Confederation.

m» n» semi. Thinking

"I am 05 years of age. When one reaches my time of life, ambitions dim. the love of power dies, the plaudits of the multitude can scarce be heard, its condemnation is just‘ as meaningl . Therefore, I speak without much thought in my place in the national scene af- ter polling day. I ask you to be- lieve that. because I want you, in these days of national danger, to think without like or dislike of me, of what. I tell you. I will put the basic issues before you fairly, fully, for your decision. Examine them patiently. Deal with them as if each one of you were the solc ar- biter of your country's destiny. Vote, therefore, not for party, but for yourselves, your children, your welfare, your country. Vote as your duty to these compels you to vote. Otherwise you will assuredly votc wrong.

Mr. King's Forlorn Cause

“When I speak of my deep desire to serve you. I do not intend upon that basis to suggest any difference between Mr. King and myself. He also wishes your welfare. He has been long ln public life. l-Ic might fairly claim a. release from it. As- surcdly he has earned your com- mendation and your kindly fare- wcli. But he comes before you once again as the leader of Liber- alism, asking for your support. That is a tribute to his patriotism. And yet you must deny him. 11hr he comes as thc leader cf a. party once great. whose greatness was nurtured by an economic state of things to which we long since have bid goodbye. He comes as the rapt student of an economic philewllhl! which todays fierce struggle has rent and tossed arlde. Ha comes as the leader of a. oausc for which the bells have tolled. He comes as the vrill-if-tlua-wlsp who quite unwit- tingly will lure you on and on into the morass which waits for those who have eye! and sec not."

Dimculties and dangers had in- creased and intensified throughout the world. Mr. Bennett continued. and while thc means of ending them had not been revealed, the means to safeguard Canada from them were at hand and - the people would bc asked to pass upon them. The Prime Minister referred brief- ly to his illness of last spring inso- far as it "was the cause of delay and confusion in the development of the government's reform pro- mm...

"Meanwhile? Ml‘. Bennett said. "I would like to tell you 01109 m0"? how profoundly grateful I rm for the kindness and friendship which were shown me during my illness- By people’ in a.ll walks of life, in all sections of the country, polit- ical mend und political foe alike.

Mr. King's Kindcas

"And I wish especially to ack- nowledge, in this way and at this time, the kindness and considera- tion of the leader of the Opposit- ion, Mr. Mackenzie King. In my frank and full examination of our national situation, of my proposals and of Mr. King's proposals, to bet- tcr that situation, I shall have i0 Say many things whichare critical

I‘ shall not forget his kindllness, and I shall not cease to bc grateful for 1t. ‘

‘ "In ‘thcae days of dreadful an- xiety and of national danger, we must remember that political part- isanship, the presentation of com- peting economic vicwa. the violent. if you like, differences of opinion u to what should be done, are no bcrricrs to the more permanent forms of association. and never can create a harmful division am- ong Canadians.

dies. There was uniformity among them only in the realisation by governments uu _ ut thc world that the depression would ncvct cure itself and. that salvation re- quired government intervention.

“So governments have intervened. And I believe that i! governments had stood uldo, the depression would have grown into an uncon- trollable fury which mllhf. well have brought to ftc knee; our very civilisation.

"And no fair-minded person will say that governments have not done much, simply because much that governments have done has been ill-considered and ineffective. There never yet was action which was faultless. There never yet was conflict without casualties. Those who in the last five years have not been called won to bear tbeheat and burden of the day would do well to moderate their censure and abridge their indictments. and in the time thus saved to give some little thought to what they might have donc had they themselves been in the firing line," said the Prime Minister.

A HARD FOUGHT BATTLE

"For, in the last flvs years, this has been a battle, believe me, bo- tvvcen the depression and the gov- ernments of ovary self-respecting and courageous country in the world. Fair play to those govern- merits, fair play to your own gov- ernment, my friends. We do not ask sympathy or thanks. We claim no right to either; just fair play. And to be fair. Canadians first of all must reach an understandingof what has happened throughout the world in the last five years."

If his government had not rc- turned Canada to prosperity it had saved the Dominion from “the icr- riblc adversity which threatened" and carried it through the first stages of a permanent reform pro- cram. Mr. Bennett continued. No government in the world had done more than that. I-Ie then turned to the political picture.

"Mi! 9191158. 1n these hazardous days, it is the duty of those charged with the conduct of gov- ernment to allay alarm, to com- pose disturbance, to do everything possible to maintain the spirit of equanimity and tolerance as thc best assurance against strife. Yet, we are conscious 0f a. dangerous in- ternational situation.

"Now. in world politics, Canada should be secure. 1'00:- she has no ambitions which peace cannot gru- tify. If trouble comes it will be somcllody else! fault. not ours. And I conceive it to be the solemn duty of government, by all just and honorable means. to sec that Can- ada. is kept out of trouble. We have bought and paid for security and for peace, and we mean to have them.

"Mr. King has told you that. should the question of Canada‘s participation in a European war arise, that question would bc de- termlned only by Parliament.

"But, as Mr. King must know, under the law that question can only be determined by Parliament. Sc that his statement adds nothing new to the discussion.

ty stands for Canadian rights. and stands against the economic ag- gression of any foreign country. So also in war. We will not be em- broiled ln any foreign quarrel where the ‘rights of Canadians are not involved."

Where Docs King Stand?

"Now that the issue has been raised and the Conservative party has declared its stand upon it, you have again the right. to demand that Mr. King and the Liberal par- ty say where they stand upon that issue. The country awaits that statement."

Improvement in world conditions would mean more satisfactory con- ditions at home. Mr. Bennett went} on, speaking of the state of agri- culture and industry. But if world conditions did not improve it re- mained for Canadians to improve their own state if possible. That was a practical question to which those who would rule should seek the answer rathe than spending time debating ma tcrs unrelated to the immediate problems.

ESSENTIAL MEASURES

“let us now examine the ways in which we can safeguard our high stands-rd of living and give it uni. versal application. ‘These are pep- hapl the most important of them:

(l) By returning agriculture and industry to prosperity. -

(2) By decreasing our burden o debt. '

. (ii) By restoring the labor man- iret to a sound condition.

(4) By removing unnatural and unjust inequalities.

(5) By better utilization of our natural resources.

_(6) By better distribution of tho products of agriculture and of in- dually. .

(7) By strengthening the Con- Rdellllflll. and so increasing our power to work together to achieve these purposes. .

Agriculture and Industry

"I will first begin with the ques- tion of how we can return agricul- ture and industry to prosperity.

"That can be done by protecting the hOm: market against unfair competition; which means, essent- ially. by protecting the standard of living of the workman against at- tack by countries where wages are infinitely below ours and where currencies are operating on a. lower level than ours. I give you the case of Japan. It is a practical illus- tration, and a. present one.

"Japan Amposed a prohibitive and discriminating supertax against our exports because, forsooth, this gov- ernment had taken action to cn- sure that the standard of living of our people should not be assailed or destroyed by any country with wages so low and with currency so depreciated that Canada could not fairly compete with its products in an unprotected market.

Protection Against Japan

“The supertax imposed by Japan was solely to force the removal of these oorcective measures whlchthe government of Canada was. by the national interest, compelled, to take. Japan, in other words, com- bats the efforts of this government to protect the standard of living of our people. Therefore, on that point. this government joins issue with the government of Japan. And to maintain the principle for which we rightfully contend, this government after patiently at- tempting to persuade Japan by other means, has now notified that country that unless the unwar- rantable and prohibitive duties against Canadian imports is re- moved. the government of Canada will serve notice to terminate the treaty of commerce and navigation. and will take such other steps as may be deemed necessary to pro- tect thc national interest. This is u rrinclple, a great and just prin- ciple. for which we Canadians fight. We will not surrender in this fight.
