Ml". 1isley‘s decision apparently ends speculation that he will seek the Liberal leadership at the na- tional convention here in August. He had been mentioned along with External Affairs Minister St. Laur- ent, Agriculture Minister Gardiner. Trade Minister Howe and Health Minister Martin as in the running tc succeed Prime Minister Mac- kenzie King.

Came Ae Surprise

w. Ilsley's announcement took members ofParliernent by surmise nnd‘was the chief topic during the dinner recess. There was no ini- mediate comment from Mr. King, attending a reception at the Argen- tine Embassy,

Speculation arose as to the next Justice Minister. Many names were mentioned in over-the-table discussions. including Edouard Rin- frctr Liberal member for Montreal Outremont, Jean Lasege. Liberal member for Montmngng-lilslet, and Hugues Lapolnte, son of s. former Justice Minister and mem- ber for Lotblnlere.

However, the post is not expect- ed to be filled until Mr. King shuffles the Cabinet. possibly tliortly before the Liberal conven- tion. At that time, too. a. number of Cabinet members are ted to be appointed to the SensTe.

There wa some surprise that the

cement did not come from the Prime Minister. as is custom- ary on Cabinet changes.

' source by way of explanation, "is

Jim's way of showing that he is a rugged individualist."

Many private members of Par- liament. the men whose support will count heavily when the votes are cast in the convention hall, have been leaning his way in their discussions about possible leader- ship candidates. Mr. llsley himself had given no hint as to whether he even was considering the pos- sibility.

However. some of his closest as- sociates had been convinced up to tonight that he would become a third candidate if External Affairs Minister St. Laurent. most promin- ently mention ‘ as the new leader. Iiet opposition and the contest be- cl-ma more than a one-man show.

At the same time, observers here pointed out that Mr. Haley's retire- ment from‘ the Government does not necessarily rule him out in the leadership race. He still could dand should a group of delegates seek his nomination and should he agree w run.

dreadful-s" last year. each Province submitted reports of their findings. Conveners of two Provinces stated that comic books had disappeared completely from many news-stands. One Provinrclal comvener said the saving of Canadian dollars has beriefitted in reducing the sale of comics since many are published in the United States.

"The comic strips. however, are

literature of today." taid Mrs. Detwiier. "Just to look at the row upon. ugly row of gruesome cover- pictiurosin a news-stand is enough to make ones hair curl."

She stressed the importance of mar-shelling public opinion against this type of literature.

Other Business

Mrs. Detwiler announced that the I.O.D.E. had spent $95,992 on educational work during the last year, an increase of $9.789 over the previous year.

Under the direction of Mrs. F. L J. Goout, Toronto, national film convener, a. resolution was passed recommending formation of a national film fund, to which eacii chapter would contribute $1 or more yearly. It was felt that the order could help strengthen empire ties if they were in a position to procure films of historic signi- licorice.

Mrs. Grout said that due to the sponsorship of the Order nhere was a. 30 per cent increase in the book- ings of the “Canada Carries on" series, produced by the National Film Board.

A total cf $129,529 had been spent during the last year on child and family welfare work. it was re- ported by Mrs. A. K. Richardson of ‘Ikironto in absence of Mrs. H. B. Munro welfare oonvener. Ontario had spent the most of any Province on its welfare program, contribu? in! 346.378, followed by Alberta with an expenditure of 1322.045 and British Columbia with $12,539.

An important undertaking in Saskatchewan was the mother- milk-bamk which saved the lives of many new born babies, said Mrs. Richardson. Chapters across Can- ada had been responsible for test- ing 956 persons for tuberculosis Help had also been given to cancer patients. as well as cripples. aged and homeless persons.

Mrs, 1), E, Taylor. of Ottawa, convener of the JflnmlflTBtlOn and Caniadianization committee, said that while she deplored the number of Canadians moving to the United States, 8,970 had returned to» Can- ada within the last year because

they found their salaries went further here. Mrs. Taylor brought in the

resolution that the term "Common- wealth citizen." n-Ot be substituted for "British citizen." She said tliere had been a suggestion that persons of parent nations such as the French in Canada and the Dutah in South Africa mfg-ht prefer the term Commonwealth citizen."

Mrs. B, B. Osler. Toronto. nation- al Edioes secretary, recommended that if a junior chapter page is to be a. rquiar feature of the I.O.D.E. publication, its preparation should be the responsibility of junior chapters and Echoes secretaries in each Province as their turn came

The comparative simplicity of the Canadian system in electing a Gov- ernment and Prime Minister mis- lead many Canadians u to the manner in which the President of the United States ls-chcscn. the speaker explained, The American system had its origin in 178'! when thirteen states united to form a central, government. Each State was intensely jealous of its auth- ority and the constitution was drawn up in such a way as to in- fringe as little as possible upon State prerogatives.
