-King’.s Challenge, Accepted By lfhe Hon. Mr. Bennett

F (By Thomas Green, Canadian Press Staff Correspondent)

MONCTON, u. 3., July ioIfn probably the most vigorous speech oi his campaign. Hon. R. B. Bennett, here tonight sharply ratorted to the challenge oi Premier King to state what the Conservative Party had done ior labor. Warmly declaring that the Prime Minister was perhaps "unwise" to raise the question, Mr. Bennett dealt with the whole record oi the two parties in regard to Can- adian labor. “I promise you action," the Opposition Chieitain declared at one stage. “He promises you consid- eration oi the problem oi unemploy- ment. I promise to end unemploy- ment. Which plen do you like?"

Falling Off In Exports Of Farm Products Serious Blow To Canadian Ag- riculture.

during recent years urged more and more diversification of production as a method of meeting changing oondi- tlons iri world markets. Great auth- i orltles, life Professor Saunders, who, developed Marquis wheat, have been insistin: that Western isrmers must} in iuture depend less ior trien- iiveii-é hoods upon wheat exports than up“ l dairy produce. f

Despite the economic soundness oil this contention the King Government subjected the Canadian livestock and industries to a process oi’ slow stran- gulstiori.

During the past ten years Canada's wheat experts hive increased by 100 per cent while her exports oi live stack have decreased by 65 per cent. Today Inches leather bold on the meat and dairy produce.

In 1920 Canada exported to En:- larid 220,000,000 pounds oi pork. During the nine months ended March, 1930, she exported only 21,- 000,000 pounds to the same place. And in addition, during those same
