Would Be Outrageous

LONDON, Sept. 2 -(CP)-“A Inndonerki Diary," gossip column‘: in Lord Beaverbrooks Evening Standard. commented today on re-I ports the Duke oi Windsor. but not tho Duchess, would be invited to Princess Elizabeth's wedding and said that "any such discrimination against the Duchess would be out- rageous." i

“What has the Duchess done that she should be held up to con-I tinuing ridicule in this way?" The columnist asked. "As the wife of the bride's wiclc. if for no other; reason, the Duchess should be ac- corded the dignity of an invitation to her nieces marriage."

The paper said the report that the Duchess would not be invited- came from the United States.

Since this factor is involved, com- plexity is added to the situation.

Should the former House of, Commons Sergeant-At-Arrns be in danger of defeat in the by-el-| action, it is regarded as quite possiblethat Prime Minister King would threaten New Brunswicki with the loss of cabinet represen- tation and the conferring of the Fisheries portfolio on Tom Reid, Libefsf member for New West-i minstcr and known expert on coastal fisheries.

Once the Ministry of Fisheries‘ is loet to the Msritimes and goes to British Columbia, members of both parties agree it would be | difficult to wrest. it back from the

west coast province. r

Liberals in this capital view ‘Brigadier Greggb appointment with mixed feelings. General im-i presslon is that it is a master- stroke of political manoeuvre and, an assurance that the hitherto‘ Conservative riding of York-Sun-l bury will be nailed in the Liberal column. There is also dissatisfac~ tion on the part of Liberal mem- bsrs of years’ standing in the‘ Commons over the choosing of an outsider in preference tb men who} have been loyal to party and‘ Prime Minister in repeated eloc-i tions. Should Mr. Bracken and his‘ advisershchoose to run a candl-l date against Brigadier Gregg, thel campaign, The Guardian is told, will be fast and furious with but.- tons off the foils. '

In the last analysis. it is un- derstood here that the Progres- sive Conservative decision on! York-Sunbury will rest on the word of Hon. R. B. Hanson. for-' mer Conservative House leader who retired undefeated in 1945 af- e ter serving that riding in the‘ c mmone from 192i to 1935. and| from i940 to I845. '

Mr. Hanson's Comment FREDERICTON. Sept. a —(CP) —Dr. Greggb acceptance of the summons to Ottawa brought from .H0n. RB. l-lansc-n. former Con- sorvative House leader in the Com- mons. the charge that II. Gregg was a "turncoat." Aeited to confirm a report that a he had labelled Dr. Gregg a turn- coat. Mr. 1-lsnson said: ' "This men was a Conservative and we appointed him to office as ISergeont-at-Arms under the Ben- ‘nett Government in 1933 or i984. He was always a Conservative and the family was Conservative. You can say I said so and that my authority is Senator George B. Jonas, who has known the family all his life." Mr. Hanson said he could still hardly believe the news of the ap- pointment and added he felt ft was a typical King manoeuvre. ‘

,Opposed To ,Britain Having Olympic Games

LONDON, Sept. l -(AP)—Lo1-d Beoverbrookb Evening Standard. which has been waging a fight against Britain playing host to the 1948 Olympic Games. took an- ,other swing at the projecttoday. l In on editorial headed "It is still not too late-call off the games". the Standard attacked the large-scale construction work be- ing done on Wembley Stadium lwhere most of the Olympic pro- tgram will be run off. -

"Sane opinion will marvel only at the colossal thickness of hide which permits its owners, at this ‘time of crisis in the nation's ser- ious affairs. to indulge in grand- ioee and luxurious schemes for an Writer-notional weight-lifting and basketball Jamboree.

"Even in normal times the average British enthusiasm for the games stretched from the luke- warm in the loathing.

"We do not regard sport as prim- _arily an occasion for nationalistic self-assertion."

Britain's organizing committee for the Olympics replied that its postbag shows that hundreds of thousands of Britons are looking forward to the games.

An official said that "no grand- iose and luxurious construction plane are contemplated-just the ""' ' nlr ‘ ry ,to ensure smooth running. Housing _sites have not.had to be built- aervice camps end former war in- fitaliatfons have been allocated fort

As Term Opens.

By this day week. when St. Dun- stan‘: Collage open; it; doors for its next academic Year. three thous- and students will have been enroll- ed in the schools and colleges the City.

Those will range from tiny tots, 595702 the inside of a school for 171911!“ time. to serious-minded students who haveibeen seasoned mt will in the art of prolonged and concentrated study but who have also had that seasoning sup- plemented by the grim experiences o! war. They are the young men, veterans of the last war. some of whom will be resuming their stud- ies at Prince ot Wales when it opens on Sept. 8 or at St. Dun- stan's Qn Sept, 11.

Enrollment in the City schools was completed yesterday with the following results: Prince Street. 550; West Kent, 527; Queen Square, 629; and Rochfoird Square. 485. Those figures are approximately the some as for last year with the exception of those for Queen

‘Square which shows a considerable inor

ease.

Enrollment figures for Prince o1 Wales College are not expected to be quite so high as last year when 650 students registered. St. Dun- stan's College is locking farmyard to having a slight increase over

of.

Notwithstanding the hopes ex- pressed some weeks ago by officials of the Department of Education that the opening of the rural schools. practically synonomo-us with the opening of the third year no vacant

40 schools without teachers at the present time. Without the granting of some 30 permits-a number which the Department belidvesmay be increased within the ncxt fcw weeks. the number of vacant schools would have assumed a much more serious figure.

"The entire economic develop-

ment of Canada was based on hav- ing a surplus of exports to Europe, which Europe paid for in cash. and by which means Canada got enough foreign exchange to beablo to purchase the things it needed from the United States and other ‘countries.

"That has always been our situ- atlon in the past and that is what our situation will have to be once more in the future, unless we are to make radical and revolutionary changes in the entire economic structure of our country. . . .

" nltude Of Loon

"Our loan to the United Kingdom was exactly one-third of the size of the U.S. loan to Britain, and. as everyone knows, in proportion to the relative magnitudes of popu- latlon and national income that was several times as large as the U.S. loan. A loan of that magnitude was only feasible for Canada on the assumption that it would be used gradually.

"When it was negotiated. the understanding was that it was to help cover British requirements in Canada over a five-year period. al- though it was anticipated that the bulk of it would be used in the first. three years of that period.

“In actual fact it has been used far more rapidly tho/n was intend- ed. During the many months bo- tween the negotiation of the Amer- ican loan and the time when Con- gross finally ratified the loan, Can- ada ~made advances freely to the United Kingdom for the full amount of its requirements. By the enl! of 1946. advances mi the Canadian loan were $540.000.000 as compared with advances on the American loan of $600,000.00‘!-

"Eariy this year British require- ments increased and had Britain drawn fully on the Canadian loan for all her requirements the credit would have been fully exhnilstef by early this fall, contrary to the desires of both countries and the intentions of bofih governments at the time the loan was arranged for.
