MR WILLKIE’S SPEECH
Criticism By Lord Bennett
(Rec. 8.40 p.m.) TORONTO, October 31. The former Prime Minister, Viscount Bennett, in a speech said Canadians resent Mr Wendell Willkie’s recent speech in which “Mr Willkie proposes to sabotage the British Empire.” “Mr Willkie is not qualified to speak about the Indian Government,” he said. “India is the greatest tribute to British greatness. We are fighting in order to maintain the integrity of the Empire and are proud we are doing so.” After the speech Lord Bennett told the United Press interviewer that Mr Willkie was urging the United States to interfere with the domestic problems of the Empire, guided by hearsay evidence from people knowing nothing about the problem.
