"LOCAL ACTIVITY"
LORD TWEEDSMUIR, the Governor-General of Ca- nada, is dead, the news coming as a profound shock to Canada, Britain and the Empire shortly¦ CAMP AT BALLYKINLAR IN COUN. after 8.30 a.m. (H.K. time) to-day. Fears had been expressed since the issue of a bulletin, signed by the five doctors in attendance at the Neuro- logical Institute, Montreal, stating that he had suf- fered a relapse, but a later intimation that prepara- tions were being made for a third operation and a blood transfusion afforded premature relief. Lord Tweedsmuir, famous through- out the world as John Buchan, author of the Hannay stories, as well of numerous historical and biographical works, had been Governor-General of Canada since 1935 and had endeared himself to the Dominion by his sin- cere interest in everything Canadian.
He took many tours of the differ- ent parts of the country and one of 12,000 miles into the bleak North- West was the longest such tour ever undertaken by a Governor-General.
He was an ardent advocate of closer Anglo-American relations, and made this friendship the theme of many speeches distin- guished both for their admirable form and thoughtful content. Me made the first official visit of a Canadian Governor-General to the President of the United States, and he welcomed and entertained the first King and Queen of Canada to tour the Dominion.
