Ur. 13raeken- is young- (somewhere around 40) and Before that he was secretary to Mr, ,Churchill. He is, I believe, 4 'bikalekir. ;rod a rich man, Cartoonists delight in his features. He has one of the hard- est ,jobs in England, the handling of publicity in wartime. met him ccv- .erai times during my visit and thought him capable, Interesting and , quite human, Mr, Brac,ken came around the next day with a message. We would not only meet Mr. Churehill, but we were going to hear him speak in the House of Commons first, It would be his first speech before Parialment in more than three months, Atrangernents were be- ing made to find us seats in the gal- leries, Afterwards, Mr, Bracken him- self would take us to the Prime Min- ister's office and we could ask him . any questions we liked, A few mornings earlier, our little group had been greeted Westmin- stem- by the officers of the Parliamen- tary Union and then had•been conduc- red thoroughly through Ihe. Houses of Parliament by two titled guides, one a member of the House of Lords and the other from the House of Corn- mons, They had been thorough, in- formative and amusing. We had even seeb such place as the room where Guy Fawkes had stored .the ' gun powder intended to blow up an earlier Parliament, We had gazed regretfully at the few piles of rubble and twisted girders which were all that remained of the House of Commons room, We had seen the room in the same build- ing where the Commons now meets, A least one of the Canadians took time out to sit in the red leather seat the Prime Minister sits, just near the corner of the great table. The Mother of Parliaments The lace looked very different on our second visit. Crowds were hurry- ing through the halls, with policemen in conspicuous numbers'. I sometimes wondered if the Londonpoliceruins?" were as wise as they looked, With Brendan Bracken as guide, it did not matter: they all knew him, . As Mr. Bracken shepherded us past the guards, lie told us that he could secure seats for some in the Press Gallery, and others would be' distri- batted in other garners, I was one of five or six fortunate enough to go to the Press Gallery. We went to the rooms of the Serjeant at Arms (the spelling is as it appears on the docu- ments) and were enrolled as duly con- stituted members of the Press Gallery. We signed our names in a huge vol- ume which undoubltedly •contained many interesting signatures, and re- ceived passes ' to prove that we were members. Mine was No. 34 for this new Session, There were some surprises. I had always heard that there were not suf- ficient seats in the House to atcom- modate all the members at once, yet on this day, with the Prime Minister reviewing' the war for the first time in months, there were seats to spare. the members were seven wo- men, three with hats and four with- out. No two sat together. They were widely scattered, each in a separate row of spats. The Press Gallery wasn't filled. In the row -ahead, 1 saw Harold Fair, the Canadian Press representative, whose home is in Arthur, Ontario. In all the other galleries, there would not be more than one hundred spectators, Probably it is hard to gain admission in these clays. One would suppose thousands more would like to hear Churchill speak. Among that hundred, the guide pointed out some notable persons. Directly behind Mr, Churchill sat one of his daughters. Directly op- positd was Mr. Maiskey, the Russian ambassador. That was in .the days when Russia's part in the conflict'was uncertain, but Mr. Maiskey had just told the Inner War Cabinet that Pet- rograd would be still in Russian hands by Christmas; that the Germans would never take Moscow. During the question period, I had time to . look aroond. Overhead was ornate ceiling like that in the Sen- ate Chamber at Ottawa. Around the. walls were life-size 'statutes of the ancient knights. Immediately behind my back stood a former Duke of Gloucester with spear and shield, Churchill Speaks To Parliament Whert.Prime Minister Churchill rose to speak, he was almost directly be- low me.. Over the railing, I could• look down on his partly-bald head, with wisps of hair brushed across it. He' stood at the corner of the table on which the timee lay. Before him were his notes in a broad book, He did not read the speech but kept his aye' fre- silently on his notes, 1 ' Mr. Churchill .was chtased in the Same clothes Ott sees in .80 -Mary of his photographs, That is not surpris-: ing since his stilts are as strictly ra- as those of .every Britisher, He ltad oil A black coat, with a white " ' hatidkerchief showing Conspicuously •ov•er the edge- of the :breast pocket,: He wore the famous bow tie with the .,. .spots and spettaeles with heavy rims. The skin.of his faee and :head 'was a.. bright rosy pink as I looked down at of Canadian newspaper-where a at Westminster.five •. active. He has not held his post long. different close range, The only conspicuous`to adornment was a heavy gold watch chain across ill$ broad V051:' There is no need to quote from that -speech now. Partly it reviewed the course of the war, but to a greater extent, it was an attack on his critics in the House, the press and the court- tryside, It contained plena' of punch, as all his speeches do. He used few gestures. Sometimes he grasped the edge of the table in front of .him; at times, he held the lapels of his coat or .elasPed his hands behind his back or over his stomach. Lt: was the words that counted, rather than the manner of their delivery. In The Prime Minister's Office Just as soon as. Mr. Churchill had completed his speech, I hurried out of the gallery and, met the •other Can- adians. Mr, Bracken was waiting for us and took us down winding stair- ways and along corridors, past three or fair more policemen. Outside the Prime Minister's office,. we waited for him to arrive, He came in a few minutes, Already, he had lighted one of his - famous Cigars. He invited us into his room and as we were introduced by the Minister of Information, he shook hands with each one, asking the name Of the paper as well as of the man, He is an old newspaper man himself, The room is large and L-shaped, A huge, ornate fireplace is conspicuous on. one wall and on either side of' it were etchings of famous prime min- isters of the past, In front of the fire- place is Mr. Churchill's desk, but he • did not sit down. Instead, he walked up and down all the time he was. talk- ing to us. He was bubbling over with eoergy and apparently pleased •with the speech he had just delivered, He began with a joke. "You have had plenty of time to see thc City of London? . . . Ircal have visited the damaged areas and the House of Commons? . . . Now I suppose you have come here so that you could say you had seen ;in the But there was nothing that looked like a ruin about him. It was amaz- ing that a man could carry the cares of an Empire at. war and show the effects so little. We told him how glad we were to be there and how highly he was regarded in Canada, We said that when his voice comes over the air,' ' peolpe stop work to listen. We said we were sorry he had not • been able to .come to Canada after the meeting with President Roosevelt on the Atlantic. He seemed to like that and recipro- sated by praising what Canada and Canadians had done. He would like to visit Canada again but it was hard to spare the time away from London now. His answers to questions about the war were "off the record," but that did not matter, He told us little that he had not already said in the House. He joked over his use of American slang and asked us if it had been cor- reedy done. (He had said: "The For- sign Office ill. deserves the treatment it has rece i ve d f rom natural and pro- fessional crabs") . Before he shook hands again in bid- 11 he promised to give ding us farewe , us each a written message to bring back to Canada , Two days later, copies arrived at the hotel for each of Us. They read: "From visits such as yours we in Britain gain fresh and heart- cuing assurance of the / unremit- ting effort anti unconcifierable spirit of the Dominions overseas, Now you are going back to tell the people of Canada what you have seen and heard. Tell them also that never before have we at home felt more sure of our- selves and of our cause.

I have seen considerable new road grading being done on Howick roads since that tiMe,—eonstiming. gas, and presumably discouraging the war savings campaign, No doubt the councillor's vision was obscured by his many outside interests.

Most of the details on the amount of gasoline available for the various cate- gorier did not become available for the various categories available until Friday, But Mr, Howe earlier in the day announced the various categories of gasoline users. Closing Hours Remain Officials here said the new gasoline regulations should not be taken as an indication of the cud of restricted hours of sale-7 a.m. to 7 p.m. The sales hours restrictions, adopted last summer, were said to have worked out ."very well." In. a morning statement lit which Oil •Controller Cottrelle collaborated, Mr% Howe warned 'there could be, no guarantee that the proposed ration of• 300 to 380 gallons a year for non-es- sential drivers could be maintained. • At the start of the rationing plan, as it sitapes up now, each owner of a motor vehicle will apply for a $1 ' gasoline license in conjunction with his automotive license and will receive a book of gasoline ration coupons, The rgtion books will be divided into 'quarters and into 00 units, The number of units to be. allowed. for each quarter remains to be announced but it was said there would be more available for use in peak motoring months. To start with each coupon unit in the ration scheme will be fore five gallons of gasoline with a motorist having the opportunity of presenting half •a coupon for 2i4. gallons if he desires, Mr. Howe said, it would be neces- sary for all those in preferred cote- gorier to prove necessity in order to qualify for the special ratings. A close check will be kept on the amount of gasoline consumed by each commercial vehicle, Mr. Cottrelle said, "If the number of book covers filed against the vehicle license number in- clicates consumption in excess of es- timated consumption the vehicle open- ator will be called to account." Dealing with the preferred rating available for some workmen, Mr, Cottrelle said: "If an employee can be transported in a vehicle operated by or for his factory, lie does not need additional gasoline to take him to work and lie will not get it, By the' same token he will not get ad- clitional gasoline if adequate public transportation services are available. Drivers of private cars — those who use them for non-essential purposes will be able to buy 95 gallons of gas- aline from July 1 to - September 30, 1942, the Munitions mill Supply De- partment announced. From April 1 to June 30 they will be able to buy :80 gallons .of gasoline, and 75 from. -October 1 to Dee, 31„ The shortest ration will be from Jail- nary . 1 to March 81, 1948, when they will be able to buy only' 50 gallons. This is the -ration for drivers -placed in the "A" category — those who drive for nail-essential purposes. It was estimated that coupons &sig- limed "first Quarter" will take a, tar about 850 miles, "Second Quarter" about 1,400 miles, "Third Quarter" about 1,700 miles, and `Tomtit Quart* er" coupons aboot 1,3E0 miles, . . .. ..... , ' lan heavily . armed ) plANEsof.
