June 11.--Nine Sears ago Alberta's voters placed government of the province in the hands of the brand new Farmer , Party. Today after two terms of ' uminterrupted rule the Farmer ad- ministration points to almost a . decade of experience in asking to be returned to power at provincial i election on June 19. While the followers of Premier J. E. Brownlee--whose party held 43 of 60 seats {n the last Legisla- ture-~hol@ that. the - question of "experience versus inexperience" is one of vital importance with the provinge's natural resources about to be handed over, opposing par- ties accuse the government of fi- nancial mismanagement and of be- ing -a "group" administration not representative of the Province. Debt Increased Debt of the. province has been unduly increased and costs of ad- ministration have swelled beyond necessity, claim. opponents of the agrarian group, Their contentious are based on provincial public debt figures of $101,661.241 at present as compared to $57,000,000 when the Farmer government took office in 1921; and annual expenditures of the province have inereased from $10,000,000 in 1921 to $17, 000, 000 'this year. In answer to this criticism Pre- mier Brownlee holds that the total has actually swelled but $13,000, 000 in nine years, ' He agrees that direct debt of the province in 1921 was $57,000,000, but contends that when indirect debt was taken into account the total was $87,872,000 --Increased now by $23,000,000 to the present total. But, he says, against this advance must be ap- plied $10,000,000 still owing on the disposal of Northern Alberta rail- ways. Referring to the "criticized in- crease in annual expenditures, the Farmer administration claimed that interest charges made 'up $3,000, 000 of the jump from $10,000,000 to $17,000,000 expenses yearly. The remainder/of the increase was due to such service expenses as mental institute costs, sanitariim costs hospital grants, mothers' al- lowances. highway costs, district roads, educational grants, old age pensions, etc.--all necessary items, Mr. Brownlee declared. ' "Group Domination" Charges of "group domination" have been labelled as entirely in- correct. The Farmer Party claims to be representative of the entire province and to have consulted the interests of all. electoral -groups. Opposition statements that, for in- stance, the gasoline tax exemption benefits only tractor-operating far mers are referred to as erroneous: the exemption covers gas used for all industrial purposes it is stated.

"Thesg two most difficult problems," Mr. Brownlee remarked, "have been solved to the complete satistaction of all ghades of public opinion." Handing over of the resources from the Dominion to the province, slated for August or September of this year, is mentioned as reason for the Alberta government appeal- ing to the people this summer, when its five-year term expires on- ly next year, Otherwise, argues Premier Brownlee, it would have been necessary to halt in the midst mer and prepare for an election. Resources transfer terms are claim- ed to be especially favorable due to government efforts, $6,000,000 Saved Six million dollars was saved on the northern railways deal by the government holding out for a bet- ter price for a year after the op- position urged acceptance of the railways' offer, according to Mr. Brownlee. They were finally dis- posed of In 1929 for $25,000,000. 'I'ne premier argues that enhanced value of the roads was due to ef- ficient management after 1921, at which time, he said, the lines did not even belong to the province; deficits and debts had to be paia before the province secured con- trol, he recalled. Telephone service handled by the province is recognized as one of the best in the Dominion, the gov- ernment contends. However, when the Farmer administration first took office the department was listing annual deficits and was sald to be in "deplorable condition." At present the service pays interest on its: debenture debt, is setting up reserves against depreciation and is starting to pay surpluses which may be used to reduce taxation or telephone tolls. It is pointed. out that $22,700,- 000, almost one-quarter of the pro- vince's debt, is due to the telephone department which, Premier Brown- lee says, could be dsposed of at any time for that figure. The raf. yay debt, listed as $22,000,000 is labelled by the Farmer Party as "inherited, " with the notation that a goodly portion will be wiped out by the $10,000,000 payment yet to come. Policy of the Farmer adminis- tration has been to follow the methods in use by many large cor- porations relates Premier Brown- lee in explaining increase in pub- lic debt. "We don't try to pay for large extensions in the year they are made," he explains, "but the cost is spread out over a num- ber of years and the debt will be met by a sinking fund which is be- ing created." TIGHTENING UP ON IMMIGRATION Case of Fredericton Girl Arouses Interest in New England Boston-- Thousands of Canadians in New England will be affected by the new attitude of the United Stateg Immigration officers ds ex- emplified by the case of Miss Kath- leen Rose Gibson, formerly of Fred- ericton, N.B, Miss Gibson came to the United States from her home in Frederic- ton eight years ago and after a short time obtained a clerical posi- tion. Eventually she was engaged by the National Shawmut Bank to work in one of its Boston branches. In 1927, she decided to visit her New Brunswick home, When she returned to Boston, being unaware of a law passed in 1924, which re- quired a head tax from Canadians entering the United States to re- main for any considerable period, she came across the border without making the necessary declaration or paying the head tax of $8. Entirely uncognizant that %he had done anything illegal she was amazed to find herself the recipi- ent of a call last March by agents of the Immigration Department, who insisted that the accompany them to the East Boston Immigra- tion Station. Deportation Ordered The officials at the East Boston Station decided that Miss Gibson would have to be deported, but her friends took up the case and retain- ed Col. Percy A, Guthrie, a Bocton lawyer, to investigate the situation. Col. Gutherie first arranged for bail of $500 for his client and then got busy with Washington, On May 18 a telegram was receiv- ed from Congressman Douglass of Massachusetts saying that the war- rant for deportation had been with- drawn and that if she would leave Boston for Canada not later than June 10, she could, immediately upon her arrival in Fredericton, ; iis is n new portrait of the Prince of Asturias, Spain's Prince of Wales, Sithough heir to King Alfonso XIII, he may never as. cend to the gt ian throne,' since sentiment is on the increase in his native land, and since he none toy robust health, of re-organization work next sum- imsclf is of | DR.

"At Vanceboro," Col. Guthrie sald, "Miss Gibson was told by the immigration officer who examined her documents that federal agents have been sent into hospitals and Stato institutions all over the coun- try but especially in New England, to factories and banks and other manufacturing and business estab- lishments with orders to take into custody all Canadians . who have entered United Stateg ilegially." '"The campaign, according to the information I get," said Col. Guth- rie, is to be waged = principally against those who nave come over from Canada without paying the head tax." Thousands Affected In- New England particularly, it is said, that there are thousands of Canadians, who will be affected by this new attitude of the Immigra- tion Department. But for the pee- uliar circumstances, which #2em to indicate that Miss Gibson did not intentionally violate the law, and the intervention of her friends, she might have been the first to have been exiled permanently from the Uniter States. Miss Gibson is of the opinion that ghe was the victim of some person who held a grudge against her and sought to do her harm by passing the information along to the auth- orities. She is, however, inclined to, drop the matter and make no effort. to establish the identity of her enemy. "I hope to remain here,'" Miss Gibson told reporters, "I did not know that I had done anything wrong when I came back without paying the head tax. The incident is closed as far as I am concerned. Althought I lost my job as the re- sult «/' the trouble, I feel the In- migration officers were only carry- ing out their duties. I was well treated by the officials with whom 1 came in contact and I can only gay that I a happy over the decision to let me remain in the country." Colonel Guthrie is of the same opinion as Miss Gibson as far as the grudge angle is concerned but he fears that the new attitude of the Immigration Department will be of far more serious consequence to other Canadians in New England, §Miss Gibson was the victim of some miserable person who had a grudge against her," he said, "and 1 am sorry to say that I fear there will be many more similar cases in Boston within the next few weeks While the immigration authorities do not encourage such things as were done to Miss Gibson by the enemy who reported her, the law is very specific on the question of illegal entry into the United States and I have been told officially that a new and determined effort is to be made to enforce that law." em ---------------- BIG MANOEVRES BY CANADIAN FORCES Combined Army, Navy and Air Demonstration in July Halifax, N.8.--Combined man- oeuvres of the Navy, Army and Air Forces wil Isupplement the usual training of militia units at the var- fous camps in Military district No. 6 this year, according to a Head- quarters announcement.

Ships of the Atlantic and West In- dies Squadron of the Royal Can- adian Navy and of the Royal Navy and other vessels will participate, as well us aeroplanes of the Royal Canadian' Alr Force. Most of the troops in Military District No, 6 will take part. They will be taken by train to Pictou on the 10th of July, where they will embarked in the vessels which will put to sea that night and will land the force immediately after dawn the follow- ing morning in the vicinity of River John, where the landing will be opposed by a skeleton force, con- sstng of a contngenttmfwypmbfwy sisting of a detachment of the Roy- al Canadian Artillery and "A" Company.
