Mr. King continued by showing that nothing in British history compared to this since ihe dnys of Charles ‘the First. “it may be all very dramutie. very during, but there is not a vostigo of constitu- tional right which it does not und- ermine.

Mr- Melghen suys there is no constitutional issue." said the for- mer Premier. "Let mo tell the pre- sont Prime Minister that he will ﬁnd before the present campaign in over, that there is a constitu- tional issue greater than any ihnt has been raised in Canada since tho founding of this Dominion. ll. is a constitutional issue not raised by the (iovernor (lenorsl, but b'y Mr. Meighen himself‘, and Mr. Meiglton has only himself in llli-lllil!

MONCTON, July 23. “Speaking from s Moncton platform lust night, Rt. Hon. Arthur Melghexl, us Prime Minister of (fanatic, repeated the pledges he gave the people of thc Maritime Provinces when be appeared berc as louder of the Op- position on the 21st of September last. .

(‘hief among the problems of the Maritimes, Mr. Meighen saw the difficulties of tariff transaction. The letter difficulty, he declared, twss inherent in the geography of this part of Canada, in the location of the Marltimes as related to the rest of the Dominion.

“That,” he said, "is s difficulty which you foresaw when you ent- ered Confederation. You made provision against it; but you found that the provision you ‘made has not in its working out. realized your expectations. You look new for such stops to be taken and poll- cies adopted, at the cost of this whole ltation, as will carry out the spirit of tlhe pact and realise the expectation of Confederation.

Repeats His Pledges

“With this object in mind." the Prime Minister declared. "i felt the right thing to do was to face ihe problem squarely and give to the Muritimes that portfolio which has most. tiirectly and centrally to do with transportation. it will not be‘ the fault or thc Minister if these problems arc not wholly und- erstood by the new Government. l know we shall not solve the prob- lcm by merely appointing a Minist- Thst is merely a step toward solution; but i assure you that Mr. ‘Black's standing is such, and :his opinion so valuslble, that. in the Government which now controls this country, or governs this Do- minion, his word will go fer and his advice as to the solution of Maritime problems will be heeded very generally, lf’not altogether."

Referring directly to the l. C. R-v the Prime Minister told his nudi- ence:

"i have always salzl that the sol- ution of the transportation prob- lem for the ltiaritlmlas does not de- pend nn who manages the inter- colonial. It depends on the rates. it depends on whether you can market your products over the lu- tercoloulal.

"When I said in the last election, that I repeat tonight, l do not. modify my language at the dicta- tlons of any Liberal committee," the latter remark with reference to reports that have been appear. lug in the newspapers, "inspired from Liberal headquarters."

“i believe," Mr Mclgitcn stated, "that the jurlsdiciiott nf the Rail- way (Jommissitln should remain in- tact. but i realise that tho Domin- ion of Canada should itself assist rates upon such basic products as are to reach our (‘entrsl Provinces and in order thut the expectations of Confederation may be realised."
