WASHINGTON, Nov. 2y-The full honors due 8 ruling sovereign will be accorded to governor. general of Canada for the frs time when viscount and Viscoun tess Wilmington visit i,1 Washing ton December and z
 Since the reorganization of the British Commonwealth" making entities of Imperial Dominion- the Canadian governor-generol ranks officially with the presi- dent of republic. and official Washington is preparing to fol low out the prescribed traditions surrounding the visit of one hold, ing that rank.
 President Coolidge will cross the threshold of the Canadian le- gation for the first time during Viscount Willingdon's visit, as Il is not customary for the chief executive to enter foreign diplo matic premises as caller upon ministers or ambassadors. Wis. count Willingdon will be the host at the legation on Massachusetts avenue, as his rank and right en- title him. instead of being the guest of the Hon. Vincent Mas sey. the Canadian Minister.
 Tentative arrangements pro vide for a state dinner for Presi- dent and Mrs. Coolidge at t>e ic- gation, and it is probable that the White House may be the scene of a brilliant party in the gover. nor-generaps honor.
 Canadians here point out that the formalities will emphasize the new "nationhood" of Canada and it's diplomatic independence as ex- 'emplified by the establishment of a Canadian Legation here in Feb ruary. 1927.
 The visit pf the goyerHor-gen. eral. it is pointed out. has no DO. litical or state significance. being merely a formality required by tradition when personages of the rank of sovereigns visit other countries. The viscount and Wis. countess plan visits in New York and Boston before returning to Canada.

that it would surpass the geodZic
