Fawcett G . Taylor Fawcett Gowler Taylor ( April 29 , 1878 – January 1 , 1940 , ) was a Manitoba politician , and was the leader of that province ' s Conservative Party from 1922 to 1933 . Taylor was born in Meadow Lea , Manitoba , the son of William Taylor and Marietta Jane Plummer , and was educated in Winnipeg . He was called to the Manitoba bar in 1900 and worked as a barrister . He served as mayor of Portage La Prairie from 1912 to 1915 . Taylor married Mabel Agnes Dykeman in 1901 . He was named King ' s Counsel in 1913 . In the provincial election of 1915 , he ran as a Conservative candidate in the Portage la Prairie constituency and was defeated . Taylor resigned as mayor later in 1915 to enlist for service in the First World War . Already a captain in the 99th Manitoba Rangers , he was quickly promoted to Major and served in France with the 1st Canadian Mounted Rifles from 1916 to 1918 . On returning , he became President of the Army and Navy Veterans in Canada ( Dominion Association ) . Taylor sought the leadership of provincial Conservatives in 1919 , but was defeated by Richard G . Willis . He was elected for Portage La Prairie in the provincial election of 1920 , and was chosen as party leader in a second attempt on April 5 , 1922 , defeating John Thomas Haig . The Manitoba Conservatives had governed the province from 1900 to 1915 , but were in a weak position when Taylor became the party ' s leader . The scandals of the Roblin government had led to a catastrophic defeat in 1915 , with the Conservatives winning only won five of 47 seats . They increased their total to seven in 1920 , but were in danger of becoming marginalized by the rise of the United Farmers of Manitoba and Labour . Taylor ' s first campaign as party leader was not particularly successful . The UFM swept the countryside in the 1922 campaign , with Labour and the Liberals dominating Winnipeg . Taylor faced a strong challenge from Liberal cabinet minister Charles Duncan McPherson in Portage La Prairie , winning by only 131 votes out of 2743 cast . Subsequently , Taylor brought the party back to a more viable position . By now a Lieutenant Colonel , Taylor brought the Conservatives back to 15 seats and official opposition status in the election of 1927 . Leading up to the 1932 election , his party was regarded as having a real chance to form government . This did not occur , however . The federal Liberals were concerned about a Conservative victory in the province , and convinced their provincial affiliate to form an alliance with the governing Progressives ( as the UFM government had renamed itself ) . The combined resources of these parties weakened the Conservative position . Taylor was also damaged by the unpopularity of Conservative Prime Minister Richard Bennett . Taylor ' s own plan to redistribute land to the poor was criticized by many as ineffective . The Conservatives won only 10 seats in the 1932 election . Taylor resigned the party leadership in April 1933 , after being appointed a judge in the Manitoba Court of King ' s Bench . He died at home in Winnipeg and was buried in Portage La Prairie .

Balkan Pact The Balkan Pact was a treaty signed by Greece , Turkey , Romania and Yugoslavia — the Balkan Entente — on February 9 , 1934 in Athens , aimed at maintaining the geopolitical status quo in the region following World War I . The signatories agreed to suspend all disputed territorial claims against each other and their immediate neighbors following the aftermath of the war and a rise in various regional ethnic minority tensions . Other nations in the region that had been involved in related diplomacy refused to sign the document , including Italy , Albania , Bulgaria , Hungary , and the Soviet Union . Nonsignatories were mostly those governments with territorial expansion in mind . The pact became effective on the day it was signed . It was registered in League of Nations Treaty Series on October 1 , 1934 . The Balkan Pact helped to ensure peace between Turkey and the independent countries in southeastern Europe that had been part of the Ottoman Empire , most importantly Greece , but failed to stem regional intrigue . The countries of the pact surrounded Bulgaria , but on 31 July 1938 they signed an agreement with her in Salonika , repealing those clauses of the Treaty of Neuilly and Treaty of Lausanne that mandated demilitarised zones on the Greco - Bulgarian and - Turkish borders , and allowing Bulgaria to re - arm herself . From its strengthened position , Bulgaria would occupy parts of Yugoslavia and Greece during the Second World War .

Convention of Tauroggen The Convention of Tauroggen was a truce signed 30 December 1812 at Tauroggen ( now Tauragė , Lithuania ) , between General ( " Generalleutnant " ) Ludwig Yorck von Wartenburg on behalf of his Prussian troops , and by General Hans Karl von Diebitsch of the Russian Army . Yorck ' s act is considered a turning point of Prussian history , triggering an insurgency against Napoleon in the Rheinbund . According to the Treaty of Tilsit , Prussia had to support Napoleon ' s invasion of Russia . This resulted in some Prussians leaving their army to avoid serving the French , among them Carl von Clausewitz , who joined Russian service . When Yorck ' s immediate French superior Marshal MacDonald , retreated before the corps of Diebitsch , Yorck found himself isolated . As a soldier his duty was to break through , but as a Prussian patriot his position was more difficult . He had to judge whether the moment was favorable for starting a war of liberation ; and , whatever might be the enthusiasm of his junior staff - officers , Yorck had no illusions as to the safety of his own head , and negotiated with Clausewitz . The Convention of Tauroggen armistice , signed by Diebitsch and Yorck , " neutralized " the Prussian corps without consent of their king . The news was received with the wildest enthusiasm in Prussia , but the Prussian Court dared not yet throw off the mask , and an order was despatched suspending Yorck from his command pending a court - martial . Diebitsch refused to let the bearer pass through his lines , and the general was finally absolved when the Treaty of Kalisch definitely ranged Prussia on the side of the Allies . Trivia . The Convention of Tauroggen is also mentioned in C . S . Forester ' s " The Commodore " , in which the hero Horatio Hornblower supports the Russians and helps to stage a meeting between the leaders .

Mong Tai Army The Mong Tai Army ( also , Muang Tai Army , MTA ) is a former resistance force of the Shan minority in Burma , founded by Khun Sa . It had up to 20 000 armed members and was one of the forces opposing the central government . It was also involved in drug trafficking . History . The Muang Tai army was formed in 1985 , through the merger of two nationalist paramilitary groups , SUA ( Shan United Army ) and the Moh Heng - faction of SURA Shan United Revolutionary Army . Both these groups , while nominally fighting for the independence of Shan from Burma , were also functioning as private armies of two warlords ( Khun Sa and Moh Heng , respectively ) , both heavily involved in the drug trade . On 7 July 1995 a rebellion broke out in the Muang Tai Army , and 8 , 000 fighters under the command of Colonel Yod Kan and Dae Wain retreated into the village Hsipaw , where they built a new base . They called themselves the Shan State National Army , and the group intended to negotiate a ceasefire with the Myanmar military government . Khun Sa claimed that the source of the problems were that the soldiers did not wish to fight under a half Chinese leader . The rebels claimed that the drug profits go only to Khun Sa and the civilians suffered in the fight against the Myanmar military regime . The Mung Tai Army never recovered from this rebellion . Ultimately the conflicts fought by the Muang Tai Army claimed thousands of lives . But eventually in 1996 Khun Sa and his army surrendered to the Burmese army . Most of the MTA laid down their arms but around 3 , 000 formed the Shan United Revolutionary Army in the southwest region of Burma . According to the State Peace and Development Council , the terms of the surrender stipulated that in return for ending his insurgency and surrendering his weaponry , Khun Sa would be allowed to live under close government supervision in Rangoon , where he could engage indirectly , via third - party investors , in legitimate business — but not drug trafficking — and would not be prosecuted for his trafficking activities or extradited to the US . Khun Sa was not only pardoned by the Government of Myanmar but received the title " honoured elder " and was allowed to live out the remained of his life in Yangoon where he died in 2007 . Drugs . Khun Sa has frequently claimed that the Muang Tai Army was not about the drug business , actually being opposed to the opium crop . Khun Sa once offered to sell the entire opium crop to the U . S . government , but the US refused this offer . In 1989 , Khun Sa was charged by a New York court for trying to import 1 , 000 tons of heroin . His drug trafficking resulted in the US DEA offering a $ 2 , 000 , 000 bounty for his arrest .

Civilian Repair Organisation The Civilian Repair Organisation ( CRO ) was a branch of the British Air Ministry ( later , of the Ministry of Aircraft Production ) , formed in 1939 to co - ordinate maintenance and repairs of military aircraft by civilian firms . It should not be confused with the Civil Repair Organisation , which carried out similar functions for the UK Air Ministry in India between 1943 and 1945 . Background . Following the outbreak of World War II , on 11 September 1939 the No . 1 Civilian Repair Unit ( CRU ) was established at the Cowley works of Morris Motors , to be staffed by civilians under the management of the Air Ministry . On 6 October 1939 , Sir Kingsley Wood ( Secretary of State for Air ) officially appointed William Morris ( Lord Nuffield ) as Director General ( Maintenance ) , to organise and manage the Civilian Repair Organisation ( CRO ) , to control the CRU and participating civilian firms . Nuffield , as the head of Morris Motors , had been in charge of the shadow factory for aircraft production at Castle Bromwich . CRO administration was established at Magdalen College , Oxford . On 14 May 1940 , supervision of the CRO was transferred from the Air Ministry to the Ministry of Aircraft Production , under Lord Beaverbrook . The No . 1 CRU was supplemented by the No . 1 Metal and Produce Recovery Depot ( MPRD ) , established adjacent to the existing Cowley works . At Cowley , a support unit was established in the form of No . 50 Maintenance Unit ( MU ) , to transport damaged aircraft and parts to the CRU and to firms participating in the CRO , and also to collect non - repairable parts and scrap for materials reclamation at MPRD . Individual Maintenance Units came under the control of No . 43 Group , RAF Maintenance Command . The civilian firms under individual contracts from the CRO were mostly existing companies engaged in the production , maintenance , repair and operation of aircraft in the UK . Those were supplemented by additional companies in the engineering and woodworking industrial sectors . Repairs to whole aircraft or parts of aircraft were often carried out in dispersed industrial factories , then transported to airfields for re - assembly and test flying , before re - delivery to RAF units . For cases of minor repairs that could be achieved quickly , aircraft could be flown to a CRO firm based at an airfield , repaired , and flown out the following day by the same pilot ; these were known as " Fly In " repairs . List of firms participating in the CRO . Principal ref : Sturtivant 2007 Summary of operations . In the period May 1940 to July 1945 , CRO had returned a total of 79 , 000 aircraft to the flight line . At that point , of all the heavy aircraft then flying in the RAF , 36 . 5 % ( 3 , 285 ) had been processed through CRO . Activities continued for several years after the end of World War II .
