TORONTO, June 18—(Tu.~.sday)- ,

At one of the largest conventions ever held in the constituency, Hon. H. D. MscLean and Mr. Arthur l". McQuaid, K. C., were nominated unanimously last evening as Con- servative candidates for the First District oi King's County in the coming general provincial elec- tions.

The convention was held in the Court House, Souris, and was fully representative of all the polling divisions. The nominations in bcth eases were unanimous. and were

the past 10 days, the Mail and Em- pire. says today.

The newspaper. saying it “learn- ed authoritatively at Queens Park" threats had been made. continued:

"So seriously are these threats regarded that provincial police are reported to be keeping a. careful inconspicuous watch over the Pro‘- mler's movements at the parliament buildings. "

"A personal aide and bodyguard keeps him company constantly and his car, in its daily travels, is said to be armed. under police author- ity. to meet any emergency that might arise.

"A notification which was served on him one night a week ago was viewed by his frienik, if not by him- self. as differing entincly from the usual run of threats, and conso- quently stringent precautions have since been taken.

' “It is learned. furthermore, that the ‘threat is directed against the Premier and docs not concern any members of his family.

‘Mr. Hepburn refused absolutely to discuss the situation."

For this reason, it is assumed Bri- tain must have assured Germany during the current naval conversa- tions that if France embarks upon naval expansion there will be also an increase iri the British fleet, which would thus allow Germany to build up likewise.

Such an assurance presumably would not be upsetnby the French, seeing that owing to the traditional Anglo-French naval amity, France would have no reason to fear the size of the British fleet. On the contrary, it is believed a. strong Bri- tish navy would be most pleasing to ‘France.

Britain today informed the visit- ing delegation that she intends to build 12 capital ships between 1937 and 1942. She plans to build two ships in 1937, replacing the Queen Elizabeth type battleships, which will be then over age.

Plan Closer Study

A reply was received at the For- eign Office from Italy to Britain's note requesting her views on the naval accord. Italy's reply said she considered Germany's naval rearm- ament as a subject for discussion at a. conference of signatories of the Washington naval treaty.

Sllimar notes were dispatched last week to the United States, Japan, and France. The U. S. and Japan were understood to have expressed approval of the accord. The “ranch reply said German naval rearma- ment should be considered along with her land rearmament.

Authoritative sources said Britain was still standing by the United States on general naval limitation, taking the view that ratios are a "necessary evil" but preferring that stress be laid upon building pro- grams.

PARIS. June 17—F‘rance has in- fonned Great Britain she cannot agree to the proposed German naval rearmament program, it was learned from an authoritative source here.

many unofficial observers: namely, what would happen if some power, France for instance, decided drastically to increase her fleet. Under these circumstances, Germany, being pledged to a fixed ratio with Britain, could only build further if Britain did also.’
