Mackenzie King Accused of Aiding Rockefeller Defeat Aspirations of His Workers.

AhoiNiSoir SoC'' Ouiy NCI J- Canadian conservatives are espous- ing high tariff designed to combat the Hawley-Sm rates in the United States as one Of the princi- pal weapons of their campaign to overthrow the present liberal gov ernment in the July 2S elections.
 Led by the Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett. the conservative party has taken ad- vantage of the present agitation against American tariff rates to bol- ster their arguments for election, but they also argued that high Canadian tariffs would aid industries in this country.
 The liberals, of which Mackenzie King, the present prime minister, is the leaded, are supporting the plan of countervailing tariff levies set up by the last session of parliament in reply to the conservative high tariff arguments.
 General opinion of neutral ob- servers is that the liberal govern ment is facing a severe test and that it may be in real danger of over throw. In the last house of com mons, the liberals had 119 votes; conservatives S9; united farmers of Alberta Il: progressives 12; liberal progressives 8; labor 3; indepen- dents 2.
 Conservatives have attacked the record of the Mackenzie King lib- eral government with regard to labor and have drawn the name of John D. Rockefeller into the campaign.
 Raps Labor Stand
 In a speech at Moncton. N. B., last week, Bennett read from re- ports of a commission discussing Mackenzie Kings services IS an ad- wiser in labor disputes to the Rocke- feller Foundation from 1914 to 1918. King was described as having viewed the labor problem ''as mere ly one of securing for workers a. decent degree of physical welfare and in no sense a problem of democratizing of industry and free ing of wage earners from arbitrary control.
 It was also charged that King "did not hesitate to advise Mir. Rockefeller how he might take ad- vantage of the war to defeat the as pirations of his workers.'
 Bennett, who is going through his first general election as leader of the conservative party, has campaigned from coast to coast promising imme- diate relief for unemployment through the tariff measures he pro poses to place in effect a conserva- tive government is returned. He maintains that the tariff policy of the liberal government was dictated by free trade sentiment in the west ern provinces and that it's result has been an increase in mployment, the emigration of 100000 Cana dians to the United States in the ap- proximately 10 years that the lib- erals have been in power, and an enormous increase in imports of manufactured goods from the Unit ed States.
 Tn each of the first four months of 1930." Bennett said in a speech in Quebec. 5000 Canadians have gone into the United States and only SIS have returned. They left Canada because they had no work and nothing to eat"
