The immediate cause of the resignation was the cabinet's decision that legislation making effective the agreement of the Ottawa Imperial conference could not be delayed. The free traders claimed the Ottawa agreement represented adoption of permanent turf protection, which they opposed. Half a century of co-operation between the two Churches—as Churches to the exclocher, and Prime Minister McDonald ended with Snowden's resignation.

Snowden was said to have been uncompromising in his opposition to the Ottawa agreement. The Home-secretary was understood to have offered to remain in the cabine, if the legislation was postponed until after the world economic conference, scheduled to meet this fall or winter.
