Probably it was the wisdom of sny hon. friend from Murray Harbour-that swayed the caucus. but we _-k_ncw ..v'vhat happened. Prince Edward Isfandacted dlffc.. ently to any other Province in this matter." .

'Mr. Csmpbeili "Why we?" ° , Dr. MacMillauz. "M-y hon. friend emulates his loader now, because he thinks he has got a monopoly of _brsirls and wisdom. Some of my hon. friends on the other side of‘ the House will hover be accused of having‘ any inferiority com- plex."

Mr. Campbell: "I am lust not sure whether there isn't an in- stnustlon in that remark, but I want to say that I snr not in- duced to speak by my leader ,or anyone else. If I was as good to- day as I was one time, do you know what I would do? If 1 had men enough to do it I would have

one into that plant and I would

ave cleaned the JVllOltt thing out."

Dr. MscMillsn: "It becomes plain, Mr. Speaker, that they made a mistake in the selection of a Controller." (Daughter).

He recalled that some years ago a packing plant had been estab- lished at Saint John, of which’ he understood tho hon. member for Bedeque was a director. “What happened,to that outfit? I rhink therowss nearly $200,000 invested from this Province, snd I under- stand that it was nearly all lost."

Hon. Mr. Wright said he was not s director of the company refer- Ibdltfl.

Dr- MacMilIan: "Do you know who was the director in 1927? It does not matter, because the end result was that the money was lost. The bonds were guaranteed by the Government of NewBruns- wick, and when the thing failed I understand the Government look- ed after themselves, so that they made good the guarantee of their loss. What was the attitude of the meat psckerspfor instance the Harris Abattoir and the swift Company of Oan-ada. at that time? This was a. Maritime concern try-

shouldn't

- ing to do business. Every day thc

price for meat in Saint John was set in Toronto at sucll a low fig- ure that thls Maritime company was soon thrown out of business and thc whole thing was a loss on the part of those who invested in good faith.

“I understand with regard to this local packing plant that the dividends. despite what acme people tell us. are very consider- able and I hope that the int-im- ation given us by the controller will be borne out, and that this Province will not be the loser.

Legal Action?

"So far as the Opposition is concerned, we would have been pleased to have sat in at an enl- ergency session, which should have been called very quickly; but we were left out.. There is grave doubt as to whether the Govern- ment acted legally or not, and , whether they are not liable to an action at the present time, all of

While 829.225 ions were produced ‘which could have been avoided."

Premier Jon cs: "Action by whom? Who would bring the ao- tton?" . .

_ Dr. MacMillan: “Ii I were an lntermtcd party I might bring it- myself."

Premier Jones: "Against whom. the Government”,

l -Dr- MacMlllar-r: "Your position. Mr. Premier, is not very logical. You say, ‘We took it over; what are you goingjo do about it?’ In many of the Canadian Provinces the Government can be sued now. ‘without hsving to obtain the Gov- ernment's permission. If 1 am not greatly mistaken. that may be- .comc a universal rule in British Domlnions. What I am pointing out is, what ‘is going through the Canadian press today. You have struck s blow at the rights of free men to organise into unions. It. ls all right to say that the unions will be autonomous; but that very word is the death-note of union- isrn 1f it. is going to live up to its name.

Weather Ship In iialiiax For Repairs

l

HALIFAX, March l8 —- (C?) -—- Cunarlafs weather ship, H.M.C.S. St. Stephen, docked here today with slight damages sustained from heavy seas. during B "5ll°I‘l-" lW° weeks at sea.

The converted frigate tied up at the naval wharves with a cracked hull plate, the result of sea and ice battering during two voyages. Lieut. Harry Shorten oi Calgary said the Ste. Stephen had a “touchy" few minutes when she dashed through a gap in the mile- wide ice field surrounding the Hon- duran-freightcl- Everugra near Hal- ifax. The ice-breaker Snllrel was unable to penetrate the heavy ice and the St. Stephen dashed through n gap spotted by an air-sea rescue plane.

The St. Stephen was en route to her weather station midway be- tween Greenland and Labrador when She received en S 0 S March 6 from ‘the freighter, trapped in an ice pack 15D miles off the Nova Scotia coast. .

After the St. Stephen had towed Irveragra to safety the job of bringing her to Halifax was taken over by thc tug Grenadier and the St. Stephen proceeded on her way. When it was discovered that water was seeping into a compart- ment from a cracked hull plate as- tern, tile weather ship was order- ed back to port for repairs.

In addition to these pieces, in response to hearty applause by the large audience, which filled the hnll to overflowing, Miss Pauiee sung “Comirf Through the Rye", “l-labanero" from Carmen, "Rolin' in the Dew" an Old English Bal- lad, "None But the Lonely Heart", Tschaikowskl, “Smiling Through", "0 Dear, What Can t Matter Be?" "Ixlok, Edwin",- an "Slim- mertime" from “Porgy and Bess". Mr. Holt played "A Russian Polka" by Thchaikowski, "Flight of the Bumble Bee" and Debussys "Clair de Lune".

It may be said of Miss Paulee that she has a strong Mezzo-Sup- rono voice of great range and dramatic quality. This quality she used to advantage in the operatic selections, and also in the Respighi Ballata. It was also gory marked in the Erl King-perhaps, indeed to some it might seem a little too marked. But it was ln the French songs—and very lovely songs they were too, that Miss Patrice delin- itely excelled. And with good rea- son, for French was the tongue she spoke as u child. Of these, the Massenet Aria, "LIntruse" and the merry little chanson “Nicolette“. were particularly appealing. The modern English songs with which Miss Paulee concluded her pro- gramme were also much enjoyed hy the audience.

Mr. H0lt_is a very fine pianist. and his playing was greatly liked. His accompaniments to Miss Pau- lee's songs were particularly sym- pathetic-a token. it might be guessed, of a most happy 001111-1881 association. also exhibited, one understands. in his expert piloting of the aeroplane in willch the couple customarily travel to fulfill- thelr engagements.

during the course of last year gave "he lwopletounscretsnd tnatbehsd ‘another enlilim dollars to play with.’ They got the million doi- lars, and they did play with it; but how much better off are we today?

--“Now that; the provincial elect. Ion ll over. the Premier comes back and declares that those re- sponsible for the expenditures had better retrench and reform, because there is no more money! "There are certain expenditures, however. which must be made, Where is the going to got the mon- ey for rural electrification, for regional high schools, for the Min- ister bf Public Works and High-

ways to follow out his program, for social services, and for the proper Aeveloplnent of Falcon-

All necessary to bring this Province up to sci-nothing near the standard oi the other Provinces. ls the money going to come from this Province? Can you put any (more taxes on our people? There are only two sources of revenue open to ud-through taxation on

recourse to the Federal Govern- ment. This is'the most important

tention of this Legislature, and-it brings us back to til-la days Confederation."

Dr. Macmillan recalled that at Confederation the Provinces were promised, in exchange for giving up certain revenues. that they

tent that there need be no resort to direct taxation. By 1894. how- ever, this Province had to adopt direct taxation, it being the second Province in Canada to levy an income tax. "From that point down to the present it has been tax, tax. tax. The bargain of Con- federation has never been irn- pic-merited."

The Opposition leader reviewed at length the findings of the Dun- can and White Commissions with respect to Maritime claims, also the Provinces special claim for tfl-ZSOABS for being the only land- less Province. quoting from briefs prepared under both Liberal and Conservative governments.

Cites Premier's Brief

Expressing surprise at the man- ner ln which the Premier had re- ferred to the question of fiscal need in ‘his Budget speech, Dr. MacMillan went on to cite passages from the brief presented by the Premier at tllre Dominion-Provinc- ial conference on taxation, in which Vfiscal need was strongly emphasized. “If it was important then," he asked, ."why not now?" Reviewing other points in the Premier's brief at the Ottawa con- ference, Dr. MacMillan said these arguments constituted a plain in- dictment of the neglect and mis- treatment accorded to this Island by the Dominion Government. The brid pointed out that previous to the wartime tax agreements, the subsidies for Prince Edward Is- land were more (than three times the per capita average for all Can- ada. It also maintained that a subsidy of at least three million dollars annually was required to allow "even a measure of what is envisaged” in the Government's budgetary proposals.
