Canadian Party Vote!
Today on Successor
To Mackenzie King
BY ,he Assoeiated Press

OTTAWA, Ontario. Aug. Cana
das Liberal Party today selects 4
new leader who will become the
dominion's next Prime Minister.
Prime Minister w. L. Mackenzie
King told the convention last night
that he was delivering his valedic-
tory as party leader and as Prime
Minister. He has headed the gov-
ernment for a total of 81 years. He
said fatty that he cannot be
drafted.
The party last night wrote into
its platform a proposal for North
Atlantic security alliance and aboli-
ton of appeals to the Privy Council.
The security-agreement plank fol-
lowed the same line as current gov
ernment policy. but was regarded
by observers as tending to sharpen
government action, which 50 far has
been awaiting move by the United
States. Abolition OF Privy Council
appeals would make the Canadian
Supreme Court the final court Of
appeal instead Of Britain's Privy
Council.
Mr.. Mackenzie King told the con-
vention that when he, turns over
his leadership to his successor, he
hopes to continue to have a hand
in Canadian affairs.
Il hope there may still be before
me some years service to our coun-
try and to the liberal cause" he said.
When I cease to be commander in
chief Of the Liberal Party, I shall
be happy to find a place in its
ranks"
Most likely choice for the post
appears to be Louis Stephen St.
Laurent, French Canadian Minister
of External Affairs. His strongest
contender is the Western born
Scottish descended Minister of Agri-
culture, James Garfield Gardiner.
In Canada the prime ministership
goes automatically to the leader of
the party with the most seats in the
House OF Commons, in this case the
Liberals.
