GFNERAL hlcRAE HEARD AT HOLLYBURV THEATRE A large crowd lBled HoByburn Theatre last Friday night to list- en to a speech by record from General A. D, hicRae, also to hear addresses from Premier S. F. Tolmie and General J. A. Clark. W. J. Dent acted as chair- man. General McRae speaking by record regretted his inability to be personally present to conduct his campaign. He had, however, as Conservatrve whrp, to stay m Ottawa and conduct the whole Conservative campaign in aB its details. He had as member for the North Shore done his best to serve his constituents and had fuliBled to the best of his ability, the promises he had made. He now stood on his record. Canada was facing an economic crisis, and on 28th July vrould decide her future for a number of years. Premier Tolmie proved that this province did make an appeal to Ottawa for assistance to cope with the unemployment problem, refuting the statement made rec- ntly by Priemier King in Van- uver. He quoted the wire which he vier I 0 .PremirW KtJrg nn +his bject. He aliio read the reply hrch Prenuer Kmg s secretary nt. 'The question will be con- 'dered," the telegram read. "He has been considering it er since," added Premier Tol- 'e. "When he comes to Van- ver and states that no appeal r assistance was made from is province, I sm afraid his emory is not functioning very elL" "Up to last Saturday night, ere were 7000 men employed the B. C. government on road ork in this province," said micr Tolmie, "this to relieve employment." "In 1922,'be stated "this ~inca received 8101965o in vernment grants and in 1929 ly 893,869 was received--al- ost a million dilFeren~nd t Premier King talks of his rierous treatment to the prov- ces. General J. A, Clark, in his ad- ss, referred to Premrer Kmg's mise in 1926 to provide a eace River outlet and his fai1 e to do so. He quoted comparative figures of imports and exports from the official records proving that our trade treaties had each one caused a loss of trade and result- ed in our very heavy and enorm- ous adverse trade balance.

Charles A. Dunning, min- ster of finance, on his iirst ap- earance on a public platform on he North Shore, Friday evening as accorded a rousing recep- ion. A packed audience greeted im in the K. P. hall at a meet- ng held in the interests of Mr. . E. Munn, Vancouver North iberal nominee. Mr. Dunning referred to Hon. R. B. Bennett's statement "that he would, if elected to power, call a special session of Parlia- ment to deal with unemployment and would pass an act to soNe the problem. "Mr. Bennett has not stated . what will be put in that act," said Mr. Dunning. "If it is as simple a matter as that, I as- sume that the government of --., Jtamsev hisgDonalrdh which is conceded to be the inost sympa- thetic toward the unemployed, would have long ago settled that problem in Great Britain by passing such an act." Instead of resorting to this procedure, Mr. Dunning stated that the British Government is looking forward to the forthcom- ing Imperial Conference in Lon- don to discuss the problem to find a solution. Commenting on the world eco- nomic crisis, Mr. Dunning said: "The world now and for the past year hss possessed a surplus of nearly aB commodities over and above what the world can im- mediately buy and consume." Surpluses of wheat, cotton, otfee, wool, copper, steel and ~ther commodities were cited. In the case of the latter, Mr. Dun- ning stated the world's largest steel mills are working at only 70 per cent. of capacity. He said he could go on down the complete list and contended this to be the fundamental factor underlying the unemployment problem. Referring to the budget, Mr. Dunning said: "Our opposition can not attack the main object and principal of what we are try- ing to do; they pick out a few items and ridicule them," and added: "If the budget is what the op- 6(kposition says it is, would Premi-~er MacDonald, Stanley Baldwin and Lloyd George have spoken of it as they did, or would the Brit- ish press have referred to the budget in such glowing terms?" he asked. "Our policy is this: We say to Great Britain, we are glad of your custom, we are sorry that you can not buy from us as much as you have in the past. We will, therefore, make it easier for you to buy from us."
