port by the Council.)

Deep significance was attachedto s. brief speech by Premier Laval of France in which he said France would support application of the League Covenant in “its letter and spirit." Delegates believed he had received assurance from Great Brit- ain that in the case of s future, European dispute she will insist as firmly for application of the Coven- ant as she is now doing in the Af- rican quarrel.

Supports Proposal

In his address to the Council, An- thony Ecien. Britain's representa- tive. said he fully supported the proposal of the‘ President that the Council should draw up a seport of the recommendations provided for in Article 15 of the Covenant. “Tho policy of His Majesty's Gov- ernment in the United Kingdom . . . has been recently declared authoritatively.” he said. "By that policy l-lis Majesty's Government is steadfastly determined to abide." After raising their glasses high in a toast at the bar in the League lobby, the Italian delegation march- ed down the steps and out of the building in a body.

Thus they continued a policy of not participating in discussions when the Ethiopian representativu are present. By refraining from voting. Italy also contends she thus maintains freedom of action. Delegates, after a careful study of the records cf the meeting, stres- sed that the five-powcr committee's peace plan was not formally accep- tsd by the Council. This leaves the Council entirely free to formulate new recommendations without in any way being bound by the corn- mitteeb skeleton plan.

Dissension in Italian Cabinet

PARIS, Sept. 26-—A prediction that the League of Nations could not avoid application of sanctions against Italy in case she attacks Ethiopia was made tonight by French officials.

They exp ssed belief the League Council would make the aggressor nation in the looming conflict liable to sanctions for an indefinite period.

Rumors of dissension in the It- alian cabinet over the Ethiopian campaign were spread by leftist French newspapers. Similar reports were vigorously denied yesterday by officials in Rome.) '

The newspepei-UOeuvi-e publish- ed a. dispatch saying Luigi Feder- zoni, President of the Italian Sen- ate, had made "a courageous crit- icism‘ of ll Duce's policy" at a cab- inet meeting in Rome Tuesday. The newspaper Republlque as- serted: ‘The former Italian Am- bassador to Paris, Count Carlo Sfcrza, now in exila is close to Dlnc Grandi. the Italian Ambass- ador to London, and it is no one's secret that Grandi is manoeuvrin to obtain a compromise." -

ADDIS ABABA, Sept. 26-22011- opia gave France pennission today to send 180 French white troops into this country to guard the rail- road from Addls Ababa to Djibouti, French Somaliland, Ethiopia's only rail out-let to the sea.

Emperor Haile Selassie at first indicated he would deny the Ih-ench request but reconsidered when the French insisted.

A similar request made by Italy had been denied. Government of- ficials argued that Italy, if it were a belligerent, would not need such protection. as there would be a complete e ‘ion of Italians.

A brilliant sun beat down today on the eve of Ethiopia's festival of traditional end of the rainy season.

and Canada's trade.

With regard to Dr. Grant's criti- cism of the Bennett Government for not paying 100% cf the old age pensions the speaker remarked that it came poorly from Dr. Grant who in 192'! was a member of the Government that promised old age pSIISlOXlSBIIG then did absolutely nothing about it.

So far as trade is concerned the League of Nations made s study of the fiscal policies of the var- lous countries of the world and their studied and considered judgment was that Canada is leading the world out of the de- pression and coming through with her resources intact and the cour- age of her people undaunted.

Dr. Grant followed with his re- buttal. He gave five minutes of his time to Premier Lea who criticised Dr. MscMillsn for toinhing on pm- vlncial politics. He claimed the Speech from the Throne did not misrepresent and that no provision had been made for the money for the Borden road. He did not men- tion the ferry or the provincial building. »

DR. GRANT

Dr. T. V. Grant. who was the first speaker, delivered practically the same address as at previous meetings. He began by criticising the election date and then talked on pensions.

was the ground work» for a dictator- ship and. put in as the first plank. If elected Dr. Grant promised to abolish all level crossings in King's County. There will be as big a row between him and King as between Stevens and Bennett if it isn't done, he stated.

The speaker then dealt with trade. agriculture and other ques- tions- '

Dr. A. A. MacDonald delivered a clear ' v speech dealing ef-

fectively with various upsets of the political situation. As an index of the prosperity of the country he ‘pointed out that for last year then was an increase of over 23 million dollars in customs duties collected.

So far as the Mackenzie King trade policies were concerned Dr. MacDonald said that whereas when King came into power Canada was exporting 190 million dollars worth of agricultural products to the United States, before he went out of power that had dwindled to 0 million and King had done nothing about it.

Canada's proportion of world trade per capits. now is greater than when Mackenzie King went out of power was another striking point brought out by Dr. MacDon- aid.

MR. GEORGE LESLIE

Mr. George Leslie. Reconstruction Party candidate for. King's County. spoke at last night's meeting. Na told why Mr. Stevens left the Con- servatlve party and formed a party of his own. He spoke on the causes cf the depression. ch the findings of the Price Spreads Commission arid the Stevens platform.

PREMIER LEA

Premier Lea. who followed Mr Leslie. dealt with trade and tariff questions. Canada's trade under King almost doubled and employ- ment increased 20%. In conclusion, he said “beware of promises.’ He was followed by Dr. MacMillan, a

ada and United States .was snai- yzcd, also the efforts which the Bennett Government has been making. "l expect very shortly that there will be an announcement of arrangements whereby we will be able to trade more extensively with the United States," Mr. Myers said, adding that several months ago he and his Conservative colleagues had emphasized the need of in- cluding in any trade arrangement provision for lower U. S. duties on the products in which this Province is particularly interested. Assurance had been received that this matter would be given consideration.

The steps leading up to Premier Bennett's great achievement in negotiating the Empire Trade Agreements were then reviewed. "They ran the election in Eng- land in i931 on the very policy which the Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett enunciated tc them in i020. and they were elected 0n it," declared

"Our vital interest in peace compels us to take our share and do our part in the workings of government of the international instrument which seeks to establish the reign of law among nations. "We also all support the govern- ment." Mr. Churchill added. in making it quite clear that there is no question of isolated action by Great Britain. "The day will come when Italy may well be grateful to an old friend like Great Britain for the desire to keep her out of what might be a deadly trap. "There are some powers in Bur- ope which would be quite glad to see Italy get into a thoroughly compromised and dependent posi- tion. We are not one of them." Discuss‘ the German situation. ths former cabinet member said:

Germany Banning

"We are living in times of a deep and growing anxiety. Germany is arming on s gigantic scale and st unexampled speed. The whole force of power of Nasidcm is being con- centrated night and day, week af- ter week, upon warlike preparation on land and sea apd in the air.

today." -

Mr. Myers amid loud applause. in referring to the British National Government. The Empire agree- ments negotiated at Ottawa in i032 meant closer trade relations be- tween ccuntries representing one- quarter the population of the world.

A VITAL QUESTION

"What has Mr. Mackenzie King's attitude been toward these agree- ments?" asked Mr Myers. It has been one of the bitterest opposition and criticism. Whom do you want to have at Ottawa when these agreements come up for renewal in 1030'! Is it Mr. Bennett, who nego- fluted them. ei- Mr. runs. who did nothing but obstruct and oppose them! I think you will decide that Premier Bennett is entitled to your vole on that ground alone." (Ap- plause). _

“What was the success of Mr- King's treaty making with New Zealand?" asked the speak . "We all know he negotiated a treaty with that country for five years by which butts: was admitted into Canada in unlimited quantities at one cent a. pound duty and our dairy industry was nearly ruined.

Milk Cheques and P0100000

"I have been chided for saying five years ago ‘Look at your milk cheque.’ " continued Mr. Myers. "I have no apology to make for that statement. I am a farmer myself.

on cheese manufacture by the Do- minion Government.

After reviewing the measures taken by the “ Guv t in the interests of dairying, Mr. Myers asked amid loud applause: I ask this of our opponents: “Clear of allowing the Canadian market to be flooded with New lealaud butter during those years cf Liberal rule, will they tell Inc what they ever did for the dairy industry of Canada!"

Mr. Myers then dealt with the history of the West Indies treaty negotiated by the King Govern- ment, which excluded Cubv. and was responsible for Cuban tariff retaliation against our potatoes.

"BLANK CHEQUES"

Premier Bennett had been ac- cused of passing "blank cheque" legislation and of assuming dic- tatorial power. This criticism, Mr. Myers said, cams with strong sf- fect from Liberal apologists. "We had a spectacle yesterday in the City of Charlottetown by our brand-new 100 per cent Liberal Government-elected on a platform of rigid economy-obtaining a "blank cheque" for $8,000,000. And when the oldest member of tbs Legislature asked the Premier for an explanation as to what all flab borrowing was for be was refused."

Mr. Myers denounced Commun- ism and extreme radicalism as in- imical to the best interests cf Can- ada. but at the acme time made it clear that he fully indorled the Bennett policy of reform of capital- istic abuses. '

Tho Wheat Carry over

i-Ie also dealt with the wheat carryover situation. “If m. Bennett bad done what be was alvlaal do by bis political opponents. tbs- Britlsb speculaior would be revel- ling in dollar wheat today Instead of- the Canadian farmer,” Mr Myers declared amid loud applause

Roference was also made to m Stevens’. csmpllln and to some o the exaggerations of the "Recon structionlst" party loader in Obi! lottetown.
