When President Roosevelt and Cana
dian Prime Minister Mackenzie King
stretch their legs under the White House
mahogany this week two Harvard old
grads will get together. Their confabu-
lation on Dominion-American trade and
tariff matters is sure to be OF chummy
character on that account. The head
of the new Liberal government at Otta-
wa is thoroughly American-ed
After taking his degree in arts and law
at the University of Toronto he pur-
sued a post st-graduate course as fellow
in political economy at the University
of Chicago. Later he was fellow in polit-
ical science at Harvard. won there trav-
cling fellowship abroad and wound up as
an AM. of Harvard in 1898 and Phi. D.
in 1909. Because of Mackenzie Kings
outstanding intellectual attainmentS he
was once offered place on the Harvard
faculty. but decided to devote himself to
Canadian politics, in which he has been
uninterruptedly active for the past 26
years. including two previous terms as
prime minister. He will be 81 years old
in December.
No matter what the New Deal. the
Supreme Court or the American people
do to the Constitution of the United
States, magnificent repository for the
original of that immortal document
awaits it in the massive new National
Archives Building at Constitution and
Pennsylvania avenues. There. in the I'M
preSSive, high-domed exhibition hall on
the Constitution avenue side, a stately
shrine of bronze and glass is ready to
hold both the Constitution and Declara-
ton of Independence, which are now in
keeping of the Library of Congress. The
hall was specially designed to become
tho permanent resting place OF Amerl-
cas- two most precious state papers. The
shrine is to be f1anked by huge mural
paintings depicting the Constitutional
Convention and the signing of the Dec
laration. They will be the work OF
artist Barry Faulkner. The Archives
structure, destined to be one OF the Ma
tional Capitals meccas for visitors,
especially students in historical research,
is ready for occupancy, but will not actu-
ally come into possession of the docu-
mentary treasures eventually to be kept
there until later in the year. These are
now scattered over some $50 different
spots throughout Washington. ArchlVlst
R. D. w. Connor plans to hold approprl-
ate dedicatory ceremonies early IN 1886.
An up-to-date touch in the Archves
temple is model motion picture theater
for display of American historical f1lmS,
to the collection and storage OF which
special attention will be paid.
