PAGE TEN k ESTIMATES i-__ (Continued from Page 0) could go far to finance this Prov- ince‘: share of the pensions pay- Inents. Hon. Mr. MacPhee pointed out that any increase in revenue from the Domicile Companies Act would be more than offset by the in- hreased interest payments and robable decrease in motor license ees and gasoline taxes. Mr. Lea. had credited the Domi- ‘cile Companies Act to the saga- city of "the céihpbeii boys " “We on this side have never questioned the sagacity of these gentlemen." said Mr. MacPhee. "Our conten- tion was that they were two saga- cious for the present leader of the Opposition." (Laughter). The arguments of the member from Rustlco, Mr. MacPhec said, were so logical that he wondered why that gentleman had not suc- ceeded in persuading his own Government to adopt them when his party was in power. The distribution of pauper grants was discussed by Mr. T. A. Camp- bcll, Mr. Lea, Mr. McIntyre, Mr. Allen and Mr. Dennis. The item passed. Premier Stewart in reply t0 l question stated he had been in- vlted to attend the Imperial Con- ference which takes place at Ottawa on April 9. He hoped to be present if the business o: the House was not, too greatly protracted. Provincial Secretary - ‘Treasurer's Department ($11,650) was carried without discussion. Auditor Commended Provincial Auditor's Department ,'($z.400) was a usscd. The acting ‘Auditor, Mr. Massey, has given splendid satisfaction, the Premier reported. The Opposition members concurred in this statement. It was expected to appoint Mr. Massey permanently. "One has only to consider the manner in which the Public Ac- counts were prepared this year, to realize that he is thoroughly com- petent," added the Premier. Mr. T. A. Campbell suggested that the permanent appointment be made as soon as possible. The item passed. ' Purchasing Agent, $1,000. On this item Mr. LcPase maintained that the position offered temptation to graft and should be filled by a very responsible man. I-Ie maintained that the present appointee was not qualified. Mr. Stewart Tliplied that while the Purchasing Agent has already effected savings, he has no final authority‘ to purchase himself, as every purchase must ‘be ratified by the departmental heads. Mr. Dennis asked why, in that case, appoint the scent at all. He believed both Governments have lost thousands of dollars through the improper purchase of steel culverts. insisted that the tender system sagas the only proper way. y, The item carried. " The items Provincial Building K7400) telegrams ($150) carried On the subjezt of gasoline rebates 724,000) Mr. Lea said there was great difficulty in distributing these rebates fa'rly owing to dishonest v- was the ferry which the Rustico member had referred to 1n his ‘bribery’ letter in which he prom- ised an elector to secure him an increase in government payment if he voted the right way. Mr. IcPage replied heatedly that he too could table a letter and it had reference to the member from Charlottetown. He was talk- ing, he said, about the Bonshaw ferry, about a. man who received a cheque without having done the work in question. Hon. Mr. MacKenzie said he had been informed by the man referred to that he had received his cheque under the Liberal Government. Mr. LePagc replied that if the stub of the cheque could be produced showing that it had been issued be- fore the Liberals went out of power, then he would take the member's word for it. Hon. Mr. Stewart: “If the hon. member does not care to take the word of a member of this House, he can do the other thing." (Ap- plause). Hon. Mr. MacKenzie cited a case where a man had received a cheque for lumber from the Lib- eral Government, “and that lum- ber is still in the woods." Mr. McIntyre said the cheque must have been mailed to that person by mistake. Mr. Wigmore assured Mr. Mac- Intyre that it was no “mistake? It was a deliberate non-fulfilment of contract. Mr. McIntyre admittedthat "it might have happened." Such things happen in every business, and mistakes have been made by all Governments, he said.’ The planking of Hillsbcro Bridge was discussed by Mr. McIntyre, Hon. Mr. Stewart and others. The supplying of cement, etc, for street work in Summerside un- der the unemployment grant, the subject of a lively debate between Mr. Allen and Hon. Mr. McPhee, developed into a general discus- sion on the distribution of the fed- eral unemployment grant, grav- el expenditures and road con- struction and maintenance under both provincial administrations. Incidently Hon. Mr. Sharp re- futed statements made by Mr. Dennis with regard to the leasing of oyster areas. He showed that the agreement of 1928, permitting the Federal Government to lease-these areas had been opposed by Hon. Mr. Stewart and had been signed by Err-Premier Saunders a few months after theLiberal Govern- ment came into ‘office. After further discussion the pub- lic works items, totalling $255,630, passed, as did the- estimates for sinking funds (ordinary, $14,955; highways, $34,375); telephone ex- tensions ($250), unforseen expendi- ture, ($2,000), and capital expendi- ture, ($158,000). Fire Insurance The question of fire insurance at Falconwood and Prince of Wales College was raised by Mr. T. A. Campbell who again accused the Government of "bungling" in the matter of the new insurance on Faloonwood Hospital, and declared that certain insurance policies to the amount of $17,500 had been cancelled by the Government. ll-lon. Mr. MacPhee said the Gov- methods used by some b60010 iii sending in returns. He cited examp- les and suggested that it would not be too drastic if the pol'ce were sent to investigate some of the re- batc claims. The item carried. Z Public Works Dept. A lively debate developed between Mesrs. LePage and Bethune as to the amount of work done in their dstrlct under Liberal rule. Hon. Mr. MacPhee suggested that the Rustlco member's policy differed from that of his leader. Mir. LePage had at least written a "platform" and it was read in the House ths other lvenhg by Mr. Bethune. (Laughter) Mr. LePage: "A man that would rob the mails for to get a man's private mail and then read it in this House-I tell you it's a pretty serious thing. I don't know where those letters came from. The letter was mailed. I am not saying any- thing about it. There was nothing to it. No doubt if I went to the Cardigan member's district I might es and his letters too. I don't think that I should be responsible-and I don't member‘ should find 801110 01 hi! r think the hon. make i joke about it." Mr. Bethune: "I may tell the hon. gentleman that I am no ‘rob- ber.’ When he says I robbed the mails-J’ Mr. LePage: "I didn't say that. I said ‘any men that would rob the mails.’ " l-ion. Mr. MaePhee: "The member from Rustico appea a to think that I tried to ‘make a joke’ of what he did. I submit, Mr. Chairman, that he attends to that himself." (Laughter). Mr. LePage objected to expend- itures made 1n connection with the Bofilhlw (0117. ‘ ', ' ernment naturally wished to re- cover as much insurance as poss- ible, and any information respect- ing disputed claims would be help- ful. Mr. Campbell had mentioned two items of insurance, of $10,000 and $750 respectively. He wished to know who had supplied him with the information that a $750 insur- ance policy had been cancelled by this Government. Mr. Campbell said he had been so informed by the agent, Mr. Higgs. Hon. Mr. MacPhee said that was most interesting. The Government takes the position that none of the policies mentioned had been can- celled. No such order was ever is- sued. In reply to further questions from Hon. Mr. MacPhce. Mr. Campbell said his information with respect to the alleged cancellation of $10,000 insurance policies had been receiv- ed in part from Colonel Davison. He did not interview personally the third agent, but he was informed it was J. A. Webster and Company. He was further informed that the excuse made by the Government was that the Deputy Minister of Public Works had given I. verbal or- der to other agents to replace that insurance with other companies. Hon. Mr. MacPhee: "I 312d like to know where my hon. Tiend got that information. Mr. Campbell: “I have heard it." Hol-fn. Mr. MacPhee: "It has bc- come very apparent that the mem- ber has been a victim of rumor. The Government will naturally attempt to recover as much as possible of the insurance, and my information is that no such cancellation orders were issued. Mr..Cnnpbe1l: "Do you still in- tend toeollect the $10,000?" Hon. Mr. Stewart: "Certainly." Mr. - ampbeii: "I am credibly 1a- rcrmea that the Minister or Agri- .8m.h.llafllil1auaskediftbi| somcbodywbatfhave ' into the plan. stated." Hon. Mr. Sharp: "I may say that the hon. member was misinformed." Hon. Mr. Stewart: “Such state- ments should never be made in this House." Mr. Campbell asked if the Gov- ernment had put in claims for this insurance to the various companies. Hon. Mr. MacPhce repliedthat the claims had been presented through the representative of the" fire insurance underwriters with whom the Government dealt. Mr. MacPhee again explained that the saving on insurance premiums of $1,643.91, effected by the present Government ,represented the saving on premium rates made on the to- ta! insurance on all the Government buildings. After further discussion on this subject the , total Ehtimates were passed without division. The Speak- er took the chair at 12 o'clock_ midnight, and the Bill was report- ed on as having been agreed to without amendment. ' On motion of Hon. Mr. Stewart, the House adjourned until 10 a. m. this (Friday) morning. NO AIRPORT (Continued from Page 1) Province and not the city. Councillor Doull remarked that his views were not changed by the talk of Mr. MacPhee. With ref- erence to Mr. MacPheeh remarks that in case of default of Dr. Jen- kins, the city “ouia have the air- port for $15,000. Mr. Doull pointed out that the motion before the meeting was that the financial condition of the city would not permit any obligations. Our ex- penditure this year will be greaterw than ever and we are near enough to our limit with the banks that no matter how good a thing it might be we should not take on any obligation. If anyguaraifitee- ing is to be done. the Province and not the city should do it. =-.f Councillor Kennedy expressed his appreciation of the worlrldone by Dr. Jenkins but did not ‘believe the city to be in a positiontoenter Councillor Holman was undecid- tified in entering into this project or not. The Council should have definite information on such an important subject before they vote on it. He asked if the Province had considered guaranteeing the bonds themselves. Mr. MacPhee replied they had not done so. If the Government did this theylwould probablyh to enter into‘some such“ an ment I for Summerslde. 1 _ Councillor Trainer was‘ also doubtful of‘ the desirability ofthe“ plan. ‘ I ' Councillor Day called attention‘ to the fact that no expenditure would be called for atpresent. He believed the City would have good security. Councillor Burke felt theywould be taking a heavy responsibility. Although personally in sympathy with project he believed the citi- zens would not support it. a " ' Councillor Kennedy also" believed it to be a Government measure. He believed the condition of the fin- ances would not warrant it. Councillor Reardcn also person- ally in favour of plan. found the citizens were not behindit. They believe the city has all it can do to take charge of its own affairs. Dr. Jenkns was then asked to speak to the Council. He explained the formation of the airport. He had been waited upon by the aviation committee of the Board of ‘Trade and asked if he would make Upton farm. available for an airport and what he would require for a lease. He replied that he wanted some assistance from the City or Gov- ernment. He went ahead and built the port with the under- standing that they would eventu- ally take it over. Dr. Jenkins complained of the support he received-from the city. He told that at the time of the visit of Boyd and Connors here be- fore their trans-Atlantic hop. he was required to pay a City police- man to guard the plane. He pointed out that if the City guaranteed the loan he would be saddled with an expense of $1,000 a year for interest and‘ another thousand for mat tenauce. He showed that if the worst happened the city would have the airport for $15,000. He stated he had been making negotiations whereby a better ser- vice would be obtained this sum- mer and he had stipulated that a‘ flying school should be ‘opened here. However, he could not cone‘ tinuc the airport without‘ assibt- ence. ' _ - The Mayor then put the aboic resolution which was carried. The meeting then adjourned. ' ‘i Notice Ii ,.

They planned to protest the attack to the French authori- ties, under whose jurisdiction it oc- curred, urging precautions against a recurrence. A breakdown of the Peace Par- leys, expected in some quarters, over the major issue of withdrawal of Japanese troops from the Shanghai area liud been averted. But the delegates still had many questions to decide before complete harmony could be reached. Mutual concessions were made to- day before the conference adjourn- ed until Saturday, giving the dele- gates time to refer the difficulties to their home governments. The Japanese agreed to withdraw into four separated districts, as fol- lows: 1. The Woosung none. including the railway yards and docks. 2. Hongkew Park, including a small sector of Chapel extending a mile east of the Woosung railway. 3. .The Yangtzepoc district. in- cluding the present Japanese head- quarters at the Kungdah cotton mill and the adjacent area, extend- ing a mile outside the settlement boundaries. . 4. .The vicinity of the Kiangwan race course, east of the village of Kiangwan. The Chinese, on the other hand, refused to concede the Woosung district, although they agreed to permit the Japaneseto use a strip of territory between the Woosung railway yards and the northwest edge of the settlement. They also objected to the Japanese occupy- ing the Kiangwan district and any portion of Chapel west of the rall- way. The Japanese said they were un- willing to make further concessions. 1t would be impossible, they con- tended, to quarter their 50,000 troops and,'5,,000 horses in a smaller area. But;fo_r the first time they express- ed willingness to set a time limit for their withdrawal. It was agreed on both sides that the Chinese forces would remain in their present positions, which are outlde the‘ Japanese lilies from Sh ghal.

Y., March 31.-- Reductions in trans-Atlantic pas- senger fares ranging from 10 to 50 per cent and abolition of the usual summer increase were today by virtually all of the major steamship lines. The cuts brought the rates to the lowest point since 1914. While the slashes vary in M- cordance with the class of passage and the grading of the ships, of- ficials agreed the new schedules would show virtually a uniform re- duction by all lines. The new fares apply to sug" stately vessels as the Aquitnnlr Olympic" Belgenland, l-lomeric, Bremen, Europa, Leviathan, and the Canadian Pacific Line's Ern- press of Britan and Empress of Australia. > Reductions are greatest in first class accommodations, scaling down to ten per cent in third class ratcs. The Canadian [Pacific reduc- tions come into effect with the opening of navigation this year. With some lines, including the United States, Hamburg-American, Anchor and Anchor-Donaldson, the new schedules are effective immediately. with others such as the White "Star, Red Star and North German Lloyd, they will go into effect April 4. As J. S. Mahool, passenger traf- fic manager of the White- Star Lines expressed it, the reductions were made "in keeping with the trend to reduce prices that is pre- valent throughout the country." French line officials said they looked upon the reductions as an experiment. In past years, rates have been increased from ten to 30 or 40 per- cent during May, June nnd July, when trans-Atlantic traffic is z its peak. The larger percentage reductions are figured on the basis of what the fares would have been had this summer increase been put in effect this year as usual. The United States Lines, the only large trans-Atlantic line which is not a member of the steamship conference meeting in Brussels today, brought the lowest first class ratc for its flagship, the Leviathan, down to $192 com- pared with the former $225 sum- mer season rate. John Schroeder, General Pas- senger manager of the North Ger- man Lloyd Line. said the reduc- ed rates brought the price for a. room with bath on "A" deck of the Bremen or Europa to $290, one way is against $582 previously for one person. Tourist rates are cut 20 per cent, making a round trip to the British Channel ports in that class $189 against the former $228 rate. A third class round trip may be had for $135. Tourist rates on the Leviathan to British ports were cut to $93, and the round trp fare to $173. For the White Star Line's new motorship Britannia, and her sis- ter ship the Georgie, which is scheduled to enter service in June, the lowest fare has dropped from $185 to $132. Proportionate reduc- tions have been made in the rates for the Adriatic, Baltic and Lap- land. A drop of 20 to 28 percent in tourist class rates brings the Maj- estic minimum fars from $122.50 to $89 to Southampton. On the Red Star liners Western- iand and Pennland the tourist rouud trip is reduced from $326 to $189. The lowest round trip rats for a tourist class passage is now $150, ll comp ‘ with. $187.50. The Third class one-way rate to British ports on the Express liners Majestic, Olympic and Homeric are now-reduced from $80M to $72.50 for the Belgenland and Bri- tannia from $78 to $70. Oh other Red Stu ships, the one-way ratc is $60. The new low third class round trip ratsl range from $122 on the Lapland, Westernland and Penn- land, to $130 on the tifl-ee Express liners. The new minimum first class charge for the Hamburg-American Line's seven-day steamers, Albert Ballln, Deutechland, New York and Hamburg is $188 to South- ampton, Cherbourg or I-famburl- The rate on the Resolute and Rsliauce was cut to $148. rom-inmu-mfamaal-iilil _.......... ..-.q_-r....;,_,......,,a..._-. uIIIIOUIICCd ' Free State To A, Impose Tariff (Canadian Press) LONDON, March 31—An ex- change telegraph despatch from Dublin today said the Pres State executive council had adopted a plan to impose a 88 1-3 per cent tariff on all foreign imports which can be manufactured in the Free State. Tariffs on imports from Great Britain and the Dominion: would be fixed at 25 percent, Goods already taxed at a lower rate would be subject to an increase to the maximum duty ,the report said. This plan sponsored by Bean Lemass, Minister of Industry and Commerce, would be put into effect gradually over the next few months. There also is a provision for the protection of Free State industries against the growth of trusts. i Denies Report mutant, Mar. a1. - (AP) - Sean Lemass, Minister of Indus- try and Commerce, tonight denied reports that the Irish Free State was about to place a 38 1-3 per cent tariff on all imports of art- icles which can be manufactured in the Free State. Irish officials also said there was no basis for reports of a Cabinet split over the reply to the British Government's communica- tion regarding the oath to the crown and the payment of land annuities. Simultaneously 1t was learned that a deficit of 639,234 pounds ($2,416,305 at the present rate of exchange) had been disclosed in returns for the financial year ending tonight.
