The choice of Lord Willingdon as the next Governor- General

of Canada is :very wise. It will not be easy. to succeed Lord By-ng, but Lord Willingdon's fine record encourages us to believe that he will satisfy the Canadians as few other men could. He did excellently as Governor of Bombay and of Madras. He is both friendly and tactful. The London correspondent of the Manchester Guardian says that Lord Willingdon's name was picked out from a short list by the Canadian Premier.
