add to cart   close window

The article presents information on various political developments related to Canada. Under the leadership of Richard B. Bennett, Premier of Canada since August 7, 1930, the dominion is giving the world a demonstration of economic nationalism in an acute form, and the results so far are such as to justify the worst fears of those who opposed the Bennett formula for prosperity in the 1930 elections. In pursuance of a policy described by the slogan "Canada First," the Bennett Ministry has raised the Canadian tariff, closed the door to immigrants, and barred Russian imports. The prize example of the Bennett Government's trade policy has been its stand-offish attitude toward commerce with Russia.
