National Disunity At Leadefs Door

Ontario Libera-l-I-‘remier Scathing= In Denunciation Of Federal Premiefs Partisan Record. A

—

TORONTO, Dec. li-Premier Mitchell Hepburn of Ontario returned today to the attack on Prime Minister Mackenzie King with the charge that Mr. King's 1930 “five- cent" speech in the House oi‘ Commons had done more to contribute to national disunity than anything that has happaned since.

The Empire Club was Mr. Hepburms forum for his deo- laration “I believe in one Canada, not nine Canadas.” Th! real foes of Canada were those who refused to see disaster ahead in the piling up of public debts and who refused to prepare for national defence by monetary reforms and by dealing with unemployment. _

“Now, in regard to William Lyon Mackenzie King," said Mr. Hepburn. “This gentleman charges me with con.- spiracy to destroy Confederation. There is no more loyal Canadian than I. I love this Canada and am proud to know it is a link in the British Empire. _ _

“I am not only s. Canadian, I am an imperialist if you want to call me that.

"This Mr. Ki! who charlw m! ' with enlerinf in a consfllraoy to destroy Con adoration is the some gentleman who in 1930 got up in Parliament and enunciated a policy that did more to destroy Confed- eration than anything else that has happened. King said "not a five-

cem piece for relief to any Pro- vince with s. Tory Government."
