the georgetown herald seventysecond year of publication wednesday evening october 19th 1938 150 per annum in advance 200 to usa preparing loyal welcome lor king and queen next year gty of ottawa plunningcivic improvement for occasion mr dunning minister of finance recovering wheat guarantee may be burden on taxpayer a m by spectator the visit of the king ana queen ottawa oct 18th canada till make full preparations to give an im persslve as well as warm and jmal welcome to their majesties when hey arrive here next summer the warmth and loyalty will be a natural expres slon of fe of the people but there is also plenty of work to be done by government officials in arranging details of the visit this will be he first time that a reigning monarch has set foot in any of his dominions and credit must be given to the oo ernor general lord tweedsmuir and prime minister mackenzie king for the hapoy opportunity to be given canadans of greeting their sovereigns on canadian soli coining as it dries at the close of the period of extreme world disquiet there is something pe culiarly appropriate in the visit to the senior dominion of the monarch of the great democratic union of states wbjch is the most poteatfoxce for peace in the world it is being suggested that the king may prorogue parliament at the end of next session of course while the kl gen eral will have no official position he is the king s representative but it is unlikely parliament will be pro rogued by the king unless the end of the session can be made to coincide exactly with their majesties arrival the session will probably be oier be fore the king arrives still it 14 tell that there maj be other msits a tery happy precedent has been created and it is possible according to some that their majesties might be induced to faor canada with a visit every five years it has to be borne in mind hoaever that there are the other great dominions and india and hat their majesties live a busy and anxl ous life in these days of vijilance nd trial in earope the city of ottawa will make a great effort to get its plans for ivic improvement in an advanced a stage as possible for the arrival of their majesties in the capital just now confederation square dose to parlla ment hill is a hive of industry ctr cular roadways and boulevards are in progress of construction in the cen tre of the circular roadway stands the war memorial crowned by two brinze figures peace and freedom while midway down the pylon are figure- of soldiers now being put in place mr king the prime minister said very likely king george would formally un veil the memorial when he came to ottawa of course the full plans for the improvement of ottawa s appir ance cannot be completed before next summer the programme will cover aome years but the approaches to parliament hill in any event will be neat and blooming next june the prime mr king and or skelton undersecretary stats for external affairs are taking a vacation to the south they have gone to bermuda and while as mr king ald to pressmen before leaving their exact itinerary was not settled they might go to jamaica or florida they have both had an extremely trying sum mer and are in need of rest dr skelton is the official who has been receiving the constant flood of infor mation from london on the crisis in europe the strain on him has been very heavy and mr king just prior to departure gave a very sincere eulogy on dr skelton s unstinted and seusacrinclng adherence to duty the very welcome news has been reaching the capital that mr dunn ing the minister of finance who sot fered from a heart attack towards the dose of the last session has made a good recovery and that he will soon be back at his desk he spent a large part of the summer in the maritimes principally in prince edward island and for the past few weeks has been in watering places in the eastern states irrespective of political lean ings everyone in ottawa will be gin uinely pleased to see mr dunning on the job again prep ed international agricaltaial conference the suggestion of mr bracken pre- mler manitoba that an inte-na- tkmal conference an agricultural pro ducts marketing problems should be held in winnipeg next december throws further light on the unfortjn ate condition of markets for wht and other agricultural prodj ts whether as suggested by some the duty of calling the conference sng gested by mr brackens foresight should be laid on the shonmera or federal rather than provincial auth orittes la not the most important point the wheat advisory commit tee in london aome months ago is sued a report which warned of im pending huge surpluses of wheat and suggested some concerted intemauon ml effort should be made to deal with the surplus problem canada s what export surplus after provision made for domestic consumption and future seeding requirements win be about 390 or mo mutton bushels canada lias guaranteed the wheat producer 80 cents a bushel on the basis of number one northern wheat delivered at the head of the oreat lakes this is much highr than the price on world markets the governments action may in perfect fairness lie said to bare wo aspects on th one hand it saved the west from the effects of demoralised markets and on the other hand has put a pretty heavy burden on the taxpayer the bren gun probe the royal commission investigation of the bren light machine gun co tract made by the department of na tlonal defence with a firm in toronto is still proceeding and will likely not be finished for some days the com paint has been made at the lnvestlga uon that the case is being tried b the newspapers and the public it has been suggested that all should keep an open mind until all the evidence is given and until the

some heftj plunging and then kick cd to milton s goal line the blue ind white fumbled the kick and were lucky to escape with only a safety touch against them weight and age began to tell in the last
