This, His Worship said, he believed is the Premier's ultimate plan, and s such it will be worthy of the sup- port of all true Canadians. We have here in Canada the world s nickle supply, Mr. Hooken said. Without it the highest type of areadnonghts could not be built, But Canada docs not prohibit the export of nickel. If Germany possessell. the same I believe she would keep it for herself in order to build up the great nickle industry in the yworld.
