Dr. Grant discussed tariffs and Conservative election promises. He told about teeth he had pulled and abscesses he had opened in Dr. MacDonald's district. The latter had not told of all the pensions the speaker had got for men in the East Point district. He discussed soldiers pensions and the Cuban potato trade, quot- ing figures. In his last five minutes Dr. Grant discussed the King platform. “I'll tell you this myself, because it's true," said Dr, Grant. “My, Bennett notified the banks to loan no more money to the people. He wanted it to speculate in wheat." Dr. A. A. MacDonald in opening his address remarked that all Dr. Grant's arguments ware depression arguments. There was no doubt that Dr. Grant was giving free treatment Liberal Candidate Brought; To Task _;-. praised Dr. Grant. ce More iciud Senator hfaoDonald and The True-Test Senator MacDonald stated that five years ago the government had expected to do more than it bad done, but after all the test was: "How well has the government douc under the circumstances?" It was fortunate that Canada had a man like Mr. Bennett at the head of af- fairs during the period of great trial. , Dr. Grant had been boasting of what he had done for King's County. With reference to what he himself had done Senator Mac- Donald related that in 1927, there had been $1.000 voted for King's County. The other two counties had received $106,000. Now King's County received more than $100,000 but Prince County was not. discrim- inated against, although its rep- rcsentative was Liberal. Why had Dr. Grant insisted in stating that $60,030 had been loaned to the Canadian Pacific Railway, _ Senator MacDonald asked. In explanation of the situation Senator MacDonald stated that the c. ‘P. R. had been in need of money, and offered $100,000 in bonds as security for a $60,000 loan, as the bond market had been very bad at the time. Three banks had made the loan on recommendation of the Premier. A few months later the bonds had been sold at 96 in- stead of at 60. Senator MacDonald revealed the fallacy of ti» alleged Liberal sur- pluses. The government had nothing to do with the carrying out of the Marketing Act unless the people so voted. he said in reply to some statement made by Dr. Grant. The law which set up pensions tribunals to give returned men a better chance to get pensions was for votes. he charged, with refer- ence to remarks made by that can- didate. As regards soldiers pensions m. Grant had made many promises. The speaker himself on account of his work had been made an hon- orary member of the Legion in Souris. As far as .peIIS10!1s were concerned politics did not enter at all. except for some people who de- sired in make a political football out of the matter. The depression was lifting, as there were signs of improvement. The Liberals were trying to create a feeling against Mr. Bennett rath- er than against the policies of the Donald, Secretary for Colonies and Walter Runciman, President of the Board of Trade. Apparently only the battleships Nelson, Rodney and Royal Sove- ueign of the capital ship strength are left at home stations. _ (By James A.

Of all the leaders of governments there was not an- other man who worked as hard as Mr. Bennett. Dr. MacDonald dis- cussed the history of tariffs and the desire of countries in post-war years to become self-sufficient, I-le showed that under the King re- Eilhe the Canadian exports to U. S. decreased to only $6,000,010. It was remarkable that Dr. Grant should speak of old age pensions, in view of his perfldy in this con- nection. In 1927, Dr. Grant was a follower of a party which pm. mlsed old age pensions. The lead- er of that party wrote a letter to Ottawa saying he was not going to pay pensions. Although the trade of the world had dwindled by two. thirds since 1930. when Canada had an adverse trade balance, on March 31 last Canada had a fav- orable balance of trade.

He would like to give every man in the district a. job, he said. He crit- passed by the Bennett Government, stated the Senator. Untruthful Statement The most untruthful, the most ridiculous statement that Dr. Grant had made in five years was that Mr. Bennett hadordered the banks to pay no more money. "It makes one sick lo think that any person should make such a statement, a slander on a public man." Senator MacDonald compared conditions under the King and Bennett; administrations. He ex- plained the economies‘ effected by the Government and the methods of financing, and showed how Can- ada had improved her position by gaining a favourable balance of trade, as compared with the un- favourable balance under the King Government. He stressed the value of the Empire trade agreements. "All the high tariffs in the world against us were put on while the King Government was in power," stated Mr. MacDonald. While Mr. King had criticised Mr. Bennett for not making a trade pact with the United States he had not said a. word about the way he had let the United States trade go during his term of, office, In the last. four years Canada had made trade pacts with numerous foreign countries. What caused Cuba to shut out potatoes were duties against the whole world, hence Cuba had no grievance there. It was the pact between Cuba and the United States which had finally shut Can- ada out. the. Senator explained. ‘,"I‘herc ncvcr was any man who dealt as sharply and harshly and hardly with banks and big inter- ests of Canada ns did Mr. Bennett, stated the speaker in reply to Dr. Grant.

In its handling of external trade hisgovernment 118d not only retained Canada's proportionate share in the world export business but had increased it in the years from 1929 to 1934, Mr. Bennett said.

Trade Negotiation Dealing with external trade Mr. Bennett gave some detatils of the treaty negotiations with the United Canada following application of the States. I-Iis Government had secur- ed new markets by negotiations of the Ottawa trade agreements, de- velopment of home markets, and securing a treaty with France, and other treaties. An ofler had been made to the .d.-.w.. rld ant trading nations of the world. “Why should men go about de- crying their own country?" Mr. Bennett asked. when accurate world figures were available. Can- ada had 8.71 percent. of-the world's export business in 19H and bad in- creased thattolm pgreentin 193d. Banking Stability Through u» action taken by‘ his government, Canada was saved the experience of failing banks and lin- ancial institutions. By its action no cheque had been refused by reason of a bank failure and no 11;; m. surance benefits were lost by fall- ure of an insurance compam. But it; had meant borrowing and the borrowings had to be repaid. When Canada assumed these obli- gations those from whom we bor- rowed knew we would pay. By you- on of that reputation the other day we were able to borrow many mil- lions in the United States at a rate of less than =14 of one percent. _ Banks were ready and anxious to lend money, Mr. Bennett said, but the difficulty was those who wanted to_ borrow were in so many cases those who obviously could not hope to pay it back. . Mr. Bennett sketched efforts made by his government to seek wide markets abroad and improve internal conditions. “When we came info office we found 130,000,000 bushels of wheat carry over, It was a question ~of doing something for the farmer or allowing the industry to go to pieces." Decision was reached to support the market, “and when we momentarily ‘ ‘ ’ our efforts the price fell to the lowest level reached in 400 year's." "At the end cf five years we find ourselves with a couple of million bushels of wheat." i "What are you going to do with it?" questioned one of the audience. “Sell it", Mr. Bennett replied. "and not for 3B cents a bushel _eitl'ier." The Canadian Wheat Board had been. created to fix a minimum price for No. 1 northern wheat and assure the farmer a share in any increase over that price. The mini- mum had been fixed and the mark- at had steadily increased until it was being maintained well above the fixed price. United States of not only the Can- adian intermediate tariff but of most favored nation treatment which would give that country the same trading concessions as those accorded France, providing suitable return concessions were made with respect to certain Canadian ex- Nrts. The Prime Minister urged that a fresh mandate be given his government so that this work might be completed. To the wheat growers, Mr, Ben. nett declared. the Dominion had retained and increased its propor- tionafe sham of the world export market. Canada now supplied prac- tlcaily all the French import re. lllllfflmnll. _a large share of the - B-nd hid greatly increased its share of the United Kingdom business. Great responsibilities faced the government when it ‘took office five Y?!" S80. rising debt, falling mar- KQH. unfavorable trade balances and increasing numbers of unem- ployed. Mr. Bennett proceeded to review steps taken during the d9. Dression years to meet these prob. lems. _ REVIEWS GOVERNMENT POLICIES First resolve of the government had been "to maintain our ngttoml existence, our national inbegrityt and secondly to maintain confeder- ation itself." First consideration was that; 0g trade. The greatest closing of mar. ""5 "N? recorded was that of the United States against this country from 1921 to i930 culminating in the Hauler-Baum mm.

Do you think our efforts are aided by the speeches of Mr. Gardiner down in the Marltlmes? High powered lawyers, ablest; men in the House of Commons. Col. Ralston who represents Nova Scotia, have criticized. They have called us gamblers, trying to leave the impression among the people of the east their money was being used by the government to specu- te in wheat and give you a. few dollars." To repudiate a govemment that worked so hard for them in this respect, would at least indicate lack of the fundamental element of pat- riotism. ' Mr. Roosevelt received the neces- sary authority to go ahead with ne- gotiations. Soon thereafter Canada had offered the United States a basis for bargaining. "Since then both countries have been negotiating and United States has intimated that with respect to some items they were ready to enter into an agreement. "I don't know how far we can go but I am hopeful. I believe this government, having done so much, should be given a mandate to carry on their negotiations." There was also the matter of renewing the Ottawa ‘Prado Agreement which would come up in 1937. One reason he had remained in public life had been his fear for the future of these agreements in the face of public utterances of political opponents to the effect they would destroy them. Answer: Questions Mr. Bennett received several written questions passed up from the audience. To one question he said all the necessary legislation to complete his policies were within the constitution. Another asked the Prime Min- ister if it were true he had prevent- ed a lowering of interest rates. on potatoes shipped from the Mari. tlmm to Central Canada look m. co Wilson who returned from Moncton yestqg. day.
