Mr. Bennett's ‘Retirement

[he announcement of the retirement of the Rt. Hon R. B. Bennett from the leadership of the Conservative party is a matter of nation- widc interest and regret. Uncertain health coni- pcls him to take this course. but he will continue to carry on until a national convention of the party is held. probably in July. It is no Secret his zeal for the interests of the party

that only _ ind of Canada has kept him at l1tS onerous duties. .

Mr. Bennett liiid_achievcd great Weiilth and

outstanding success in the legal profession wncn he took over the Conservative party leadership, to which he was elected at a National Conven- tion at. Winnipeg in 1927. At that time. m d?‘ clarcd he would consccratc himself apd his means to his country's service. He carried out

this intention by withdrawing from many direc-

torates and devoting his ability and immense capacity for work to his public duties. He was returned at the head of _his party in the federal general election of 1930 with I37 seats out of 245, and shortlv afterivards called a special ses- sion of Parliament at which an appropriation 0f $20,000,000 was set aside to deal with unemploy- ment. p _

Thereafter Mr. Bennett laboured to achicyc the Empire trade pacts, based on preferential tariffs. He was successful at the Ottawa con- ference of i932, which concluded with the sign- ing of elcvcn trade agreements between the Dominion and the Mother Country. It_ has been said truly that these agreements, negotiated dur~ ing the worst period of the world ydcprcssiori, proved the sheet-anchor of Canadas trade in the years immediately following Even today, with a government of another party complexion -iii power at Ottawa. they are conceded still to be the greatest factor iii Canada's recovery.

Like most governments which bore the brunt of the fateful depression years. the Bennett ad- ministration mct defeat iii the gcncratelection of 1935. Mr. Bennett accepted the verdict with- out bitterness and continued. "as Opposition leader, to serve his country as faithfully in that capacity as he had previously done as Prime hlinister. _ _

Mr. Bennett enhanced his reputation as a statesman by the world tour ivhich he took prior to the Coronation, which liclpcd to cetnent the relationship between the different parts of the Commonwealth and Canada. .

Although he is resigning the leadership on the advice of his medical examiners, this does not mean that Mr. Bennett's health is in Jeop- ardy, or that it will be necessary from him to retire altogether from public life. It is‘ hoped that this willnot be necessary, and that his out- standing abilitv and experience will still be at ‘he service of his party and country.

i uiir lackadaisical politicians in power in this Province should buck up and take an obicct from“ their liberal colleagues in New iliiriinlictr. The Otlifl’ day, in the New Bums-- slqpJys-viiilgtiirc, Premier Dyaart boldly dc- “ ‘ v the; ltlngi Government. scheme to. tride-

Mr. Dysai-t said, was that Shcdiac would be the terminus and he read a strongly worded telegram which lic had sent to Transport Min- ister Howe 0n the subject. Opposition Leader F. C. Squires indorsed the Premier's remarks. commending him for having taken his position “well and strongly.”

Imagine Premier Campbell getting up in our all-Liberal Legislature and denouncing scheme. short of towing this Province out tn sea and sinking it in ii\l(l~UCCZlii, that had emanat- ed from the Mackenzie King Government! lin- agine any one of his cabinet colleagues or sup- . porters doing such a thing! Yet in New Bruns- wick thcy forget party politics at times and put provincial interests first. They make no bones about calling their friends at Oflilwlt sharply and publicly to account. If the Camp- bell Government would show a little of this iii- dependcnt spirit, they might yet achieve some, thing faintly resembling the campaign promises‘ they made to the electors.

“Champerty" and “maintenance” are two legal terms just so mtich arabic to the laymen, and therefore we are all the more indebted to Chief Justice Perrault of the Montreal Court of Sessions for interpreting them. Defining the offence of chaniperty, Judge Perrault said the other clay that authors held it to be “a bargain with the plaintiff or defendant, ‘campus partirc’ to. divide the land or other matter sued for be- twccn them, if they prevail at law, whereupon the chanipertor is to carry on the party’s suit. at his own expense." “Maintenance may short- ly be described as an improper intermcddling with litigation in which the intcrvcner has no concern," said the judge. “It is a misdemeanor punishable with imprisonment at common law, though many old statutes have prescribed parti- cular penalties for various species of the of~ fence.” » a r s m
