To the Editor of the "Nonrn-CHINA Dany News Sir,—Referring to the Havas message quoted in today's paper re the Governor-Generalship of Canada, the only way the gentleman therein nominated could fill the post is from the celestial heights, the poor man having died in 1938.
The tenth Duke of Devonshire is some 44 years of age and succeeded his father the ninth Duke in May 1938. He has never held the post of Governor General of anything so far.
This merely for the sake of greater accuracy.
