...Liberals in this election are the Ontario Conservatives. These are led by stolidly handsome and inarticulate The Honorable William Earl Rowe, M. P., chosen disciple of the nearest approach to Herbert Hoover ever produced in Canada, namely pompous Richard Bedford Bennett who as Prime Minister disastrously lost the last Dominion election (TIME, Oct. 21, 1935). Mr. Bennett, having picked Mr. Rowe to achieve high office, had King George V make him a Privy Councilor and groomed him carefully, but quite failed to develop a popular Conservative leader in Ontario...
...against C. I. O.-such as total exclusion from Canada - which "Mitch" wants to take and talks as if he had taken. In fact Premier Hepburn is not standing and cannot "stand right on top" of C. I.

...Chicago Board of Trade, registered a net gain of 10? for the week. Even more important than war talk was the disastrous failure of the wheat crop in Canada, where drought & rust in the past few weeks have cut 150,000,000 bu. off early estimates of the Dominion's harvest...
