Bibliography
Copy of a letter from Father J.-A. Allard, East-Bathurst, to Premier A. A. Dysart. – 3 September 1935. – 2 pp. of textual records. Allard states that no fewer than 500 new lots are needed to meet increasing demands for green farms. He points out that William Aberhart’s social credit ideas are circulating among the poor classes in northern New Brunswick. Allard says he fears that unless something is done these poor people will be drawn into the nests of revolutionists. He wants to place them “on green farms to live a PEACEFUL life”. Allard also states his disapproval of the Liberal government’s new regulations concerning the cutting of timber on the colonists’ land, giving a number of reasons.
