MR BENNETT OPPOSES PROPOSED PACT
CANADA URGED TO MAINTAIN TRADE PRIVILEGE
CALGARY, August 10.
Economic suicide is threatening Canada under the proposed three-way United Kingdom, United States and Canada trade pact, Mr R. B. Bennett, former Leader of the Opposition, told a Conservative meeting.
“A system of family preference has been established among the British nations and now the United States wants to penetrate the United Kingdom markets and the Canadian Prime Minister is willing to give away a preference privilege for the chance to enter the United States market,” said Mr Bennett. “It will be a disaster if Canada thus sells out.”
