He
had

in

and
annrentlced
there.
Then
he
came
to

and
lived
In

Eventually
he
had
taken
a
Job
on
a
farm
at

(10
a

and

and
this
had
benefited
him
-
very
greatly,
making
him
very
fit
physically.
Then
he
had
gone
to
the
United
States
and
worked
his
way
through
university
and
later
became
manager
of
a
big
mortgage
and
loan
company.
Looking
over
cities
with
a
view
to
making
.loans
had
given
him
a
great
opportunity
to
study
and
compare
cities.
When
he
was
on
his
way
to
Prince
Rupert
to
take
over
the
com-mlssionershlp
he
had
overheard
a
conversation
in
which
a
man
said
he
had
asked
a
taxi-driver
to
take
him
to

the

had

he
felt
It
part
of
his
duty
to
encourage
the
provision
of
things
for
the
tourists
to
see.
Since
that
time
the
Horticultural
Society
had
been
formed
and
had
done
excellent
work.
The

had

relations

I
believe
some
advantage

concerned.
"Matters
which
have
been

to
the

Our

RESIGNS
Political
Crisis

PARIS.

14:
(CP)
After
nine
Socialist
members
of
the
cabinet
led
by
Former
Premier
Leon
Blum
announced
withdrawr
al
'of
their
support,
the
government
of
Premier
Carille
Chau-temps
resigned
early
today,
precipitating
another
political
crisis
in
France.
The
government
had
consisted
half
and
half
of
Socialists
and
National
Socialists.
Chau-temps
declined
to
form,
a
new
government,
his
split
with
Communist
and
Socialist
allies
in
the
People's
Front,
which
preceded
the
resignation
of
the
cabinet,
precluding
attempts
to
form
another,
he
said.
The
crisis
was-
precipitated
by
growing
labor
unrest
and
the
fall
of
the
franc.
George
Bonnett,
until
recently,
French
ambassador
to
Washington
and
minister
of
finance
in
the
retiring
Chautemps
cabinet,
was
invited
by
President
Albert
Le-brun
today
to
form
a
new
government.
Despite
refusal
of
French
industrialists
to
attend
Premier
Chautemps'
peace
conference,
it
had
been
announced
earlier
in
the
day
the
government
would
proceed
with
measures
on
behalf
of
French
labor.
There
were
demonstrations
by
Communists
on
the
streets
of
Paris
in
criticism
of
the
employers'
attitude.-
;
The
franc
dropped
to
Its
lowest
level
in
twelve
years
yesterday.
In
unofficial
trading
it

All
