RE-ELECTION uF MR MEIGHEN. Mr Arthur Meighen, formerly Prime Minister of Canada, who was defeated at the general! election, was returned to Parliament at the by-election at Grenville, Ontario. His return is a source of satisfaction to Liberals as well as Conservatives, who feel that the House of Commons ought not to be deprived of his experience and acknowledged abilities, wrote the Ottawa correspondent of the London Times. It is understood that he will decline the (leadership of the Conservatvies in the House until he is formally elected to that position, his course being dictated by the movement in a wing of the party which has challenged his position as chief. In the event of his selection as leader, which is practically assured, Mr Meighen is likely to become leader of the official Opposition in the House, Mr Crerar not being desirous of accepting the duties.
