Court Rules Parliament May Abolish Appeals
OTTAWA.-Canada look a long step toward final Indepen. dence of its courts—a slep toward breaking the remaining link which has bound the Judicial system of the Dominion to that of Great Britain.
The Supreme Court of Canada ruled that the. Canadian Parlia- ment has the right to abolish appeals to the. Judicial Commit- Lee of the Privy Council, in London.

She said: "I believe that the war with Germany is going to be Britain's greatest task.

One major reason advanced for the abolition of appeals has been "At first it seemed that the whole country was united to that the Law Lords who serve as. face the great struggle. Since then considerable disaffection the Judicint Committee of the Privy has shown itself.
