In an interview with The Guard-

ian prior to his departure yester- day for Ottawa, Mr. J. Lester Douglas, Liberal M. P. for Queen's. said he learned authoritatively that Dr. T. V. Grant, M. P. for King's. had informed a member of the Provincial Government by tele- phone from Ottawa that he (Dr. Grant) and Hon. G. l-I. Barbour. Minister of Public “forks and i-llgh- ways, were to be appointed to the two vacant Senatgrslilps in Prince Edward Island. "it is a most unusual procedure for an ordinary M. P. to make any announcement or intimation with regard to Senate appointments. which can only be properly made by the Prime Minister of Canada," Mr. Douglas declared. "Ihis has always been the Prime Minister's prerogative. and it would appear that in the present case an effort is being made to force the Prime Minister's hand by a premature statement."

Mr. Douglas said he had it on the best ltuthority that no s/ppolxit- menu to the Senate would be made until after Parliament pro- rogues.

With regard to his own claim to a Senator-ship. Mr. Douglas said his political record spoke for it- self. I-Is had been an active sup- porter of the Liberal Party .for thirty years, and since his election by acclamatlon to the House of Commons in 1938 had been return-

Prince Edward Island has a new Great Seal. which arrived recently for the Provincial Secretary's Of- fice, and which will replace the Great Seal used since Queen Vic- toria's time on such important documents as proclamations, letters patent, commissions and various state documents.

The Seal was manufactured at the Royal Mint at Ottawa and while it is the same size as its predeces- sor, the design is somewhat differ- ent, Instead of the Imperial coat of arms it has the crest of the Prov- ince, uirrounded by the words: "Great Seal of the Province of Prince Edward Island."

Meanwhile, the existence of the Island's most noteworthy Grent Seal still remains a mystery. It was I191!" by American Pblvateers when they raided Charlottetown in 1775, and every effort made to trace ita whereabouts has been unsuccess-
