001B6B99 August 20th, 1926. Meighen Addresses Meeting in North Vancouver A crowded house greeted Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen in the Lonsdale Theatre last Tuesday evening. Mr. Meighen was in- troduced by General A. D. Mc- Rae, the Conservative candidate for the Riding. In his opening remarks Mr. Meighen paid a tribute to Gen- eral A. D. McRae, whom he said he had known for a number of years, and dwelt on his achieve- ments in the business world. He spoke very highly of Hon. Harry Stevens and his recent activities in Ottawa, aud characterised Hon. Dr. Tomlie, another resi- dent of B. C. as the best minister of Agriculture Canada ever had. Speaking of the returned sold- ier question, he said that he had treated the returned soldier so well as to cause him to lose the support of Quebec in the 1921 election. The Conservatives had supported with one amendment the Land Settlement Re-valua- tion Scheme brought forward by the Liberals, that amendment being that revaluation be put in i the hands of County Court judg- es. The bill was not passed ow- ing to other matters being brought before the house on a question of privilege by the gov- ernment. Discussing Old Age Pensions, Mr. Meighen said that this ques- tion had hitherto been primarily a provincial matter, the function of the Dominion Government be- ing only to help in so far as the Provinces desired. The bill had passed without the provinces concurring in it, and had been thrown out by the'enate, both Liberal and Conservative Senat- ors voting against it. The in- tention of himself and his party, if elected, was to consult all the provinces, their consent being necessary in any case, and when a satisfactory plan had beea ar- rived at, to put the necessary legislation through. The Con- servatives had been described as "autocrats" and himself as a "Cromwell" for his action in dis- solving Parliament abruptly with so much unfinished business before it. Had Mr. King dissolv- ed Parliament, as he had asked to do, the same procedure would have been followed and the same condition of unfinished business would have ensued. So far as his "Shadow" cabinet was con- cerned, to have had hia minist- ers elected would have meant ad- journing the house for eight weeks to end a session that had only three days to run. He had taken the course advised by the legal officers of the Crown ap- pointed for that purpose. To the statement of his op- ponents that a vote of censure was not before the House all he had to say was that the amend-'entread to the effect that the King Government had known the conditions of the Customs Ser- vice and having done nothing, their conduct was indefensible. In conclusion Mr. Meighen said he was not taking up the great question of policy, because the Conservative Policy was the same as that in 1925 which had been very fully discussed. In- cluded in that was an immigra- tion policy based as "the rock of employment at home." There wae no fear of not obtaining em- igrants when everybody living in Canada was employed. West Vancouver Man in Boat Crash Mr. B. Patterson of West Van- couver and two other men had a narrow escape from drowning in the Lions'ate at 1 a. m. Tues- day morning, when the gasboat Mabel Dell crashed into a boom of logs in tow of the tugboat Hope. The nose of the gaeboat was stove in, aud, as she began to fill, Mr. Patterson and hie two companions leaped on to the boom, from which they boarded the tug. Later they were taken ashore by the police boat, which arrived on the scene. The gas- boat was afterwards towed into English Bay.
