CANADA AND AUSTRALIA.
OTTAWA, December 5
A message from Victoria states that speaking in support of the candidature of Mr D. P. Plunkett, yesterday, Mr R. B. Bennett, Conservative leader, made his first direct attack on the Australian Treaty. He claimed that under the treaty, because of the dumping clause, no butter was admitted to Canada, yet the Pact extended to New Zealand, from winch country there were on order to-day 250,000 cases. Referring to lumber export, he said that Australia bought 350 million feet yearly, but only fifty million from Canada. Lumber was not in treaty, so Canada got no preference- He appealed for the economic independence of Canada- He admitted prosperity, but claimed that the conditions were unhealthy.
