the course followed by the Govern- ment in keeping full control of our W51‘ 9198mm l8 probably best for Canada, as under our parliamentary system, an alert and constructively critical op osltion is second only n import- ance to the government itself.

Patronllfl llld Favoritism

which I wrote to the Prime Minis- ter, on Supt. 22 last, protesting _o- gainst these tactics. In the special session I had very strongly suggest- ed the elimination of political pat- ronage and, Mr. King was very en- thus sstic in his rgply endorsing my position but sccor ng to my reports the practice l1 still in control in man, if not al parts of Canada.

Premier King Asks Details 0f Patronage

OTTAWA, Nov. 2-—(CP)-—Prl:ne Minister Mackenzie King tonight invited Conservative leader Munich to make public details of political patronage in government war work. against which the latter had pro- tested in a. statement issued earlier today, and promised to investigate any "specific charges."

Commenting on another phase of Dr. Manion's statement in which the opposition leader sold he or his party had not been consulted by the Prime Minister on war pol- icies, Mr. Mackenzie King said “re- sponsibility in so grave a matter cannot be divided."

Dr. Mimlon said his statement was issued because of an impres- sion in the public mind that the administration frequently consulted with him as National Conservative Leader "and that we are equally responsible with them for Canada's conduct of the war."

The Conservative leader said there has been no consultation sincs parliament prorogued and that full responsibility rested with the government.

Toronto Flier Killed In Crash

TORONTO. Nov. 2 -(CP)—-Mrs. S. Connor of Toronto received word today that her son, sir-crafts- man Bernard Connor, 20, was kil- led in an airplane crash in Wales Sunday.

Connor, after schooling in To- ronto, joined the 48th Highlanders Signal Corps here. In 1938 he join- ed the Royal Air Force in England as s wireless operator. Relatives in Scotland are making funeral ar- rangements and he will be buried inn in c, femily plot.

As fest as bombers, ordered by Great Britain prior to the (my- break of the war. are landed in New York after flights from the west coast they are being crntcd,

Removal oif the Wings and the application of l sprayed oil which solidifies on contact with metal to prevent corrosion swpplies st least ostensible evidence of the ab- andonment of a. plan by Britain to ‘ferry’ plenes bv air across the 3.300 miles 0d ocean separating Newfoundland from Einglend.

Both types of bombers have suf- ficient range. if fitted with extra

Construction of a vast airport at Home's Csznip, in Newfound- land, started more than two years ago for Empire defence as well as conuriedcicl use. gave credence to reports that bomber flights would be attempted as s. means of supply to France and En land.

It was near Hut ie's Cumip that commercial flying boats took off and landed for almOst four months after the start of reg-ills: inter- continental service last June. The closing in of Botwood harbor by ice, however. led the operating company to abandon the route until next spring.

It is natural to suppose that the hazards of winter tying on the so-ciilled "northem route" led the French and British eli- ministries w abandon the nroiect for flying the bombers acres .
