Liberal colleague of Premier Jones in ‘the Fourth District of Queen's. was reminded in the Legislature that he was a party to the elec- tion campaign of 1943 in which this policy figured as a promin- ent plank in the Liberal plat- form. Mr. lVlaoKinnorl professed to have forgotten all about it. Last speaker in the Budget de- bate which concluded Thursday evening, April 24, his speech was larded with controversial state- ments which drew frequent inter- ruptions and corrections from the Opposition benches. "I could have got my name in the press like a lot more, if I had objected to this and that,” Mr. MacKinnon said; “but it would not have got me anywhere, and if 1 was not prepared to make an ‘amendment I might as well have ishut my mouth. That is what ihas been going on in this House ‘this session. We went into these ,billa thoroughly and discussed lthem in caucus. i i Claata Aaperslons i “In closing this debate I am ‘eree. Mr. MacKinnon maintained. "'1 am in a fairly good position to determine who is the winner. and .l' may say I am astonished at the nttltude of the Opposition whorl they repudiate the right of the Province to contribute to the cost of the war. "That is what their zargumcnts against the agreement. between the Dominion Govern- ment and this Province amounts ‘to. I wouldn't face the mother of ‘any boy who is in the soil of "EUPODG if we took that attitude 'on this side of the llouae. "It is claimed uc didn't get enough.

We are not asked to con- tribute ihat. but we. contributed the blood of our boys and the tears of our mothers, That is no sacrifice but don't give your, ‘gold?’ i Mr. R. R. Bell: -"ls the hon. lmember from Belfast casting up ‘to the Opposition that we did not play our part in the last great lslruggle? We have two members iof the Opposition who are veter- ians of the war. The hon. mem- ber has no right in this Assem- bly to make aspersions of that kind." Mr. MacKinnon: "This Prov- ‘lnce did its part but you are de- nying your part in the financial iresponsibllity to pay for that war." Mr. Bell: "Not at all." l Mr. MllcKinnon went on to say lthat» the Opposition was antici- pating an election and talking ac- ‘Icordlngly. "They are grasping at 'atraws and comlnghere with all ikinds of resolutions," he com- lplained. Mr. Bell: "Farmers resolu- ,tions." | Mr. MacKinnon: "They never ;could point to a single dollar that was misappropriated. They try to belittle the greatest pro- gressive government that this Province oversaw. and which has reached its climax today under ‘our farmer Premier, Under the ,condltions that exist today it ia a marvel that those men get the break at Ottawa that they did." It was good to see returned isoldiers coming into the House. continued. The Opposition leader was to be congratulated on ithe two young officers in his ranks. Major John A. MacDonald was “a young man who would go far", but he. Mr. MacKinnon. would warn him that he would "go further for his sincerity cf ipurpose than for hurling adject- ives at his political opponents." Soldiers‘ Vote “Perhaps we were wrong in not taking the soldiers’ vote," Mr. iMacKinnon conceded. "Today we ‘had a. delegation from my dia- itrlct to meet the Minister of ‘Public Works. and walking down- stairs from that delegation was a ,returned soldier. I asked him, ‘Were you disappointed that you didn't have a vote in England?’ ,‘What in hell did we want a vote in England for?‘ he said. The Premier has pointed out that it cost British Columbia $700 to register the vote of half a dozen of the 8O 3.0. men in this Prov- ince." The Mat-hleson Government. he claimed. did not take a soldiers‘ rote duuing the First World War. but there was a vote talrn in 1,1917 by the Borden Government. As a result, there were more soldiers’ votes counted against the Liberal representative in King's than had enlisted from the County. "That happened all over the Dominion." he said. "We had itwo Conservative members in Queen's County: they were both the soldiers‘ vote was counted one was elect-_ ed by a big majority. The other ‘fellow got nothing. A soldier in that war had no vote. He was told how to vote under a threat and more than that they were told to vote at large. 75 per cent of’ the votes polled there were noted at large-votes from Brit- ish Columbin pldced against the man in Queen's to defeat him." Mr. .1, A. lifncllonrlld: "l would like to ask the hon. member a question. r am not interested in the First War, as to how the vote was taken. but during ihe last war was there any Government in THE CHARLOTTETOWN GUARDIAN NORTH AMlRICAN llfi L.
