Fisherman's Belt

The fishermen. he said. are bad- aly in need of storage for bait. The {belt they get is brought in from {other places and the fishermen glut pay an exorbitant price.

The Georgetown district. he said, has perhaps the largest fishing grounds in the Province and brings in a great deal oi reve "It has also more harbors t n any other district. It also has probably the highest record in en- listments in the service forces.

. Mr. Strong: "Yet they tell me they are going to take the Court House away from you."

~ Mr. saviile: "We can get alon8 without that. as long as we get Iwd roads and other things."

A large section of country on the south side. he continued. has not tot one paved road. Georgetown borrowed money some years ago to pave its streets under a. provin- cial arrangement. and the province had not kept the agreement. The war was responsible for this. but the first paving to be done in King's County after the war should be the streets oi

Ha agreed with the munici- about the importance of forestry. but said there was a good deal o1 money spent a few year-g 3gp which was of no use at all. except to give some labor. Planting new specimens of trees might be of benefit. Any expenditure should be carefully planned.

Prohibition

There were two "great bodies of opinion" on the Prohibition ques- tion. and thcre were respectable and decent men in both bodies. Mr. Seville said. This was not; a political but a moral quegtion, Any Government that undertook to handle it as a government measure would face defeat. He did not think there were more than four constituencies in which government control candidates could get elected today. He had never received so much conmen- clatlon as when he voted against changing the Prohibition Act last session.

With regard to the Canadian Savil-lo said he knew Great War veterans who were strongly opposed to govern- ment control.

From his own observation the reports of tremendous increase in the liquor business in the Prov- ince were exaggerated. He had not seen much evidence of d -en- ness in Charlottetown. At public gatherings conditions were a great improvement over fifty years ago. The Prohlb‘ ‘ Act has nothing to do with the manufacture of moonshine. and if the Federal Gov- ernment would enforce its own laws there would be very little trouble.

"If the Govemanent or member oi this House choses at this session to bring in a bill to take a plebiscite as to whether the Government should or should not sell liquor for beverage pur- poses. I won't oppose it on prin- ciple.". Mr. Bavllle said. “If suc a. plebiscite is taken I hope those people who claim that they want alcohol will come out and vote. because I think the pleople who favor Prohibition wl not be backward in voting. Whatever the result. I would be p to bow to the will of the majority."

Mr. Mathwon noted that his district the first and second st the Maritime

The date of the fiscal-year had been changed, but the expectation

that this would mean earlier ses- sions oi’ the Legislature had not materialized this year. The uncal- talnty as to the date of the open- ing had caused farmer members s good deal of inconvenience. The Premier appeared to think that it was as much the rduty of Opposition members as of his own party to offer his new Attorney General a seat in the House. If that were the case. he would havs had no need to call an election he- cause the Opposition could have supplied hlrn with four membe w: all well qualified for the sition. Mr. Mathuon noted t at the first reference to Prohibition thts session was made by the mem- ber from First Prince (Mr. Bern- ard). It was a. representative from the same district..Mr. Stanislaus Perry. back in 1872. who had com- plained that the liquor situation had become so serious that if the country was not ready for Pro- hibition then. it. must come soon- er or later. “Now we have a mem- ber from that same district de- ploring the liquor situation as It today."

Second Queen's was as free‘. if not freer than any district in the Province so far as moonshining is concerned. Mr. Matheson said. He was proud to‘ say there have been few ii any seizures for years. Isrm Revenue Decline

Commenting on t c don-tic of farm revenue in- 194 . Mr. Maths- son said a contributing cause was the action of the Wartime Prices and Trade Board in the ‘matter of encouraging people to hold their potatoes until the spring. when growers were led to believe that prices would improve. Those who could ship their potatoes could not get cars. and seed ship- pers could not get permits to ship when they wanted to. Also the price paid last iall was not high enough, and the Government should have established s. floor. Noting the assistance granted to organizations promoting plowing matches. Mr. Matheson suggested that a bonus or some fcnm of as- sistance should be offered to any group who would form a club and buy a tractor. He lnstanced the work of a group of his ow-n district, which had prov- ed beneficial to the conununity. Many excuses had been offered for the delay in constructing a new car ferry. He contrasted thesc alibis with the Premier's state- ment at the last session, that the Province had claims to the tune of millions of dollars against the Dominion Government for losses sustained through our transporta- tion system. "1 wonder if he has pressed this claim at Ottawa." Mr. Matheson said.

trade was to be commended. but there appeared to be man-y ob- stacles. In th-is connection he quoted from Dr. Lattimerh report. to the effect that s cargo of hay shipped last year from Prince Edward Island to Newfoundland cost three times its buying price when it reached Newfoundland.

MI. EUGENI CULLIN

Making his maiden speech in‘ the House. Mr. Eugene Cullen, Third District of Queen's. first re- ferred to Canada's notable war contributions. It was the solemn duty of all its citizens, he said.j to protect the liberty for which so many gallant sacrifices had beeni made. “It is to be regretted," he! added. “that our leaders have been ' forced to return to a policy of ap- peasement. It. is somewhat dis- co raging that with victory we wit have achieved something less, than freedom for all mankind."

He commended the Govern- ment's programme for vocational training and rehabilitation. _ Th. most important thing was prim ary ucation. which was t1 Government's first resiponslbiii‘ It had been figured that the c:
