Most Recent Speeches (Page 5 of 6574)
July 1, 1938
Mr. BENNETT:
I think there should be.
July 1, 1938
Mr. BENNETT:
No; I say Mr. Gordon tells me that it was limited entirely to the work that arose after the date of the return of the writs. Instructions were issued that such provision should be made with respect to all expenditures. In other words, if the government was defeated, the new incoming administration should not be bound to pay any commitments for expenditures after the date of the return of the writs.

Mr. BENNETT:
Well, he did not mean Mexico as far as I know. Now I will put one point and leave it at that. If it is essential that we should depend upon the British navy for our national life, is it inconsistent with our position of free association with the people who provide it that they should have an opportunity to establish a training school in Canada for those who will defend, not their country, but our common heritage with their navy upon which we depend, according to the minister himself? Everybody, I think, will agree with
that, and I believe that the great mass of public opinion in this country would support that view.

Mr. BENNETT:
What are their relative positions?
July 1, 1938
Mr. BENNETT:
Free association.
