BY FRED PAISLEY

NEW YORK, Nov. g. (C.TP.SO.
The man who battled the British

Beaverbrook, Canadian born
London publisher, that the
Duke of Windsor didn't get to
come over. America would have
enjoyed his visit. He would have
won hosts of friends by his
charming personality"
INTEREST IN HOUSING
While declining to discuss either
Charles E. Bedaux or the labor
factors involved in the abrupt
cancellation of the dukes tour,
Lord Beaverbrook was quick to as.
Sert that the proposed survey of
housing and living conditions gen.
orally was no empty gesture but a
sincere attempt at world study
of the subject.
THE '!uke's inherent SYM

and his genuine concern for their
welfare are both matters of rec
ord" he said, obviously refer
ring to WindSors' many visits to
the slums and the distressed
areas while King. "And," he
added, "he has always been
deeply interested in housing"
SEES NO BIG WAR
Beaverbrook skilfully parted
questions with a score Of reporters
seeking to pin him down on the
international situation.
Asked "Is another World War
brewing in Europe" he said:

III answer mo- again now. There
is not going to be a war. make
