In thli can, however, It wu believed ht would only hold ht temporarily. Another tuggestion it tnat Sir Austen Chamberlain should go to .lie foreign office temporarily. Sir Austen is i former foreign secretary, It was said, however, that his well-known sympathy for the i rench would hardly be considered a recommendation ln the government's present situation, Anthony Eden, minister for League of Nations affairs, who has flayed a prominent part ln Great Britain's relations with European countries for some time, is still coniidered to be in the running. So ls Lord Halifax, former secretary for war and viceroy of India, although tne tact hi it a member of the house U lords and -therefore could- not r.ppear on the floor of the house of commons is regarded aa a draw- oack. The dark horse tn the field is Neville Chamberlain, chancellor ot the exchequer. Observers believed he would be the most popular ot all rhe possible appointees ln a permanent capacity.

George S. Pearson, min- •ster of labor, returned today from the east 3 shopping days until SMChrlsftnastt By the Canadian Preti Provincial governmenti and municipal directors studied the federal administration's Increased relief grants from two angles today. Premiers and provincial secretaries figured how best to distribute the allotment to city, tgwnship and county. Mayors, reeves snd wardens prepared to advance the needs of their particular areas. When grants to the provinces Increased by 15 per cent were announced at Ottawa the federal government made it clear that the provinces must assist the municipalities where necessary, but no cut-and-drled rule wu laid down, no stipulation u to whether the increue should- be handled on a flat basis or applied particularly to distressed areas. Comment from provincial governments todsy seemed to indicate the fund would be administered on a system of "most to those who need most". **' HALIFAX COMMENT At-Halifax, Prdffller Angus MJ-- donald. expressing pleasure st the increase, said the whole mstter will be talked over by relief officials. Most cities and municipalities in Nova Scotia have borne their share of relief, though in a tew cases the province hu bad to assume the whole burden. Other maritime authorities with the exception ot Saint John's Mayor J. W. Brittain, withheld comment until further study. Mr. Brittain anticipates a cut In Saint John'i relief costs to one-quarter their present amount HELP FOR QUEBEC Premier Tuchereau of Quebec wu not ln a position to discuss plans for distribution, but uid the Increase will enable Quebec to "render even greater assistance to our municipalities." Welfare Minister David Croll slid Ontario's lncresse from $600,000 to $1,030,000 a month was gratifying to the province, but remarked it was less than the $14,400,000 a year the Henry government bad received. Manitoba hu not yet decided how the grant will be apportioned, Premier Bracken said. It meant the Dominion would pay 42 per cent Instead of 28 per cent of Manitoba's relief cost—*not u much as we hoped for, but quite u much, u we expected." PRO RATA IN ALBERTA Alberta's extra $.5,000 a month will be divided among the municipalities largely on a pro rata basis, according to Premier Aberhart In some cases particularly hard-hit districts may be given Increases a bit higher than their proportion. Question ot allocating the allowance ln British Columbia will be taktn up when the provincial cabinet meets next week, Prenjipr Pattullo said at Victoria. In Vancouver Mayor G. G. McGeer, one of the leaders In the Canadian mayors' "relief-from-rellef" cam-. paign, expreued belief that the raised grants are preliminary to a comprehensive "recovery drive."
