For ‘more than hour Hon, Mr. Pat-
tullo adversely criticised © ‘the govern-
ment, the members of - the government
tnd every act of the government since
it took over the reins of power. Not
one good thing has been done, and he
could not see how the government. now
in power could possibly do anything of
a beneficial nature, They are amar
teurs and have not yet learned to tell
the truth. He complained especially.
of the Premier and the Minister of
Finance being. untruthful. The worst
feature apparently ip that the Premier.
and hig cabinet de not take Mr.’ ‘Pat-
tullo into thelr. _confidence ; ° they ‘do

Mr. -Pattullo ‘adinitted several tines’
turing his speech’ that-he was merely
expressing an opiiion as he had noth-
ing official to. “go by. That caused
him numerous times to contradict him:
self n number of times, and as he was
talking fast he figured the people on
the frontier’ would not be fast) _ enough
to catch the contradiction. o>

Mr. “Pattullo ‘stated that the Alaska

‘highway. “propoganda | was. started by

the Premier te. draw. ‘a red herring’ ov:

the trail and cover up, the extrava-
gant “round experditures, in ‘the lower
‘}part of the. province. He told the au-

-) dience: that : they ‘eed not worry ‘the

Alnska., highway would nat. come thro’
New Hazelton. He.said- a survey had
already been made and’ that the road:
would go north’ from Fort St. Janies.
In the next- breath_he ‘said he had not
seen that survey - report -and knew no-
thing about it but it would’ not come
through New Hazelton. He. did not
say, however, whether it was his late |
government or-the: present government
had. made. the survey he referred to,
nor did he explain why the bridge ‘ove
er the Hagwilget canyon | was “heing

did not believe that-any- army of tour:

evenif it were built. He urged the
‘people here to ask the Premier where

“the intended to build that road., so the

perple here would know: where’ they
were wetting oft at. '

Mn. Puttullo eulogized Dr. Wrinch
ag a member of the House and he de-
nied that the Doctor bad ever. said in
the Hotise that he farored-long nar-
row rovds,: as, reported in the dnily
press of the south.

Mr. Pattulto. acensed ” he “‘Tolmie
‘government 0 of bint£" ‘nnd ‘banyhod' and
stated that ‘the: government was doing
less and. at 2 igher cost than’ ‘ever. be-'
foré He admitted- that no matter
what this government did. it would, he
wrong anyway. The great road ‘build-
jng program ~ “started by Hon. N. §.
Lougheéed,-and for: ~which the Toluste
government took great: credit, was on:
ly the program which his own govern-
‘ment hind ail prepared: and: ‘everything

‘have’ done it inuch -better. and ‘at: less

them ‘for a Avbile. _He said: thet the

After condemning every: - apppint-

Hon,” Mr. -Pattullo apparently fears
the formation of 2 ‘third - party. to be

that there was-a great difference in
