WEDNESDAY, JULY 17, 1935- THE LIBERAL APPEAL ‘The electors during the past few lays have been given some indica- tion; in unguarded statements of Liberal candidates, as to what the eo-called “balanced budget" pledge of the Opposition amounts to. According to Mr. B. W. LePage at the" New Glasgow ‘lng, it 1 means, for one thing, abolition of Health. This portfolio was provid- ed for by the late Liberal Govern- ' ment as an election gesture, it hav- ing been one of the major recom- mendations of the commission which they appointed under the chairman- ship of Dr. Cyrus Macmillan, that the important departments oi’ Health and Education should be under the supervision of p. compet- ent Minister. The Conservatives. who have always been the friends .01 health and education in this ~ Province, indorsed the Macmillan report and implemented this recom- mendation on assuming office. They have received, from the Liberal Op- position, nothing but abuse. But the Red Cross Society, the Women's Institutes and kindred or- ganizations have been assisted ma- terially in their work, and the idea of abolishing this portfolio, so ably administered during the oust iour years by Premier MaicMillan, will certainly not meet with their in- dorsatlon. However, “needs must when the devil drives." Among the thirty Liberal candidates now seeking sup- port, there la not a single one qual- ified to fill the Health portfolio. dldates seem to think that health and educational matters are of little get along just as well by disregard- Nor is this parsimony to be com- pensated for by improvement of public services in other directions.

That it helped to form the teeth has likewise been known for a long time but that the taking of lime in foods or otherwise would actually Prevent the decay of the teeth is only a recent discovery. Another discovery was that “rickits" that gave children the bow legs and other bony deformities was due to lack. of lime and sunshine, and lime is now used in the pre- vention of rickits.

The first plank in the Liberal platform read as follows: “At the Inter- provincial Conference to be assembled this fall we will, if returned to power, in the ensuing election, exert our utmost endeavours in pressing our claims for increased subsidy for our Province, On obtaining“ increased subsidy u downward revision of taxation.” The Liberal Government was returned and in Novem- her, 1927, Premier Saunders, at the Dominion Provincial Conference at Ottawa, presented subsidy claims for an unspecified amount. The Premiers of Saskatchewan and Alberta said they would have no objection to the Island receiving an additional $100,000 per year. Nothing to our advantage resulted from this Confer- ence. Months passed. On Dec. 17, 1928, Mr. Saunders wrote to Premier Mackenzie King, giving a lengthy state- nlent of the Provincefs “sad and distressing” financial circumstances, He asked humbly “if you felt you could find time to meet rne and discuss these matters and if you will be good enough to mention an approximate date.” Premier Mackenzie King replied on Jan. 26, 1929, by ridiculing the length of the letter (“I am sure this com- munication was never written in a single dayl”) “Your time and mine”, he concluded, “might as well be spared” so far as discussing the matter personally was concerned. On Sept. 26, 1929, Mr. Saunders wrote to Finance Minister Robb, urging that “NOW IS THE OPPORTUNE TIME TO HAVE THE MATTER ADJUSTED” and asking for an appointment with Mr. Robb and the Prime Minister. Robb replied that the Prime Minister would be out of Ottawa “all during tile month of November", and that he himself would be too busy to discuss tile matter. ‘This, however, should not prevent your officers submitting statements to tile departmental oiflicers.” “RIGID NON-COOPERATION” On October 7, 1929, Mr. Saunders wrote again to Mr. Robb, complaining of a. statement made in the House of Commons by the Prime Minister, to the effect that the Maritimes had not been pressing their claims. He reminded Mr. Robb of his suggestion, “last spring, that this Province should COME ALONE, rather than in conjunc- tion with the other Maritime.

I ALSO DECLINED TO HAVE ANYTHING TO DO ING OF THE MARITIM CONNECTION.” - MAKING 'A JOKE OF IT BOARD OF TRADE IN THIS On Jan. 21, 1930, while Premier Saunders was in Ottawa presenting a “memorial of claim” for some four hundred thousand dollars annual ubsidy, Mr. W. M. Lea, as Acting Premier, PUBLISHED OVER HIS NAME IN THE PATRIOT NEWSPAPER, A STATEMENT OF CLAIM FOR $3,372,165 additional annual subsidy, plus $200,000 “cash subsidy.” On the same evening, the Charlottetown Board of Trade at the suggestion of Senator Hughes, adopted a resolution urging the appointment of a Royal Commission to adjudicate on the subsidy claims questions. Senator J. E, Sinclair. who was present, objected on the ground that a Commission was not necessary and might do harm. He stated that. our case was then before the Dominion Government and “was well advanced”, and that we might expect a settlement “shortly”. Furthermore, he contended that any Commission would mean a year’s delay “and Prince Edward Island could not afford such delay.” 'THE “AUDIT BOARD” STATEMENT On Jan. 25, 1930, Premier Saunders returned from Ottawa and in an interview with the Patriot newspaper expressed agreement with everything Senator Sinclair had said, adding that he was surprised that anyone would advocate a Royal Commission in view of the progress the Federal Government was making in the matter. He announced that he had filed “a special memorial” at Ottawa setting forth the Province’s claims in lieu of public lands in the light of the, settlement of the Manitoba case”; that “an audit board of expert accountants” had been “appointed to make FINAL ADJUSTMENT OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND SUBSIDY CLAIMS.” This statement. transmitted by the Patriot editor to the Canadian Press, received wide publicity in the Marl- timea and its reaction may be judged from the following statement in n Halifax Newspaper of January 29, 1980 : “These announcements from Charlottetown have left the impression that Prince Edward Island claims are to be dealt with first and specially and that the Premier of the Island was able to make arrangements of this kind. This impression is incorrect, It appears however, to be the fact that the Premier of Prince Edward Island was a party to a conference regarding this vitally important matter to which the Premiers of the other two Maritime Provinces were not invited, and of which they were not advised. THIS ‘IS RE- GARDED BY THOSE AWARE OF THE ClRCUM-- STANCES AS DISTINCTLY UNFORTUNATE ‘AND LIABLE ‘IO-LEAVE THE FURTHER IMPRESSION THAT THERE IS SOME BREAK IN THE MARI- TIME FRONT.” .
