The Duncan Report Still uUnimplemented

No Funded Wsr Debt

Canada, unlike other countries, did not fund its war debt. If it had funded and set aside $15,000,000 an- nually, Canada's war debt would be wiped out in 50 years.

l l; Satisﬁed

He. Mr. Jenkins, declared that he was absolutely satisﬁed with the re- cord of the King Government. The Government had given honest admin lstiration, he said. l-le contrasted this administration with what might be expected of a "high" protection pol- icy, which he insisted was the Con- iervstive objective.

The price of butter in United States, he declared, is lower than it has been since 19l6. l-le gave this as In example of the danger of high protection for lzriculture.

Distances were cited by Mr. Jenk- lng from his personal experience to show that there was no unemploy- ment in Prince Edward Island. ‘The speaker thought there should be further tax reduction. He promised if returned to parliament to vote for l reduction on automobile tariffs "and other things as well."

However. the Government ‘has now given notice that it is go- ing to abrogate the treaty and the matter will certainly be fixed up in some way. “When the Canadian dairy ptrcdumrs get on an export basis again, however, they ivill have to take world market prices.

Cyrus Maaniiian in the last ten minutes of the meeting, heatedly denied that “blui'f" was behind the promise of subsidy readjustment. He repudiated the Patriot's con-_ tention that Old Age Pensions would cost this Province at least aoopoo s} year. ‘ It would have been fats] for us to have pressed our subsidy claim until the question of the resources of the Western Provinces had been settled; he said.

(Applause-i

Canada's debt at the close of the war was 82.457.000.000. Today it stands at $200,000,000. How was this debt reduction made? Mr. Mc- Lure supplied the answer when he pointed out among other things that $612,000,000 have been raised by sales tax under the Liberal Government. Computed at the rate existing when the Conservatives were in power, it ﬂwlﬂd have been $454,000,000; in oth- er words there was an incrcsse of $188,000,000 in sales tax alone under the King Government.

Bennett victory must be won outside French Canada. It is diﬁerent to-j

there has been an extraordinary‘ change throughout the province; that Liberal strategists have become alarmed, and that July 28th may well ﬁnd from ten to fifteen Quebec seats in the Conservative column. There will be those. of course, who will scoff at this. There is a type‘ of political mentality that assumes; that because a people or a province‘ have voted one way for a long time they are bound to go on voting thatl way forever. This type of mind reas- oned that way about Nova Scotia.‘ also about Saskatchewan. Because Nova Scotia was overwhelmingly‘ Liberal for nearly 40 years, Mn,

Quebec Situation

about Quebec is that

truth is that the Conservative Party! has always polled a heavy popular‘ vote in Quebec, and that a switch of ten per cent. of the voters in all Que- bec ridihgs would practically give Mr. Bennett an even break in the prov- ince. Nor is such a. switch impos- sible. Between 1921 and 1925 Mr. Meighelfs popular vote in Quebec increased by more than 250.000; had a similar gain been made in me he would have carried a number of seats. As it is, an equal gain by Mr. Bennett on July 23th would be al- most certain to win for him s num- ber of constituencies. For there int not a few Quebec ridlngs held by Liberals with comparatively slight majorities. More than a score of seats. certainly, are first class ﬁght- ing ground.

Thus far, no fewer than S9 Con- servative candidates have been nom- inated in Quebec. They are by no means shadow candidates. booking over the list one finds names with a provincial and in some cases s na-

tional reputation in law. in business,

in agriculture; names of men who un- dcubteclly enjoy the conﬁdence of the French Canadian people. That men of such high calibre should be wil- ling to carry the standard of the Conservative Party is in itself an in- dication of the change that has come among the people of Quebec.

This Quebec situation, it has be-

nctt can fail in Quebec and still car-l‘ ry Canada-the vote of 1925 proved] that-but with even as many as ten‘ seats in Quebec, with just a. slight‘ gain there. there would be no qucs-j tion at all as to the result. That‘ would not only ensure Mr. Bennett al much larger group than Mr. King: it would give him a clear and sub-l‘ stantial majority over all other; groups in the House.

Conservative Ontario

And there is hardly a questiori—the strongest Liberals concede this-that, in English-speaking Canada Mr. Ben-‘ nctt will defeat Mr. King, defeat him very heavily. Ontario is hardly inl‘ doubt. From the Ottawa River to; Kenors, Mr. Bennett will make gains,‘ and while the claim of 70 Conserve-I tive seats may be too optimisticu there is little question but that Mn!
