guc of Nations, though in the sug- gdition 0f an American they were first held as Interstate contests, The first contest was held in 1024. and in the following year, 1925, nearly every state sent candidates.

Then it became fully international, and this year 22 nations are partl- Clllfiting. Last year the contest was won by a. French youth and a Can- adian was third. This yzrir we hop: a Canadian will be iirst—and that Canadian a Prince Edward Islander. He traced the lncepdioncci the idea in Canada, and congratulated The Guardian on its efforts in the inat- ter. He could not always agree with The Guardian he said (laughter) but in this matter he was in hearty ag- reement. l

He ngnin expressed the hope that an "Islander would be successful in the Canadian Finals, and win the trip to Europe.

The speeches of the contestants were interspersed with a delightful programme of music, consisting of vocal solos by Miss Lucy Blanchard, who was accompanied by Mrs. Byron Brown, and planosolos by Master Horace MacEwcn. The renditions of both artists were much enjoyed and heartily encored. v

At this contest, seven contestants who represented the schools and col- leges in the Charlottetown district. delivemi their orations after the re- maining fpur Queens County Contes- tants had spoken. _

At the close of the programme, Rev. Dr. Genge paid a high tribute to the country schools and the teachers, as well as to the contestants for dc- iivering orations which might make many oi our politicians drop their heads in shame.

The resources we have are notours; they were placed here by God. The claim we must lay to them is that of a splendid manhood and woman- hood. - I The United States is a great coun- try not because of her people, but by reason of her climatic conditions. But we will be a great country by reason of our people. And tonight that note has been struck very forcibly by the contestants.

The vote of thanks ivas secondrd by Mr. R. C. Parent in a few well chosen words.

The chairman then tendered tho vote of thanks to the contestants, and presented them with tho prizes of $5.00 each they had won at the school contests.

Mcanwhile, the judges had cast their ballots, which were duly exam- ined and collected by the scrutineers, and the results were announced by the Chairman as sccn as the prizes had been distributed. '

Policy of - Conservative Party Is Announced By Premier Baldwin.

(Special to the Guardian)

LONDON, April l9.—With the an- nouncement of the Conservative el- ections program by Premier Baldwin today, the policies oi all three polit- ical parties are before the electors who have until May 30 to decide which they wish to‘ trust with the reins of -po\ver.

Those who expected Mr. Baldvrl". to commit his party to startling pro- posals, and those who expected him to take up the challenge levelled at Great Britain's war debt. settlements with her European allies by Rt. Hon. Philip Snowde . on behalf of the Le- bor party. were disappointed. The Premier pointed with pride to the record of his government in nursing trade back to normal, empire devel- opment and assistance to industry. He declared the Conservative party was not a party-of promisers, but a party of performers, and said Right ‘Hon. David Lloyd George was wel- come to cull the liberal party the “party of promise."

Mr. Baldwin called attention to the benefits industry would derive under the devoting scheme, designed to reIievFit of burdensome local tax- ation amounting to between $100,- 000,000 and $150,000,000 annually. I-le also forecast new social legislation in promistng the extension of mater- nity old and improvement in child welfare service.

ALBANY. N. Y1. April 19.— More than 100 vessels, carrying cargo valu- ed at $3,000,000 were tied up in the barge canal today by- flood waters which poured in from melting snow and heavy rains. Rivers were rc- ported from one to four feet above normal but the heavy drainage vras cut down by the eoW-ler weather a-nd absorbed by the new snow blanket. Snow crews had highways back to normal, the state department said.

Reivrvnro \\':'is made in yesterday's Guardian ti the new ainmdmairs to .he-Pi"0hiiii;i::i A". ptsszd a; this; scssion of the Legislature. The fol-' lowing eiztsnded report of the dis- cursion in ccmmittee on the princi: pal clauses will be of interest.

The ttle 0f thebill is as follows "An Act to further amend an Ac’. to consolidate and amend the vari- ous Acts relating to the Prohibilion of intoxicating Liquors."

Clause 1 rcpeals Section 53a of the amended Act of i928 and substitutes therefor the following provision: Any person who consumes or drinks any liquors which have been obtain- cd or procured in contravention of the provisionsloi this Act shall be liable on summary conviction to a. penalty of ,not less than Ten dollars nor more than Thirty dollars and‘ in default of immediate payment of. said fine and costs, to imprisonment in the Common Jail oi the County wherein such offence shell take place foi- not iessthan ten" days noi- more than thirty days, unless the said penalty and all costs and charges and all costs of the commitment and carrying the offender to the said our: t" * " paid.

Prcni. ir-lers explained that the original sub section (passed. last yeari provided for a. penalty for the first offence of not fem thonfloo nor more than 1400, and in default o! immediate payment of said fine and costs, to jail imprisonment for not less than three months nor more than six months. and for a. second or subsequent offence toimprison- ment for not less than six months nor more than twelve months.

Why The (flange?

Dr. W, J. P. MacMillan: I suppose your change is approved of by the Minister of Prohibition. my hon.) friend from Rustico? ifridicailing Hon. Mr. lePagci, I would like to‘ ask, why the change? I would also like to ask the promoter at. this time: What is ‘the intention regarding the funds that are in the Rolwibition Commission office? There is quite an amount of money there. Does he in- tend to use tiny of it? ccause it has a bearing on who‘. I ivant to say. Premier Saunders: There has been a suggestion made. and I should soy it looks to be a reasonable proposi- tion. The policy of the Liberal party was that the money received under the Prohibition Act, should bc used iii ‘the enforcement of the Act. but if there were more funds available than was necessary to properly enforce the Act, then the price of liquor natural- ly should be reduced. I think there is a misconception as to the amoimt of money that is on hand, which is just about half oi what. was men- ‘tionctl by my lion. friends the other night-about $35,000. It would ap- pear to me that the cost of taking the plebiscite should very properly be charged up to the enforcement of the Act, as well eg extra cost of the jails. as suggested. I cannot make any definite pronouncement, because the matter has not been discussed, but I must coniem. looking at it from a reasonable standpoint. that. the would really be in keeping with the policy of our party. I cannot see any objection. and I ivcuid very well like to see this suggestion put into ei- fect. Whether it will be or not I am not going to say. So far as this special clause is concerned, we feel that. the penalty is r" or too iiidh as it stands. and the penalty has been reduced.

An Admission

Dr. MacMiiisn: Then there is some rvrrit in our criticism at times?
