"There is this difference be- tween my Liberal friends and ourselves," said ~Ir. Bennett, in answer to a question about New Zealand bu t ter. "They favor sending money out of the coun- try for products like New Zea- land butter. SVe favor producing these things in Canada and keep- ing the goods and the money in Canada." ~Ir. Bennett then analyzed the different lines of imports into Canada. SVhen he came to the immense quantities of steel and iron imported daily into Canada. he said: "ln the United States there was a time when the steel rails for the Erie Railway were bought in Germany. The same with the Union Pacific and other United States railways. But the shrewd leaders of that country put a tariff so high against steel from Germany and Belgium that there was developed a great steel iirdustry in the United States which was able to supply all their needs. "I am proud to say today that I have seen 80 and 100-pound steel rails for both the Canadian Pacific and Canadian National Pwilways carrying the name of the Algoma Steel Company or some other steel company in Canada upon them. And why? Because there is some protection for the Canadian steel industry in Canada--a protection which should be extended to every line of manufacture which can be carried on in this Dominion for the benefit of Canadians." "I have seen twenty-one steam shovels employed in Quebec dig- ging out asbestos," said the speaker. "That asbestos was sold as low as $60 and $70 a ton and $20 a ton for asbestos dust. "In the United States 250,000 persons enjoy a livelihood from the asbestos industry, where Canadian raw asbestos is used. They get the benefit of the labor en this product. They pay us these low prices for the raw mat- erials--and ship'back the manu- factured product at $900 a ton." Referring to large imports of wool materials into Canada, )Ir. Bennett said that there were no more sheep in the country today than there were in 1871. Neglect of Canadians to pro- tect their industries had resulted in driving 100,000 young men and women to the United States each year. He estimated th t the population of the Dominion today, 10,000,000, would have been 17,000,000 if natural in- crease and immigration had been retained within Canadian boun- daries. He proceeded to point with alarm to the unfavorable trade balance against Canada, stating that during the past five months it had amounted to $75,000,000. "The Conservative party," said i~Ir. Bennett. "is not a high tariff party. But we believe in such protection for Canadian industry as will adequately safeguard the prosperity of the country." EVe do not care if the United States should become provoked at any trade barriers we might erect, because they have already raised or are contemplating rais- ing every possible tariff against our products which they can. IVe do not blame them for their action, but we do blame Canadi- ans for sitting down and not fol- lowing their lead. HOLLYBURN THEATRE CRON'DED YO HEAR HON. R. B. BENNETT AND GEN. 51cRAE Batson: "I understand some of your hens have stopped laying." Belfry: "TN'o of them have, anyway." "What's the cause?" "A motor car." Hollyburn Theatre was crowd- ed on Tuesday evening with an enthusiastic audience, who had come to hear Hon. R. B. Bennett and Gen. A. D. ~IcRae, M.P., speak on federal policies in Can- ada. The platform and the thea- tre generally had been beautiful- ly decorated with flowers for the occasion. ~Ir. Bennett and Gen. A. D. ~WIcRae were each given a rousing reception when they ent- ered the theatre. In addition to tne two principal speakers there were on the platform Gen. J. A. Clark, ~I.P., Leon Ladner, M.P., Jack Loutet and H. Botham. Dr. F. E. Dorchester, president of the 4Vest Vancouver Conser- vative Association, acted as chairman, and in his introduct- ory speech made a strong plea to the younger generation to take an interest in Canadian affairs by joining either the Conserva- tive Association or some other political association in the dis- trict. General J. A. Clark made a short speech, saying how pleased he was to be back again in his old constituency, and paying an enthusiastic tribute to the good work which had been done by General McRae in Ottawa. General McRae was greeted with rounds of applause when he rose to speak. "AVhat can happen to a coun- try which protects every other nation but itself?" he asked, in denouncing the Liberal fiscal policy. "I am not swamped, sunken or smothered in concern for other nations. That nation which is true to itself can not be false to others." General 5IcRae aroused laugh- ter when he referred to his work as organizer for the Conserva- tive party in Canada. "I am a glorified drummer," he said. "I don't ride freight trains, but I get bumped at every town I stop at." In pleading for better organ- ization among the Conservatives, he said: "Look at the Liberals. They may fight a great deal among themselves, but once they get be- hind a candidate, good or bad. they give him united support. It's a bit difficult for us with our high ideals," he added seri- oiisly, "but we must do it." (laughter) . Dealing with his political ex- periences up to the present, Gen- eral 5IcRae said: "Before I went into politics I «as a dictator. I believe in arbi- trary measures at times. I wanted to do things on my own. When I went overseas in 1914 I got rid of a lot of those ideas. EVhen I came back I went into politics. I started and ran my party. It didn't get very far. How much money it cost me, I would not care to tell you. After all my experience, I am now sure tnat the safe way of government is the two party system. "Canada is the greatest coun- try the sun ever got up on," he continued. "Our party is seeking to make it a great country for Canadians. In our organization work we must realize that it is not the man, but the principles for which the Conservative party stands." A very warm welcome was ac- corded Hon. R. B. Bennett as he came forward to make his ad- dress. Using a $20 bill as an example he proceeded to give his ideas on the tariff question. He stat- ed that when a Canadian bought $20 worth of groceries, he got the goods and the grocer got the money, which in the various ramificatioris of trade gave em- ployment to a large number of Canadians, such as the whole- saler, the farmer, the railway man, etc. Canadians got both the Phone IVest 28 Grocery -...are.ware T&e Independent Grocery since 1900.
