LONDON, October 12 (N.AN.A)— “Very homely” is how the cook at 10 Downing street describes the life and fare of Prime Minister Macdonald and his household. I made my way through an army of painters. and busy workmen to a very laxge kitchen, which, with its long bright stoves, big areas of white paint and enormous, much-scrubbed table, con- jured up before my mind’s eye the vision of a whole multitude of sauce- pans, pots and dishes and many a teem- ing oven emitting dozens of scents and steams—all the fevered preparations, in short, that one would have thought g0 to make a prime minister’s dinner. There was no sign of any such ac- tivity now. Only a big bin labeled Flour” in enormous letters, and one ucepan of boiling water suggested any immediate ministrations to the “inner man” at 10 Downing street. But then, of course, Mr. Macdonald and his fam- ily are away. Fond of Walking. “Mr. Macdonald is out of the house for his walk in St. James' Park every mormn!I by 7 o'clock, accompanied by Miss Ishbel and any of the others who happen to be at home,” the cook sald “Miss Ishbel is a great walker—walk! My Goodness!™ ‘About an hour later the prime min-| ister returns to his early breakfast, which consists every day of porridge, followed by bacon and egg or fish. Pressure of work often makes breakfast | a meager meal, almost untouched some- times, and the milk and biscuits that are sent in to the premier at 10:30 are frequently the first food he has proper time for. “Those little ginger-nuts Mr. Mac- donald likes,” said the cook, “if he really has time to like anything. I doubt if he ever has a proper meal— always with his head in & book or busy ’wmm[. He always seems to be writ- ng.” For the other members of the family who are at home, Miss Sheila (who went up to Oxford only yesterday) or Miss Joan and perhaps Mr. Malcolm, biscuits and cocoa are served at the same time, 10:30. Lunch at 1—which the cook calls dinner—is the most substantial meal. Very plain fare it is—a joint (very often a leg of mutton) and three vegetables and two or three sweets afterward; no hors d'oeuvres, no soup, no fish. Often there is game instead of the joint, be- cause presents of game are frequently sent to the premier, but nothing more elaborate is prepared, no matter who Mr. Macdonald is bringing home. Tea Served at 4:30. There is tea at 4:30, and the last meal of the day, consisting only of an entree, followed by cheese, is served between 7 and 8.

According to the best advices obtainable in Wash- ington—and this writer believes they are well founded—Mackenzle King will talk frankly to Macdonald about the rift in the Canadian-American trade lute. 'The rift has been caused by the threat to dominion trade which Cana- dians discern in the new American tariff program. They fear that their dairy, lumber and cattle industries, mainly, and other industries less seri- ously, are imperiled by the higher du- ties - proposed. For six months and more Canada has roared and rumbled with protest against America’s “rough treatment” of her very best customer. Talk of reprisals and retaliations have reverberated all the way from Quebec to Vancouver. Situation Recognized. ‘The British people and government only this Summer took formal cogniz- ance of the Canadian-American tariff situation by dispatching a prominent member of the Macdonald Labor cabi- net to take advantage of it. J. H. Thomas, lord privy seal, an old-time Labor politician and a long-time crony of Ramsay Macdonald, came to Canada and spent several weeks there confer- ring with government leaders and bus! ness men. 3 When Thomas returned to_ Greal Britain & couple of weeks ago, he took with him practically & new commercial alliance between the dominion and the {mother country.

October 12.—Dis- tinguished jurists and lawyers from all over the world began arriving in Mem- phis today for the annual convention of the American Bar Association, the first session of which begins a week's meet- ing Monday. ‘This section—commissioners of uni- form State laws—has 126 members and at least 500 lawyers are expected to at- tend its deliberations. The conference will discuss proposed uniform laws covering child labor, marriage and di vorce, a mechanics’ lien law, narcotic drug act, firearms, securities and other acts. James A.

It is one of the nine sections of the association proper and one of the most important. ‘The convention proper will be opened October 23.

When Prime Minister- Macdonald crosses into Canada over t}h€ Interna. tional Peace Bridge uffalo next ‘Tuesday, he will reach'the soil which enters more largely into British con- sideration of relations with America tl any other part of the Empire. Ci a. beifig the British territory nearest the United States, it is often called a “hostage” held by this country against attack by Great Britain. The underlying theory is that one of the earliest effects of Anglo-American hos- tilities would be the loss of Canada to the United States. Thus the Dominion bulks conspicuously in the far-reaching | scheme of peace to promote which rremier Macdonald crossed At- antic, One Specific Mission. President Hoover's recent guest in ‘Washington has one specific mission in Canada. It consists of discussion with the Dominion Government regarding the dismantling of Halifax as a forti- fled British naval base. The project to that end is part of the general proposal to “demilitarize” all British territory in the western hemisphere, chiefly the islands in the Caribbean which more or less “command” the eastern entrance to the Panama Canal. All these matters figured in their proper place during the exhaustive con- versations in Washingtcn and on the Rapidan between Messrs. Macdonald and Hoover. In one of his speeches while on Canadian soil, the Prime Min- Ister is exm:wd to indicate the precise nature of his exchanges with the Amer- ican Presfient on the question of Brit- ish naval bases in the western world. Await Consultation. ‘Washington anticipates that ,the Prime Minister will withhold the in- formation until he has had opportunity to consult and advise with Mr. Mac- kenzie King, Prime Minister of Canada, and other Dominion officials. Halifax (Nova Scotia) is the one fortified British base on the North American Continent. It is also the seat of a naval dockyard. It has a certain strategic value for the British fleet, but, in the event of a war with the United States, Britain would not expect to re- tain control over Halifax for any con- | siderable period of time. If it were to be dismantled as a defended base, such de-militarization, like the stripping of the Bermudas and the West Indies of their fortifications, would be principally important as a gesture of British peace intent toward the United States. Premier Macdonald, in the Yankee vernacular, plans to “sell” this notion | to Canada, whose nominal consent at least would be required to carry it into | effect.
