Predicts

Which Believes

A provincial election late in July, resulting the defeat oi the Lea Gov-I einrnent, is predicted by the Mon- treal Standard in a leading new: ar- ilrle dated Msyizo. The article ful- own.

“Canada's smallest province, pro- verbially iickie in its political favors inasmuch ea it rarely grants eitier major political party two successive terms of offlce. is already in the throes of a general election campaign. However, bsliottirig is not expect- ed to take place until some time late in July.

Prince Edward Island's Govern- ment, one of the two remalnlnil Lib- eral administrations ln the Domin- ion, is obliged to take the plunge in a year of depression desrrte any inclination government supporters might have to wait for better times. The die is cast in Prince Edward Island in view oi the four sessions of Provincial Legislature already held. This, despite the fact that ‘coders ,0! Governments at this time are not keen to face the electorate. Busin- .ess generally is still depressed. and [the resultant political unrest has created a situation more favorable to the critical "outs" than to the re- sponsible "ins." one feature of the forthcoming campaign, however, will be that unemployment has stalked in Prince Edward Island to s for smaller degree than in any other Canadian province.

The Island legislature, st the time oi prorogation recently, comprised 22 Liberal members and 6 Conservative members, ,with two vacancies creat- ed by a resignation on either side to provide candidates ior last July's Federal election. ‘Do win a majority in the forthcoming Provincial sex-mi election the Opposition must make heavy Iliru from the Government. but desplh the lundiolll. politic-l observers expect the Govcrnmflll '0 be overthrown.

f (clllldllh Press)

OTTAWA, Ont, May 2i-A storm blew up in the House of Commons today on expenditures of money in‘ New Brunswick under the unemploy- ment relief plan. His remarks brok- en by a stream oi interruptions, Hon. P. J. Veniot, former Liberal Post- msster-General, declared that iive or six supervisors had admitted wrongdoing before the provincial royal commission in New Brunswick examining into the expenditure of money on roads and bridges in that province. These men, he allegedwere

in the provincial employ in connec- tion also with monies expended] through the Dominion unemploy.-, merit scheme. Mr. veniot charged that a. defeated Conservative can- didate in the 1080 provincial election had been a bridge superintendent in oounectic with a bridge built by the province near Bathurst. N. B. This man was given credit on the pay shoots for ten hours work per day st the rate of sixty cents an hour. The worlnnen under him. however. only worked eight hours. Mr. Ven- iot wanted the Department of Labor to obtain from the Department of Public Works in New Brunswick certified pay shuts on monies ex- ; ‘ ‘ under the Dominion unem- ployment plan. He wanted an in- vestigation on receipt of these pay sheets. lie would provide the names of those appearing on the requested pay sheets into whose cases he want- ed investigation.

'

A general huh-hub developed when Mr. Smith and Mr. Veniot engaged in cross-chamber verbal dueiling on past political history in New Bruns- wick. When Minister of Public works in New Brunswick, Mr. Veniot refused to pennit judges or lawyers to conduct investigations. Mr. Smith declared. in one investigation it had been found that 8 year old boys were on the government payroll and men had confesed to drawing money all season when they had done no work. Yet Mr. Veniot. it was charged through legislation immunized them from making restitution. This drew further denials from the former postmssterfieneral. who took the floor on a point of order.

MADRID. May 21—It was learned authoritatively that negotiation:

concerning the papal note to Mad- rid over the recent anti-church vio- lence in Spain have prevented the Spanish ambassador, Louis Zuleta, so far from presenting his credentials to the Holy See. The strictest diplo- matic secrecy still is observed con- cerning the contents of the note. Cardinal Segura, primate of Spain who fled the country, was reported today to have been called to the Vatican as an advisor to the Pop! on Spanish affairs and these reports
