CANADA’S TREATY
OPPOSED BY CONSERVATIVES. ■ /■ (United Prase Association—By Electric J ■ . Telegraph—Copyright). ■ (Received this day at 9. a.m.) ( ; VANCOUVER, Aug; 1. Speeches by R. B. Bennett (Tory Leader) on. the Australian Treaty are arousing so much opposition as to amount to a complete cleavage between Federal and Provincial Conservatives. For years Bennett has protested against the Treaty, and is now renewing opposition at various parts in British "Columbia.' There has been no attack so far on the coast, where'great paper and salmon industries benefit enormously from Australian markets.
The Provincial Government has openly desired the extension of the Treaty to cover lumber, and would bitterly oppose the effort to reduce the present advantages of the agreement. Bennett’s journalistic friends on the coast also support the Treaty. The “Vancouver Province” a Conservative organ, has yarned the Tory Party not to meddle with the Pact.
