The association called for a re- turn by the unemployment insur- ance scheme “‘to sound insurance principles." It claimed there was a gradual departure from such principles during the last two years when the insurance fund was sharply reduced.

One of these ‘“‘departures” was caused by expansion of seasonal benefits which, the association claimed, were in effect welfare rather than unemployment insur- ance benefits.

“Paying benefits where abnor- mally heavy claims are certain to occur each year for specified classes of risks is as foreign to insurance principles as trying to insure houses which, it is known, will burn down during the period

of the insurance.”

OTTAWA (CP) — Speculation

since June*21, 1957, also has said the external affairs appointment would be part of a general cab- inet shuffle.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Diefenbaker, who decides the makeup of the cabinet, was giv- ing no hints except to say in reply to repeated commons inquiries about the external affairs post that he was making progress to- wards a decision there.

After Mr. Smith’s death, Jus- tice Minister Davie Fulton was the one most prominently men- tioned as his successor. Then Fi- nance Minister Donald Fleming was installed as the favorite in speculation. Now it is Mr. Green.

Mr. Green also is government leader in the Commons, steering the administration’s legislation and business through: the House.

LONG SPEECH IS ASSAILED

GREENFORD, England (AP) An unknown Englishman Tues- day struck a firm blow for the worldwide corps of \ listeners who confess to boredom at af- ter-dinner speeches.

\He got up at a civic banquet, grabbed the mayor of this small town by his coat lapels and tried to sit him down.

Mayor R. E. Daly had been speaking for 15 minutes when it happened.

His flow of words was lost as the man grappled with him and shouted:

“We've had about from you.

“You've gone on just long enough and that seems enough.
