Senator Arthur Meighan. sounding the keynote of the Conservative convention to choose Mr R. B. Bennett’s successor as leader, attacked the Government’s defence policy as unfair towards the Empire. “If we call ourselves Empire partners,' let us behave in the way partners do,” he said. “Canadian policy towards the Mother Country is naked negativeness.” He reiterated Mr Bennett’s allegation that the Government had refused to permit London to establish aviation camps in Canada. There were six leadership contestants with the choice, it is believed, between Meighan and Dr Manion, a former member of the Bennett Cabinet.
