AUSTRALIAN TREATY
CONSERVATIVE OPINION IN CANADA DIVIDED CLEAVAGE CAUSED BY LEADER’S SPEECHES Australian Press Association. Vancouver, August 1. The speeches of Mr. R. B. Bennett, the Tory Leader, on the Australian Treaty are arousing so much opposition as to amount to a complete cleavage between the Federal and Provincial Conservatives, For years Mr. Bennett has protested against the treaty, and he is now renewing his opposition in various parts of British Columbia. There has been no attack so far on the coast, where the great paper and salmon industries benefit enormously from Australian markets. The Provincial Government has openly desired an extension of the treaty to cover lumber and would bitterly oppose any effort to reduce the present advantages of the agreement. Mr. Bennett’s journalistic friends on the coast also support the treaty. The “Vancouver Province,” the Conservative organ, has warned the Tory Party not to meddle with the pact.
