Boncls Regain Former Level After Setback

LONDON, Sept. 17—Trade in Canadian bonds and stocks on the London exchange remained mori- bund today pending political devel- opments in the Dominion.

Prime Minister R. B. Bennett's address oi last Wednesda , includ- ing references to easier credit and lower interest rates, was followed by a momentary flutter in which prices were marked down rather sharply but Canadian bonds quick- ly regained their former level.

necessary to pass the leadership on to another the party was pledged to carry out the policies he had enuncfite‘... This was the only way in which a oarty could be held to its promises and the only way Canada could be held to the ideal of democracy and preserved from dictatorship.

“This method of carrying on government," he said, "may neces- sitate less in the way of promises but I believe it will mean very much more ln the way oi per- formance." i

Administration Not A Success

Claims

Mr. Bennett had spoken of his success as a business man but the five years oi Bennett rule W131i their unemployment, debt ln- creases and trade stagnation made it apparent success in business was no guarantee to success in public administration.

Different "qualities and methods were necessary in the two fields. So-cluled businem successes were often due to a ruthless disregard of humanitarian considerations and thes" could not be disregarded in ‘government.

In international trade M". Ben- nett had proceeded by “the hard trading way, the way that puts_ present material interests before ‘all else." He sai" this was the Con- servative way but it_ was not the Liberal way.

Liberals believed neither nations nor individuals could live to themselves and the good of all meant the good of each. They b:- lieved Ly a new approach to inter- national trade they could expand Canadian business though they would not sacrifice Canadian in- terests. '

M.r King said there was a grow- ing conviction the followers of Mr. Bennett and Hon. H. H. Stev- ens, Reconstruction Par-Q’ Leader. were only temporarily estranged and would unite after the election. The differences, ii any, were per- sonal-ones.

After delivering his speech Mr., King left for Western Canada to continue his campaign tour. His first meeting is at Brandon, Man., on Thursday.

OTTAWA, Sent. 17—Followlng is the partial text of Mr. Mackenzie King's .,address:

Crltlclses Bennett's Policies

“Within the past l0 days, you have had the opportunity of lis- tening to four radio addresses by .the Prime Minister. The impres- sion Mr. Bennett's addresses have left upon my mind, and, 1 feel sure. also upon yours, is that Mr. Bennett stands today, just where he stood five years ago, His basic policies remain those upon which he acted right along. The five years and more during which his Governmenthas been in office have taught him little or nothing. He appears to be as determined as ever to have his own way, and his alone. He is as b'irld as ever to the disastrous COHSQQUGHuc of many of the methods he has been pursuing.

"Moreover, Mr. Bennett's appeal remains the same. He continues tn belfrve that promises count for more than all else in a political campaign; that promises will do the trick. a second time; especial- ly if they lire on a grand scale. and made with sufficient em- phasis."

The past five years should have taught Mr. Bennett something of promises as hc had failrd even to begin toi plemerlt his promises of i930. But he now sought to out- do his performance then. He also announced a new reform program after failing in the one launched last January. '_

Mr. Bennett was running _true to form. No hint oi these poicies was breathed in parliament and the Conservative party had not been colrulted. influential Con- servatives had ridiculed the Ben- :.ett policies and there were no guarantees they would be carried out. But should Mr. Bennett lose his seat or cease to lead. his party theze was no assurance it would feel bound by a single one of his promises. The some miflllt be said of Mr. Stevens and the Reconstruclion Party.

It should never be forgotten that the men elected oriOct- 14 would control the destinies of Canada for five years. _

"Above all, in times such as the present. with great inie " l as well as national problems to be faced, Ind with the possibility of war at our. very doors. you will do well to consider how inadvisable it is that the fate of Canada should be in thehands of any one man. Surely. it lilust be DWI-NM to Ill ‘that. we cannot too quickly return to government by a ministry com; posed of many men, each bring- ing his experience and judgment to bear, not to appearances, but in reality. unon mflllentoul issues of our dty- ' i diffend from’

see that the policies thus endorsed are carried out. 1 need scarcely add that " is in this manner alone that. notwithstanding a change in its leadership. s political party can be_ held to its promises and policies.

“This method of carrying on Government may necessitate less in the way of promises, but it will mean, I believe very much more in the way ni performance. More over, it will serve to hold Canada true to the ideal of democracy. and to preserve our country from dic- tatorship. Sooner or later, dictator- ship inevltably leads to the de- struction of liberty. It is leading today to war.

Paves Way For Defeat

"If, for any reason, in this gen- eral election, I, myself. should suf- fer defeat in the constituency of Prince Albert. which has honored me with its representation during the past 10 years, and be preclud- ed subsequently from entering Parliament, I would be able to hand over the party leadership to anothe" with the certain know- ledge that it was something more than merely the leadership of a political party which was being transferred. 1 would feel that what I was handing over was a. great trust which the Liberals had committed to my charge."

Canada had five years of "Ben- nett promises and policies." They had benefited no one unless a few privileged interests.

It was all very well for Mr. Ben- nett to say he would remedy un- employment, the ruined trade and the stagnation which had accom- panied his regime but if his pol- icies were good why had they not succeeded before this. The polic- ies werg wrong and instead of changing them Mr. Bennett pro- Dusfd to apply them on a wider sea e.

"The worst feature about all that Mr. Bennett has to say is that he asu that unemploy-

ment and depression are bound to continue indefinitely, whey, he h” been insisting right along was only a temporary condition, has now become chlonic. His attitude is one of defeat and despair. Instead of planning for plenty, he plans for scarcity. Instead of aiming at the expansion of trade, he aims at further restriction of trade. In- stmd of ending unemployment he now proposes to end work.

“It is the logical developme ‘ of the policy of economic national- ism. which he says he deplores. but from which, in his blindness, he can find no means of escape. 1n planning for scarcity. rather than for plenty, his first step was to restrict or to prohibit trade. That successfully accomplished, the next step was to limit the produc- iion and restrict the sale of com- nloditles. This being in process cf accomphshment. he now proposes to restrict wotk itself, by prescrib- ing the years within which a man shall be permitted to earn his daily bread." ,

Japanese Trude

Mr. Bennett had promised to blast a way into the markets of the world but all he had done was "blast Canadian trade out of some of its most profitable markets." Japan was the most recent in- stance and to cover his blunder he now sought to raise a bogey.

“There is not the slightest grounds for the contention that, if a Liberal Government 1s re- turned to power. Canada's inter- csts will in any way be prejudicial- ly affected by the action of the Liberal Government in its deal- ings with Japan, or. for that mat- ter with any other country. It would be my hope. 1f a. Libezal Government were returned to of- fice. that it might still be possible to recover the market in Japan that apparently has been lost to Canad through Mr. Bennett's policies, and hlihdndling of the situati- -, but it would not be by any sacrifice. by Liberals, of Con- adian interests."

The Libsral party believed far- rcaching and substantial reduc- tions could be made in tariff rates but a Liberal Government would not ignore the legitimate interests of Canadian producers. If returned to power it would:

"Immediately and materiality re- ducc duties on those articles which enter into the cost of production of our primary industries."_

"Effect immediate substantial reduction in the duties on the lléctbfllriul of life and thus afford a direct measure of relief to every home and every indivldua."

"Abolish all unwarrante extra taxes on imports as imposed and administered by the present gov- ernment."

Seek larger markets abroad through reciprocal trade agree- ments and. believing many nat- ions were sick of economic notion- slism, "welcome a genuine attempt to find of increasing mut- ual trade on a fair and friendly basis." '

. Says Stevens ‘Tuuotioo-I"

Whil a member of the Ben- nett Government, Mr. Stevens was the "most fanatical advocate of those policies of extreme economic nationalism which have destroyed the tade of Canada."

Although it was denied there was an alliance between It. Stevens

qeibeosnecrvoteve-poltyltwm

interesting to note no Conserve- tive candidate was opposing Mr. Stevens in Kcotenay East and no

Reconstruction candidate opposin Mr Bennett in Calgary West.

“This does not look like war to the death. There is a growing mn- viction than. whatever may be the feeling between Mr. Bennett and Mr. Stevens, the followers of both are only mporarlly in different camps, that, once the elections no over, their forces will speedily unite. M.r. Bennett, it will be le- oalled, had nothing ‘to say of Mr. Stevens in any save the last, of his addresses. What he had to say was mostly in the nature of an effort to minimize the difference between them, or oi a borrowing from Mr. Stevens stock-iii trade."

Reviews Liberal Policies

The Liberal party had definite policies which had unanimous support and were notspeclaliy con- cocted fol" the eeetion.

"The Liberal party is pledged to regard unemployment as Can- ada's most urgent problem. ito deal with unemployment as a nat- ional problem, and through the agency of a representative nation- al commission, to co-operate with the provinces and municipalities in the administration of un- employment relief, and in an en- deavor to provide work for the unemployed.

"To the enactment of a stitutionally valid system of un- employment insurance, wind, es rapidly as the financial position of the country warrants, its expan- sion into a general scheme of social insurance. including health Jnsurance as well as old age pen- slons:

‘To policies which will Tibcrate and expand our external trade, upon which depends industrial and commercial recovery.

“To the liberation of internal trade. by ending artificial price control and price fixing. which restricts and hampers trade lntemaly;

"To the development of primary

COD-

industries, by reduction in the costs of instruments of produc- tlon;

“Tc state assistance in the

marketing of natural products;

“To the restoration of control by the state over currency and credit, through the reconstitution of the Bank of Canada; '

"To the establishment of an in- vastment control board;

"To the maintenance of the in- tegrity of the Canadian National Railways;

“To the democratization of in- dustly, through policies which will seek to give to workers and con- sumers a larger share in the gov- ernment of industry;

“To the restoration oi respon- sible government;

"To the re-assertion of personal

liberty, and the right of free speech and free association; "To measures of electoral re-

form, to ensure a true parliamen- "tary representation of the people, and to reduce the cost of elect‘on campaigns: _

"To a balanced budget;

"To retrenchment of public ex- penditures;

"To reduction cf the principal and interest on the public debt;

‘To an inquiry into federal- provlncial and municipal costs cf Government;

"To a. furtherance of internat- ional peace and the work of the League of Nations;

"And to a more equitable dis- tribution cf wealth. which will have regard to human needs, to the furtherance of social justice. and the promotion of the common good."

Mr. Bennett had sought to warn the people of Canada against the Liberal leader and at the same time had admitted the reform program had been held up by his own illness. His attitude "a litte hard" on his colleagues in the Cabinet and his fellow Conserv- atives.

"Hole. I may. perhaps be al- lowed to say to Mr. Bennett that. whatever my qualities for leader- ship may be, I have never found it necessary, in order that my own personality might thereby be mag- nified, to deprive my colleagues of due credit for what/has been ac- complished by the administration of which I have been the head."

1t was ‘clear from Mr. Bennett's words that the carrying out of his policies depended not only on

on the condition of his health. What assurance was there Mr. Bennett might not again “let h party down" and "let you down." To guard against such contingen- cies‘ control of affairs should be widely distributed among members of a Cabinet.
