sin. BERNARD nuoilas

Friday morning, Mr. Hughes said, he was amazed to sec in the Guard- ian that he was the RccQnstructLQn candidate. Canada never has en- joyed a. lasting period of prosperity due to the representatives sent to Ottawa. They themselves have been men of integrity, but their hands have been tied by the money barons of Canada.

In the past you saw no hope of- security, no future era of prosperity. but today Mr. Stevens, the man of the hour. is on the tongue of every man and woman in Canada.

Manufacturing firms in Canada have lowered their prices from 6 to 10 percent, while the farmers‘ prices have dropped 90 percent. The _Lm- ployees of some of these manifau- turers. perhaps relatives of some of the people present, have been given starvation wages. Men have been paid as low as $3.00 per weak out of which they had to pay for their food. shelter and clothing. He cited a firm which in the lowest year in the industry. paid a bonusto its di- rectors and shareholders by making the employees sweat blood. The fishermen have ‘been ground down by a few men who have the indus- try in their control. Fishermen must take the prices offered or nothing. Stevens has unearthed

ens candidates are pledged to .1 Na- tional Marketing Board, a. National Housing Scheme, to implement the Hyndrnan Report on War Veterans, Monetary Reform, Prison Lteform, Fair and equitable Tariff. ‘Tlithiri two years every man in the country will be empIoyed. The Stevens arty, without funds, but with many enthusiastic supporters, has now over 120 candidates in the field. all men who believe that Mr. Stevens is the hope and t saviour of the

paign is between the people of Can- aan and a handful of big industrial-

ma. itoaizar CONNOLLY

Mr. Stevens has shown that his chief concern is the common man, and denounces those interests who have crushed hope, said Mr. Con- noily.

For sixty years or more, Liberal or Conservative rulers have been trusted with the government. Mr. Stevens has decided that he must start over again. At 60 years of age he has left the security which ne . has earned. forsaken the ambition of a. lifetime in order to aid the people to earn a living.

Canada today is facing the first great crisis she has had to face, and if Mr. Stevens does nothing elsc. he has acted as a stop sign which may be the means of preventing destruc- tion.

Neither Mr. Bennett nor Mr. King have made a real effort to solve the problems confronting the masses.

MR. JAMES MCKEE

The reason why- so many of us are on the platform is the old ad- age, “Only an idiot never changes his mind." and on Oct. 14th tnere will not be an idiot on Prince Ed- ward Island.

During the past few years, over a million and a half young men rind women have graduated from schools and colfeges. and have not been able to find employment.

When Mr. Stevens was appointed to the Price Spreads Commission by Mr. Bennett he increased the dis- pleasure of his chief by revealing some of the evidence in an address, and later resigned his place on the Commission to champion his beliefs. He gave an instance of an :n-

In the pres- ent campaign the Ccnrervative can- didates were not notified of any meeting; until they saw the press notice. signed by officers of the Liberal Association. The Libéral candidates had not consulted Messrs Myem an)". McLur: in any way. The free exercise of the secret franchise by the electors in the coming election, Mr. McLurdde- ciared, Ls the best answer to Mu‘. Mackenzie King's allegation that Canada is under a. "dictatorship." He considered that criticism an uncalled for reflection on the pres- ent Prime Mlnister. and one which- had absolutely no foundation in fact. Mr. King in Charlottetown had made ti‘; misstatement that all third panics originated under Con- eervative . governments. Mr. McLura recalled that in 1896 the Patrons of Industry led by Hon. Duncan Marshall the present Minister of Agriculture in Ontario had been formed This party was swallowed up by the Libera‘s and Mr. Mar-

MIL EARL INGS

Mr." Stevens must have been a bright man to have handled the Price Spreads Commission. He must have been a bright man as he was looked up to by both parties. HI must have been l. bﬂghter man thln either Mr. McI-ure or Mr. My- ers for they didn't even get, a port- folio.

There are 30 bright men in the Provinca, I have nothing against them. ‘they will probably go out 30 for 00 next. time, which is what Mr. Stevens wants. The people do not want two parties, especially in the minion.

NORTH WIl/DSI-IIRE MEETING

About 80 people turned out to hear the Reconstruction Party nominees make their debut at North Wiltshire last night. The candidates. Mr. Earl Ings and Mr. Bernard Hughes were supported by J-Iarry - Richardson, Wellington Dixon, Arthur Hughes and M. J. Kelly.

Mr. Harry Richardson presided. Mr. Ings, the first speaker ex-

plained who. and how bright Hon. H. 1-1. Stevens is and how the Re- construction Party came to be formed. It originated out of the investigation iiito price spreads and mass buying- l-le denied that there is a line up of Mr. Stevens. and Mr. Bennett. If there is such a thing he is not lining up Mr. Ings maintained. He had always been a Liberal previously, he stat- ed, and had worked for them dur- ing the Provincial election cam- paign. Mr. Ings expressed dis- approvarof the party system. The Reconstruction Party hoped to put old parties aside and have a National Government.

Dealing with his partys plat- form he claimed it is nothing but the platforms of the old parties re-modelled to b: of benefit to the producer and consumer.

Premier Bennett has done fairly good up to ll certain point but he was dic‘at2d to by the money in- terests lrl St. James Street. Mr. Inns chaiged.

The speaker referred to what he called the overlapping of Federal and Provincial Government re- venues and claimed that the Re- construction Party aimed at at- tempting to remedy the situation.

‘ff some change does not come soon the masses will be lined up against the classes the speaker said in conclusion.

Mr. Harry Rlcliazdson, the next speaker also spoke llboutthe pricc spreads commission and the result of it. Dealing with the tariffs he claimed that the Governments of Canada have been pampering in- dustries.

Mr. Wellington Dixon, Secretary of the Queens County Stevens‘ Club in his speech dealt princip- ally with the banking system. 100 men control 00 per cent of the wealth of Canada, he claimed.

During his address he stated that 45 years ago tho Liberals were eected on a platform of free trade but did not implement their promises because the Liberals of Quebec were as much interested in protection as tho Conservatives of Ontario were.

Mr. Bernard Hughes the other Reconstruction candidate in be- ginning his speech claimed that Canada has never hm an en of prosperity compared to what other countries haveenjoyed.

The 19M crash was the result ‘of misgovernmo ‘ and mismanage- ment he claimed. Many of the men in the aovci-nment were lin- cero enough but their hands were by the financial interests he c . ,

"Qui- party has been blamed for the world depression." Mr. McLure continued. "You know as well as I do that that is a silly statement to make. The depresion began in 1029. By reason of the wise policies introduced by the Bennett Govern- ment it has affected Canada pos-

sibly less than any other world country." _ Mr. McLurc quoted from the

Vancouver Sun, a. IeadinS Liberal paper, of October, i933. in which Mr. Mackenzie King was denounced as being incapable of leadership or 01 grasping the problems of the present age.

Old Age Pensions

Mr. Larabee liad been quoted as saying that ihe Old AEe P00510115 was costing ihe Province 845.000 Discussing this matter Mr. McLure recalled that in 1919 a Conservative Government had appointed a com- mission to deal with old age pen- sions. A report was brought in the following year. It was not until 1926 that public opinion forced the King Government to do something. In 1927 the introduced legislation to pay 50 r cent cf the pensions. Colonel Arthurs. a Conservative member. moved as an amendment that 100 per cent be paid by the Dominion. This was voted down by the Liberals. Mr. Ladner, another Coiiservative member, moved that '15 per cent be paid. This motion was ruled out of order, and the or- iginal bill went through. Subse- quently Mr. King stated in Parlia- ment that old age pensions was a vicious principle and he has since‘ stated that he is not pl pared to make any pledga with regard to old age pensions payments, The Bennett Government raised the federal payment to '75 per cont and is prepared to pay the full 100 per cent as soon as financial conditions permit.

Mr. McLurc showed from the blucbooks that ‘the cost to the

Large And Enthusiastic

Ho also cited the United States tariffs imposed against Canadian producers under the King Govern- ment, rmulting in a decrease in exports to United States from $190,000,000 in 1920 to 892.000.0170 l“ 1930. This fact lVIr. McLure used effectively in answer to statements made by Premier Gardiner of Sask- atchewail.

"Our Liberal opponents," he con- tinued, "claim that we promised a fulfillment of the terms 0f the Duncan Commissidn reiwrt- This 15 a strange criticism. On every plat- form in 1930 Liberal speakers al- leged that the Duncan Report had been implemented practically 100 per cent." (Laughter).

Mr. McLure then reviewed the successful efforts made under the present administration to obtﬂlﬂ reduction of auto rates on the car ferry; also the subsidy increase of 8150.000 annually,'obtained on the basis of the Duncan report. The subsidy question, he said, was not yet closed, and we might expect still further consideration from the Bennett Government if returned to power.

The Duncan report also recom- mended a survey of the harbors of the Province. which is now under-

way- Amid increased applause. Mr. McLure cited the unprecedented

high standing of Canada's credit today. He closed with a ringing ap- peal to the electors not to he misled bymisstatements but to Welsh and consider the record oi’ the Gov- ernment l.n the light of world con- ditions. and vote accordingly.

MR. J. n. MYERS

It. was very encouraging indeed tc see old Eldon Hall filled to the door to hear the issues dlscllwéd

the Conservative candidates, Mr. Myers said. He welcomed Lib- erals as well as Conservatives and asked only that the electors hear the iesues fully, and then use their own intelligence and judgment. The serious economic difficulties encountered by the government during the past five years were emphasized. This situation, it was pointed out, was a world wide one. and has been described as an after;- effect of the Great War.

No one denies, said Mr. Myers, that the trad: of Canada along with the re"t of the world, has de- clined since 1929; "but I do em- phatically deny our opponents‘ statement that the Bennett govern- ment was responsible.“ (Loud ap- piause).

In 1020, the speaker showed. the total trade of the world was $88.- 600.000.000. By 1934 it had dropped $23.375.000,000. Canada's trade was affected, but through the operation of the Bennett policies we have suffered loss proportionately than other couritrien

Tariff Barriers

Mr. Myers dealt clearly with the attitude of "economic nationalism" which guided the United States government in its trade policies. He cited statements of the presi- dents of both the Canadian and the United States Chambers of Commerc. showing that Canada was fully justified in negotiating the Empire trade agreements of 1932. I-Ie cited the tariff increases made in United Slates against Canadian cattle. live poultry, dressed poultry, oats, hay, wheat. bacon and hams, beef. butter, cream, and other farm products between the years 1921 and 1930. Also the tariff increases imposed by France. Germany, Italy. and other foreign countries duilng the some period. These figures presented a clear picture of the tariff barriers 1801118 Owed-inn producers when the Bennett government took office.

Why, asked ‘Mr. Myers. is the United States regarded ls ouinnat- uni market? Simply because i; L!

Province last year was slightly over $31 and not 846.000. as alleged. is amount was more than offset by the saving effected in maintain- ing aged persons at. the Infirmary. Dealing with tariffs, Mr- Mature showed that it requires some $850.- 000.000 to run the country annu- ally. About 90 per cent of the pro- duction of the country in required for this purpose. This leaves the homo producer with 90 percent of his product. ls it fair to plus on the some bnis the foreign in-o- ducci- who pays nothing toward the upkeep of the country, he ukcd. It is the purpose of tariffs to adjust this difference Ind prevent the farmer and others from being ex- ploited in the home market.

Liberal Inconsistency

As evidence of Liberal inconsist- ency Mr. McLurc citoci the opin- ions expressed by a number of loco- ing Libcrll-I. some of whom @014 free um while others, iuuiuliinc Mr. King. repudiated froc tndl ll c policy which would in GIIOINMII- clpeoiolly to the Mni-itims 18w- inceu. 311m loaders. he cart-ad.

Allegations by political opponents that Britain was dissatisfied with the Empire trade agreements was denounced by Mr. Myers as untrue. He cited the trade inoreares both for Canada. and the United King- dom, showing that bath countries had benefited materiafy. »

' "If it had only been the good fortune of Mr. King to make such trade agreements as Mr. Bennett has made undel- the Ottawa pacts. let me tell you that our political opponents would be so proud it would be very difficult t: live with them." (Applause). -

The achievement of the govern- ment in converting an adverse trade balance into a favorable one was also emphrizod.

"During the 1930 election we had a lot to say about New Zealand butter," Mr. were continue’. "I think during the past five years, and notwithstanding that the price of butter has been low. I would still rather say "look at your milk checks" than “look at your potato checks".

New Zealand, he pointed out. sells butter. cheese. wool, mutton. chilled meat and hides. We have the same commodities to cell and this con- stitutes the difficulty of a trade be- tween both countries. This was why the treaty with New Zealand runs for one year only and must be rati- fied at the and .of that time, whereas the other Empire agree- ments were mode on u five year baris.

Mr. Myers explained the reason for the bonus of 1 1-2 cent a pound on cheese manufacture which was enacted at. the lust session of par- liament. A sum had also been vot- ed to sub-idize export of butter in order to relieve congestion in the home market and maintain the domestic price yo: our Canadian producer.

"While my opponents challenge me with ‘look at your milk cheques‘ I am ready to look at them. I can cite what we have done for the dairy industry. Now will they tell us what they did to protect the in- dustry?" lApplairc).

The lot of tens of thousands of farmers in Russia was worse today than it ever was under the Czar- ist regime. Rev. Sidney Bonnell, pastor- of the Fifth Avenue Presby- terian Church, of New York City said last night addressing an aud- ience in Heartz Memorial Hall on "What I saw. in Russia."

Agrarian workers resented the move made by the government to bring faTmers into collectives. There were 7.010 to 10.000 churches still operating in spite of the anti- religious campaign of the Soviets, the P. E. IZ-born New York clergy- man stated. There were millions of people almost totally ignorant of the Christian faith. Freedom 0f speech and the press were not per- mitted.

In his address Rev. Dr. Bonnell dealt first brieﬂy with the history of Russia previous to the revolution in 1917.

Referring to labor conditions in Rusla the speaker stated that 35 l-zerccnt of all the women in Russia are wave earners. Women l"! seen working w‘th PM“ 3nd 51°“ ﬁle and at other manual labor.

Relief Expenditures

There had been much Liberal criticism about "blank cheque" legislation. ‘This criticism, Mr. Myers showed. was also based on misstatement. ft was impossible to calculate in advance how much federal money would be required for unemployment relief.
