Island Students Receive Diplomas

HALIFAX, April 14--I'bur Is- land students were among the 18 graduates of Pine I-iill Divinity

A protest-the tint to be voiced on the floor of the Legislature-ag- ainst the Campbell Government's “brewery stallion” policy was made last night in the course of the Budget debate by Mr. Horace Wright, Fourth District of Prince. Mr. right took strong exception to th scheme from the standpoint of permitting brewery advertising in a Prohibition Province.

Preceding Mr. Wright, in the de- bate, Hon. W. H. Dennis, Minis-

-ter of Agrculture, had announced

that the brewery stallions would be in service this year but that next year, in view of the opposition of temperance workerx, the policy would be submitted to'the Legis- lature for its consideration.

,MR.. PROWSE PROTESTS

Mr. Wright was not the only protesting mcmbe yesterday. Ear- lier in the day, during committee reading of the bill increasing the tax on Life ' Companies from l to 2 per cent, lion. T. W. L. Prowse, Charlottetown, voiced strong opposition to the increase, stating that he feared it might mean the closing of the smaller branch companies here, to the de- triment of local agents and the in- convenience of policy holder}.

Mr. Dougald liiacKinnon, Fourth Queens, also took exl-t-rfio" to the principle of the tax increase.-

The section carried, nctvever, without a division.

Mr. Wright's Statement

"I was sory to hear the Minister of Agriculture inform the House that we are to have another brew- ery horse from Montreal,“ Mr. Wright declared. "I think we are all aware of the fact that these horses were loaned by Dawes’ Brewery merely for advertising purposes. They do not send their hcrxes here becaue they are in- terested in us. They don't give them for n0thlf1g They expect some return The return they ex- pect is increased consumption o!

clearly understood that I am not attacking the Minister of Agricul- ture because I believe the Mini tcr of Agriculture is a sincere temper- ance man- But his view; are dif- ferent from mine. The reason I have gone so extensively into this ls to try to persuade the Minister that his policy is not a wise one. I was very glad b0 hear him say that he does not propose to con- tinue this next year unlest the members of this Legislature con- sent. I feel, with that assurance, that we will not be bothered with the Dawes stallion another year.

Mr. Mustard the next speaker. said he could not understand how "that splendid type of Percheron horse ls going to corrupt the mor- als of our young people," or “how the mere presence of a horse in this Province i: going to create an appetite for beer. I-le understood ii’. had been loaned "free without any strings attached"

Mr. Mustard had the floor when the: debate adjourned, to meet this morning at 11 o'clock. He was preceded by Hon. B. ,W LePage.

their liquor. We are all aware of the power‘ of advertising During the debate on the Draft Address,‘ the Minister of Public Works re-- terred to the fact that the Domin- I ion Government was making an | expenditure of $200,000 to advertise that the public eat more fish. One i would think that that would not do very much to increase the con- sumption of fish. but the fact. of the matter is that there is wonder- ful power in ndverti lng. and the Breweries know thia. They know it. so well that they put it into ef- fe-t. just to that extent ”

Mr. Wright cited statement-s by the presidrn‘ of a large brewery concern in England, and also an article from the Brewers Magazine, published in New York, showing the importance placed by brewers on advertising. and the effect of their campaign. He also cited the greatly increased consumption of alcoholic beverages in Nova Bcotis as shown by the last report of the Liquor Commixfon.

"When we conzider these facts," he continued, "I think we can only come to the conclusion that the object of Dawes Brewery is that they sent their horse down here in order to create a taste for their wares.

“Are we as legislators going to assist Dawes Brewery in demoraliz- ing our young men? I want it

Hon. Mr. LePage said he had been trying for a number of years to get a bus service for Upper Prince Street and E‘m Avenue. and had been unable to do so. No franchise should be 8W6". hi? slid, until the bus operator" are pre- pared to give a more general ser- vice.

Revelation After Rev- elation Before Com- mission At Alberton Lobster Probe.

Revelation upon revelation feat- ured yest/srdilyls hearing gt; Alber- ton of a Royal Commission con- ducting an exhaustive enquiry into the illegal fishing of lobsters and smelts in Districts 7 and 8 during 193B.

Climaxing a day which bristled with startling disclosures came the declaration late in the afternoon from John C. Matthew, Sécretary- Treasurer of Alberton Fisheries Limited, a co-operative union, that he had in 1935 and 1936 dE-l liberatei; dot vcd Inspector C. R. Palmer so that the Inspector un- knowhgly issued ilcrnrit for empty cases in order that illegally caught and illegally packed lobsters might be transported under legal permit.

Mr. Matthew stated that in 1935 and again in 1936 he had placed 100 empty cases inside piles of le- gal packxl lobsters oh the ware- house floor and bold of informing Inspector Palmer the entire lot was the remains of the Spring pack of the union and of Inspector Palmer accepting the declaration and issuing permit for the total number and also 0f using the permit to ship his own illegally packed as well as the illegally packed of others ‘during the two years.

Confirms Testimony

Another feature of the day's sit- ting was the evidence of Herbert Fraser, Alberton South fisherman who corroborated the testimony giv- en Tuesday by lVirs. Bessie Kinch that illegal lobster packing had been carried on last year in 50X ranches. Mr. Fraser assuming the responsibility of the allegation and said he had packed lobsters dur- log the closed season last year lu- side his fox ranch and he did not deny the statement of Mrs. Klnch that she had seen him talking with Patrol boat Capt. Howard Arsenault at his front gate while illegally caught lobsters were being bofled in his ranch, although he could not recall the incident,

Howard Clark, local agent for M00011 Frontenac Oil Company- Limited, said the statement made by David smith at Summerside. when the Commission sat there E few weeks ago, that he had given Clark five vases of 111981113’ 939k"! lobsters to credit the proceeds oi’ hi5 account was not flmllleiihfl‘ correct, his records showing that $120.00 had been credW/ed t0 th? account of Smith. this being the proceeds of the sale oi five cases of lobsters that he did not know whether or not the lobsters were illegally packed. He had accept- ed them in good faith and assumed that they were some of the Spring pack. He said he very seldom ac- cepted lobsters on ncrvunt and discouraged the practice.

Five witnesses testified bofon‘ the Commissioner. Mr. Justice A. T. LcBlzmc of the Kim's Bench Diwsion 0' the New Brunswick Supreme Court hcrc ycfiierdfly prior to adjournment and invest!- gation will continue this morning.

REPLIES CALMLY

ta

Eden calmly answered by ex- pressing tlic Government's readi- liess to contribute in bringing the

illyillg to a statement by Siticlnir, Eden said that if British strips lleld up ill French ports with food for Bilbao decided to proceed to Bilbao despite warnings, the navy would afford protection up to the three-mile limit. He expressed the hope, however, the ships would not do so.

The Opposition bitterly attacked the Government. for its policy of refusing to convoy foodstuffs through the blockade to the capi- tal of the autonomous Basque Pro- vlnce.

Eric-ll said:

"I am not greatly lll0\f‘(i by charges of cowardice and white- fealliol‘ which have bccii made upon this Government.

"The Foreign Sccrntai'_v' of this

country is responsible not. for his life but fortlie lives of millions of people. “Iii my view. an act of coward- ice would be if, in order to scorc solnc cheap success. lit‘ was to run risks of damaging peace which ivrere not Justified by the sittiat- on.’

(‘ENSURE MOTION

The censure motion, presented by Clement Attica, lender of the opposition, called ltpou the Hotlsc to deplore "the fnllurc of l-lis Ma- jesty's Government to give protec- tion to merchant ships on their lawful occasions." t Eden. calm and solf-asstlred m; lie rose to reply, declared the de- bate ivos founded upon misappre- hensiotv-that Britain would not grant belligerent rights tn one side without. according them to both. Early in the Spanish conflict, he said, the Spanish Government had declared the Insurgent-held ports in Spanish Morocco, the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands to be a ivor zone—w'l1ich was accept- ed by Britain.

Eden asserted this was on exact parallel with the situation at Bil- so.

Approve of Action

During his answer, ill‘ produced a telegram from the Shipowncrs’ Parliamentary Committee which said it was not dissatisfied with the Government's action on the Bilbao situation.

In the midst of the Foreign Secretary's speech. Attlec inter- Jectcd the cry: “We're ncqlllesclng in the sinking of British ships by mines without warning."

Eden replied:

“On this occasion, the Govern- ment is not granting rights to two parties as itdid in the American clvtl war but what. it has done is to lay down the present principles of non-intervention."

He announced the discussion oi’ a scheme for withdrawal of for- ti!!! volunteers from Spain would
