Many of the items specifically mentioned in Mr. Aibbott's bud- get are under heavy buying in Charlottetown at present - and have been for the past couple of weeks. Automobiles are being purchas- ed steadily now while the old prices hold good. There probably would be many more taken up if it were not for Government res- ulations regarding the down pay- menis. This amount - now 50 per cent of the price - is a. solid deterrent to most people in the middle income bracket. Another item which has contributed to prevent dealers from overstock- ing in anticipation of the Budget was the recent edict preventing (Continued on page 15) Sione 0f,Scone LONDON. April 13 - (AP) - Nervous policemen tugged the stolen Stone of Scone back into Westminster Abbey tonight with dramatic flourishes worthy of the ancient and priceless coronatior relic. Racing their cars over a secret route. the police rushed the 458- pound chunk of sandstone out of Scotland and back into England. This was done to avoid any Scot- tish demonstration. Blinking auto headalights to signal their arrival. they drew up before the Abbey itself. Then the cumbersome stone was brought in to the Abbey-its home since 1296.

The amount of the increase was not announced. POLITICAL FORUM DISGI-AOEFUL IDADB sir.-I would like to say a few words concerning the "road de- bate" of which I hear so much talk. Well, we in Tlgnlsh have no roads that should be called a road. I don't see how any Govern- merit could have gall enough to call an election at this time of the year and ask people to drag over those mud holes to go to political meetings, the people saying to themselves, "Yes. I will work to support this goveriunent" and then have the same roads for the next four years. This has been going on for twelve years with many promises made but nothing done. our Premier, Mr. Jones, told the farmers to stay home on their farms. Well. he sure made us stay there for his government roads wlon't allow us to go anywhere tree. We have bridges which are man and horse killing traps for six months of the year. and all that our Liberal friends do is stick up an old cedar pole in the hole and then "get by the best way you can." Yes. the Government built a wharf at Skinner's Pond costing over 3100.000. when there were twenty-five or thirty boats fishing there, they did nothing. Now, when they are all gone from there but five or six boats. the Government built a wharf. Why did they not give those few fish- ermen a price for their fish, and take some of that money they spent and make a road for them to get to church and Tlgnlsh stores? They can't travel by boat to Tlgnlsh on account of the high hills.. The Indians are kicking for their right and I say. "more luck to them". But let anyone go to Lennox Island and then come to ;ri'gnish. and see the mess we are I1 I am. Sir, etc. A LIBERAL NO MORE Tlgnlsh, P. E. I. No Islanders Al Cheese Meeting Representatives of Canada's cheese makers met with Agricul- tural Minister, Hon. James Gard- iner at Ottawa yesterday morn- ing but no Island delegates were among them. It was thought that only cheese makers from Quebec and Ontario were represented. Mr. J. J. MacDonald. Glen1in- nan had been appointed as dele- gate to the meeting but on ac- count of ihe present election cam- paign hc was unable to attend. Mr. Lincoln Dewar was chosen in his place but Mr. Dewar did not receive notice until Wednesday evenrlng and due to poor flying conditions was prevented from making the trip. One of ihe points to be discuss- ed was the price clause in a pro- posed British cheese contract. Queibec and Ontario producers were dissatisfied with the price of 25 cents a pound which they re- ccived last year and and unless they could receive at least 31 or .32 cents it is doubted if they would consider I British contract. 9:30 to 2 'c0llFEDERATl0ll WING li.c.A.F.

Matirleson. l(.C.: The General election of the 26th of April will be held just two weeks from today. The Lead- er of the Progressive Conserva- tive Party has described it as an election of fear. it is one of fear because the Government is afraid that their methods of ad- ministration and the disastrous results of their policies will be- come known and their party will be humiliated if time be given to the people to discuss and consider public affairs. Many citizens have expressed surprise and indignation at the sudden calling of an election at s time when the season and the usual Spring weather make travel- ling difficult or impossible. Many people have wondered at our Election Law being so lax as to permit a snap election. I can only explain that it was not thought necessary. a generation ago, to protect the people against their own Government in ordcr to avoid I situation comparable to the present. Our parents were eviden-tly so innocent as to sup- pose that no Government would take advantage of its own citizens. There are of course certain ruiies laid down as to minimum no- tice for elections. The law pro- vides there must be sufficient time between the issue of the Writ of Election, dated March 31st, and Nomination Day. which is today. to enable the Returning Officers to give ten days notice by the posting of the printed Election Posters in each poll. The elec- tion must be held fourteen days after Nomination Day. Many of you may be very surprised to learn that the Government was in such frantic haste that it did not even follow the Election Act, and publication was not made within the time required. We understand that some Lib- eral supporters gleefully applaud the scheme of a roadless election as a smart political trick which has caught the opposition by sur- prise. As one of the opposition memibers of the recent Assembly I must admit that I considered myself shock-proof at anything our present Government might do in the way of matters uncon- stitutional or irresponsible, but I was really amazed at their bold- HOGKE BUS run .rAGE FIVII Mr. David L. Mathieson Reviews Campaign Issues ness in flouting the law and the smug complacency of their ex- planation for the sudden decision. You.see. it is not merely a quas- tion of tricking the Opposition and taking certain politicians by surprise. politicians are fair game if you like. PI: is I question whe- ther it is morally right to trick the voters and take them by sur- prise. Fundamental Principle I - The Progressive Conservative Party affirms it is a funda- menrial principle in every free country that due time be given to all electors to select persons for nomination as candidates, regard- less of party affiliation; also that the bad traveling conditions pre- v;iillni: in the month of April are obviously matters for due con- sideration by the Government before d'iPeClln'E the date of elec- tion day. These are matters. which affect the opportunity of all electors to select their candi- dates. to aittend meetings, to see and hear their representatives. to consider the issues and to record their votes. The cutthroat political philoso- pihy which puts a premium on the smart trick rather than on fair policy to the people puts a premium on the party machine and the professional politician. A well-oi-led party machine is al- ways ready for any emergency and is no douibt a convenient jugger- naut on which to ride to power; but unfortunately it crushes the political spirit out of many of our best informed and most public- spirited citizens. All of us know such persons who should be in public life, but they detect the pure party machine. Power corrupts and corroded the absolute ruler's mind. The pre- sent Governimeu1t's new theory of executive power under a British Constitution was given to us by the Attorney General only last month. I have been astonished ever since. The Attorney Gen- ei-ai's statement arose out of an OIDOBIIIIOII Amendment to the Throne Speech conc ' Respon- sible Govern-ment. this being its 100th anniversary in the Pro- vince.
