London, December 21, CANADA'S HIGH COMMIS STONER

The Canadian High Commis- sloner, Mr. Howard Ferguson, has had a severe attack of pneumonia, which has kept him out of Lon- don's public life for the last month.

I hear from Mrs. Ferguson that he is now well on the road to re- cavery, but will not be able to leave his home for another week or two. Mr. Ferguson has been Prime Minister of Ontario, and, should Mr. Bennett "at any time elect to relinquish the leadership of the Conservative party in Canada, his claim to the succession' would be strongly urged."

His eyesight has troubled him throughout his public career, but NO GURE NO PAY his vigorous, enthusiastic per

sonality has enabled him to sur- mount the handicap.

All the profits have come out of the dues imposed on shipping, about half of which is Brittish. About half the profits therefore come out of

the coffers of the Brittish shipping companies.

That opportunity is denied to Mr. Elliott, since he is not in Holy Orders.

In the past it has also been customary for the Head Master to take Sixth Form regularly in classics. Mr. Elliott's forte, how ever, is history.

In this subject he has taken the Sixth Form a few times. I gather that he hopes to do so more free quently next half.

The smooth running of the Eton machine during this half is. I think, a proof that Mr. Elliott has made good in the eyes of a pe- culiarly critical body of judges.::
