It is ex-I pected Rt. Hon. Arthur Meighen will be named to fill the Ontario vacancy caused by the death of Sir George Foster and that Mr. Meighen will be chosen leader of the government forces in the Sen- ate at the caucus of Conservative Senators on Thursday. The caucus will be held soon after the opening of Parliament. The present Con- servative leader, Senator W. B. Willoughby is retiring from the leadership on account of ill health.

Hon. E. N. Rhodes will likely be

sworn in this week as Minister of Finance relieving Premier R. B. Bennett of that portfolio. Mr. Rhodes will continue to hold 'the Fisheries portfolio for the present. With Mr. Rhodes scheduled to be- come Minister of Finance, the question arises of the appointment of a tariff board. It is understood that the government has been giv- ing serious consideration to the scl- ection of this board, but there has been no indication as to whether

Hon. George Black, Speaker of

the-House, has arrived in Ottawa,

but it is doubtful if the' Deputy Speaker, Armand Lavergne, will have recovered sufficiently from his recent illness to be present at the opening. It is hoped however he will be able to resume his duties later on.

Members and Senators are al-

ready arriving in Ottawa for the opening. Meanwhile the Cabinet held two meetings on Saturday and the treasury boprd is meeting al- most every day preparing the pro- gram of legislation to be submitted to the parliamentarians. Indications ,are that the estimates are well ad- ‘-vanced and will indicate in no un-, certain manner the policy of rc- trenchment in public expenditures. The estimates will probably be brought down fairly early in the session.
