Baldwin Plans Continued from Page One. Ramsay MacDonald at the London Round- Table conference on India, Mr.

Churchill bitterly opposes the scheme of modified self-Government that has been evolved, and that is to be the subject of negotiations in India shortly. Prefers His Home. Political observers believe Mr. Baldwin could be little hurt even by the open defection of Churchill. The Conservative party leader has become one of the best-liked figures In Great Britain.

His disinterestedness is questioned only by those who say that no man could be quite honest as Mr. Baldwin pears to be, and the weight of evidence is against them. He has on number of occasions that he would not mind retirement from public life, either voluntary or enforced. He prefers his Worcestershire home and the he breeds there to the hazards of Mr. Baldwin's opponents have little ammunition to Aight the Conservative leader outside of the charge that he lacks some of the driving force, the viajon and Initiative that make for a great political leader.

That he is sound, trustworthy, cautious and even clever, is admitted. But his critics declare he looks opportunity in the and by. 1923. The premiership came to Mr. Baldwin in 1923 through the double coincidence of the death of RI.

Hon. Arthur Bonar Law and the fact that Lord Curzon, the logical successor, was in the House of Lords and the Conservative chieftains considered that a Prime Minister with the House of Commons essary to cope with the growing strength of the Labor opposition. Mr. Baldwin has remained Conservative leader, not because he has been anxious to eling to the post, but rather because of a fine sense of duty and the recognition that in the rank and file of the party there is no one to take his place. He possesses many of the qualities of statesman first rank.

He is an extremely good speaker, though on ultra-important political occasions falls short of the spell-binding, magnetic speeches that have made history in the House of Commons. He is at his best perhaps on non-political subjects, especially of a classical nature. But If an impatient section of his party consider him disappointing leader, this product of generations of small landowners and Industrialists who conducted their business in the old Conservative way they administered their estates, mains to the great bulk of the tion curiously sympathetic sonality man to head nation.

McGiverin was born in Hamilton in 1870, the offspring of two prominent families. His father, of Irish stock. was Lt. -Colonel William McGiverin. MP.

who sat for Lincoln County in the Federal House, and his mother was Emma Counsell, members of whose family were conspicuous in the legal and public Life of the Dominion. At an early age H. B. McGiverin showed indications of the qualities which were to make him outstanding in later life, At school and college he took foremost place in athletics, but the same time by DO means neglected his work in the classroom. Showed Versatility.

To both pursuits he turned unusual natural abilities and instinctive application. At Upper Canada College he the football and cricket teams in his first year; developed style of slow bowling which later ranked him with Bosanquet and Hordern, and on the gridiron his speed and tactics took him across the line in match after match. When he went to Toronto University and Ougoode Hall he carried his academic and athletic prowess into wider fields. "Varsity" never had more brilliant exponent of football and before Jong. as captain of the squad, he led her to many notable victories.

About this time, when he was not 20 years of age, he was selected to play In the international cricket eleven against the United States and for 21 1 years thereafter was picked for every succeeding contest. In one match in the nineties, match which has become historic In the annals of cricket, he dismissed whole United States eleven for 35 runs. With these laurels on campus came also high standing in the schools, and he graduated with high honors both from Varsity and Osgoode. Settled In Capital, Young McGiverin at this time had made several visits to Ottawa on football and cricket teams. He liked the place and he liked the people and so, when he contemplated a locality in which to start his life work, he chose the Capital.

That was in 1804, and it was only a short time before he became conspicuous figure in community life. Once more he continued the policy which he had put force in school and college- even concentration on work and play. Match after match against the est city and college football squads the Dominion saw McGiverin of the Rough Riders win the plaudits ol the bleachers. His abilities and leadership soon made him their and at the same time he the Ottawa Cricket eleven to the greatest achievements in its history. Later captained for five years the Canadian cricket eleven in its annual international matches against the United States and was generally considered the greatest slow bowler on the continent.

Along with these athletic activities he was building up big reputation lawyer.

His forceful and witty speeches in Upper and Lower Town during several campaigns, his popularity as athlete and lawyer and his winning personality made him natural contender for pubile honors.

in a memorable campaign in Ottawa in that year he was returned by big plurality and sat until 1911. In that year he went down in the Liberal landslide, but made another effort to come back in 1917 when Sir Wilfrid Laurler was his running mate here. Conscription was then the burning issue of the day and despite both candidates, great standing and popularity they went down to defeat. The stand which Mr. McGiverin held throughout the Dominion in the Liberal party was demonstrated by his selection as Liberal whip for Ontario in 1900, and in this office he was one of the most popular men in the House.

Had Largest Majority. After the war, when a strong Lib. eral candidate was looked for in Ot4 tawa, H. P. McGiverin was selected in 1921 just the exact type for momentous battle.

After stirring light he was returned by a majority of 6,258, the largest ever given a didate in Ottawa. From that time until 1925 he held conspicuous place a member of the King tion, his services finally culminating in his appointment in 1925 Ister without portfolio in the King Cabinet. At this time glowing tribute to his personality citizen and public figure was demonstrated by the staging of a memorable quet in his honor. 1 Mr. McGiverin- was not candidate in the general election of 1925, and since that time had devoted his attentions to his business and private munity deepest go sympathy, of fortner The the Alice Maude, daughter of Hon.

"Since the first of October, 1902, had been together in an association which never knew any differences and which rested not upon contract, but upon the simple word of one man to another.

To Mrs. McGiverin, his son and family wish to convey the expression of my deepest sympathy." ATTENDANCE SUFFERS. Many pupils and also members of the teaching staff of the High School of Commerce are absent from school owing to illness, it was stated today.

Palmer, who contrasted the slow and ponderous manner of land surveying in the north and west few years ago with the equally accurate and speedy fashion of today. The development of the Northwest Territories, comprising twofifths of the area of all Canada, was the subject of a paper delivered by T.

He said he hoped to call public attention to the Importance of this matter in more striking way than would be possible in prose. Entitled "The War Debts," the verses read: Oh war debts and You're a blight on all the nations, You embitter their relations. You're the chief of all causations Of their woes and tribulations, Of the problems that perplex them. the tia that grieve and vex them.

Make an end of reparations. Lift the yoke that bows the nations! "You may have noticed that some eminent bankers of the United States and Great Britain have recently expressed a similar view," Sir Thomas said. "German reparations payments have been one of the chief causes of the -growing armaments in Europe. They are causing widespread want and misery in Germany. They have also been most serious contributing tor in the depression in the British coal and other industries, and in the European tariffs erected against wheat and other products.

"Their has been severely felt by all nations in respect of their export trade and general business. As to the indebtedness of Great Britain and other European nations to United States, my belief is that the latter, from the standpoint of their economic interest alone, would gain materially by cancellation or drastic revision.
