"J Cismpion, London manager of the Canadian Press) London, Ay T1--While the prob. ability of the appointment ol the Prince of Wales as regent is widely discussed in today's newspapers, the most to be said at the moment is that the government is undoubtedly Sonsidering the expediency of sub- mitting a regency bill before the dissolution of parliament, It is hardly likely the king him- self has been approached on the sub- ject to date for his majesty, since his removal to Bognor, has not yet received Premier Stanley Baldwin, But it may also be assumed with confidence that to the king as much as to his ministers the necessity of taking every safeguard for eventuali~ ties in regard to the constitutional position is apparent, A general elec tion might easily create a political situation in which the sovi reign would have to play an important personal part, Many Other Matters It is also obvious 'here are many other matters which might arise' and with which the present council of state could not act fully in His Majesty's place, Several weeks ago the king's doc- tors issued a statement emphasizing that His Majesty's recovery must be a matter of time, This pronounce- ment is- now looked upon as being in the nature of preparing public opinion for a possible change in the manner of fulfilling the highest office in the realm. Causes Discussion London, Mar, 11--The oauibility of the appointment of the Prince of Wales as regent to rule for his father during the remainder of King George's convalescence was discussed in London newspapers and parlia- mentary circles today, There were indications that the legal aspects of the matter were under consideration by the Attorney-general and the soli- citor-general, The Daily Mail said there was a possibility parliament would be ask- ed soon to replace the present coun- cil of state which has acted for the (Continued on Page 3) CONDITION OF FOCH LESS SATISFACTORY (Cable Service To The Times By Canadian Press) Paris, Mar. 11.--The condition of Marshal Foch today was de scribed as "less satisfactory" by his physicians, Drs, Degennes and Heitz-Boyer.

Involved BEFORE EXPERTS Hope is Expressed That the Plan Has Approval of President Hoover (Cable Service To The Times By Canadian Press) Paris, Mar, 11,--The idea of a giant international bank to handle the reparations payments has met with considerable favor in France in competent circles, An economic wri er in Excelsior 'even goes so far as to say that if, as seems likely, the American dele- gation to the committee of experts on reparations before embarking on the scheme on their initiative received the approval of President Hoover it was permissible then to consider the project as a promise of help in the settlement of all European debts, Perfecting of the bank scheme, which 'as yet is purely tentative, faced the experts at their mee.ing today, In this work must be taken into account the special economic and financial conditions of the various countries affected. In the formation of this bank nothing of their political ¥rdependence and national sovereignity must he in- fringed, These things involve a long anu close study of all the technical and legal aspects of the questions, but conceding that it is corsid- ered here that the new institution offers a real guarantee against risks of exchange crisis, and ap- preciable insurance against social troubles arising from instability of currencies, MANITOBA 10 BE GIVEN TOWNSITES Important Areas to Be Given, Up By Federal Authorities ---- Ottawa, Mar, 11,-The Province of Manitoba will be offered a number of town sites now held by tbe Dominion, Hon, Chass, Stew- art, Minister of Interior, stated to- day that be was writing the Proy- incial Government offering to hand over certain town sites, the more important being Flin Flon and the | one which will be located at the and Hon, C, A, Dunning, Minister of Railways, discussed the trans- fer of townsites with Hon.
