"I have had the privilege oi knowing Mr Lea for many years and the warmth o1 his friendship and tile faithful manner in which he discharged the duties entrusted to llim wlil ever be a. cherished re- membrance and an inspiring ex- amtnle of loyalty and devotion to u

Honour to the members of the gov- ernment and to the citizens of Prince Edward Island the deep sympathy of my colleagues and myself in the loss which the Pro- vince oi Prlnce Edward Island has sustained in the death of its Pre- mier the late Mr. Walter M. Lea. As a cabinet minister loader of the the opposition and Premier oi the Province.

The exceptional ex- pression oi confidence given Mr. Lea by the people of Prince Ed- ward Island at the time of its lat.‘ general election was one of the many evidences of the high regard in which he was held by those whose interests he had so much at heart. He has left a name which will long be remembered and hon- oured in our Dominion." W. L. MACKENZIE KING Prime. Minister.

DR. W. J. P. MMMILLAN

"In the death of Hon. W. M. lea, Prime Minister of Prince Edward. Island, this province has lost an exceptionally brilliant and talented son and a splendid public spirited man. Men such as Hon. W. M. Lea are all too rare. His party will miss his able leadership. The Island Government suffers an irretriev- able loss. The Executive Council oi Prince Edward Island will no long- er have the benefit of his good 3 ‘ ‘ matured by years of ex- perience and public service.

"An outstanding member of a brilliant and talented family-a true son of the soil he loved so well for many years, he was a true pioneer in all developments of up- bo-date. Practical and successful agriculture. He practiced what he preached and was without doubt the leading oflicuiturllt of this Island Province. Gifted with an

reasoner, reader, an able counsellor, he gave the but years of his life to the interests of agriculture which he very properly decided was the most honorable of all professions. "He had a moat, comprehensive knowledge of trade conditions as affecting the products of the sol-m, and was at all times u very able exponent of coining and ‘mixed as absolute ‘essentials of awieultura. "I was never more proud of him

~ health did not seem excellent but

was his last public utterance- when he was making an eloquent plea lo the Federal Minister oi Finance, in the interests oi Prince Edward Island. Hon. Mr. Leo. and myself have had many political battles‘ but nothing ever said on the public platform or in the heat of political debate hcs.ever marred our friendship.

"To me there was no ablcr de- bater in this province. He was a foeman worthy oi your best steel, but I shall always best remelnber him as a worthy exemplar of that happy home life on the farm which should be the aim of the majority of our people. A great man has gone. We shall not soon look upon his equal again. This Dmvlnce. irrespective of creed or party, will ever revere the name oi W. M. Lea, Prince Edward island's leading sgricuiturlst. and twice its Premier."

An Ethiopian government com- munique announced troops under Dcdjazmatch Mered routed a strong Italian force at Kerelle on the southern front last week.

The Italian command in the north claimed two Italian columns had routed a big Ethiopian force, inflicting heavy losses, west of Mak- ale. Usually reliable sources in Cairo indicated the British Government was seeking a. closer military un-

“f detstandlng with Egypt, in view of

the tension between Italy and Great Britain and the concentration of Italian troops in Libya.

Stirred by reports of the bombing of two of its Red Crescent (Red Cross) units in Ethiopia. the Egyp- lian Government decided to dis- patch a formal note of protest to Italy. The Italian government de- nied the bombings.
