VANCOUVER, Ist August
The speeches by Mr R. B. Dennett, Conservative Party Leader, oil the Australian Treaty are arousing so much oppopition as to amount to a. complete cleavage between federal and provincial Conservatives. For years Mr Bennett lias protested against -the Treaty and is now renewing his opposition in various parts of British Columbia. There has been no attack so far on the coast, where the great paper and salmon industries benefit enormously from Australian markets.
The Provincial Government has openly desired the extension of the Trea|ty to cover lumber, and would bitterly oppose any effort to reduce the present advantages of the agreement. Mr Bennett’s journalistic friends on the coast alio support the Treaty. The Vancouver “Province,” a Conservative organ, lias warned the Tory Party hoi to meddle with the Pact.
