In proof of this statement he read the high tariffs prevailing against Can- adian farm and fish products when the Bennett Government took office --tariifs which hud been imposed by the United States and other for- eign countries during the regime of the Mfiakcnaie King administration. During that time Mr. King had made no effective protest against these duties.

Tlia day of straight Conserv- ative-Liberal duelling for Federal seats was a shadowy memory as the new and untried parties-Ashe Co-operatlve Commonwealth lied- oration. Social Credit ‘and Recon- striicticn-took their place beside representatives of the old parties all along the line. .

Arriving alongside this afternoon, the Ariguani began taking off passengers at 4.30 E.S.T. and completed the transfer about eight o'clock.

She immediately turned and headed back for King- ston, her skipper expecting to arrive before midnight. Taking the shipwreck as “more or less of an exper- ience," the passengers changed boats with perfect discip- line and withoutmlahap.
