Whatever political viewpoint one
may ,told the fact remains that poli-
tical
olltical history was made in Canada
within less than. two months,
Onui - 28th It
J ythe Conservative
party was returned to power. On Au-
gust 7th Mr, Bennett took office us
Prince Minister and by September 22
Parliament had been convened and
prorogued after putting through the
most radical tariff revision since Sir
John A. Macdouatd brought down his
"Natianal Policy" 51 years ,ago,
Not only were upwards of 130 items
affecting Canadian key industries
dealt with; the whtla basis
of valua-
tion for customs rpurposes was revised
along lines which, if deemed exped-
ient, permit the Government to con-
trol imports to en unprecedented de-
gree.
The other business of the session
was the voting 'of $20,000,000 to be
used for public works and other pure
poses to provide immediate and emer-
gent relief for unemployment thru-
out Canada,
ss*
Under ordinary circumstances the
tariff .tegislation put through would
have kept Parliament in session sev-
eral months. In view, however, of
the character of the session and of
Premier Bennett's determination not
to leave far the economic and consti-
tutional conferences of the Empire in
London until Parliament was pro-
rogued the opposition accepted Mr.
Ben•nett's promise that adequate op-
portunity would be given. next session
for discussion of the individu•c: items.
Hence less than five days of debate
sufficed to get the measure through. -
Such -revisions as were made effec-
tive are expected' to provide innned-
ia'e employment 'in Canada -for be-
tween 30.01» and 50,000 petple and
the latter figure is held 16 be mode -
vete by Conservative. Ministers. Mr,
Bennett told the House that he pro-
poses at •the next session to bring
down a complete revision of the tariff,
a .task which will- be almost- ten times
as targe as that which he presented
this year.
eec
In the revision whist -trent through,
practically every • change was
up-
wards. That trend n.np

Mr. Bennett's most important an-
nouncement to Parliament was the
pledge of industries affected that the
consumer would not be aken advan-
tage of by higher duties.. re. fact
many manufacturers premise that in-
creased production w,sn!d ntea•i not
only more work, hut would reduce
the•over-head on. goods and permit of
reduced selling prices. To this an-
nauncement lir. Bennett added his
promises that any • attempted exploit-
ation of the consumer would be stet
by removal of the concessions now
extended.
In the meantime interest has shift-
ed to London and to the Economic
conference, Until there is definite
knowied e of the Macdonald g Gov-
ernment's plans to promote inter -
Empire trade, everything is etirtnise.
Insofar as Canada is concerned the
absolute necessity is some basis of
Marketing favor for. Canadian Wheat
and other agricultural -products Upon
that Mr. Bennett is likely to -suspend
preferential treatment for British
manufactures in Canada. •
While the British Government of
the day (las ventured no concessions
to food taxes sr preference: there is a
steadily .growing feeling that--eunless
