The Progressive Conservative followed a tougher line dur- mg 3,; two-Week Western CIOHI campaign: He is continuing it dur- mg mg wind-up of his tour in the eafliiere was sharp personal criti- cism in Mr. Diefenbakers reply in two lines of attack taken bl Prime Minister St. Laurent involv- mg federal-provincial fiscal rela- iioIlS and family allowances. in the light of Premier Frost's backing of the federal Conserva- tives. r. St. Laurent has aug- gesied Ontario would let P"!- icrred treatment over other prov- inves in any new tax - sharing iiiireement under a Conservative ipdral government. . ' Mr. Difenbaker sand that was "one of the biggest prevarications m Canada's political history." He plpdged equal terms for prov- mcps, with none receiving less than it now does in tax-reatal p,1illIL'nlS from Ottawa. "LIBEBALS SCARED" The Liberals were "running .,,-..-ed," Mr. Diefenbaker said. ilr St. Laurent had "launched on , program of irresponsibility" in fear that his re-election chances 'have been Frost-bitten." ilr. Diefenbaker'sl s s c o n d counter-attack began after Mr. St. Laurent had said Conservatives opposed introduction of family al- luunncel 13 years ago and asked: "Do you think that any Canadian party can win through an election with a program designed to re- peel the Family Allowances Act?" Mr. Dlefenbalier replied that the statement was "either frivolous or false or both." The prime minis- ter "knows better than that." He pledged the conservative pany to maintain all social se- ciii-uy mess va ”at a high stan- dard” and said pensions would be increased to match the coat of liv- ing and to keep pace with na- tional productivity. Mr. Diefenbalrer has reiterated that the Liberal leader's gloves- nit tactics were an admission that the Conservative party is a strong threat to continuation of 22 years of Liberal government. CONFIDENT OF OUTCOME The 01-year-old Saskatchewan lawyer. in his first campaign as leader, has been expressing opti- rniarn as the campaign progresses. He has spolnen repeatedly of a "tremendous upsurge" of Conser- vative support. At ” ' ' May 27 he said he had never been so hopeful and added: "That's a maximum of understatement." iluch of his optimism is based on the sizes of audiences he has been drawing. He had a.aoo in Vic- furl! on a rainy night and 6.000 luo Nights later at Vancouver nliore half the crowd jammed the iin-et outside the hall listening to iniidspeakers. ilore recently in two small Que- hcv towns he drew H100 and 2.- MI on the Ascension Day holiday. .is the campaign progresses he has been dwelling more strongly Dieferiboker Following Tougher Campaign Line v i was enouah. he said. and that was Why all other pensioners wars gatiziu no greater increase.

He told reporters recently: "I neverfeltbetterlnmylife... lseern to be gaining in energy." COST or PROGRAM The question of fedenl-provln- ci-ai tax relations has recurred in his speeches. He has promised a larger share of tax revenues to the provinces and denied Mr. St. tzurenfs claim that this would higher taxes. Various Liberia! cabinet minis- ters have put price tags on the coat of carrying out Conservative promiael. ranging from 31.000.- 000.000 to 52.000.000.000. Mr: Diet- enbalne-r's reply has been that those figures are based on com- pilations of unofficial proposals made by private Conservative MP8 and that the party platform of current expenditures would not cost more than ssoo.ooo.ooo a year to carry out. He has counter-attacked on the question of election promises. pointing to a series of pledges and hints made by the Liberal leader. Mr. St. Laurent had be- sun his campaign on a "no prom- ises” platform but had become "the most promising prime min- ister in history." Mr. Dlefenbaker has been mak- lnil promises too. on top or pledges to cut taxes. increase pen- alone and give provinces a new tax deal. ml 1811'" Policy is a major one: "Flexible" price supports to as- sure farmers a fair relationelilp between their return: and operat- ing costs: extension acmss Can- ada of the conservation policies of the Prairie Farm Rehabilita- tion Administration: strict appli- cation of existing antl - dumping tariffs on imports of United States foodstuffs.

THE PREMIER LIBERAL CANDIDATES It is G well known fact that this province is on the verge of, if not already in, bankruptcy. The cause of this serious situation is the refusal of the Fed- 'ercil Government to recognize our fiscal needs and the neglect of our Federal Liberal representatives to press our . : claims and insist on fair and just treatment under the 'rc1x- shoring agreements. The seriousness of our situation was bluntly slated by Pre- ii mier.A. W. Mcilheson oi the last session of the Provincial Legislciiu re as follows: "If would be no good for all the members of this Assembly. headed by the Speaker to go to Olfa wa: our financial position has been made known in the Capital and if is up to our representatives . . . . . . I do - not mean our Senators . . . . . . to press for Island rights . . . . . . I am convinced ihaf we will get no more at the present time. Last year the Premiers spent a whole day with the Minister of Finance and the answer was No. I do not think that anything could be gained if every member of this House were lo go and sit on Ottawa's doorstep. It must come from our Federal Members". ' BUT Our Federal Liberal candidates don't agree with Premier Moiheson's statement and claim ihaiihis province is being very well looked after by the Federal Government. Mr. Cecil A. Miller, in CI radio address ov,er CFCY on April 20th last, stated as follows: "The financial settlement given our province is most generous". Mr. Neil A. Maiheson has also strongly defended the Fed- eral Government and highly praised it for its "Generous" treatment of this province under the tax; sharing agree- menl. If that is the attitude of the Liberal candidates, what hope is there for this province if Ci Liberal Government should be returned to power? A PROGRESSIVE CONSERVATIVE GOVERNMENT IS PLEDGED TO Immediately convene C1 Dominion-Provincial conference to bring about Ci settlement of all financial arrangements be- tween the Federcil and Provincial Governments. Provide for 0 more equitable share of tax yields for the provinces and municipalities.
