Melville's population of 4000 was swollen to 50,000, including Germans, Poles and Ukrainians, who, with other foreign residents in one of Canada's most mixed regions, joined the British and the Canadians in giving over-powering demonstrations of loyalty when Their Majesties mounted a flood-lit platform for the official reception.

Meanwhile. leaders of moderate Arab groups made representations to the authorities today, severely con-dernning the acts of violence committed by Jewish extremists and demanding strict measures of repres-Sion.—Havas.
