FORTY-NINTH YEAR.—No. 29 CUMBERLAND. BRITISH COLUMBIA FRIDAY, Vim: 18tl SUBSCRIPTION TRICE: TWO DOLLARS TER ANNUM LIBERALS ARE DOOMED SAYS DR. A. THOMPSON "Mackenzie King in Late Afternoon of Political Life", Speaker Asserts. Claims Dunning Budget Will Wreck Party. Classes Independents as Political Orphans. Conservatives held another big meeting on Tuesday night at Courtenay, when Dr. Thompson, veteran parliamentarian from Yukon, was heard in support of Thomas Graham. Before J. N. McLeod, chairman, called upon the visitor, Sam Cocker of Vanderhoof and the candidate were heard. Mr. Cocker was of the opinion that Comox-Alberni had not taken its full share for some years in the duty of responsible government, He told of the spontaneous enthusiasm of the reception of Mr. Graham on his recent extensive tpur of the riding. He was sure the candidate would demonstrate the capabilities required for great responsibility. His experience was of the kind to fit him to grapple with the problems facing the Dominion. The speaker hinted that by virtue of his intimate knowledge of the coal idustvy Mr. Graham might before long be called upon to assume even greater responsibility than mere membership in Parliament. Mr. Cocker congratulated the district on the Excellence of its Creamery plant. He gave a survey by provinces of the results expected on election day by Conservatives. Ftrit Speech in Courtenay Mr. Graham addressed a Courtenay meeting for the first time. He repeated the comprehensive presen tation which he made at Royston and Cumberland, stressing particularly the need of a national fuel policy and the unemployment issue. In connection with the suggestion that he represented wealth interests, he said that his connection with Canadian Collieries was similar to that Mr. Neill had with the oil trust when he represented the Imperial Oil Company ns agent. He was a working man purely and simply. Dr. Thompson, who represented the Yukon in several parliaments, informed his audience that this was his second visit to the district. A year ago he had visited Comox and had bcen much impressed with the possibilities of the fertile soil, and he had admired the splendid stock. He had listened with interest to Mr. Graham, who had delivered an address which marked him as being of parliamentary calibre. He was pleased to note increasing attendance of women at political meetings. This denoted their gradual acceptance of the responsibilities connected with the franchise they had won, which was important in that they now represented a majority of the electorate. Political Orphani Dealing with the question of Independent representatives in the House, Dr. Thompson thought he could speak with authority. In his first parliament he had been sent to Ottawa as an Independent, and had quickly found that it was no place for political orphans. Conservatives were most hopeful of the outcome of the election. They expected to defeat four government ministers, namely the ministers of trade and of railways as well as Mr. Dunning and the fledgling who had the temerity to try to oust Hon. H. H. Stevens. Government, like individuals, said the speaker, went through three stages of life, namely youth, maturity and decline. He considered that Mackenzie King was in the late afternoon of his political life. His recent speech in the arena at Vancouver had been one entirely of defence. There was not a momen given to constructive policy. He had acquired the pessimism of old age. His query at Brandon as to whom Mr. Bennett could take to thc London conference was absurd in the extreme. There were surely some brains in Conservative ranks. Empty Stomachs Factor Mackenzie King, continued Dr. Thompson, had come into office at thc end of the wnr depression on the crest of a wave of prosperity. Now that sterner times were coming he could not stand the gaiT. If the Liberals took the credit for former good times, they must face the responsibility for bad. The most potent factor against Mr. King was the empty stomachs in Canada. They had asked him for bread and he had given them a stone. Vancouver had in one season paid out $300,000 for relief. Mackenzie King insisted that this was a municipal and provincial matter. Mr. Bennett considers it a federal matter and had promised to call a special session and provide remedies. Canadians Not Inferior Canadians were inferior to no people in the world, the speaker said, but because of exportation of raw materials. Now the Liberals were Canadians had been forced to seek employment in the country to the south. Every week day for a year three million dollars had been sent to the States to buy articles mostly manufactured from Canadian raw materails . Now the Liberals were attempting a trnde arrangement with the United States which placed the fiscal policy of the Dominion in foreign hands. Every time the Liberal governments had attempted to make trade arrangements with Uncle Sam they had been turned out of office emphatically, and the present election would see history repeat itself. Budget a Farce The Dunning Budget, designed, according to Liberals, to please England and not to annoy the States, was a farce, said Dr. Thompson ,and would put the Liberals out of office. Mackenzie might as well try to teach his grandmother how to darn socks as to teach Britain how to trade. The British were better traders and had been for centuries than even those people whose headquarters was in Jerusalem. It was not possible to mix sentiment with business. Britain could buy wheat from Rumania, Russia, Italy and the Argentine cheaper than from Canada, and the wheat would be bought in the cheapest market. Great Britain now was now reaching the conclusion that it would have to adopt protection against the dumping of world surpluses. The Conservatives would make trade arrangements only where there was mutual advantage. An example of the way in which Canada could help Britain was the spending of nearly $200,000, half of it by the Canadian Pacific Railway, on ships in recent months. For fifty-two years, concluded Dr. Thompson, the Conservative party had served Canada first, and other nations next. The way to build the Empire was to build Canada first. ISLAND COLLIERIES PURCHASE SOUGHT It is reported from Nanaimo that John Sandberg, who is interested in the re-opening of tbe Morden Mine, is negotiating for purchase of the new Lantzville Collieries, 10 miles north of Nanaimo and has a fifteen day option on the property. It is stated the new company wili spend $15,000 on improvements, including tipple, machinery and wharf and will increase the output 300 tons per day. Joe Idiens In Good Form With Bat Mr. Arthur Paul's Upper Island team to represent this end of the Island in the B. C. cricket week tournament held in Vancouver this week and which terminates tomorrow will be A. T. Paul (Nanaimo), captain; W. Unsworth, W. Burns, V. Eccles and F. Jepson, Nanaimo; F. V. Hall, J. Idiens, P. McLaughlin (Cumberland; G. G. Baise, A. Al- wood, Cowichan; W. Mitchell and G. Barwell, Vancouver. In addition to the three Cumberland players on the team \V. Burns well known here, being at one time a leading player with the local eleven. Joe Idiens, vice-captain of the Cumberland cricket club playing for the Upper-Island team in the Vancouver cricket tournament made two good scores during the week, making 61 against Olbs' team and 76 against Vancouver. In the game against Vancouver, Idiens in partnership with Sharpe made 177 for the first wicket, one of the greatest first wicket scores made on the mainland . Frank Kraly Died From Injuries Of Accident At Camp Was Inmate of Cumberland Hospital For Several Months Frank Kraly, a well known and popular Nanaimo hoy died in the Nanaimo Hospital on Tuesday night at the ago of 23 years. Deceased was born in Germany, but had been practically all his life in Nanaimo. He was severely injured on June 10th, 1929, in the Robert Dollar camp at Deep Bay, while working as a choker setter, receiving a badly fractured pelvis and internal injuries. He was conveyed to the Cumberland General Hospital immediately following the accident where he remained until January Oth of this year, being removed to the Nanaimo hospital so that his family could be close to him. Deceased is survived by four brothers, Vincent, Adolph, Anthony and Joseph and three sisters, Mrs. W. Winkleman, and the Misses Jennie and Effie, all of Nanaimo. GOOD SCORES AT LOCAL TRAPS. After a rest of a few weeks members of the Cumberland Rod and Gun club met at the traps on Thursday and had a most enjoyable shoot. L. Frelone was high man with 24 birds out of 25: Louis cracked the first 23, missed the next and then got his last bird. The other scores were also very good being W. H. McLcllan, Jr., 21; G. McLellan, Ben Horbury and J. Franeioli, equal with 19; C. Coe, 18. LOGGER COMMITTED FOR TRIAL FOR CHEQUE THEFT. Before Magistrate G. Robert Bates on Monday, William Kirkwood, an employee of the Canadian Robert Dollar Co., at Deep Bay, was charged with the theft of a number of cheques. Two of the cheques he cashed in Nanaimo to the amount of $100. Discovery of the theft was made when the cheques were returned to the Royal Bank at Union Bay. Accused was arrested in Vancouver. After hearing evidence, Magistrate Bates committed accused for trial. Ferry Tenders Are Opened Mr. A. H. Swan, of Denman, Submits Lowest Tender Tenders for the Denman Island- Buckley Bay ferry were opened on Wednesday afternoon when it was discovered that "Sandy" Swan, a pioneer in water transportation on Denman was the lowest tenderer, his bid being $4,500. Other tenders were A. Hayden-Luck, 55,305; William H. Hind, $7,200; Pacific Navigation Co., $9,700; J. W. Cates, $13,800. It is understood amongst Denman Islanders that Mr. Swan will be granted the contrnct and that the ferry wilt be put into operation as soon as the charter is granted. Progress Noted In 38th Annual Report Of Medical-Accident Fund To the Chairman, Executive Com^ mittee and Members of the Canadian Collieries (Dunsmuir) Limited Medical and Accident Fund. beg to submit the Annual Report of receipts and expenditures for the year ending June 30th, 1930, showing a balance of $ 10,936.96 an increase of 589.60 During the past thirty-eight years the fund has been in existence, there has heen collected thc sum of $559,758.95 and expended 548,821.99 leaving a balance on hand of $..10,936.96 which is a very good balance considering the extra expenditure we had last year. We have had a very satisfactory year, the community has been free from any serious epidemics, although we have had some rather serious operations. Medical Officers During the past twelve months our Medical Officers, Dr. G. K. MacNaughton and Dr. E. R. Hicks, have given their usua ices. satisfactory serv- Cemetery As authorized at the last genera! meeting, we have spent on the cemetery during the past year, the sum of $2,409.13, and have added six acres, joining the old Medical Fund cemetery and the Roman Catholic cemetery together into one large cemetery, and cleared and fenced the tract. This was rather an expensive undertaking but it Is now completed, with the exception of gates near the Roman Catholic end of the cemetery. These gates have been ordered nnd will be put in place in the near future . Hospital The hospital is in an excellent condition and the high standard has been well maintained during the year The directors of the hospital found it necessary to make application to the Medical Fund for an increase ol the monthly contribution, which after due consideration was agreed (Continued on Page Two) Ominus Signs For Premier Mackenzie King Greater interest is being taken in political affairs throughout the country as the election draws near. While both sides are claiming victory the general opinion throughout Canada is that a Conservative victory is almost assured. With the Liberal Government weakening in Quebec—its hold on the 25 seats formerly held in Ontario conceded to be lost and the Province of Saskatchewan giving promise of Conservative support, the future seems to hold very little for Mackenzie King and his party. The present depression in which Canada finds itself coupled with the appalling unemployment situation exist ing today heralds the fall of the Liberal Party in Canada. The unrest and dissatisfaction that is felt throughout every nook and corner of the Dominion leads us to believe that the people already alarmed 2*, the employment situation at this time of the year and haunted by the spectre of an oncoming winter with its attendant labor depression will defeat Mackenzie King and his Government in the hope of obtaining something better by a change of Government. To all thinking men and women this year's Federal Election brings home the realization that a national reorganization is absolutely necessary for Canada. There is something wrong with our Government. The slow march of depression that has come upon us during the administration of the late Government is only now beginning to engulf us and the people of this country realize that the time has come when they must act, to save themselves from absolute disaster. A change of leadership in Canada is most desirable. The strong constructive policy laid down by the Honorable R. B. Bennett as compared to the weak-kneed efforts of Mackenzie King offers to the Canadian people the one solution to the situation as it exists in Canada today. The Conservative leader has made no sectional appeals but has laid down a policy that is Dominion wide in its appeal to the people and cannot do' otherwise than effect a stabilization that will be felt by every man and woman and in every nook and corner in Canada. His strong decisive pledges to immediately deal with the unemployment situation as compared to King's vacillating promises and his famous five cent speech gives the Canadian people some hope that the terrors of unemployment in the coming winter may be relieved. The Protective Tariff Policy of the Conservative leader, protection for manufacturers and consumer alike, protection for the farmer and dairy man, gives us some hope ot regaining that prosperity that this great country of ours holds for us. We have one of the greatest and richest countries in the world populated with only nine millions of people and the fact that there is an idle man or woman in this young Canada of ours clearly indicates the gross mismanagement of the Liberal Government. There should be no hard times in a country like this. There is wealth and prosperity in abundance for all of us if we only had a Government that would enact a policy that would give the people a chance. We want no meek and mild politicians who are afraid to legislate for Canada for fear of provoking the United States, we want a strong virile Government that will in Mr. R. B. Bennett's own words, "Blast its way to the markets of the world for Canadians". Speaking at Coburg the other day Mr. Bennett said, "The policy of the present Government inevitably brought about the present condition in the country. The Liberal administration has been derelict in its duty and has failed to discharge its obligation to the Canadian people. A new country such as this should have no unemployment. This brings the situation home to each of us individually in our own separate ridings. The time has come when Canadians must act. Let every voter cast about himself and herself and ask the question, "Is this all we have to expect of this country of ours?" Right in our own community we daily are feeling the effect of hard times more and more. Logging camps and business closing down around us. Where is all this going to end? There can be no one community or province in this confederation individually prosperous while the rest of the country is wallowing in the depths of depression. We must act collectively and give ourselves a chance by turning out this spineless Government that is bringing ruin to Canada and to the Canadian people. Give the Honorable R. B. Bennett and his party that strong support that will enable him to legislate for Canada in that clear fearless manner that is essentially Bennett's. In our own riding of Comox-Alberni the voters should weigh this matter very carefully. With the great possibility of the Conservative Government being returned to power, would it be more beneficial to the district to return as its representative Mr. A. W. Neill as an Independent or Thomas (Iraham, a Conservative? The Honorable R. B. Bennett has stated that he recognizes Mr. Neill as a Liberal (a fact that Mackenzie King admitted in Vancouver the other night) in which case the constituency would be represented by a Liberal with a Conservative Government, while Mr. Graham is running on a purely Conservative platform and would have the Influence that only a member of the Government can have. .Mr. Graham is widely known throughout this constituency for his sterling qualities as a man and throughout Canada as an industrialist of the finest calibre. Mr. Bennett is watching the progress of his standard bearer in this constituency with anxious eyes for it is upon him more than any other man in the Dominion that he must rely in the solution of that all important Fuel Problem that means so much to Canada and to Canadian miners. And who is. we ask, better qualified than Tom. Graham with his fifty years of experience tn handle that situation? There is only one course for the people of Comox-Alberni to follow and from advices that we have received from every corner of the riding it is very clear that the people of this constituency are going to give Tom. Graham that substantial majority that will ensure his victory on the 28th of this month. —Comox Central Conservative Association.

Big Storm Of Saturday Did Very Little Damage Last Saturday evening about 10 o'clock lightning lit up the skv eur- rounding Cumberland, hut the full fury of the storm did not break until wuly Sunday morning. Trees were struck in several parts of tlie district setting fire to a Itfrge number of them. Fortunately tho rain which followed put many of these fires "in. The side of a house at Union Bay was struck and one of the transformers on the Minto electric light lim-s was also damaged. Several parties of Cumberland people had gone up the hike on Sat- day afternoon, with the intention of spending the week end. As most of them were in cabins they suffered very little from the fury of the storm Mr .and Mrs. Rill Walker, how- ever, were not as lucky as some. They went out Saturday night with the intention of enjoying the evening fishing but before they got hack to camp the storm struck the lake with all its fury. Before long, engine trouble overtook the anxious couple and ii"i being able to fix it and having lost an oar, the small gas boat drifted until daylight. After some considerable time they were able to get to slime where a fire was made and their soaking clothes dried. Other Cumberlanders staying up the lake for the week end included Mr. and Mrs. G. .1. Richardson, Mr. and .Mrs. Maxwell and family, Mrs. Kit Brown and family. In the case of the latter, Mr. Kit \ not to go up the lake on Satu However, while the storm was at it worst he liecau In a single morning session delegates to the convention of the associated boards of trade of Vancouver Island on Thursday disposed of routine business, election of olficers, and consideration of a considerable number of resolutions. 1'. !,. Anderton. last year's vice- president, was unanimously chosen as president, anil W. W. Walk- cm, of Ladysmith, becomes vice- president. M. ('. Ironside will continue as secretary for his eighth consecutive term. Cathedral Grove The first matter discussed was the preservation of Cathedral Grove, the last stand of primaeval timber on any highway on the island. It was decided to express gratification at thc steps already taken by the provincial government to this end, and hope for speedy conclusion of the necessary protective measures. It was recognized that this stand of timber on the Alberni road constitutes a great asset to the whole island from a tourist business engle. Hrown Trout It was decided to ask the Dominion authorities to slock Cowichan river wilh Brown trout as an ex|)erimcnt with a view to placing them in all island waters. It was contended that in all parts of the world this fish had been placed and had proven to create excellent sport for Ily fishermen. It had also been found to live in harmony with the rainbow trout. Creation of rearing or nursery ponds for fry was also asked. Burning of Slash Delegates from one dislrict succeeded in having a resolution passed calling for the burning of slash along roadsides. It had not been done in the district referred to, though it has been the government policy for years to have the public works burn such slash under the supervision of the forest officers. The Aboriginal Driver After considerable discussion it was decided to ask the Indian department to look Into the mailer of its wards driving cars on the highways often wilh risk to other users, yet the Indians noi being subject to action for recovery in case of damage. Lights For Trucks Placing of lights at front and rear of freight trucks on the highways to indicate full width was urged. For Use of Horses A sweeping resolution placed before the convention by Malahat board delegates called for construction of four loot shoulders on the highways for use of saddle horses. The sponsors of the resolution considered that the cost would not be great and the benefit to tourist business would amply repay it.

EDWARD W. BICKLE '.:.... COAL TO NEWCASTLE FIGURES received from Ottawa indicate that there is little change in the coal situation, ouput dc- creasea and unemployment increases yet importations of foreign coal continue and expand in volume. Coul mined in Canada during the lirst quarter of 1930 amounted to 3,971,808 tons, a decrease of 14 per cent from the output of 4,622,728 tons fur the lirst three months in 1020. due ,.!' the reasons [or tliis condition is the increasing vi.hum. of coul imports from Russia—coal produced by cheap labor competing with our own Canadian coal, throwing our own workers out of employment and ne- ,,. inig bonusing the output of certain of our own raini to enable them to compete with this imported product. Tho Labor Gazette, quoting from tho "Canadian Un- ioni .," <... thi Wlowing lo say regarding these Importations: Prom Lhe port ot Mariupol on the Sea of Azof, tramp; i bringing Russian anthracite coal dug byj minors earning two dollars a day, ami unloading it atj Hi k and Montreal. Ai Montreal, where most of tho It, arrives, pari is re-shipped to lho Canadian n the Great Lakes, This movement of cpal began v ; i, 6,204 tons in December, 1D28, and 117,40-1 tons, v , Ipped to Canada in 1929. Penetrating already to tho western extremity of Lake' Superior, the Russian eoal is available at a price that ensui a ready sale. The mail price for the domestic I consumer averages 516.50 a ton, though it is reputed to be laid down at Montreal for St, a ton. From the 117,- 404 tons imported last year, this year tin; amount will increase to 250,000; next year it will double. The opening of the railway to Churchill will be followed by importation of Russian eoal through that Hudson Bay port. The prairie market has been reached already; the importers plan to dominate it, at least so far as Manitoba is concerned. Within five years from December, 1928, they have contracted to deliver 2,500,000 tons. Russian anthracite is good coal. Less friable than Welsh or American, it can withstand the hard usage of transhipment. It is mined only sixty miles from tidewater and is transported from Mariupol to Montreal at a cost of from fourteen to eighteen shillings a ton— a mere fraction of the freight rate from Alberta to Eastern Canada. But the greatest factor contributing to the Russian coal's competitive power is the low standard of wages paid the miners in the Donetz Basin. Tlie Russittn miners' standard of living is low, and with wages of four roubles a day (approximately two dollars) they nre comparatively well off. The Soviet administration lias brought about improvements in working conditions that compensate to some extent for the low wage-scale. The working day is of six hours.

Only the other night in Alberni Premier Tolmie read telegrams that he sent to Mackenzie King as far back j as February asking for aid for unemployment. He also read King';- reply saying he would consider the matter and yet he now claims he knew nothing about it, he says "Federal unemployment relief like old age pensions is a vicious principle." Unemployment is world wide, perhaps so, but oilier countries and their governments are doing some thing about it. The United States has given over a billion dollars for unemployment relief and yet the Liberal Government at Ottawa says "Not a live cent piece for unemployment,— it is a vicious principle." There are two issues to be faced. He faces neither of them. The firsl is immediate relief—the second ts the establishment of a policy development, a Canada-First-Policy that will provide employment in Canada for Canadian--' and make relief measure as necessary as they are objectionable to those unfortunate enough to require them. Mr. Bennett and the Conservative Party is pledged to call parliament together immediately to take both these steps. And what is the policy of our local member Mr. A. \V, Neill. Here is what he said on Thursday, April, 3rd. 1030, on the flooi of the house as reported in Hansard. "Now as regards the unemployment question I want to state my position quite frankly I am of the opinion that the Dominion Government being the dominant factor so to speak, in the confederation , of the provinces should call a conference to deal with the subject." What will the unemployed be doing while the conference is sitting at Ottawa—a conference can do nothing. The other night in Port Alberni Mr. Neill said "If Mr. Bennett should be returned as Prmie Minister and carry out his promise to call a special session of the House to deal with the unemployment question, it would cost the country over two million dollars, and all they would get would be a gold brick." Does Mr .Neill propose to let the thousands of unemployed men and their wives and children starve because it would cost a few dollars to call parliament together, to deal with the situation. A session of parliament will do something but his proposed conference will not. Mr. Neill's profuse apologies for Mackenzie King and his five cent piece speech and his sarcasm on the platform in connection with this appalling unemployment situation clearly indicates ihat he, like his leader, Mr. Wm. Mackenzie King proposes to do nothing. Is this the type of man to represent Comox-Alberni in a National crisis? We think not. We think that the people of this constituency will join the rest of Canada and oust that shameful government from power. —By authority Central Conservative Association.

All delegates were averse to anything even faintly resembling the dole system, A Lugging Problem It was decided, in view of the situation in the lumbering industry, not to press at this time for enforcement of regulations connected with burning of slash in a way to conserve second growth. Fuel Oil Damage A Courtei ay resolution calling for strict regulation of the means of transporting oil fuel so that it might not be allowed to contaminate the sea and beaches, destroying bird life and the amenities of holiday resorts was heartily endorsed. Use of proper containers for haulage, and of filters for bilge pumps, was asked. Coal for Electricity The provincial government will be asked to study the relative costs of production of electrical energy by use of coal in modern equipment, and by hydro methods. The intention is to ensure that If possible the coal industry of the island be revived and the water and scenic resources be conserved. Tliis was also a Courtenay idea. Forbidden Plateau The convention was enthusiastic in support of Courtenay's resolution calling upon the provincial gocerrment to proceed with the transfer of the Forbidden plateau area with a view to negotiating with the Dominion government for its transfer, together with Strathcona park, to the Dominion parks board for development as a national park. Two Important Links Though no formal resolutions were passed it was agreed that the executive should cont-inuc to press for construction of the Comox-Alberni road, and also the Sproat Lakc-Toflno section of the national highway.
