Hands
Off
The
Australian
Treaty
Harry
Stevens
Is
now
trying
to
sidestep
on
the
abrogation
of
the
Australian
Treaty.
He
says
that
Mr.
Bennett
only
said
he
would
abrogate
those
treaties
which
were
harmful
to
the
Canadian
farmer.
Now
let
us
listen
to
Mr.
Stevens
as
quoted
In
Hansard.
March
25,
1930.
"We
have
expressed
our
crlUcisms
of
this

Australian)
"on
the
basis
that
under
it
the
Canadian
farmer
had
not
rcceivtd
"a

Now
will
he
tell
us
again
that
they
are
not
'going
to
abrogate
the
Australian
Treaty
If
they
attain
power?
