II P PIIINIMENIS

Much Speculation Re-

garding Disposition of Portfolio Seats.

(Special to the Gunrdiuil

OTTAWA, Ont., Aug. 1.-I-lon. R..

‘ B. Benriettfs cabinet problems are the Portfolios of Labor and Railways and the Manitoba reprmentation. With the St.,La.wrence development in sight, Mr. Bennett wants a strong Ontario man in the Department of

Canadian, and National Catholic. The three let Ministers of the Labor De- partment have belonged to the In- temational, which has ia member- ship of double the other two wm- -bined.

It also includes the big railways,

unions and the typographical union. rt la stable and une, and is the greatest bulwark against Commun- ism. If possible, the new Labor Min- ister will be of this organization.

Manitoba representation in the

Cabinet is causng lVi‘:r. Bennett much worry. Hon. Robert Rogers is a vet- ` eran in political life and in both Federal and Provincial administrat- ions, but he is near-ly seventy. and the Conservative party is demanding young blood in the new administrat- ion. Then there are mic Willis, Sour- is and W. W. Kennedy, Winnipeg North Centre, active, able and young, but it is doubtful if they have ar- rived at the maturity of judgement requisite for Ministerial success.

MAY HAVE T0 G0 OUTSIDE

It is quite possible Mr. Bennett

may have to go outside his Parlia- mentary representatlon for a. Manit- oba Minister. According to rumor. the present outlook is for Fisheries to ‘go to Nova Scotia, Customs to New Brunswick. Marirte. Public Works, State and Solicitor General to Quebec, Postmaster General, Soldiers Welfare, Railways, Labor and Justice to Ori- tario: Interlor to Manitoba, Agri- culture to Saskatchewan or British Columbia. Prime Minister with ex- ternal Affairs and Finance to Al- berta, and Trade and Commerce or Agriculture to British Columbia. This leaves Natonal Defence which will go to one of the Wester; Provinces

"Everybody was holding on to some

"There was a rattling of furniture and crockery all over the ship that overruled all other sounds."

A Barrage of Questions With these few words, Sir Dennis- toun Burney. director of aircraft de- velopment and designer of the Bri- tish diriglble dismissed casually the great adventure of Britain`s Queen of the skies here today.

Interview to the Press

bcovt, assistant director of airship development, squadron leader R., S. Booth, captain or the R-iool and squadron leader Johnston, navigat- ing omcer. gave a. Joint interview to members of the Press shortly after the ship docked at St. Hubert. this morning-

The interview was an informal one.

The four officers. tired but jubilant. submitted to a barrage of questions covering all angles of the flight.

There were still five tons of fuel

left aboard the ship when she hooked into the mast here.

The most valuable thing learned

on the trip was that travel by airsliirl was the most comfortable means of transportation. The course taken is the most feasible for commercial use if larger ships are used.

Ship Wu Well Tested

It was a very good .test of the

ships ability,” Sir Dennistoun said. “We ran into one of _vour thunder- storms last night and rose to 4,000 feet to get out of it.

The trip was 3.304 miles from the

mooring maat at Cardington to mooring mast at Montreal.

"The chief benefit we derived from
