PANAMA, Panmaa, Oct. 9—(AP) -The Nazi-minded President A1‘- nuifo Arias who ordered “no guns” on United States ships flying the flag of Panama was summarily ousted while in Cuban exi.e today and replwed by a government im- mediately pledged to "decided sup- port for democratic principles."

An urgent cabinet meeting was called for tomorrow with the "no- guns" order reported to be on its agenda for reconsideration.

Arias fled by plane to Colombia Tuesday, soon after the “no.guns" order of last Monday complicated the Neutrality Law repeal debate in Washington, and proceeded from there to Havana. where he was located today.

The second vice-president Panama, the first eligible success to Arias who could be reached im- niediately, was swom in as Pre- sident. For three hours he headed an interregnum government in probably the shortest term ever.

Then the cabinet he formed called in Ricardo Adolfo De La Guardia, Justice Minister and physician of pronounced pro- democratic leanings. and handed ‘nim the residency.

Officla y, the new government issued a manifesto p‘edging “de- cided support for democratic prin. ciples now menaced throughout the world and affecting in a very marked manner the Republic of Panama because she is situated at the epicentre of continental de-

Conservative House Leader And Party Return.

By Tom Falrley Canadian Pres Staff Writer

MONTREAL. Oct. 9-(CP) -The curiosity for facts that took Hon. R. B. Hanson and a party of his colleagues across the Atlantic has been well-rewarded and the results are "on their way to Parliament.”

That is the Conservative House Leader's own preliminary verdict on his month-long "fact-finding" tour of England-given to newsmen just before he backed his way neatly through the tfiny door of a giant Liberator bomber here and planted his feet on Canadian soil for the first time since Sept. l2.

"This has been a most wonder- derful and amazing trip," Mr. Han- son declared as he walked from the plane, loosening a blue aviation out- fit that bulged overa grey business

suit and putting p match to his proud, new London-made briar.

“Few men have ever seen so much in such a short time," he added. “And as for those facts-yes, they're on their way r0 Parliament. We just need s. couple of weeks to collate them and put them into shape."

Grouped around him stood his travelling companions, brimming with good spirits like himself. They were Hon. Grote Stirling (Con. Yale); LL-Col. A. C. Casselman
