‘ No. 1._-Uoyetla-the period from 1901 to' date only. -From
isva io 1901, wss' settled by s subsidy or $30,000.00 per
annum. _
No. 2. Manitoba, British Columbia, Alberta and Sas-
katchewan were all paid subsidies upon the basisf- of an
assumed population. I' _ 1- _
No. 3. This subsidy for want of Public Lands is paid
to four Provinces only, viz:- '
Manitoba, P. E. Island, Alberta, Saskatchewan.
All the other Provinces _own their Crown Lands.
P. E. island under the terms of Confederation received
$45,000.00 and Manitoba $45,000.00. In 1885, Ma.nitobs's
subsidy was increased to $100,000.00.
A further increase may be given Manitoba under this
l1_eod by proposed extension of boundaries.
Alberta and Saskatchewan, established in 1905, re-
ceivedcompensation to each Province for Public Lands.
$375,000.00; to increase with increasingi population up to
;1,12s,000.00. ' ' _ _ _ _ _
This subsidy, for want of lands. appearsto have been
framed to meet the necessities of landless provinces. It
might well be increased for P. E. Island in view of its
necessities and the immensely better`_j terms given the
newer provinces. _ _
After several__consultations with the members of the
Sub-committee and with the other members of the Council,
and the matters in question having been fully discussed,
it was agreed that the closing of the negotiations should be
left in the hands of the Prime Minister, the Minister of
Finance and Mr Mathieson, the Chairman of your delega-
tion; and Messrs McLean and Arsenault set out for home
with' the assurance that substantial aid _would bo granted
to this Province. »
Your delegates desire to place on record their apprecia-
tion of the courtesy and consideration extended to them
by _the Prime Minister, the Minister of Finance' and the
other members of the Cabinet, and of their earnest desire
to deal justly with' this Province. " '

me on the 26th day of February, 1912, to frame for sub-

to base an increase of $100,000.00 and on the same day I
wrote and caused to be delivered him a letter with en-

and the -mainland since Maiy 1001... _ . . . . _

per capita subsidies _granted other Provissces.by amand-
ment of B. N.'"A.' Act, 1907, for whichthis Province received
no equivalent. , `
Honourable George Ross, then Premier of Ontario, pro-
posed, by memorial, at the Conference of 1902, that in the
csse`of Provinces ‘having a population of less than one
million, an annual allowance of $200,000 should be given
for the support of Govemments and Leglslatures. This
proposal would have given P. E. Island $100,000.00 more
than it actually received. Oar delegates appear to be un-
conscious of tliis._ No other Province was interested in

I beg to acknowledge receipt of your favour of the 9th

Province, and to thank you for your piompt reply.
I have telegraphed you to-day as follows:-
‘_‘ Brief mailed 5th instant, mailing duplicate to-day.
Think draft Statute as mailed best and most easily de-
fended, having numerous precedents. Writing. Will go
t_o Ottawa if necessary." `
You may recollect that at the last meeting two basis
for the increase of Subsidy were considered-one marked
Plan No. 1. providing for
’ I. Damages for non-fulfilment of terms of

2.- increase of Subsidy for want of Public
_Lands $45,000.00 to $125,000.00 . _ . . .
.. 80,000.00
Tl1e,former' is most easily defended on these grounds:-
1. We are the only Province whose population has
actually declined in Confederation;
‘_ 2. A_lso,t_he only Province with which a contract has been
continuously violated; __
3. 'lihis breach of contract certainly affected adversely
Dill' population. and we should not thus be penallsed twice
for Canada’s default;
4. Under the favourable conditions expected, our popu-
lation will resume its old high ratio of increase and will
commence at once to cut down the gift and ultimately
wipe it out.
As to Plan No. 2. it would, if k d
scale as applies to all the other Pvi?d,\Iinei:esm:\Ih‘Iclhuh(i’1:ea2<€
