The

For

There
were
many
other
things
of
which
they
dreamed
such
as
the
Peace

outlet
and
a

Colonel
McMordie
said
he
thought
the
citv
had
made
a
good
bargain
in
selling
out
and
he
also
thought
the
company
had
made
a
good
deal.
He
hoped
It
would
get
a
good

Premier

of

has
hit
back
at
Rt.
Hon.
J.
H.
Thomas,
Secretary
for
the
Dominions.
In
a
statement
issued
last
night,
Mr.
Bennett
replied
in
language
scarcely
less
vigorous
to
Mr.
Thomas
description
during
the
debate
in
the
House
of
Commons
last
Thursday
of
the
Canadian
proposals
at
the
Imperial
Conference
as
"humbug."
Mr.
Ben-w
nett
declared
that
the
language
of
Mr.
Thomas
was
deeply
resented
by
the
government
of
Canada
and
that
the
failure
of
the
government
of
the
United
Kingdom
to
denounce
It
must
be
construed
as
endorsatlon.
Premier
Bennett
declared
that
Mr.
Thomas'
statement
was
a
condemnation
In
terms
as
unusual
as
they
were
injurious
of
the
Canadian
proposal
which
was
offered
in
the
sincere
belief
that
it
contained
the
best
solution
of
the
urgent
problem
of
closer
Empire
economic
co-operation.
He
said
that.
If
Canada's
proposal
was
thus
contemptuously
rejected.
Canadians-
could
only
accept
it
and
act
on
the
rejection
by
endorsing
other
means
at
hand
of
further
strengthening
their
econ
omic
position.
