minion’s Markets Had Been In- creased, Instead Of Narrowed As Liberals lViongfully Claim.

LETHBRIDGE, Alta., Sept. 11-

Describing the chain of events leading up to the Mtawa trade agreements. Prime Minister Ben- uett tonight said he would be “per- fectly content to leave my place in history" tn the negotiation of those ifl-eements. "f"I_n ordinary times the govern- ment that negotiated such agree- ments would remain in office as lung as it liked." Mr. Bennett re- newed his plea to the electors to return his government so that it some renew the trade agreements and conclude trade negotiations with the United States.

Canada's Trade Greater "Quoting figures to show that Canada's trade had proportionately increased i_n the past five years, Mr. Bennett scored opposition speakers who told audiences Can- ada had lost markets under the Conservatives.

“When I see Hepburn running across the country.saying things like-that. I am not surprised." Mr. Bennett said, "but I am surprised when I hear it from Liberals who are reputable. It is utter ignorance ona deliberate falsehood."

Canada had been part of the world depression, Mr. Bennett said. but..he believed the Dominion had some through the trying tlmesbet- tsr than most other countries.

I Govt. Efforts for Coal Industry

a rally called by the supporters of Gen. J. S. Stewart. Conservative candidate for Leth- bridge. Prime Minister Bennett to- night told the people of Alberta something of the’ government's

it_s"'wheat and trading policies. Continuing his westward campaign Mr. Bennett arrived in Lethbridge this evening, and hurried at ones tothe meeting which had been fa pfrogress for half an hour. ‘Several times during the all-day train Journey from Regina Mr. ett left his car to greet people on station platforms. He spent 45 minutes at Medicine Hat shaking hands with those who gathered around his car, and delivered an impromptu speech to a group of school children, and their elders.

Irecounla legislation

Recountlng the progress of gov- ernmental and legislative action during the last five years, Mr. Ben- nett told his Lethbridge audience particularly of the proposed Econ- omic Council inquiry into the ques- tion of fuel and energy commodi- ties, and of the increase in Can- adian coal movements from 114,000 tons in i928 to 2.314.000 tons in 1934. This he said had been ef- fected through the eforts of the government to assist that industry.

The Prime Minister said he had

Without them the country would have become insolvent."

100 EC. Increase in Empire Trade

‘The trade agreement had brought a 10o ,. ‘ increase in business with Empire countries and at~the same time trade with other coun- tries had increased 26 percent. "Mr. King says he does not ap- prove of our bargaining methods. I-ie says it savers of material things and lacks the altruistic spirit." .

Canada had made the best trad- ing offer. to the United States ever offered by one country to another as a basis for trade negotiations. "There is no record thcf. Mr. King ever made an offer of any shape or form. He said: ‘Don't provoke them.’ " It was hard to carry on trade negotiations during the course of a general election cam- paign but discussions with the United States were going forward. “I would ask you to give us the necessary power to go forward and complete the negotiations."

It would be difficult for a gov- ernment to carry on successfully negotiations in a state of mind that says “don't provoke them."

“The measure of respect shown to a country is the measure of re- spect l has for itself."

No Markets Lost by Conservatives

Answering charges that Canada had lost markets in the past five years, Mr. Bennett said it was only necessary to consult League of Nations statistics to learn that the contrary was true. Canada's pro- portion of the world export busi- ness had increased in those years. "Why do you let those people come here and decry your coun- try's success to make political cap- ital against the government of the day.

"When I see Hepburn running across the country saying things

like that I am not surprised. But when I hear them from Liberals who are responsible men I am sur-

prised.

"It is either ignorance or delib-

crate falsehood. You can excuse the first but there is no excuse for

falsehood." a

Mr. Bennett went on to discuss steps taken by the government by way of sulwentlons and other means, to assist the coal industry.’ In i928 the government spent $65,-

000 to further national fuel policies,

in 1034 the government spent $2,-

123,000 for that p se. Movement

of Canadian coal "ad increased

from 114000 tons in 1928 to well over 2.000.000 ions in 1934.

._“I wondered, after listening to that speech. if Canada had been a part of this world in the past-five years. It. would appear. that Can- ada had no share in the world de- pression."

Canada had been a part of the world ‘depression and had suffered even more perhaps than most other countries because of the great areas and small population. But he asked his listeners to under- stand that Canada. had come through better than most other countries. '

Saved Canada From Bankruptcy

Mr. Bennett described the ef- forts his government had taken as soon as elected to secure an. in- crease in exports as compared with irn a "I do not believe in lor- iffs." he said. "except as an in- strument of government and it was so~that we used it to save this country from bankruptcy.“ -

simultaneously to satisfy the BX- pansionist dreams of Benito Mus- solini.

Copies were given to Baron Pom- peo Aloisi and Tecle l-Iawfl-flfllifi. heads of the Italian and EthIOPW-n delegates. In League circles the general opinion was that Mussolini will re- ject, the project as a basis for ne- gotlations.

rr both Italy and ammonia w- cept it they will begin a. stage of dliliculr, and perhaps perilous X1080- tiations. Both will seek modifies-- tlons, it was believed-

The Italian spokesman said it seemed queer that when the 8P9“ powers recognized Italy's impera- tive need for expansion they should now produce a plan which provides so little for Italy.

Spokesmads View

“There is nothing at all for Italy in this scheme." lme spokesmen said today. “It is like offering us $500.- ooo for a, house we think worth $10,000,000. In‘ other words the scheme is not reasonable.”

Alolsi was expected to leave t0- morrow for Rome for a. conference with Premier Mussolini on the plan. ’ '

Splvador Je Madarlaga. 0111111111111 of the committee which maimed the plan, addressed a. special all- peal to‘ Aloisf and Hawariaie in ex- pedite thelr replies.

If Mussolini utterly rejects the scheme and Ethiopia accepts it. the council must decide whether t0 proceed under article 15 of the Covenant. In that case the sub- committee will probably be asked to frame a new report giving a de- tailed record of the entire contro- versy and jresenting definite re- commendations for its settlement. The project was described by League officials as being rather "the framework of a plan" that'- a finished plan itself for the tech- nlcal assistance of Ethiopia in ad- ministrative. economic. financial and social reform.

Offered as a basis of negotia- tions to both Italy and Ethiopia. ll will not be published I01- the time being.

The question of what national- ltles would help Ethiopia would be worked out later. with other de- tails, if the project is adopted.

It was understood Italy would be allotted the privilege of develop- ing Ethiopia economically and fin- ancially. but Ethiopia's political independence would be maintained. The British view of advantages to Italy is that it meets Italian claims for greater security with reference to her colonies bordering upon Ethiopia and gives Italy the advantage of opening up Ethiopia economically.

For Ethiopia it provides the as- sistance which she asks without the danger that this aid will be transformed into an Italian con- trol.

ROME. Sept. ill-A huge Italian war chest was in the waking \- night after the cabinet voted a loan to finance costly military prepar- ations in East Africa and at home. At the same time further steps were taken to insure the kingdom's economic independence.

Premier Mussolini rushed through measures to reorganize the tax program f0,» wartime conditions. 11 Duoe. among whose eight portfolios is that of minister cf war. also shifted military re ‘orcements to Italy's African colony of Libya be- cause of reports of a concentration of armed Senussite tribesmen on the Egyptian-Lyman frontier.

At the some time official spokes- men emphasized that all steps the British have taken in the Mediter- ranean or elsewhere are purely precautionary. and sensational re- ports published abroad were de-

With considerable stress, it was said in Downing Street of the "war-like construction" placed on naval movements: “There is noth- in: whatever to justify any such sensational observations.”

Enquiries by the Canadian Press tonight gave a clearer picture of major British naval dlspositlo , and it showed that of the Empire's i5 capital ships. no fewer than five are at present in ' ‘ dock- yards undergoing repairs, including the Ramillies which was in collis- ion recently.

The forces in the Mediterranean have been augmented to the ex- tent of two battle cruisers and three light-cruisers, which are at the Atlantic ‘gateway at Gibraltar; two or three destroyer notillas and their accompanying auxiliaries. The 1st battle squadron of the Mediterranean fleet remains at or- dinary strength, four capital ships. These are the Resolution, flagship of Ccrnmander-in-Chief Admiral Sir William Fisher, at Alexandria tonight; the Valiant. which re- places the Queen Elizabeth, the Barham. which replaces the Royal Bovmisn. and the Revenge.
