NO DEFINITE TERM
PERIOD OF APPOINTMENT Recd. 7 p.m. Rugby. Nov. 15. Until the present moment it would have been impossible to appoint tne Duke o£ Gloucester because, under the Revncy Act, he being the next person of full age in succession to the throne, he would have had to act as Regent in the event ot the Kr-ig's death. With Princess Elizabeth attaining her majority Hn April, 1944, this difficulty automatically disappears, and with Lord Gowne's term extended there is no occasion for the Duke of Gloucester to leave Britain before the Princess comes of age. It is understood that no dennite term is attached to the Duke of Gloucester's appointment, but it is unlikely that the appointme-.it will extend over a very long period. The Duchess of Gloucester and their son, Prince William, who will be two next month, will accompany the Duke. —8.0.W.
