as the relief had to be paid now

by provinces or municipalities.

Rrierring io the dismissal of re- , turned men for partisanship, Mr. I Steven‘. said it was up to the Min- llster to see that his fellow war ' veterans got a square deal. He had never known as gfflring an iii- stance of unfair partisan dismissal.

He had fought against such act- iorr; throughout his career in Par- liament, Mr. Stevens said. HQ agreed there had been glaring in- istance» under Conservative as well as Liberal Governments.

The Government. should investi- gate the Prince Edward Island in- cident and correct the wrongs done.

In brief the recommendation of the war veterans assistance com- mission was that unemplvyed 9X" soldiers, who served in the actual theatre of war and who are not otherwise being cared for by the Department of Pensions, would be paid additional sums up to $5 l

The same treatment was reques- ted for imperial soldiers who came to Canada prior to 1930. Of this last recommendation the Minister said it was “the acme of imperial jiiigoirm." There was no reason imperial veterans who came w Canada. since the war should be treated differently than born Can- adians who were unemployed. With respect to the first recom- mendation Mojor Power said it would not apply in larger cities where relief rates were high. ‘ The commission estimated the cost at $1,000,000 a year and sug- gested it be only tempomry- I'M Minister said it would be difficult to end, once started, and the cost would reach nearer $10,000,000 an- nually.

Bitter disappointment at; the stand taken by the Minister “'88 voiced by Howard Green (Cons. Vancouver South). apd by C. G. MacNeil (COP-Vancouver North) while other members had uitlcism to offer but less pronounced.

A. W. Neill (Ind. Comox-Alberni) came to the rcscuc of the Minister who he said had for 15 years been fighting for the war xeterans.

"Long experience in dealing with the returned soldier problem I think has taught all of us here that Once the door is opened there is n0 closing it," said the Minister.

"Does anybody believe that the cx-soldlers in Toronto. Winnipeg and Calgary and in other cities would not say ‘what am I going to get out. o! this?’ Immediately there would be reiterated demands ex- tremely difficult of refusal by pol- iticiarts, that all soldiers of the country be made wards of the Fed- eral Government.

“Again I repeat that as yet this principle has not been accepted by any government. I am asked to say deiinitely, clearly and formally what my stand is on this question -and my answer is no.

"Bo long as I remain Minister of Pensions in this Government I can- not and will not recommend to my colleagues that service alone-and however you put it that is what the recommendation amounts tor-shall cuablish a. claim 011 the Canadian people for special treatment be- yond that givcn ordinary civilians.

For the pensions the House is asked to vote $41,500.000 this year, and for war veterans‘ assistance $4,- HOILOOO, while there is s. vote of $2,600,000 to bc paid in relief to pensioners.

On the statutes of Canada there was already, Major Power said, :uii" flout legislation to permit cve._v man injured iii service to Canada to get “that to which he is entitled according to the ordinary

rules of common, everyday jus- tlce." In Qucbcc and other provinces

Division Fence Act

On motion of Hon. Mr. Dennis the House went into committee with Mr. Stcurart in the chair on the Division Fence Act_

The promoter explained that the bill was a. consolidation of the present Act and amendments thcrcio. A few minor changes were being introduced on the rec- ommendation of the agricultural committee.

Sec. 2 of the bill provides that the height of line fences shall be four and a half fcct. Aftcr 0. good deal of discussion, an am- endment reducing the height to four feet was defeated 5-12 and the original section carried on the same division.

Sec. 7 was amended after dis- cussion to include barbed wireline fences, but only by mutual con- sent of adjoining property own- ers, which consent would be bind- ing on subsequent owners.

Sec. 9 provides for payment of fence viewers at the rate of one dollar a day, to be paid equallyby adj0ii1ing_owners or occupiers, and for n. penalty of five dollars a day for neglect of duties.

Mr. Savillc protested‘ that the amount was altogether too small. "I wonder," he said, "what those gentlemen who administer the Farmers Creditors’ Act would say to such a rntc of remuneration."

Mr. Mclsuac snid that in his ten 1.19am’ experience as fence viewer he rcccivcd just one dollar for his services, nnd that was just enough to pay his dog tax. He thought the fence payment. should be 05 a day, with a fine of one dollar a dlty for neglect of duty.

Premier Campbell thought the payment should be the some as witness fees-W a day and mile- age one way. The section, after further discussion, was amended in accord with this suggestion.

On motion of Mr. Hughes the foliowlng section ivus added to the bill: "When land is surrounded on

The bill was reported agreed to

Prohibition Act

On motion of Premier Campbell the House resumed committee reading with Mr. Stewart in the chair on the Prohibition Act.

See. 40, providing that “nothing herein contained shall preventany brewer, distiller or other person duly licensed by the Government of Canada." efc. from “keeping or having liquor manufactured by him in any building wherein such manufacture is carried on, provid- ed such building does not contra- vene the provisions of sec. 41 hereof or from selling liquor there- from to a. person in another pro- vince where such sale may belaw- fully made or in a foreign coun- try or to a. wholesale vendor un- der this Act."

Premier Campbell: “I may say that there has apparently been something of n. surprise to mem- bers of this committee as well as the press and public that ourPro- hibttion Act contains certain clauses permitting brewemdlstillers, ware- htusemen and other manufactur- ers of alcoholic liquors to carry on their manufactures in this prov- ince and to store liquor for ‘the purpose of export only. The rea- son for the inclusion of those clauses in the Act is simply to protect the validity of the Act and limit the jurisdiction oi’ the Pro- vincial Legislature; because ft was thought, and in fact was held by the Supreme Court of the prov- ince that if the Provincial Legis- lature passed an Act prohibiting the possession of _ liquors, they would, by implication, unless some definite exceptions were introduc- ed, prohibit: interprovinclal trade. So for that reason a. considerable number of clauses. of which we have reserved consideration-sec- tions 40. 41. 65. B8 and HIE-were introduced to make it clear that this Act was not intended to in- terfere with interprovincial trade, and brewers, distillers, manufact- urers, and warehouseme might under certain conditions manu- facture or keep liquor within the province if it was clearly intended only for export to other provinces‘ of Canada. This situation held for some time. until 1922, when it was brought to the attention of the Legislature that the provisions of the Canada Temperance Act Drovlded for the calling of apleb- iscite, and that on the passing of the plebiscite the Dominion Gov- ernment might prohibit the im- portation of liquor into the prov- ince. On the 24th of April, i922, a. resolution was moved by Hon. John H. Bell. leader of theHouse, seconded by Hon. George E. Hugh- ES. requesting the Dominion Gov- ernment to take a plebisc inths province on the questio. of the import into the province of intox- icating liquors. That plebiscite was taken by the Dominion Govern- ment oii the 29th of January, 1928, and the votes at that time in the affirmative were 9,685, and in the negative 3,576. Pursuant to that a proclamation was issued by the Dominion Government which de- clared that ‘the keeping of intox- icating llquor in the province of Prince Edward Island for export, and the exportation of intoxicat- ing liquor therefrom by persons other than brewers and distiller-s duly licensed by the Government of Canada shall be and the 51mg is hereby forbidden from and af- ter the 31st day of August, 1923,’ That became the law of the prov- incc by virtue of a proclamation of the Govemor-Genersl-in-Coim- cil. All that this province could and did do was to request the Dominion Government to hold a plebiscite. You will notice that there is still the exception of brewers and dlstillers licensed by the Government of Canada. Ap- parently they may still manufac- ture beers or spirits in this prov- ince for export only, to other pug, of Canada and the world. But by this Act the importation and ex. portation of any other liquor into or out of the province is prob“)- itcd by this proclamation. Itseems to me that it would be clsngero for us to omit from the Prohibit- ion Act any of the sections w which I have referred. The Sup- reme Court of this province has given judgment which by implica- tion makes necessary the presence of some such provision in our Act. In order to make it doubly clear that there is no change or addit- ional latitude intended to be con-

ferred on such operators. I would '

move that the following sections pass as they are-sections 40, 11, 45. 85, 88 and 102, and that the following be inserted l8 section

"All sections of this Act dealing with the legality of brewerlu. dil- tillerles. bonded msnuflctuterusx- port warehouses,’ and intervenin- cial transactions and particularly (but without restricting the gou- erality hereof) the following osc- tions. namely. sections ll, 41. 45 (subsections l, 2, and S) 85. M. 182. shall be reul and construed

merely u . ntinulng the luv! In force in this province at the time of the posing of this Act. and do- fining the limits of the legislative jurisdiction of the province. and shall by no moans be Interpreted an extending any rights not here- tofore valid In this province under the law of this province or the law of the Dominion of Canada; nor shsllfiuch oeetlnns or any part of this Act he held in any wise to derogsta from the force or valid- ity of u resolution pissed by the Leg‘ " Assembly of this prov- ince on the 24th day of April, A.D. 1922. requesting the Government of 3 Canada to tale s. plebiscite on the ‘ following question. that h to say: ‘That the Importation and the bringing of intoxicating liquors In- to the Province of Prince Edward Island may be forbidden‘; nor ‘from the force or validity ol any I proceedings, enactments or procla- Imatlons made by the Parliament =of Canada or by the Governor- ‘| Gcneral-ln-Councll in pursuance oi’ {the said Resolution."

"I move that as section 165."

Mr. Wright said he had readin The Guardian today the letter that. appeared yesterday by Mr. W. E. Bentley, K.C_. Mr. Bentley had long been associated with the Prohibition Act. rile had made the statement that the clauses refer- red to were absolutely unneces- sary. . Premier Campbell: “Not all of them. Just the ones about export."

Mr. Wright: “I would like an explanation from the Premier as to why he does not agree with Mr. Bentley in that regard. There are other things I do not understand. The Premier referred to the fact that there was an exception made with regard to brewers and dis- tillers. Do I understand that they are permitted to operate notwith- standing any law we may make?"

Premier Campbell: "I take it that is the effect, if manufactured solely for export, and kept in warehouses, free from any prov- incial contact."

Mr. Wright: “Have we not pow- er to prohibit the manufacture of beer and wines 1n this province?"

Premier Campbell: "No. I may say that since the committee rose yesterday I had an opportunity of spending a considerable time with Mr. Bentley, whose views on the subject are entitled to considerable deference owing to the fact that he drafted the original Act and was familiar with the amendments which were made. I don’t say that I don't agree with his view... He may be right; But I think wc could preserve an abundance of precautions by including the sec- tions. His suggestion that some of the scctionsmlght be eliminat- ed did not refer to the brewers or distlllers at allf only to the export warehouses. I think the simplest thing is to retain them all,"

Mr. Savillc: "The wolf is still Ln the Act, but. he is pretty well caged. I have confidence in the Premier to believe that he will not let him g0. For that reason I withdraw my objection to those clauses on the understanding that it will be wise to have something dons with them another year. I think everybody in this House, whether we believe in Govern- ment Control or Prohibition-that we are all united in one thing; we want to curtail the sale of liquor. I honestly think that if brewing is permitted in this province, or wholesale liquor houses, it would extend the sale of liquor, and I think that as far as this Legislat- ure has power to deal with it, we ought to have the Act made as strong as possible."

Mr. Barbour: “This section 44 f2) which deals with brewers and distillcrs that may be licensed by the Dominion Government to op- erate in this province-it would be very necessa y to have that sec- tion in because we have no juris- diction over it. But the sections dealing with the liquor warehous- es. I think, should all be cut out. Previous to taking the vote in 1922 we had liquor warehouses in this province. We had three of them here in Charlottetown. Part 4 of the Canada Temperance Act pro- vided legislation tonssist provin- ces that had a Prohibition Act. After the vote was taken prohib- iting the importation of liquor into this province; those ware- houses hsd to stop doing busin- ass. 1f we leave this section in, we would make it legal again for a was house to begin to operate here. 0f course this last section may prevent it, but I think it would be better to cut: those sec-

itions out altogether." Premier Campbell: "I cannot see .

It safely that way. because without those sections our provriicial Act is iiwalid. It ls true those ware- houses have been prohibited. but by the Dominion Government-not the Provincial Government. If we do not. leave those sections in I am iiifrifld the Supreme Court will dc- clare the act ultra. vires again.

'I‘hi,g special provision has been there for the last fourteen years. at. the same time those sections have remained there."

, Mr. Barbour: “Was it not before

Premier Campbell: "These sec- tions were inserted that same ‘year; the sums session of the Ine- iislature which passed the resolu- .tion asking the Dominion to take I the piebiscih posed tress sections. ‘Of course 1 see Mr. Bentley's , point of view, but his is only an o- : pinion, and he admit; himself that

Hon. Mr. IePage: "I think the temperance people and all people in this Province ought to feel quite satisfied that this Govern- ment has done everything possible to assst in framing this new Act- consclldating it, I should say- without leaving any loopholes or ainything that anyone would ques-

Mr Wright: “I am pzrfcrtly ‘satisfied after having the expla- nation of the Premier.

I ‘wish in th’s public way to again aiflflrm my position as a lemf-‘erance man in opposition to any effort that might be made in this Province to increase consump- tion of alcoholic liquors, and to ex- press at this time my utter confi- denoe in our Premier and Attorney General in the way he has entfor- ced our Prohibition Act. in the past.

The amendment was then car- ried.

Other sections, previously held over, were reconsidered. A sched- ule tForm 12) was struck out.

The motion was then put that the b'1l carry as a whole.

_ Trainer: “You had better save your speech for the Budget."

Mr. MacPliee: "I think if. is very important to say that the Act has turned out so very much different from what we expected two or three months ago. I refer to’ the broadcasting about our Govern- ment going to put Prohibition out and bring in an Act of Govern. merit Control. There is no doubt that anyone interested in the Gov- ernment would be affectedbyfhat. I have been asked many time: what is the attitude of the Gov- ernment-"Are you going to tin-ow away Prohibition and give usGov- eminent Control rIBht-or wrong?" One man said, "I believe you have about eighteen members who would vote for Gov- ernment Control". I said as far as I know I think you could turn it the other way. anyway; perhaps more. I am glad,to say that this lms turned out very very diner- ent to tlic surmising and prophe- sylng that has been made former- ly. I am glad that. we have mem- bers sitting around this House who don't do things without asking people in the democratic way. 1 sm proud of the Premier. I could never tell the public, really. whe- ther the Premier was really sin- cere in this matter but I am glad to say that. with all we have seen in caucus we have more than con- fidence in him so far as the en- forcement of the Prohibition Act is concerned. I am proud of all the members. If anyone has made a suggestion for a. change they have said they would never ssk it. until the people gave a decision."

Hon. Mr. Allen: "I think these remarks are very timely. I think if a. lot of those who were agitat- ing for Govcmmcnt Control would spend their time in working at. their own jobs, it would be I whole lot better for them and ev- ery member of the House. I 0nd as s rulenths, ones who are the backbone of the province are the ones who are really endesvoring to comply with the law. We should not be carried away with any of I those so-called agitation: from

ones who are not as responsible ‘as they should be, I would sup- iport the remarks made by the member from New Hdven, partic- ularly in connection with the Pre- mier of the province."

Premier Campbell: "Before mov- ing that the Speaker take the chair I would like to give to the caucus s summary of procedural changes made in consolidation of the Act. ‘There are three such procedural changes. as follows:
