Prime Minister Exposes Efforts To Overthrow Democracy

And Pleads Eloquenfly For Re- form By Conitirutional Means.

(C- P. By Guardlan’a_ Special Wire)

CALGARY, Sept. Ill-Advising his listeners to study the notes recently exchanged between the United States a_nd_Sovlet government with respect to the lattefs ac- tivities in other countries, Prime Minister Bennett today declared the mass movement toward Ottawa earlier this year was part of a. general scheme. effective at points throughout the North Ansel-lean continent.

In the course of an addreasdellvcred under the aus- pices of the Canadian and other service clubs, Mr. Bennett voiced a plea for the use-of “constructive and constitu- tional methods to reach the social and economic objectives which were common to all parties. - ‘

It had been “flagrantly indicated to the world,” Mr. Bennett said, that disorders occurring in Canada and United States had been instigated by agents of the Soviet.

“The movement against Ottawa was not accidental but was carefully planned. They would overthrow responsible gov-

ernment and set up a Soviet

Ml‘. Bennett counselled his hear- ers to take a "long range view" and not believe those who advanced theories by which the entire_eoo- nomic and social state could be changed overnight. He, held up Great Britain u an example of the wisdom of aocom re- forms in a. constitutional way.

"We must concede to others that they are seeking the same objec- tives we are hoping to attain, but we must also reserve the right in criticise their methods of achiev-

- lng them."

Amendments to the ccnstitution would have to come, Mr. Bennett said, but Only after a full study of the matter by the Dominion and provlsiciai governments in general conference. I-Ie stood for the son- stitution in all things and for the maintenance of federation.

“The constitution," Mr. Bennett observed, "gives us powerto elect whom we will. when we will, just as did a few days ago." He made no direct reference to the recent election in Alberta of the first Social Credit government in the world.

He was hopeful, the Prime Min- ister said. that before long some international yardstick to regulate currency values would be establish- ed throughout the trading world. Intel " l commerce could nev- er be established cn a sound basis until some ruch yardstick had been

Ward Price, Rome representative of _tlie London Daily .Mall, to have remarked it looked as if the committee of five thought he was “a collector of deserts."

II Duce admitted, Price reported, that he had not as yet received an official report of the plan and was basing his remarks on versionstelegraphed by news agencies.

_ Not only unacceptable but derisory,” was Mussolinfa view, according ‘to the Daily Mail, to “the suggestion ap- parently made that Italy’s need for expansion in East Africa should be met by cession to her of a couple of deserts-one of salt and the other of stone.

King

Revealed.

At the Peskes meeting last even- ing the responaibillty for the enor- mous decrease in exports to United States during the years of the King Government was placed by Con- servative speakera on the Liberal administration. which had failed to meet the United States high tar- iif policy. Dr. A. A. MacDonald and senator J. A. MacDonald strongly emphasized this point which went unchallenged.

Dr. Thomas Grant and Mr. l-l. H. Cox, M.L.A., satisfied ‘hemselves with carping criticism of the‘ Gov- ernment and its leader. The recep- tion accorded the Liberal candidate was scarcely that which he must have expected on his return to his native heath. He exercised more care in his choice of subjects for discussion, and confined his re- marks to debatable topics to a greater extent than at the two for- mer meetings.

Mr. Paul MaoLaughlin was the chairman.

Dr. A. A. MacDonald

Dr. A. A. MacDonald, who was the first speaker. referred to the importance of the election. His op- , ‘ was attempting (p blind the people as to the real issue. R. B. Bennett did not come lo the people to-day looking for a vote on there- flected glory of a grandfather. In reply to Mr. Cox's statenunt that there were too many in

ted. Such could not be said of Dr. Grant, as there were Liberals in some parts of the county who were displeased with the way conven- tions had been packed. Dr. Mac- Donald wamed the audience against blaming the government for the depression. "You must think, and you must reason." he urged.

"I am glad and proud to say that there is a changed sentiment in Kings County at the present time. The people are getting a more reasonable view of things."

To Premier Bennett, the speaker paid a high tribute as a statesman and a men of high intelligence. History revealed in a crisis a great leader always arose to bring a na- tion out of its difficulties. The de- pression arose during 1929 when the Mackenzie King government was in power‘. King found that there were 475.000 to 500.000 unemployed, but he refused to give even five cents to a Tory Province. On the other hand Mr. Bennett on assuming pow- er called a special session of Parlia- ment to deal with unemployment. Thus Hon. J. P. MacIntyre had been able in secure from Mr. Bennett $00,000 for relief. Mr. King had promised to use his former policies to bring the country out of depres- sion. Why had he not foreatalled the depression by means of his pol- idles?

critical. To Consider Defence

The convention, too, contrary to usual policy, is expected to divorce itself largely from internal politics and concern itself mainly with the country's position in regard to de- fence, which has long been agitat- lng Conservatives.

The Labor party however pro- fesses itself to be taking no chan- ces ovei- a smiden election. They have already endorsed 510 candid- ates, leaving only 105 seats uncov- "QNQX-Of‘ which even Labor regards 50 as hopeless from their viewpoint.

The Labor party opens its con- vention at Brighton on Sept. 30. and leadership in both the House of Lords and the House of Com- mans will be up for review.

Today Lord Ponsonby. Labor leader in the Upper Chamber since the National Government's advent four years ago. proffered his re- signation with _the declaration that "peace can never be secured by force of anns."

George Lsnsbury. the leader in the Commons. has already ex- pressed willingness to offer his re- signation on the same grounds, since a large body of Labor opin- ion has shown itself ready to sup- port the invocation of sanctions against an aggressor. The ‘Trades Union Congress recently voted overwhelmuigly in favor of such s. strong stand.

The Labor party meeting while supporting the Government

» compared with

maintaining the prestige of the League of Nations in the Italc- Ethiopian crisis, is expected to register a series 0f attacks against the government's home and for- eign policy.

‘There is a man in one of Mark Twain's books who was so fond of echoes that he bought‘ two moun- tains which had fine echoes and built a house between them,” Muss- olini was quoted as recalling.

“It looks as if the committee of the league thinks I am s collector of deserts."

The Mail's correspondent said Il Duce continued:

"I got 110,000 square miles of Sahara Desert from the French a little while ago. Do you know how many inhabitants there are in that desolate area? Sixty-two,

"In the scheme for an lntema- tional administration of gender- merie it seems Italy is not to be re- presented at all.

“The suggestion apparently ia made that all 200.000 Ita‘lan troops in mast Africa. should be brought home and told they were sent out there for an excursion trip. That certainly wont be done in any case.

“I would be far better if the committee had addressed itself to the central fact of the Ethiopian situation which is that there ls no ruch thing as an Ethiopian na- tion,’ Mussolini further was quot- ed as teiling R-‘ce.

“What makes up the nation called Ethiopia is a dominant race of Amharas ruling over the tribes which they have conquered and rc- duced to slavery, almost extermin- ating them in- the process.
