The Ioilr/wing is the continuation
of the report of the Preinier‘s Bud-
get Speech, part of which appeared
in yesterday’s "Guardian. The Prem-
ier was speaking in reference to the
question of subsidies. Continuing. he
said:
As long as fifteen years ago in this
House 1 began -urging upon the Gc-v-
ernment then in power to go after
more money at Ottawa, that we had
claims that siiould be presented, and
if they had done their duty, if they
had taken the matter up as we did in
later years, we might have had our
increase long before. We did all
that we could. We put all our infor-
mation before them; wa urged them
in every possible way to -take action.
Resolution were passed by the
House and they died in this House;
they were never transmitted to Ot-
tawa- But when we came into pmver
wc immediately proceeded to do those
things which he had tried so long and
with so little result to induce the
Government then in power to do.
We took steps and havent to Ottawa
and obtained an increase of $100,000
a year in perpetuity, the greatest boon
that ever came to this province, the
greatest hoc-n that was conferred
upon any province in Canada.
Now, hon. members opposite ure 'very
fond of telling us that in their time
they also obtained an increase. Sc-
they did. and the increase' that came
in their time -amounted to $30,000
pills $70,000-$100,000 a year. They
got $70,000 on general redistribution
of all subsidies to the province oi’
Canada. and they got the lowest they
could posibiy get, an amount assign-
ed many years before by a conference
at Quebec as the lowest amount any
province should get. The hon. mem-
ber who sits to the left of the Leader
of the Opposition was one of the de-
legates oi' this province. and when
they were naked to present ‘their
claims in writing for any furtlicr con-
sideration this prcvince should re-
ceive, they sat there mute and took
the lowest that could be assigned to
any p\'ovince,- $70,000. They took
exactly what we could have got. if
they had never shown their faces in
Ottawa. and it would have been a for-
tunate thing for us li’ they had stayed
at home. because when we went to
present our case we were met with
this objection: VVhy, it is only a few
years ago since there was an inter-
provincial conference and your dele-
gates were here and were asked to
present any special claims the pro-
vince had and they said _there were
no special claims and they took the
lowest in the scale. How can you
now come and claim anything and
try to open the accounts back of that
conference? Well, we had to make it
clear that those gentlemen who pro-
fessed to represent the province did
not represent lt, did not realize their
mission. did not realise the condition
of things, and that the province
should not therefore be for ever kept
out of its just rights because. of the
neglect of those gentlemen to dis-
charge their dutics fully. We succe-
eded in setting aside that obstacle
and _many other obstacles. That was
thu $70,000 they got. 'Thu other a-
mount, $30,000. was selling out our
claim for non-fulfilment' of the claims
of the Union up tc-_ that time. It was
an unlawful sacrifice. lt was not
more than one-fifth of what we should
have got, and tliore again wc' iounri
tiia tan obstacle. ilut we overcome it
also. We. on the other hand, obtain-
erl our $100.00 ri year. not as piirt of
o gcnorui redistribution, because no
other province got any sum for rod-
istribution. and we sold nothing for
it. Wo left our accounts wide open
to be prossed in futnrc yours. More
than that, we put on file in the Privy
Council, in the archives, in tho Lib-
rary, n complete record of our case,
so that any representatives of any
Government in this province may go
to, Ottawa and thorn they will find ali
tho results of our work stored away
and carefully preserved. I searclied
the records and had them all ransack-
ed to find a trace of a single claim
presented by our opponents when
they were in power in Ottawa, and
there was not one scratch of a pen;
so tiiat we have not only obtained a
grant of 3100.000 a year in perpetuity
but we have laid the foundation,
broad and strong. for the renewal of
our claims when better times shall
hive come for Canada and an op-
portune tlme for this province. Not
only have we laid our claims in re-
gard to the public lands in Western
rights in this province, but we have
acted coniointly with the other Mari-
time provinces havlng s claim in re-
gard to the' public lands in Western
Canaria. and we hnvo put on record
every particle of information that
was avaliable in t he Libraries of
Canada and.the United States. ltfls
all there consolidated in a great brief
and the record of the presentation of
claims ia _there preserved, every argu-
ment being on tile, and if the hon.
gentlemen ever came intopower and
they made up their minds they would
do their duty by this province and go
to Ottawa. they would find the result
of many laborious days and months
which we expended in advancing the
oaule of this rovince. it is one of

people-that when that,success was
achieved by the Government. instead
c-f giving the Government whatever
credit they thought due,- we don't
want to make any particular claim in
that regard, we were only doing our
duty and the result was the salvation
of this province- they said: Oh, you
didn't get it, somebody clse got it. I
know that was not _the view oi' the
better element of the Liberal party:
it was the view of a very few of
them. the noisy few. it was discredit-I
able to them, but that mattered no-
-in our reputation as a province at
Ottawa. They knew those statements
were false and they said. This is the
thanks that the' people of Prince Ed-|
ward island give for all that we have
done for them. i' will tell you, the
Government of Canada did not make'
this increased grant to this province
without having been held to very‘
hard account by tile, other provinces.
They had tc- justify i_t and stand up
for us. and as long as the memory of
men in this province endures. there
SIi01l-Id be in that memory thankful-
ness for what was done by the Minis-
ter of Finance. Sir Thomas White.
Without his invaluable aid, without
the ready sympathy which lie, a strait
ger, gave us. we could never have
succeeded. Sir Robert .Borden was al-
ways a friend of this province; but

Now there were some years when

last year, and what did we do with lt?

ed $242,000 in tivo years.--an average
nf 98.490 a year. When the Liber-
als were In power. in their twenty

did not build' the main part or the

nays. Whenever he sees the sun in
'-----_-Arf..~Av,»s.»~»-;--»-»
1 suppose, that the Liberals put it
there-_ He has to change his opinion
u little in that regard, however. We
spent in tive years on permanent
works $242,000; the Liberals -in 20
years spent $218,000. There- is a lit-
tle differcnce between the two, - at
difference in more respects than so
many tiiousand dollars. We paid for
all that we put up; they loft us to
psy for all that they put up; for not
one dollar did they ever pay on ac-
count out of the revenue of this prov-
ince for any of their permanent public
province today. On the other hand. t
today I can stand here and say. and L
prove it, for i have the proof in my' n
hand. that in our five years we have Im
spent far more on permanent works m
than they in all the-ir'tweiity years. S
and paid 1'or it, every dollar. And t
we have paid interest on the debt that t
they left as a legacy' upon our should- V
ers. Yet the Hon. Leader of the Op-
position irnagine-.=f that the people of g
the country are so blind and foolish a
that they would like to go back again 1
to the dark ages when he fornieriy hetd
some sway in this House. That is
where some of the money went that :J
we received and we- also did some- H
vears before. We took that matter 8
iuuch as our increase oi' subsidy. We S
paid 847.000 more than they. and in
that ls. we have spoilt on education,
public works. :md in spite of u pori-
od of war' and sli'es.-. we have come
tlirougii having reduced the irlebted-
ness oi` this province. We have kept,
down the iiltcrest, built up the public
services and reduced the liabilities

riot" iiewspaper und finds this stato-
ment. in the largest t.-_rpe that could
be found on the block: "lilies-rable

reputation; but I cannot count the
number of faces that the Opposition ‘
has. After you are through with III.
