Rumors Denied on Sir James Craig Resigning
A rumor that Sir James Craig would resign as premier of Northern Ireland is officially denied. The Bank of England bought gold and received funds from Holland and Africa, while May accidents in Canada left dozens dead or injured. The Panama Canal posted a large fiscal profit, floods displaced hundreds of thousands in Galicia, and aviation fatality occurred in Mineola. King George hosted Paderewski and awarded a British Empire knighthood. Soviet Polish tensions drew a protest from Russia. A former Egyptian campaign veteran, Sir Robert Whigman, was named colonel of the Royal Warwickshire regiment.
