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 alxdication crisis, as well as the serious mental con- Alet caused by the Merringe Bill (and reflected in his House of} Lords speech) were put forward as reasons for this decision.

The possibility has been freely|

It is true, I am told, that the all- . cation critia caured him great an- | xlety and mental strain, in view of the big part that he played in it. 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 un him by the Coronation over and done! with, the Archbishop has been able to relax a lttle, and, further, that his health at the moment is better than it has been for some time past.

MF. G. Langley Taylor, hon. secretary, Buckinghamshire branch of the Council for the Preservation of Rural England, alluding to criticism that the price propused was too high, urged them not to be short- sighted. The people of Bourne End were being offered £0,500 worth of "goods" for £2,500,
