Mackenzie 'K'ing denounce the dic- tatorship w'Mnh had 'been. stablished in Canada. ' Mr. King spoke at length and, his every sentence was 'listened to with attention by the big audience. The meeting was hold in the interests of R. J.. Deachman, .Lilberal candidate in - the aiding of North Huron. The Natural Products. Marketing A'c't, ,Mr. King, staid,.. was one of a long series 'of steps by which Pre- mier R. B. Bennett had established a virtual dictatorship in Casada. Far- tines should leek upon it as a wolf in Sheep's clothing because it gave power to manufacturers to establish combines amd aronopol'ies and gave the government complete control of the external trade of the country. "I am in favor of , a marketing' act,' the Liberal cJh'iieftain declared. "I am in favor of comlpulls'ory regular Tion of marketing 'but i want the supremacy of 'parliament maintained and want the regulations to be ap- proved by parliament." Mr. King said in Great Britain all marketing regulations were approved) by parliament. The name could and should be done in Canada. It would g've protection to 'dllher classes than those interested in marketing schemes who might be affected by them. Sets Election Date Announcement of the ,date of the general election, October 14, came to Mr. King just at the end of his speech in whidh 'hie protested against its delay and held it up es one of many instances of Prernier (Bennett's"dictatorialpaIicies.". He declared election day would mean the end of autocracy iii 'Canada and would see the return o'f a Ltlberai and respons- ible government. Referring to Hon. H. H. Stevens and his Reconstruct/on Party, Mr. King said most of the evils revealed by the price spreads inquiry had grown up under the very nose of Mr. Stevens' own department of trade and comlmerce. Hon. James Maleolim, former Liberal inaster 'of trade and commerce, wg4n the 'pl'atform' and Mr. King remarked such evils as re- ve.aled by the enquiry did net exist under Mr. ,Meleolm. On the contrary trade continually extpanclezl; he said.
