Nickle. Hon, J. 5. Martin, Ontario Minis- ter of Agriculture, Hugh Stewart, M.P., Brockville, Dr. A. E. Ross, M.P., and Attorney-General Nickle Were the speakers at the Kingston Liberal-Conservatives' second afnual Picnic held at Lake Ontario Park, Wednesday afternoon and evening. A resolution pledging support to Meighen and Dr. Ross and to Prem- fer Ferguson and Mr, Nickle had Just been carried with cheers and, the Hon.

Mr. Martin's address was commen4 dation for the Ferguson government and condemnation for the King gov- ernment in respect to the farmer. A good government will help the agri- culturalist and he stated two ways in which his party was doing this. The annual grant by Ottawa of a million dollars a year for educational work in agriculture throughout Canada, started by the Conservatives ten years ago, had been cut off last year, though the King government could spend millions on a hotel in Europe. However Premier Ferguson had guaranteed to make up the shortage. The Ontario ' government was also bringing blessings to the farmer by subsidizing and making possible ydro power for rural districts. He hoped that the co-operation he had found in Denmark, where the farmer received seventy-five per cent. of what the consumer paid for his pro- duce, could be introduced into On- tario. The government at Ottawa should protect our markets and present the dumping here of American produce, cheap because produced bY negro and cheap labor. There should be such a duty on early garden stuff as would put it in the luxury class where it belongs, The Federal gov- ernment should husband and develop our resources, such as pulp and nickle. Maedonald's national policy in force would again mean prosperity for Canada, Mr. Stewart's Address, The members for Brockville claim- ed Mr. King's troubles all arose from the conflicting promises he made to suit the locality. The .mari- time provinces were in revolt against him, as' shown by the last two elec- tions, because of his failure to carry out his pledges regarding the Inter- colonial railway. They promised to reduce the sales tax but they were making more from it now than when they came into power. Discussing the different parties at Ottawa he sald the Liberals weré in office on'y which was showing signs of splitting, and that the Conservatives were the only party to show an increase in strength since the last election (four Per cent.). Canada was looking for help to Meighen and his policy, which stood for the development of Can- ada's resources, strong Imperial re- t| lations and protection of the home market, Dr. Ross. Dr. Ross quoted figures to show that the King government's ecomno- & mizing was largely camouflage, The same day that Mr. King said every- thing was beautiful in Canada, there Tr. was a meeting in August of unéem- h. | getting work, ployed in London to find means of Ontario and' Quebec were likely to face more unemploy- ment this winter than ever. The Tories' policy of protection meant diversified industries and a high grade laboring class not possible in a free trade and cheap labor country. Mr, Nickle. Mr. Nickle, who remarked that this is his twentieth year in puble life, first explained his government's fifteen million dollar deficit in their first year, claiming that it was due to the obligations inherited from the Drury administration. The Fergu- son government, throughout its de- partments, was practising wise econ- omy, the reduction of the road staff from twenty-four to nine resident engineers being an instance. A big loan had been secured for four and one-half per cent., an effort was be- ing 'made to interest British capital In the rich Northern Ontario mining districts, Ontario's forests were be- ing protected, better social laws in- troduced, the Bowmanville farm established for the underprivileged boy (the same was to be done for the erring girl) and immigrant boys homes could now be inspected. He defended his effort to have a tri- bunal appointed to deal with problem Cases under the Workmen's Compen- sation Board, which he dropped due to Labor's opposition, When the British scientists visit- od Northern Ontario the Hom.
