MR. WILLKIE'S SPEECH RESENTED
TORONTO, October 31
The former Prime Minister of Canada, Viscount Bennett, said in a speech that Canadians resented Mr. Wendell Willkie's recent speech in which Mr. Willkie had proposed to sabotage the British Empire.
He added: "Mr. Willkie is not qualified to speak about the government of India. India is the greatest tribute to British greatness. We are fighting in order to maintain the integrity of the Empire, and we are proud to be doing so."
After the speech, Viscount Bennett told the United Press that Mr. Willkie was urging the United States to interfere in the domestic problems of the Empire, and was guided by hearsay evidence from people who knew nothing about the problem.
