Liberab but the somewhat aston- ished silence in which they heard this politically with the Lain-fer policy must have warmed his heart indeed. The Prime Minister was greeted be a volley of desk-pounding and cheering from his supporters. The demonstration lasted some minutes, "It may be a one-man Government, but certainly it has more than one mill’!

"There were no promises to spec- ial intereets," Mr. Bennett declared, employing the term used by Mr. King yesterday, "but a promise to the people from one end of the Dom- inion to the other." When Mr. King was defining the word "humbug" yesterday, the Prem- ier said he could not but think that the word was "being defined so clear- ly in order that the people might know how aptly it had been applied to the administration of the past nine years. Free-traders had protectionists and all had called for

Where Liberals Failed _

If the leaders of the former Gov- ernment had looked to the future, Canada would have been spared its economic disaster, said the Premier. The Opposition benches hooted. Where would the country have been he asked, if it had not been for the Fall session of Parliament? How many men on half pay or out of work before July 28 were now work- ing full time, he asked.

He strongly contradicted Mr. King's allegation that this was a one-mail government in which the Premier ac- ted without consulting his colleagues "I doubt if there has been for years a government in which relations in- ter-se have been more harmonious." he asserted. Those behind him ap- plauded, with the cabinet ministers’ Joining enthusiastically.

As regards the number of portfol- ios held by lqimself he held one more than Mr. King had as Prime Minis- t~r. As to the finance portfolio, the reasons he gave for retaining it at the Fall session were the reasons why he held it still. He had made certain lery definite promises to the country is regards fiscal policy. After acced- lng to omce he had gathered certain ‘nfcrmation here and at the Imper- al Conference regarding matters in various ‘parts of the Empire.

"When the conference was adjourn- ed," he continued, "1 believed it was desirable, rather than QIIdBIVOs to land over to someone else the know- edge 1 had gained, the information hat had come to me, that even hough it might involve greater toil llan 1 felt at my age to undertake. t was my duty to carry on until that onference was ended.

As to his manner of presentation an observer not a delegate had de clared his 17-minute speech there to be clear and incisive. The Liberals laughed, "Howard Ferguson," they suggested in chorri as the name of this observer.

"No it was not," Mr. Bennett re- plied. "I can only say if any honor- able gentleman opposite ever ap- |ll ached him in brains or capacity. he would be well endowed."

Parallel to Laurier

Mr. Bennett then turned to the main point of his speech regardlfla the Imperial Conference- He ap-

proached ‘it by quoting Richard Jebb -

the historian of theccnference, as saying that Mr. Bennett in 1930 "of- fered no more and no less” than Sir Wilfred Laurier had ofi'ered in 1902. Sir Wilfred's preferential ofler, Mir. Jebb wrote, was still lying on the table. /

Moreover, he quoted Sir Wilfred as tolling the conference of 1m that if tho other countries and the col- onies were not prepared Ii accept Canada's offer, than Canada diould (IVOIHJUIUIIOOQOHUIQIQIPSG-
