CON

Richard Bedford Bennett (Prime Minister; Minister of Finance and Receiver General; President of the Privy Council; Secretary of State for External Affairs)

Conservative (1867-1942)

Mr. BENNETT:

This question has been standing for some time and I think it will have to be answered verbally. To the first part of the question the answer is, yes. To the second part it is very difficult to make answer other than that at the proper time the house will be fully advised; because the progress which a government may make in reference to a matter of this kind is something with respect to which it cannot give an answer until the question is in some more concrete form than mere discussion.
