PRIMATE'S RESIGNATION-TALK PREMATURE Feels That He Has Still Some Years' Work To Do
LEADING REUNION
OF CHURCHES
(By A Special Correspondent)
PERSISTENT rumours are circulating in clerical circles that the Archbishop of Canterbury may shortly re- sign his office, but I learned from people very near to the Primate that there is no likelihood of his retirement for a number of years yet.
It has been suggested that recent utterances, in which he has referred to the grave responsibilities resting on him, indicated an intention to resign soon..
Advancing years, and the grave anxieties that he has passed through in the ablication crisis, as well as the serious mental con- flict caused by the Marriage Bill (and reflected in his House of Lords speech) were put forward as reasons for this decision.
The possibility has been freely,
discussed in Church circles for SAFEGUARDING some months past. But no sug- gestion one way or the other has emanated from Lambeth Palace.;
It is true, I am told, that the ahili-1 cation crits eased him rest an xlety and mental strain, in view of the big part that he played in it. is also true that his health has never) been robust.

But it is also true that, with the abdication crisis a thing of the past. and the onerous duties imposed on him by the Coronation over and done with, the Archbishop has been able to relax a little, and, further, that his Jiealth at the moment is better than It has been for some time past..
PROBABILITY
De Long is 70. His predecessor, Dr. Davidson, who in 1928 created o precedent by becoming the frat Archbishop of Canterbury to resign his office and retire into private ille,
was 80 when he did so,

The beautiful stretchi of the Themes between Riverwood, Marlow, and Bourne End may be saved from spoliation if the efforts now being made to preserve is amenities meet with the support they deserve. A scheme has been formulated under which the local authorities will sub- scribe 65 per cent, of the cost pro- vided that £2,500 is raised by pubile subscription.
