BENNETTS
BLUNDERS
Wenner
Gren
liy
1950
with
two
strikes
on
him
as
an
cmpirc
buililcr
Premier
Bennett
looked
more
like
an
incompetent
and
a
buffoon
than
a
statesman
He
badly
needed
a
big
new
gimmick
At
a
meeting
with
the
Swedish
financier
Axel
Wenner
Grcn
in
the
summer
of
1930
he
got
one
Wenner
Grcn
master
of
a
dozen
international
cartels
including
the
Swedish
armament
trust
war
lime
collaborator
with
the
Nazis
and
salesman
of
weapons
to
Hitler
said
he
would
finance
a
vast
resources
empite
in
and
around
the
Rocky
Moun
Mountain
�
tain
Trench
In
return
Dennett
never
fussy
about
whom
he
did
businoss
with
gave
him
the
right
to
survey
and
the
option
to
develop
40000
square
miles
of
territory
in
BC
Wenner
Grcn
was
an
old
hand
at
offering
to
build
empires
for
naive
but
hungry
politicians
for
a
price
he
would
disclose
after
he
had
them
well
committed
Dy
the
time
his
scout
Gundcrson
came
along
with
Bennett
in
tow
he
had
discarded
several
recent
schemes
that
didnt
work
out
including
A
100
million
industrial
program
in
Mexico
a
resources
empire
in
Southern
Rhodesia
an
inter
international
�
national
rail
and
road
network
from
Alaska
to
Panama
a
revolutionary
transit
system
in
New
York
The
Swedish
wizard
also
had
several
empire
building
deals
cooking
in
South
America
Bennett
took
his
bait
hook
line
and
sinker
and
soon
had
the
rafters
ringing
all
over
the
province
with
loud
claims
about
the
wonders
he
and
Wenner
Grcn
would
work
in
BC
As
usual
with
Bennett
the
big
notion
became
the
reality
Huge
power
plants
metallurgical
electro
chemical
uranium
aluminum
works
were
already
thrusting
their
way
through
the
lop
soil
and
would
spring
up
like
mushrooms
Wenner
Grcn
would
fill
the
Trench
witli
Swedish
workmen
It
would
be
a
fairyland
of
neon
lights
hurdy
gurdies
and
happy
or
perhaps
slap
happy
citizens
The
Vancouver
newspapers
their
critical
faculties
fast
asleep
beat
the
drum
with
big
headlines
Bennett
to
build
billion
dollar
empire
The
toothpaste
smile
gleamed
from
thousands
of
telephone
poles
The
air
waves
crackled
with
big
boom
talk
No
bucket
shop
salesman
of
worth
worthless
�
less
stock
ever
put
on
a
bigger
show
than
Bennett
Like
a
strip
tease
artist
Wenner
Grcn
continued
to
reveal
his
charms
bit
by
bit
He
would
set
up
a
sort
of
charity
trust
ana
plough
back
all
the
profits
in
BC
He
would
build
a
monorail
He
unveiled
the
model
in
Stockholm
himself

the

that

They
said
there
is
no

to
the

which
docs
not
pass
through
private
property
There
is
one
public
crossing
of
the

tracks
but
the

road
also
crosses
a
private
bridge
They
said
it
is
impossible
to
get
insurance
on

while
they
arc
on

They
also
commented
on
the
