Mr. Mackenzie King put it up to the members to say whether they thought he should accompany the King throughout the tour or remain in Ottawa.

He declared l: believed it was his duty to go because the people of the empire as a whole and of Canada in particular would cerpect it of him and because it was the King's wish.

‘ . April 24 — Great Britain today opened trade nego- tiations with Rumsnia which in- formed quarters said marked the beginning o! s. broad campaign to draw Rumania away from the ec- onomic and political influence of Germany.

Acommision of British finan- cial a-nd industrial experts started to work immediately after their arrival here at noon. Sir Freder- ick Leith-H/oss, economic adviser to ilhe United Kingdom Govern- ment. heads the commission which was credited here with having pol- itical as well as economic motives.

outwardly the negotiations were regarded as a counter-move to Gel-snarl trade mtroads made in the German-Rumanisn trade pact of March B. Britain's decision to send the commission was announ- ced March 2A during the German- Hiumanian negotiations.

‘This expectation could be great- ly modified one set of figures, which for Hit er are not available. These are the life spans oi his an- cestors. His chances are definitely those oi the ancestral average.

These missing figures could even write a sharp change in DerFuoh- rer's old age prospects, a possible margin of 26 years. t figure is the average gap between short- iived and long-lived rsoms. as found by Dr. Raymcn Pearl of Johns Hopkins University.
