Following upon a day of bitter warfare between prosecution and defence, Reilly said at adjourn- merit: “I'll give you a hint cs to what the future holds. "The most important question of the defence case today was asked when I cross-examined Elsie Whateley, the wife of the Lind. bertrh butler?’ The question was: "Didn't your husband and you know Dr. Oondon at New Rochelle in 1931?" lvlrs. Whateleyb reply was, "no we did not.” Whateley. the butler, is dead. "It is obviously odd." Reilly de- clared, "that the mysterious Violet Sharpe commits suicide; that Whuteley gets a stomach ache and dies suddenly; that Mrs. Whateley goes to England shortly after Betty Gow leaves for Scotland, All this. shortly after the Lindbergh baby disappears. i "Them are a great many dis- connected angles in the case which we propose to compose into a clear account of the Lindbergh mystery.

The attorney also asserted he was “happy" because he soon will have a chance to cross-examine Betty Cow, the nurse of the slain baby. "She'll tell the truth. I feel sure," he said, "and explain a great number of things."

The lvflrertresle minister said down and required radical his policies. Mr. Bennett castigated the sys- tem which he said, pennltted large numbers of willing workers to be unemployed, that kept. producers from their just share of the world's wealth and allowed non- produoers to secure what, he be- lieved to be an unequal share. He decried the belief that a workman should be held to hil tllk through- lf-i Vi! “'0' vei-y serious situation" when ‘the price of bread, the staple food of a country, was influenced by market speculation. He had no, objection to hedging but he believed the commission should consider compelling the milling companies to post their speculative holdings at stated dntes, suggesting this be considered in preparing a report to parliament. "Li" ‘t; From Spiculatlon" All thmuoh the milling investi- gation, there have been repeated references to an item of $3,031,220 in the 1930 annual report oi’ the Maple Leaf Company which was described vs “losses from unauth- orized s‘ "cation." It has been understood this item, which even- tually forced changes in the capital structure of the company, will be investigated when milling officials take the witness stand. Milling company officials also will be asked to explain why ex- port prices for flour are lower than domestic prices. Once again, com- mlssion investigators said they could not secure enough informa- tion from the companies relating to export shipments and the sug- gestion has been made that Con- adlans pay a few cents a barrel more to enable the mlllers to corn- pete in foreign markets.

The new legislative proposals were discussed only in s. general way and were not presented as the complete outline of the govern- ment's reform programme. “Clear- ly it would be unwise," he said, "to circumscribe our activities by any attempted forecast of all that should be done. We can but move forward carefully." With respect to intervention in business in the way of regulation and control, which Mr. Bennett declared Wednesday was essential to any policy of reform, he gave no details tonight.

B. Bennett tonight as part of his new reform policy. Delivering the second of a series of pre-election ad- dresses which he started Wednesday nighi, Mr. Bennett reiterated his belief that the economic system had broken saved and made serviceable to the people. He proposed to make those changes and expressed the confidence that once the people knew the true conditions in Canada they would give him the support to enable him to carry out alterations if it was to be fects, I do so also with knowledge. Bisar that in mind as you listen t0 what I sly. If you held the views I do, what would‘ you require to be done? Would you demand reform? Would you demand that the government, as the only power able to effect the necessary measures or reform. sot decisively and without delay? would you petition the government to intervene? Would you proclaim the urgent freed of government regulation of business? I think you would, if you had a. proper regard for your own welfare. And of course you have. and so assuredly have I. ‘Therefore the government has intervened. Not only has it reo solved on certain reforms but it has in fact already taken action. The nature of this initial action I shall discuss s. little later on in these talks when we come to oun- side;- the character, purpose, and extent of our reform programme. Test Of Employment What is the best test which we can apply to determine whether 0r not this system, which we have all supported so steadfastly, is really operating with 100 percent efficiency? The best test we can apply is the lest of employment. Behold the sad and idle multi- tudes throughout the worltL If the system is functioning as ii. should, why are there so many unem- played? We are told that machine lab- our has replaced manual labour. In a. sense there may be some truth in that statement. But certainly it does not begin to aziswer the qups- tion to my satisfaction. The real answer is that there is something wrong with the system and the real duty of the government is to find out what the trouble is in Canada. and to correct it. ‘Hum again, take the conditions of labour. Compare the lower scales of wages with taxes, interest and other elements in the cost of liv- ing. Compare uuigcs paid with profits made. Look it our public and private debt. Is it not tre- mendous, and still mounting? Can we honestly say that we are Illilk- ing satisfactory headway toward correcting those conditions and lightening our burdens? I fcar that we cannot.
