The Huron Expositor, 1930-05-09, Page 4t• nrl Friday, May 9th, 1930. INION ELECTION tills SUMMER Elie has been cast. Canada is e a Federal election this sum- gr.'The announcement was made by Mier Mackenzie King in the House g ; •Commons on Tuesday, following the Speech on the Budget delivered by 'Tiffin. R. B. Bennett, Leader of the Conservative Opposition. In his speech, Mr. Bennett accused the Government of many sine, both of omission and commission, and chal- lenged the Government to go to the country to secure a verdict of the peo- ple, on the Budget. The challenge was immediately ac- cepted by the l Premier, the text of whose speech follows: on the streets of a town, or on the roads and highways in the country. Wlhether parents and owners of cars ace in ignorance of this- law or just choose' to disregard it altogether it is hard: to say. But that it is be - ng disregarded is quite evident by the nusulbar of youthful drivers one sees on the streets and roads every clay. No owner of a car 'or driver may drive a car without a driver's license and no lice se may be issued to a person under sixteen years. Many bays and girls, too, are ac- tually better drivers than their par- ents, and for that very reason have been allowed .to drive cars both alone and in company with older people. But in allowing the youthful driver to operate the car, the parent or own- er is taking •a chance that some day he may very seriously regret having taken. In case of an accident on the road the owner of a ear driven by a boy or girl under age, is going to be en- tirely out of luck. Whether that own- er's car was in the right or in the wrong, will not make any difference whatsoever. He can make no claim to secure damages and can make no defence against paying them. He will pay in either case. But aside from accidents, the own- er of a car who allows a person under age to drive it, is simply courting a fine of ten dollars and costs, if arrest- ed, and arrested the driver is going to be sooner or later. Last week two provincial constabjes stopped every car on the road leading into St. Marys and asked to see the driver's license. That procedure will, in all probability, be followed on other roads. A driver under sixteen can hold no permit. He has no excuse; no recourse but to pay the fine. The law may seem a hardship to many, but it was placed.aced• on the statutes as a measure of protection to the travelling public and in these days the public is certainly in need of protection. These youthful drivers under sixteen may be near experts in the handling of a car, but under six- teen one's judgment is immature, one does not know fear. ' The youthful driver is apt to take chances that one of mature age would not even con- sider taking, and taking chances is courting accidents. The law says no 'person under the age of sixteen years may drive a car. Take a timely warning and keep out of trouble. "Mr. Speaker: I do not intend to reply to the speech of my honorable friend except in so far as the speech which he delivered, and the amend- ment, would assert that the Govern- ment has lost the confidence of the 'people of this country, and does not enjoy that confidence to the full with respect to the Budget which has been brought downby the Minister of fin- ance, and in 'respect to its other pol- icies. I think perhaps the :present is an opportune moment in which to make an announcement to Parlia- ment. Mr, Speaker, in the opinion of the Government, it is desirable that a general election should be held this year rather than that we should await the .conclusion of another session of Parliament during the course of next year. It is true, under the Consti- tution, the present Administration is entitled to remain in office until November. 1931. providing that it con- tinues to enjoy the confidence of Par- liament meanwhile. (However, uncertainty with respect to a general election is always more or less prejudicial with respect to the business interests of the country; and uncertainty with respect to an election also has its unsettling effects upon the business of Parliament as well as upon the business of the country. Inasmuch as there appears to be a general expectancy of an elec- tion this year, I venture to say that it is in the public interest that it should be brought on at the earliest possible moment. We are, fortunately, Mr. Speaker, it a position that my honorable friend, speaking on behalf of•the Op- position, and myself, speaking on be- half of the Government, appear to be in agreement in this particular. My honorable friend to -day has, in speaking on the Budget, given that as a reason why there should be an immediate appeal to the people. Some days ago he indicated that, because there was to be an imperial Confer- ence this year, he thought there should be an appeal to the people be- fore that conference was held, and also, in speaking on Thursday of last week, referring again to the Imperial `Conference and the Imperial Economic Conference, he stated he thought it was advisable that there should be given to the people an opportunity of saying what Administration should send its representatives to the con- ference, whieh is to be held in Sep- tember. May I say that, having in mind the representations of Canada by the present Administration at the Imperial Conference in 1923 and at the Imperial Conference of 1926 and at the subsidiary conference held last year at London, I believe the people of Canada would be wholly agreeable to having this country again repres- ented by the present Administration in the ordinary course of events with- out appealing to the people in the interval. However, the Imperial Conference and the Imperial Economic Confer- ence is an important event, and I be- lieve the voice of Canada at that con- ference will be most important and I feel sure that the authority of that voice will be the greater in virtue of it being expressed by an Adminis- tration which has just been sent with the confidence of the people of the country. Under the circumstances, I would suggest to n- y honorable friend the Leader of the Opposition that he and I meet together as soon as may be convenient to him to see if we can- not_C"ome to some agreement whereby the business of this present session may be brought to an orderly and a speedy conclusion. It would he my wish as well, of course, to meet my friend from Acadia (Mr. Gardiner, Progressive Leader) and discuss with him similarly the matters' that he would wish to have considered for themselves and the group he leads and which sit about him. I might say that, so far as the business of Parliament is concerned, I think the House has now before it practically all the legislation which it is the in- tention of the Government to intro- duce. Thereseremains, I understand, some amendments to the Criminal Code. There may be one or two com- mittees with whose reports we may wish to deal, and possibly one or two bills in addition. And the Govern- ment would hope to have reports from these' committees and the bills which may be 'based on these repotls. Arid there are the supplementary estim- ates. But, apart from these, I think ,the Douse has now'ibefore it a com- plete survey of the business. Accordingly, Mr. Speaker, I would say, having regard to the date at which that conference is to be held the necessity of ample opportunity )being given after an election for the preparation of the matters to be presented on behalf of Canada at the conference, that the speedier we can bring to a conclusion the work of thi's session, and the more immedi- ately we can make an appeal to the people, the ^Abetter for all concerned." evavararesswasseriamea TIMELY WARNING there's a karts' fon the s'tateites whid'!1 ' ,txo.ly or, girt' under the age. of. #1164. noxoki, A CHISELHURST Notes. -A quiet wedding took place recently at Parkhill at the home of Mr. J.
