(continued from Page 1) factor of the 0.0.1". strength. The Liberal party here is engaged in its m“; desperate struggle in any oi the provinces to prevent what looked a few short months ago like g complete sweep from becoming a total loss. Caught between the popularity of the government's wheat policy and the growth of the CCF. resulting from the Regina Hots, the Liberals are being ground between the upper and the nether millstones. The present outlook is that they may not save more than “half s dozen seats from the wreck, while the Conservatives have good chances in an equal number and an apparent certainty of at least three.

Not Recovered i

In Alberta the Liberals have not yet recovered from the stunning blow dealt them by the Social Credit movement, as previously ex- plained in this despatch. However, the issue of success or failure in this province depends -upon the direction in which the Aberhart forces throw their strength. The Liberals have no hope whatever oi benefiting and they have all but ceased campaigning. Hon, Charles stgwart, veteran Liberal minister, ALMOST TOTAL is facing certain defeat. E. S. Gar- land of Bow River and W. J1 Irvine of Wctaskiwine, two of the most vocal members of the C.C.F.y group in the last Parliament, have run foul of the Social Crcdit organ- ization and will pay for it with their political lives. For the Con- wrvatives, Mr. Bennett is a certain victor in West Calgary. Dr. J. S. Stanley has a. good chance in -East Calgary and General J. S. Stewart of Lethbridge is also looked upon as a likely winner. With a quiet word from Social Credit head- quarters. however, thero are an- other half-dczen ridlngs, notably Edmonton, MacLeod and Medicine l-lat, where Conservative candidates could be elected.

' Provide Music

British Columbia presents the final spectacle of Liberal disorgan- ization, just as it does the notable example of 0.0.1". strength. For lome time past Liberal speakers have been unable to secure hear- ings at their own meetings. To meet the situation the provincial organization has adopted the ex- pedient of providing musical enter- tainers. The result so far is that the Liberal meetings have become free concerts with the Liberal or- gnnization footing the bill. The public will listen only to the var- ious instrumental and singing art- ists. They demand encores alter encores until it is time to go home, and it is as much as a candidate's life is worth to attempt to inter- rupt the entertainment. From force oi circumstances the Liberal party has gone impressario ln a big way and~for the time being is offering serious competition to local movie houses.

Final Refuge

The final refuge the party has taken is in the force of repressi n. "Gerry" McGee;- is mayor of Va 1- couver. He is also Liberal candi - ate in one of the city ridlngs. A1 d in his former capacity he is taki g FIPDS to see that in his latter ca acity he is given a hearing. A cit,

break the policy of your govern- ment and force upon Canada a fire sale of its surplus wheat, assisted by some Canadian big interests represented by the Sifton press." ‘Dealing with Liberal opinions of government policies, Mr. Bennett declared that while Liberal leader Mackenzie King was declaring the minimum wheat price was proposed by his party, Premier Gardiner of Saskatchewan was declaring in Nova Scotla that the fixed price was an election move. While Mr. King was at Halifax "with his olive branch for industry and protec- tion," Ontario's Premier Hepburn was "at Moose Jaw dismantling the whole Canadian tariff structure with its exchange and anti-dump- ing duties, Has anyone ever seen such a spectacle?"

Declaring that Mr. King had failed to declare himself on monet- ary and currency matters, Mr. Ben- nett said the Liberal leader's stand had been made clear in the House of Commons on April 26, 1932, when he spoke on a resolution of CCF. leader J. S. Woodsworth, on na- tionalization of the financial sys- tem. Then Mr. King had asked the question-“to whom would.you en- trust nationalization of our finan- cial system?"

Scores King

Mr. King's answer to his own question was that he did not believe “any group of persons who have given thought to these matters would attempt. a task of this kind in Canada at this time." Mr. Ben- nett then quoted from Mr. King's speech at Saskatoon last Saturday when the Liberal leader was report- ed as promising aid to the Social Credit Government, and “pleads for majority to fight money power in next Parliament." Mr. King had been in office nine years "and the story of Beauharnois is the story of how 1th‘. King fought high fin- ance at that time."

' Mr. Bennett asked the questions: “Where dces Mr, King stand with his western lieutenants who favor the issuing immediately of more

with no resources behind them? Where does he stand with respect to tariffs, with respect to bargain-

ing, with respect to the Ottawa agreements?" Declaring that although Mr.

King. in his campaign speeches had abandoned opposition to the government's tariff policies. he had already given notice to the Empire that he would reduce tariffs 50 percent and, “freely offer your in- dustries on the altar of Manches- ter Liberalism," Mr. King would not be in a position to negotiate new agreements in 1937, because "he has already sold the pass." While Mr. King had "made and written speeches about social qucs- tions," the reform program of the Conservative party ‘was on the statute books. “He pretends to de- cry the methods of big business and still hopes he will excllc your pie- ludices by holding me up as their willing servant.

"Perhaps he has taken the ad- viceihat Mr. Hepburn is reported to have given his party workers in Toronto, that the politician has to play up to the man on the street occasionally. such as taking a crack at the bankers. and that al- though our financial institutions were doing the bcst they could, you had to give them a ride once in a while-men of the Aberhart and Stevens type would steal your votes."

Liberalism and Industry

Mr. King's tariff prOmLsOs to the British government, if fulfilled. would put 60 percent of Canada's factory workers out of employment. Mr. Bennett/charged. “He will do nothing substantial to find other work for them."

Suggesting that Mr. King rccant his Woodstock references to the govemmentts trade dispute with Japan, the Prime Minister quoted figures to show that a female cot- ton spinner in ihat country rc- ceived less than 20 cents a day, a male spinner about 40 cents. a blacksmith so to 75 cents, leather workers about 60 cents. and domes-

"They receive wages ... which our unemployment camps where men receive food, clothing. s'elier and 20 cents a day Rf!‘ generous in comparison. It is ag- ainst that competition we are nro- tecting Canadian workers. Does anyone within sound of my voice want to submit the workers of this cnuntrv to competition of that kind?"

mat created anew conflicting hopes ""1 fem as moons of the state- ment circulated.

One deduction of the delegates was that Aloisrs denial of any of- flclal sanction to his virtual Pfljeg- tlon of the essentials of the peace Plan meant Mussolini wishes to keel) "his liberty of action" and to have no official relations with the league.

Another 0Dinion was that Muss- olini wishes to keep open their-loo;- of conciliation,

The announcement did much to dispel immediately rumors of an imminent Italian break with the Iensue of Nations.

These counter proposals were re- ported to include demands for a belt of Ethiopian territory connect- ins Italy's African territories of Eritrea and Somallland west of Ad- disaababa. total disarmament of Ethiopia. and the placing of’ that "Joy's armed forces under Italian ’_ "T5. T1183’ were characterized 1n British sources as removing all hope of conciliation-if official.

UNSATISFACTORY ‘

The British announced they were "very imwflling to accept anything so definitely unsatisfactory" as an ofiiclal reply from Italy.

. But nevertheless Italian ssumes said Baron Pompeo Aloisl. chief It- alian delegate. had confirmed to Salvador de Madaraiaga, chairman of the five-power committee, the observations he made last night concerning the committee propos- als which ll Duce's cabinet has labeled unacceptable, adding that the observations were those of the Italian government,

Tonight Anthony Eden of Great Britain and Premier Laval of France conferred earnestly on the grave situation. Thetcommittee of five, after officially publishing its plan for peace, prepared to meet again tomorrow before finally re- porting to the League council that it has. been relented 11y Italy and accepted by Ethiopia.

The question now is. what pro- ccdure will the Ireague follow. It seems hardly possible that concil- iation can be continued in facc of the present deadlock. The commit- tee draws up its reports tomorrow or Wednesday to consider the sit- uation.

ACTION UNDER ARTICLE l5

If the Council acts under Article 15 it can make the rejected plan the plan of the League and Italy can only resort to war in defiance of the Covenant. Article 15 is that which provides that if there should arise between members a dispute likely to lead to a rupture mem- bers agree to submit it to the Council and if the dispute is not settled the Council may publish its statement and conclusions.

This leads directly to Article i6- in which sanctions are contemplat- ed. "Should any member of the League resort to war in disregard of its covenants. ...it shall ipso fac- to be deemed to have committed an act of war against all other members of the league."

Amid the gathering tension. the news from Rome that Mussolini had issued tentative instructions for the possible evacuation of Nap- les and other port cities in case of emergency added a grim touch. In a front page article, the well- informcd and moderate “Journal cle Geneva" warned there would be a catastrophic outcome to any rcnl clash between the British Emuirc and Mussolini! new Roman m1- pirc.

One not»; of optimism remained ——the unmistakably softer language of recent Italian COIIIIIIIIIIICBHOIIS. However, one British delegate rc- marked: “While the tone is bet- ter, the substance is the same or worse."

Italians argued there was no huny; that the time-gaining pos- slbilitias oi’ the Rogue's peace ma- chinery are by no means exhaust-

ed.

Ethiopia's reply to the ‘League committee proposals. made public tonight. stated that nation was "willing to open negotiations im- mediateiy on the basis of the com- mittee's suggestions" for interna- tional development 0f Ethiopia. Thc reply emphasized the essen- tlal part of the committee plan is recognition of the right of the Em- peror to reject at will any for!!!" adviser who might not posses his full confidence.

URANGE lssll ANNIVERSARY u slur can

Appropriate sermon by Dr. J. W- S. Lolvry.

On Sunday afternoon in the Presbyterian Church at Canoe Cove a large congregation assembled for the special service in commemor- ation o.‘ the 140th anniversary of the organization of the Loyal Orange Asociation. The band 0! the salvation Army under Adjutant Stevens led the procession of the L.O.L., and the L.O.B.A., from the village hall to the Kirk, playing sacred airs. appropriate to the oc- casion. Impressive exercises of de- votion and praise were conducted within the time honored sanctuary by the Minister and elders, after which Rev. Dr. Lowry delivered the sermon for the day on the mbiect of Standing fast for Christ and His Truth. bascd upon the words of Galatians V: 1. “stand fast therefore, in the Ilberty wherewiih Christ hath made us free. and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage."

The speaker said that the duties and respoiuibilitics of the christ- ian iifé might be CXDIESiZCI in the one term of “ivltncssing" or “standing fast for Christ," for every sincere believer should be a living witness for the‘ truth a. it is in Jrsur. God requires that his people should bear testimony for Him, for the God of their salva- tion, that “He is the Lord, merri- fui and gracious, forgiving in- iquity. transgression and sin," \ihe true Jehovah of hosts, the Holy One of Israel. These precious trulhs could not be learned or understood by science or philosophy, but only as revealed in the scriptures of truth. This saving knowledge of the gospel could never have emanated from the mind of man, it must come from the Spirit of God who regenerates the soul dead in trcspasscs and in sin. Worldly- mindcd people regard religious zeal and earusstness as undue enthusi- asm and cmotionalism: but with those who have tasted and sccn that the Lord is good and gracious, and that all thc"e are blessed who put their Ifllii’. in Him. his pros- ence with them is a living vital experience of having passed frcm death unto life.

People of God were much temp- ted today to put their light under a bushel. and to compromise with the world; but they should re- member how they were “compascd aboutwith so great a cloud of ivltnesres," that they themselves ought to be “living epistics of Christ." “shining as lights in the world," "holding forth the Word of Life."

Referring to that. great Proicsl- ant- anniversury. Dr. Lcwry said that true living Bible Pratecanli.» m is. witnesing for Chgfst.
