the lands so enclosed shall be considered as improved, cultivated or enclosed pasture lands for the purpose of this Act," The bill was reported agreed to Prohibition Act On motion of Premier Campbell the House resumed committee reading with Mr. Stewart in the chair on the Prohibition Act. See. 40, providing that “nothing herein contained shall preventany brewer, distiller or other person duly licensed by the Government of Canada." efc. from “keeping or having liquor manufactured by him in any building wherein such manufacture is carried on, provid- ed such building does not contra- vene the provisions of sec. 41 hereof or from selling liquor there- from to a. person in another pro- vince where such sale may belaw- fully made or in a foreign coun- try or to a. wholesale vendor un- der this Act." Premier Campbell: “I may say that there has apparently been something of n. surprise to mem- bers of this committee as well as the press and public that ourPro- hibttion Act contains certain clauses permitting brewemdlstillers, ware- htusemen and other manufactur- ers of alcoholic liquors to carry on their manufactures in this prov- ince and to store liquor for ‘the purpose of export only. The rea- son for the inclusion of those clauses in the Act is simply to protect the validity of the Act and limit the jurisdiction oi’ the Pro- vincial Legislature; because ft was thought, and in fact was held by the Supreme Court of the prov- ince that if the Provincial Legis- lature passed an Act prohibiting the possession of _ liquors, they would, by implication, unless some definite exceptions were introduc- ed, prohibit: interprovinclal trade. So for that reason a. considerable number of clauses. of which we have reserved consideration-sec- tions 40. 41. 65. B8 and HIE-were introduced to make it clear that this Act was not intended to in- terfere with interprovincial trade, and brewers, distillers, manufact- urers, and warehouseme might under certain conditions manu- facture or keep liquor within the province if it was clearly intended only for export to other provinces‘ of Canada. This situation held for some time. until 1922, when it was brought to the attention of the Legislature that the provisions of the Canada Temperance Act Drovlded for the calling of apleb- iscite, and that on the passing of the plebiscite the Dominion Gov- ernment might prohibit the im- portation of liquor into the prov- ince. On the 24th of April, i922, a. resolution was moved by Hon. John H. Bell. leader of theHouse, seconded by Hon. George E. Hugh- ES. requesting the Dominion Gov- ernment to take a plebisc inths province on the questio. of the import into the province of intox- icating liquors. That plebiscite was taken by the Dominion Govern- ment oii the 29th of January, 1928, and the votes at that time in the affirmative were 9,685, and in the negative 3,576. Pursuant to that a proclamation was issued by the Dominion Government which de- clared that ‘the keeping of intox- icating llquor in the province of Prince Edward Island for export, and the exportation of intoxicat- ing liquor therefrom by persons other than brewers and distiller-s duly licensed by the Government of Canada shall be and the 51mg is hereby forbidden from and af- ter the 31st day of August, 1923,’ That became the law of the prov- incc by virtue of a proclamation of the Govemor-Genersl-in-Coim- cil. All that this province could and did do was to request the Dominion Government to hold a plebiscite. You will notice that there is still the exception of brewers and dlstillers licensed by the Government of Canada. Ap- parently they may still manufac- ture beers or spirits in this prov- ince for export only, to other pug, of Canada and the world. But by this Act the importation and ex. portation of any other liquor into or out of the province is prob“)- itcd by this proclamation. Itseems to me that it would be clsngero for us to omit from the Prohibit- ion Act any of the sections w which I have referred. The Sup- reme Court of this province has given judgment which by implica- tion makes necessary the presence of some such provision in our Act. In order to make it doubly clear that there is no change or addit- ional latitude intended to be con- ferred on such operators. I would ' move that the following sections pass as they are-sections 40, 11, 45. 85, 88 and 102, and that the following be inserted l8 section "All sections of this Act dealing with the legality of brewerlu. dil- tillerles. bonded msnuflctuterusx- port warehouses,’ and intervenin- cial transactions and particularly (but without restricting the gou- erality hereof) the following osc- tions. namely. sections ll, 41. 45 (subsections l, 2, and S) 85. M. 182. shall be reul and construed merely u . ntinulng the luv!

"I move that as section 165." Mr. Wright said he had readin The Guardian today the letter that. appeared yesterday by Mr. W. E. Bentley, K.C_. Mr. Bentley had long been associated with the Prohibition Act. rile had made the statement that the clauses refer- red to were absolutely unneces- sary. . Premier Campbell: “Not all of them. Just the ones about export." Mr. Wright: “I would like an explanation from the Premier as to why he does not agree with Mr. Bentley in that regard. There are other things I do not understand. The Premier referred to the fact that there was an exception made with regard to brewers and dis- tillers. Do I understand that they are permitted to operate notwith- standing any law we may make?" Premier Campbell: "I take it that is the effect, if manufactured solely for export, and kept in warehouses, free from any prov- incial contact." Mr. Wright: “Have we not pow- er to prohibit the manufacture of beer and wines 1n this province?" Premier Campbell: "No. I may say that since the committee rose yesterday I had an opportunity of spending a considerable time with Mr. Bentley, whose views on the subject are entitled to considerable deference owing to the fact that he drafted the original Act and was familiar with the amendments which were made. I don’t say that I don't agree with his view... He may be right; But I think wc could preserve an abundance of precautions by including the sec- tions. His suggestion that some of the scctionsmlght be eliminat- ed did not refer to the brewers or distlllers at allf only to the export warehouses. I think the simplest thing is to retain them all," Mr. Savillc: "The wolf is still Ln the Act, but. he is pretty well caged. I have confidence in the Premier to believe that he will not let him g0. For that reason I withdraw my objection to those clauses on the understanding that it will be wise to have something dons with them another year. I think everybody in this House, whether we believe in Govern- ment Control or Prohibition-that we are all united in one thing; we want to curtail the sale of liquor. I honestly think that if brewing is permitted in this province, or wholesale liquor houses, it would extend the sale of liquor, and I think that as far as this Legislat- ure has power to deal with it, we ought to have the Act made as strong as possible." Mr. Barbour: “This section 44 f2) which deals with brewers and distillcrs that may be licensed by the Dominion Government to op- erate in this province-it would be very necessa y to have that sec- tion in because we have no juris- diction over it. But the sections dealing with the liquor warehous- es. I think, should all be cut out. Previous to taking the vote in 1922 we had liquor warehouses in this province. We had three of them here in Charlottetown. Part 4 of the Canada Temperance Act pro- vided legislation tonssist provin- ces that had a Prohibition Act. After the vote was taken prohib- iting the importation of liquor into this province; those ware- houses hsd to stop doing busin- ass. 1f we leave this section in, we would make it legal again for a was house to begin to operate here. 0f course this last section may prevent it, but I think it would be better to cut: those sec- itions out altogether." Premier Campbell: "I cannot see . It safely that way. because without those sections our provriicial Act is iiwalid. It ls true those ware- houses have been prohibited. but by the Dominion Government-not the Provincial Government. If we do not. leave those sections in I am iiifrifld the Supreme Court will dc- clare the act ultra. vires again. 'I‘hi,g special provision has been there for the last fourteen years. at. the same time those sections have remained there." , Mr. Barbour: “Was it not before lths plebiscite was taken in 1922 i that thsy were held to be in force -not after the plebiscite was tlk- en?‘ Premier Campbell: "These sec- tions were inserted that same ‘year; the sums session of the Ine- iislature which passed the resolu- .tion asking the Dominion to take I the piebiscih posed tress sections. ‘Of course 1 see Mr. Bentley's , point of view, but his is only an o- : pinion, and he admit; himself that his view may be slight-Iv nreiudlced Jiccause the ‘ ision of the Bu- ‘ prune Court in the cuss was given against him. As the member from Bedcque will " . a lawyer is only n. human being and is per- hs-ps inclined tnrdiscount a judg- ment which is given sgavnst his side of the case." i Mr. Wright: "Mikht I ask, in your conference with Mr. Bent- ley was he quite satisfied that the Amendment u proposed would be sufficient?" Permier Campbell: “Yes. While he didn't. think it was necessary. I" tin-ted that it would cover the """"'ation." "r.

In the province of Ontario Iwhere all the large breweries are ‘operating. during their prohibition law they were prohibited-ol- thcugh they manufactured for ex- port-from selling within the prov- lnce except legally to the vendors.

He bered that the export houses were I giving "all kinds of trouble" and [when those houses were disposed of, it assisted very greatly. Hon.

I ‘wish in th’s public way to again aiflflrm my position as a lemf-‘erance man in opposition to any effort that might be made in this Province to increase consump- tion of alcoholic liquors, and to ex- press at this time my utter confi- denoe in our Premier and Attorney General in the way he has entfor- ced our Prohibition Act. in the past.

Mr. MacPliee: "I think if. is very important to say that the Act has turned out so very much different from what we expected two or three months ago. I refer to’ the broadcasting about our Govern- ment going to put Prohibition out and bring in an Act of Govern. merit Control. There is no doubt that anyone interested in the Gov- ernment would be affectedbyfhat. I have been asked many time: what is the attitude of the Gov- ernment-"Are you going to tin-ow away Prohibition and give usGov- eminent Control rIBht-or wrong?" One man said, "I believe you have about eighteen members who would vote for Gov- ernment Control". I said as far as I know I think you could turn it the other way. anyway; perhaps more.

I am proud of all the members. If anyone has made a suggestion for a. change they have said they would never ssk it. until the people gave a decision." Hon. Mr. Allen: "I think these remarks are very timely. I think if a. lot of those who were agitat- ing for Govcmmcnt Control would spend their time in working at. their own jobs, it would be I whole lot better for them and ev- ery member of the House.
