Canadian C: mcnt Travel Bureau, who will address a .. mcetf in the Board Room of the Ci-._~ at 8.15 s evening. Mr, Dolan's

subject \-...l be the tourist industry of Canada, and his message should prove of much interest and imporzancc. The meeting is being held under :11: ants ‘ces of the P. E. I. Travel Bur- can, wl". h has done much to publicize our tour- ist attractions abroad,~and stimulate interest in the value of the industry at home. i

Mr. Dolan is no stranger to Prince Edward Island, and those who heard him on former occasions will not need to be reminded that he is s fluent and entertaining speaker.

Then was s singular point of exception hkcn by Hugh Plaxton, (Liberal) Z\l.P., when he ap- peared by order of the Davis Commission to give evidence in the Bren gun inquiry. H: ss- sened that, as a member of Parliament he was not subject to the Commission's jurisdiction, that its terms of reference were ultra vircs of the Crown insofar as they directed an investigation of the connection of any member of the House with the Bren gun contract.

“I ask it to be understood,” declared this

young .\l.P., “that in entering the box I am not waiving, compromising, or alienating any of the

privileges that belong to the House of Com-

mons and which may obtain so in: u one of its members.” - i

“You are not,” asked the Commissioner, Mr. jiiqice Davis, “making any reservations as to the cxtcnt to which you will submit to examina- tion?"

"That is true." replied Mr Plaxton, “but

there are no doubt privileges of the House of (fnmmnns which obtain (sic) to rne personally. For lfl~iflllCP tire-r» i< m_v right to review the evid- cncc and fitvhrgs m’ the Commission. That is one right I \‘."~il to mike clear I am not ceding for a mwitiI-nl."

A national committee is to be appointed by the Federal Government to make the necessary ar- rangcments for thc Royal Visit early next sum- mer.

Quebec Liberals are greatly upset by the loss of the two provincial by-clcctions. and are now protesting against Liberal Leader Godboufs sug- gestion at the beginning of the contests that Duplessis should dissolve the legislature and go to the country for a new mandate. What they need, of course. is a purge of the Provincial Lib- eral party; so long as the old Taschcrcau gang hold sway, the Liberals of Quebec are destined to remain in the shades of opposition.

Encouraging success has attended the efforts to provide gardens for the unemployed this season.

Comes a “high-ranking official" of the National Defence Depart- ment (who do you suppose he can be?) to tell the newspa that "due to the difficulty ﬁ has arisen over the Bren gun con- tract,” Great. Britain may not give us any more war orders. Says thnwanunymopsﬁgtentlunan: -
