' A (Continued) Provincial legislature, March is. Debate on Draft Address. Dr. W.J.P. McMillan (continued from yester- days Guardlann. Railway Grant. The Premier wept on to deal with the Railway grant. He tried to give the credit for that increased subsidy of $40,000 a year to the late Mr. D. A. theMinister of Railways that he ras the one who really put that mat- bcr through." and that Ear-Premier Stewart had nothing whatever to do with it. In fact, the Premier ‘ ’ this House to believe that Mr. Stéw- art was not there at all when the final settlement was arrived at. l-le did not tell you that several years before it was brought to the surisce by the Maritime Premiers at the in- stigation of Mr. Stewart. He did not tell you that the present Minister of Finance, the Hon. Mr. Dunning, had got the claims of Saskatchewan set- tled yesrs before on the very same grounds. If they had been that cle- ver when the Bell Government was in power, the Hon. Mr. Bell would not have» been complaining that he leagues and followers, in the press or on the floor of the House. If my hon. friends who were sitting there in the days of the Bell Government had appreciated those claims, if they had not looked upon them as "chest- nuts" they might have been further‘ ahead at this time. The Premier maintains that the‘ Conservatives had nothing to do with _, the subsidy increase in I920. No! We had nothing to do with it-xecept that we got it? He did not tell you that if the settlement had been made on the strict letter oi the law, we would have received in lieu oi railway taxation only s28.- 000 instead of $40,000; so that we have enjoyed an extra 512.000 a year on that item alone. thanks to the co- that the Premiers of Nova Scctia, New Bruns- wick nnd Prince Edward Island at that time. (Applause). (Jo-operation Perhaps the Premier had better trike a leaf out of that book now. Probably he will flnd that it would be better to work in co-operation with those Premiers on questions that are of Importance to all the Marl; time Provinces, rather than try to play a lone hand, because it liapperu that. a Liberal government is in pow- er at Ottawa and another Liberal government is in power in this Pro- vince. _ In the same wsy, oi course. we had "nothing to do" with getting the $125,000 subsidy recommended by the Duncan Commission as. interim payment-nothing at all; except that we got it. During the days oi the Stewart Government the revenues of the Province were increased by $160.- 000: and during the days oi- the Saunders Goverenrnent the revenues of the Province have ‘been increased by not one cent. That is the differ- ence; and a Liberpl Government was in power at Ottawa daring both per- iods. (Applause). “Jnst Kind Words" The Premier had much to say about the Dominion Provincial conference oi 1021, at which this Province was represented by himself and Judge Inman. Poor Premier Baxter could only speak hall an hour on that pc- coslon. Premier Rhodes wad sick and could not attend; so he sent a deputy in the person oi Colonel Har- rington‘; and he could only speak for hall an hour. But the Premier c: this Province could speak for an hour and a half. and "Attorney General" Inman could occupy the same length of time. And so, the Premier asks, Who was it that irnpressdd the con- ference? It was not those fellows who could only speak for half an hour. "We impressed that conference, Ir. lriman and II" So says the Premier. But what did we get? llotlrlrsg. sis sympathy! Just a iew kind words friend talked ior an hour and a half, hllg Statements. A i Of Gflllfiflmenl’ Leaclerw 2 i . but did- he make any concrete sug- gestion: Perhaps that may have been the trouble. Be gave the conference noih‘ to act upon. I suppose we will be in danger of being decapitat- .ed for suggesting such a thing; but there must have been some hitch at that conferen , something must have gone wrong and perhaps it was because the delegates from this Pro- vinoe had po-logleal Joposltion to place before the meeting. ,'I‘he Premier now says that the question o! our subsidy claims will have to be settied-by an agreement between the Prcvibce and the Do- minion. This wonderflil Audit Board that is spokenof is not going to set- tle it. Even the Patriot now admits that “when the Audit board makes its report to the Federal Government it will then remain for the Federal Government and the Provincial Gov- ernments to get together and deter- mine iinally what the final readjust- ment shall be." And even’ that will not settle it; because if there is a‘ final readjustment between the Pro- vinces and the Dominion Govern- ment it means revising and changing: the British North America Act; and that will be a little bigger job than ariy‘Audlt Board can do. i i That “ChesinuW Speech The Premierwent to some iroi)‘ to show that,he did not regard ou. Island claims as "chestnuts," and I think he was a little annoyed bccauz: I used _to tell him nbout that remark he made. I-Ie has produced one of his speeches to show that he did riot say he regarded cur subsidy claims in that light at all. That is very good, I knew that he would come around to it some time. It ‘was just one of those statements that he made first and thought about afterwards. 1 notice that the Premier. quoted letters to the late Hon. Mr. Robb and from "Mr; Robb and the present Pin- arice Minister, Hon. Mr. Dunning. The. w. ’ "showed, among other things. that Mr. Robb hadmadc a suggestion that the Island's ‘case be dealt with alone. It seems to me however, that the Maritime Provinc- es have so much in common that there would‘ surely be something to gain if the three Premiers dealt with this “ together. Such a presen- tation would have very much more effect than if each of them went to Ottawa alone; because,_when you are dealing together, you at least have co-operatlon, and if you can get the sympathy and support oi the other Provinces in putting your pro- position through, it will go a long way towards achieving something. But for one Province to go alone, unless it has some very special, out- standing claim. would, to my mind appear to be rather risky. 8o far as the late Mr. Robb was concsmed, I believe he was a very able nancier. I also believe, Mr. Speaker, that he was no friend to Prince Edward Island, that he al- ways took the position that he would keep Prince Edward Island. or any other Province, ironrgettirig an in- creasein subsidy. 'I'hat is my opin- icn. I hope that we will be more suc- cessful with the present Minister. Taking Credit Resuming the debate on Friday morning, March 14, Dr. MacMillsn thanked the Premier and member" oi the House for their courtesy i —pect him to accomplish in the or-, ltake" is not his. I-Ie received his iri- ‘foi-mation from the Premier; so I ‘ take back water and allowing him to move the adjoum- ment at an early hour on the prev- ious afternoon. to pirmit him to at- tend to a serious professional coll. He then proceeded: I was dealing with the Premier's speech in regard to the claims of this Province against the Dominion‘ Government. He related ho\v he went to Ottawa last January in coin- pany with Senator McArthur nnd held negotiations with the Prlmc Minister and the‘ Minister oi Fin- ance. He accomplished, according; to himself, a good deal of work. Arid i I believe that he did do what he could. That is what we would ex- dinary way oi his duty. He was en- deavoring to press the interests o! this Province. The onl lnlslnkr t made was in trying to t ke too m" credit for it. On Jan. 25th, when returned home, the Patriot armor ed in glaring headlines: "Spec Audit Board Adjusting lslu Claims." (Dr. McMillan then extruc from the Patriot's interview with th Premier, with which our readers arc y familiar.) It was rather unfortunate Mr. Speaker, that that should appear A in -the Patriot newspaper. 'I'herr seems now to be a point of dlifarenc‘ between the Premier and the edit rofthe Patriot respecting that. iiitm- view. So far as I know the editor of i the Patriot, Llicrc is one thing czimn‘ l ‘or raid about him; fillfl that is, tlinti he fails to understand. In fact, ii i! were to say anything about him in that respect it would bfitllitl lie un- dcrstands too well and too much, politically. Iii my opinion that "mis- piesumc the mistake was the Prem- ier's. You may say that it does not amount to anything, alter all. But it just. amounts to this, that. it drew forth very serious criticism from the press of the Maritime Provinces, and it is one oi those happenings that docs riot tcnil to make for that co- operation which should exist between the [uv rnmeriis of the Maritime Provinces st this time, when the question oi subsidy claim: should be the most. vital and important thing. Other Mlsstaiements There was a little more than the word "special" objectionable in the Patriot's report, although the Prem- ier made no reference to any other mistake. In the body of the interview we find: "Premier Saunders then stated that an Audit Board has been sp- poinied by the Ring Government to make this final adjustment." There, Mr. Speaker, is a state- ment which is absolutely incorrect. Here is another: . "The members of this Board have been chosen with the greatest. care" I There is the continuation of the misrepresentation. Anyone reading that. would naturally suppose that the Premier of this Province had suc- ceeded in getting is special board oi auditors appointed by the Dominion Government to make a iinal adjust- ment of the claims oi this Province. Ii he had done that, oi course, he had gone a véry considerable way in getting a settlement. But the fact oi the matter, as we now have it. ls that the statement in the Patriot was absolutely incorrect; It was mislead- ing; and it was heralded all over Camila. through the Canadian Press,- ‘ to be contradicted and cor- 1. .: should never have happen- -' i it never would. have hap- pened ii‘ my hon. friend the Premier had riot been so fond of getting into the limelight. ‘If he had not yielded to the temptatl of boasting when he came back, arid if the Patriot had not been so fondot its glaring head- lines, they would not have had to ‘ ' and correct their misstatements on a matter of this kind. And they would not have the people of our sister Maritime Provinces saying what they said, ‘ , that probably the most oharita“ way oi looking at it. so far as the Premier was concenwd, was to suppose that he did riot under- istand what had happened. That was the humiliating position in which the Premier placed himself. ' (To be continued) thin film-W!
