Hepburn Follows Re- pudiation Of Feder- al Leader With Dec- laration Of Provin- cial Party I n d e - pendence.

TORONTO. June 4-(CP) .-0niai'io’s Premier Mitchell liepurn. no longer a “Mac- kenzie King Liberal", said today he was determined to divorce the Ontario Liberal Association from federal po- litical affairs.

“The Dominion party will have to set up its own orga- nization in Ontario”, as- serted the youthful Premier. “The provincial and federal

bodies will operate separate- .

ly”. Mr. Hepburn’: lnfonnal an- nouncement of a piete divorce-

meiit of provincial from federal Liberalism brought no immediate winment from party leaders either litre or in Ottawa. He had paved lite way for the statement by crit- leiiliir Prime Minister King in o. public speech last night.

"I am n, reformer but I am not a iiukenzic King Liberal any long- er", lllr. Hepburn told the Canad- ian Life Insurance Officers‘ Asso- ciation. "I'll tell the world that lliid I holpe he (Mr. King) hears

As

Dramatic revelations of a major revolt within the Liberal party, aimed tn oust both Prime Minister Mackenzie King and lion. (J. A. Dunning and substitute a Iicp- burn-Gardiner control at Ottawa. are made in the first oi’ a series of three articles by an Ottawa. correspondent of the Financial Post (independent Liberal) .

"A better illustration of the old truth that still waters run deep

could hardly be afforded than the present political situation which centres in the Mackenzie King Government". says the Post writer. “On the surface. everything with that Government is calm. But it is like the calm before the storm. For under the surface a very dif- ferent situtation exists. There. hidden in the depths. powerful currents are flowing. Only those who have had some experience with their undertow can realize their strength".

The Gardiner Bid

“While thc political shrewdness of Ml‘. Hepburn is fairly well rec- ognized. even outside Ontario”. says the Post Wrltcr. "Hon. J. G. Gardiner. Minister of Agriculture, is probably the most underestim- ated member of the cabinet in the political Judgment of eastern Canada. What the people of On- tario. Quebec and the Maritimes seem to have failed wholly to grasp is that within the two years since the Liberals took office. “Jimmle" Gardiner has overtaken and passed all other likely candi- dates for the leadership of the party on l\ll‘.. King's retirement. Whether he is strong enough yet to command n. clear majority in a national convention by his owr. efforts is doubtful. but in an nlii- ance with Mr. Hepburn it is diffi- cult to see failure".

On the principle that it is a wise man who knows enough to retire ivhlle he is still iit the pin- nacle of his reputation. says the Post. Mr Mackenzie King should pass from the picture within afew years. He has one compelling ren- son to do so. He is anxious to write a history of his own time; and it will take a long time to write the record as Mr. King plans doing it.

The Post ivriter continues:

Mr. Dunnlngis Plight

"It. is beyond question that Mr. Dunning had Mr. King's prospect- ive disappearance from the stage and his own likely accession to the Liberal leadership strongly in his mind when he returned to Dilb- llc life in 1935. It was only logical that he should. In his business career he was achieving outstand- ing success. Why leave it then. unless to gratify at once the hiizh- est and worihiest ambition which a Canadian can cherish?

"Unfortunately for Mr. Dunning. however. the plum that two years ago seemed certain to drop into his lnp if only he had the patience to wait may elude him. The poli-

tical situation. which is never stat- ic. has altered so radically since 1935 as to make it less likely that he will ever become leader of the Liberal party.

“Why?

“The answer lies in the name of his old-time political rival, and present cabinet colleague, Hon. "Jimmie" Gardiner.

Long Term Feud

“The rivalry between Dunning and Gardiner is one which goes back to the old Saskatchewan days when both were members of the provincial legislature. Mr. Dun- nlng was premier: Mr. Gardiner only a private member. The time came, however. when Mr. Dunning was leaving the provincial field for Ottawa. A successor had to be chosen. Mr. Dunning was willing that it should be almost anyone other than Mr. Gardiner. When the smoke of battle had cleared away, however. Mr. Gardiner was in possession of the title.

"Two years ago he came to Ot- tawa. Immediately the old rivalry reopened. For both Mr. Gardiner and Mr. Dunnlhg are properly am- bitious. Mr. Gardiner set about in the first session of Parliament to win away Mr. Dunnings fol- lowing.

“One circumstance aided him beyond all measure in his ambit- ious course. That was the fact that when Mr. Dunning moved to the East and went into business. the West had become openly sus- picious of him. After residence in the East broadened his viewpoint. he was looked upon by some. prai- rie Liberals. whose idol at one time he was. as little less than a traitor to the western low-tariff faith. The West always needs a crusader. Mr. Dunning ceased. during his years in business, to be a crusader for the prairies. Mr. Gardiner succeeded him in that essential post.

“Furthermore. Mr. Dunning found himself unable to achieve easily some of the policies which he re- garded as of utmost importance to the country if its financial posit- ion was to be retrieved. His car- dinal belief was in the necessity of maintaining Canadian credit at so high a level that the country's debt. federal. provincial. and even municipal enuld be refunded and placed upon a sound basis. From the first. however. he had an Ab- erhrirt lo contend with. And then his trump card in the picture of Canada's credit. namely. the réli- ability of Ontario's reputatiomfail- ed him when Premier Hepburn re- pudiated the power contracts made by the province.

Dunning! Retirement

Delegates Discuss W 0 r l d Economic Outlook. June 15th Set As Closing Date.

BY GEORGE HAMBLETON

Canadian Press Stall Writer LONDON. June 4-(CP Cablcl The Imperial Conference Coin- rnittoes expect to complete their reports by Monday for submission to the chief delegates.

Thereafter will come the work of revising the reports and prepa- ration of resolutions. The fiiiril plenary session of the conference is scheduled for June 15.

On foreign affairs the rcsolirioii is not expected to go beyond a statement of general principles in- cluding a. declaration ofvbclicftliat the League of Nations should be preserved as a force for internat- | ional peace.

Economic Picture.

On the economic side a declar- ation is under discussing urging forward action to clear the streams of international trade.

As a first step, the Dominions favor in principle the proposed Anglo-American Trade Pact. But the detailed information they re- ceived f1'om the United Kingdom will take so long to examine that the possibility of a definite agree- ment before the Imperial Confor- ence rises is impracticable.

As the next best step, it is iiii- derstood, a declaration approvinf! economic appeasement as urged bv Prime Minister Mackenzie King of Canada when the conference op- ened will likely be adopted.

Negotiations subsequently would be continued between ihc United Kingdom and each dominion af- fected.

Unwanted Gohl

In the background of the econo- mic picture lies the strange prob- lem of unwinnted gold. Gold hoard- ed during years oi currency un- certainty. today was flung nil the London bullion market to the tune of £4,200,000.

It was a record for a siiiglc day, plunging markets into wild exciie- merit. Telephones were congested by anxious callers. Banks were flooded with cabled inquiries. Only a few years ago banking experts predicted a gold famine. Nations abandoned the gold sinn- dard and devalued their curren- cies. Gold consequently rose rap- idly in price. _Mines lilthcrlo uii- economic began to tiny. Riisstiii: production was phenomenal. The predicted gold famine became a glut with Great Britain and inc United States sharing the respon- sibility of buying gold.

Yital Problem

Now everybody is plundering where the next move lies. To South l Africa. the world's greatest prod- ucer of gold, it is a vital problciii. In its way the problem may (‘il- ter into negotiations toward an Anglo-American agreement. F‘nr South Africa may press for nil a- greement on gold as a quid-pm- quo to any concessions she makes in British preferences.
