What to Do With Cover
nor General of Canada
a Pressing Question

MILL the Governor General of
w Canada and Viscountess Will
lingdon be guests at the diplomatic
reception at the White House next
week?
This intriguing question is still
unanswered, although officials of
the State Department. and the
White House, whose duty it is to
iron out such situations. are null
ing over precedents.
Yesterday a White House at
tache was quite certain that the
distinguished visitors would not
attend. State Department official
was quite certain that they would
and Canadian legation secretary
could say neither yes nor no.
: Today they seem to have come
together on decision not to decide
until the governor general arrives
in town and can be consulted as
to his wishes. At all events the
invitation to attend the function
has not yet been extended.

problem would have arisen. They
would be invited to the reception,
could attend with their hosts-and
that would be that. But the ruler
of friendly power must be
treated more tremendously and
the question before the court of
social appeal is What would be
his place in a function given espe-
cially for the Diplomatic Corps?"
Should the governor general lead
the long line of diplomats with the
British ambassador, who is dean
of the corps? Should he and Wis
countess Willingdon be received
first? Or should they come along
with the Minister of Canada and
Mrs. Massey, who are far down in
the line of ministers? That GER
tainly would never do.

ton at the time of an Army.NaHy
reception at the White House.
The present problem is compli-
Gated by the fact that both the
British Ambassador and Lady
Isabella Howard and the Canadian
Minister and Mrs. Massey must
attend the diplomatic reception,
which would leave the distinguished
visitors officially by themselves.
If the Governor General and
Viscountess wilmington do decide
to go to the reception, 1t Is prob
able that they will not take their
place officially ''in the line" but
will be slipped at once into the
Blue Room. where little groups of
notables always assemble. and will
be greeted there by their hosts
before the receiving line forms.
