volcg ces and Western Canada from thei

Both .\lr. ‘Ilielghen and Senator Robertson struck a new note when they gave some indication of their views of the situation. Mr. Melgh- en predicted that the Liberals would lose heavily in the Maritim- es, and that the Conservatives would gain ‘perhaps thirty seats in Quebec. There was no possibility oi a ‘Liberal Government functioning without the assistance of the Pro- gressives "ifor in the next parlia- ment, there are certainly going to bc‘ fewer Liberals."

"indications are bhat they will have to rciy on the Progressives more than ever.“ the ‘Conservative Leader asserted.

Again lion. G. D. ‘Robertson. who followed Mr. Melghen, pointed to cetrtalu things which. he thought. indicated a reversal of sentiment from the last cliectlon. it was the general belief that Premier Dun- niing. of Saskatchewan. had ‘been Invited ‘to join "the government, but

sections of the'Domlnion to gel, their products into the world‘ markets. The Conservxative Leader said) it was the-habit of Liberal leaders; to contend that the tariff was of little interest to the Maritime Pro-. viuces. i This was not the case. The: Maritime Provinces were vltallyin-i forested in the tariff. and the far-i mers of Prince Edward island: were gravely affected by the fiscal‘ policy of the government.

in which the prosperity of Austra- lia after the adoption of a protec- tive tariff. was stressed.

“If Australia needs a protective tariff. what about the. need of Canada?" Mr. Meigilen queried. Australia, situated in the South- ern Seas. had no close rival but New Zealand. Canada. on the other hand. lay alongside an "industrial

few dollars Canada's'young men and women could move across the line. and the bars which were up against European immigrants. were down to Canadafis children.

Mr. Meighen dealt with the com- piaint of Premier King that in his speeches he (Mr. Melghen) had said the Government spent $3,800.- 000 on getting immigrants to come to Canada last year.

"Mr. King says that one million of this amount was spent for the “Iemhley Exhibition.” said the Conservative leader.

"Well, what if it was?" he asked. Surely one of the objects of the Wombiey Exhibition was to obtain Immigrants for Canada. But. at any rate, he had simply quoted the official figures of the Govern- ment, said Mr. Meighen. “lf it will please him any more. l will make it $2,800,000, said the speak- er, but he emphasized the state- ment that the figures given were the ofllclal figures covering immi- gration expenditures.

"There is no country in the world with a Sales Tax like oure." Mr. Meighen said, in stating that (‘lan- ada suffered from high taxation. Mr. King might say that he had reduced the Sales Tax. but the speaker warned the audience that the decrease had come only after ihs Government had increased the tax to six per cant.

For the next. speeches in tho main followed along ‘line-s already laid down.

liir. Mel-ghen denied reports that be favored higher freight rates for any section of Canada and accus- vd ‘the goveruiusut with iticreaaing‘ the debt. '

The Conservative Leader speaks at Amherst today.

J. D. Stewart, Premier of Prince Edward island presided. He point- ed out that the policy of Mr. Ar- thur Meighen in 1921 and now. was "the same i'or Canada and ev- ery part of Canada." The people oi Canada had come through “iourl years of government. or attempted government“ under Mr. Mackenzie King. Mr. King was "n leader without the quality of leadership". who had directed "a government without a settled policy."

"But the water looks cold to Mr. Dunning, and he isn‘t coming," said the speaker. Hon. W. R. Mother- well, Minister of Agriculture, was not going to contest his former Regina seat, but was leaving it for the new seat of Meiport. Two pro- minent Western Progressives. Hon. G. A. Crerar and R. A. Hoey, were not going to run at all. There did not seem to ‘be a great alacri-

porters to enter the fight. Senator Robertson discussed the transportation problem. in her two railways Canada had about two and a quarter billions. These

railways existed to carry the com--

merce of Canada. But if the trade of Canada decreased. the business of the railways decreased, And Canada's trade was decreasing to such an extent that there were now 20.000 fewer railway employ- ees here than there were four years‘ ago. ’

“The contraction in trade and resultant decrease in traffic is re- sponsible for the railway situation" said the speaker. ,

The solution of the problem lay in an increased tariff. said Senator Robertson. To the farmers he spoke of the large quantities of American farm products whlch.he said, entered this country to com- pete with Canadian farm products. While the United States put on an tariff against

ln December 0th, 1924 a conven- tion was held in Charlottetown for the nomination of candidates to contest Queens County in the fed- eral elections, which are now in progress. There was an usually large and enthusiastic (gathering at which a splendid harmony pre- vailed. and indicated in 'no uncer- tain way the encouraging strength and influence of the Conservative party in the good old riding of Qiieerns. A>t this convention Messrs Donald McKlnnon, K. 0., and John

getic, generous, and valuable sup- porter.

There is a ‘general feeling of op ilmism in Conservative circles, not only here. as evinced by the con- ventions held during the year in Charlottetown, East and West Prince, but in every part of Can- ada, where the electorate are turn- ing with disgust from Liberal mis- goremment and placing the reins of government in the hainds of Conservatives as rapidly as op p rtunity offers.

We also ‘today welcome the Right Hon. Arthur Melghen. our dls‘tin- girlshed leader. to our Province. and feel assured that the message he brings will be an encourage- ment and a stimulus to the poli- tical life and energy of our party.
