SENATOR THOMAS REDUCING

Senator L. R. Thomas decided
last winter that he was getting too
heavy, and he took to eating less
for the purpose Of reducing, and I'D
to the last of April had lost "a
pounds, and was feeling fine, tho his
friends tell him 1t makes him ex-
hibit some wrinkles. His clothes no
longer fitted him, so he came out
last week with a reduced suit, collar
and everything to fit the man. We
are telling you all this so you will
not need to stop him and ask him IL
he has had the flu or something.
Since the mater of eating less has
been 80 effective with Senator
Thomas, we want to express the hope
that he will not carry it SO far as
did the young lady spoken of in
the ditty:
There was a young lady named
Ninnah,
Who thought she would like to grow
thinnah,
So she took the bunch, and went
without lunch
And likewise her breakfast and
dinnah.

BY JOHN ROBUR

OTTAWA, Can.-Canada has off
clally recognized the Union Of Soviet
Socialist Republics. The formal an
nouncement of recognition of Russia
was made in a letter from Premier
King. to Alex Yasikov, head of the
Russian trade delegation now in Can
ada.
The recognition was announced bv
publication of the correspondence on
the subject between Yasikov and the
Canadian prime Minister.
YasikOv had asked the premier to
inform him whether the de lure
recognition of the Union of Soviet
Socialist Republics proclaimed bv his
Brltannlc majesty's government on

hends recognition by Canada"
i have the honor" Premier King
answered, "in the best interests of
both countries to represent that Can
ada is prepared to recognize the
Union of Soviet Republics"
1t is noticeable that the repIv of
the Canadian prime minister avoids
the question whether recognition by
ms Brltannic majesty" involved rec
ognltlon by Canada. This is Just one
illustration cf the unsettled state of
constitutional relations between Cana
da and he United Kingdom. Prac-
tlcally Canada runs her own show.
externally as well as internally, but
there are a good many of the old
notions OF the constitution that have
net yet been changed to meet the
new conditions.
The most important bearings of
the formal recognition of Russia bv
Canada are likely to be its effect on
the United States and on easier cred
ITS for the soviet trade mission. Can
5adlan fnanciers are understood to
have been hanging back, waiting to
see what the government would do.
