CONSERVATIVE PARTY
CANADIAN LEADERSHIP SIX CANDIDATES OFFER EMPIRE DEFENCE POLICY OTTAWA, July 5 Mr.' Arthur Meigheri, sounding the keynote at the Conservative convention held to choose Mr. R. B. Bennett's successor as Leader of the Opposition, attacked the Government's defence policy as unfair to the Empire. "If we call ourselves Empire partners, let us behave in the way partners do. The Canadian policy toward the Mother Country is naked negativeness," he said.' Mr. Meighen reiterated Mr. Bennett s charge that the Government had refused to permit Britain to establish aviation camps in Canada. There are six contestants for the leadership of the party and the choice 19 believed to lie between Mr. Meighen and Dr. Manion, a former member of Mr. Bennett's Cabinet.
