MR. BENNETT TAKES FIRM STAND AGAINST COMMUNISM POLICE CHARGE CROWD
— By Telegraph — Copyright).
Rec. August 3, 5.5 p.m. OTTAWA, Tuesday. The ccnference delegates were surrounded by a crowd of over 1000 g'iving cheers for the Soviet and singing the Internationale. Suddenly the police arfived on all points, and promptly charged. One of the arrested women was a memher of the ' deputation which had previously met Mr. R. B. Bennett. She was engaged in a struggle with a policeman, but was finally overpowered. Motor cars took the rioters to the police stat'ion. Mr. Bennett told the delegates in the evening that he emphatically declined to give them permission to address the Imperial Economic Conference, saying that the law would be rigidly enforced against Communism. He refused to lift the Russian embargo and told the deputation' that bitterness would not be allowed. Canada was a British community and would not have Communism forced upon it, or take orders from Moscow.
