Exter- nal Affairs Minister Pearson ad- mitted it was a "warm" incident but added that he had not damaged long-time relations. This was ech- oed by State Secretary John Foster Dulles of the United States. SIDED WITH BRITAIN The other conflict involved In- dia's proposed participation in the Korean political conference. Can- ada sided with Britain in support- ing Indian membership, thus di- rectly opposing the United States. Mr. Pearson said after this open conflict in the United Nations that he regretted the incident had come into the open. The argument might have been resolved or at least kept confidential with some behind-the- scenes diplomacy. The tug-of-war over Igor Gou- zenko arose from a Chicago news- aper report quoting the former i Ty code clerk here as saying he might be able to supply the U.S. Senate internal security sub- advice on spy-catching.

PATRICK JAMES MEAGHER PETERBOROUGH -- The death {occurred December 24 of Patrick James Meagher at his home. 756 Herman St., after an illness of about one year. Mr. Meagher was born 77-years ago. Son of the late William Meagher and Mary Sawey, Mr. Meagher was born in Lindsay but has lived for the past 40 years in Peter- borough and district. Previous to that he resided for some time in Bancroft. There survive his wife, formerly Ethel Coneybeare, three daughters Loretta at home, Rita of Port Hope and Mrs. Fred Ayres (Mary), of Peterborough; and six sons, Fer- us, Joseph anad Bernard of Peter- rough; Cyril of Petawawa Camp, Leo of Oshawa and Philip of Keene; one sister, Mrs. F.

Burial was in St. Peter's Cemetery, MICHAEL EVERARD MURPHY The death occurred unexpectedly at the family residence, 100 Glad- stone Avenue, this morning of Michael Everard Murphy in his 60th year. While not in good health for some time, Mr. Murphy was apparently in good' health yester- day. orn at Marmora, Ontario, on May 4, 1894, the deceased was a son of the late Mr. and Mrs. James Murphy. Married in Toronto on December 27, 1947, he had lived in Oshawa for about 25 years. employee of General Motors for 22 years, Mr. Murphy was an employee of the inspection depart- ment at the time of his death. He was a member of St. Gregory's Roman Catholic Church. A veteran of World War I, he served with the Royal Canadian Dragoons and at one time took part in the musical ride resented by the regiment at the Canadian Na- tional Exhibition. He leaves to mourn his passing his wife, the former Mabel Jessie Sargeson and three brothers, Leo of Calgary, Arthur of Vancouver and Charles of Toronto.

Interment will be in St ory's Cemetery. Two Squabbles With USS. '% Marred Year's. Policy like to question Gouzenko and sent a request to Canada through Mr. Dulles. This was turned down. The RCMP quoted Gouzenko as saying he had no new information. The government reiterated that all Gouzenko information obtained in 1946 and in subsequent interviews | had been passed on to the "com- petent" the FBI But Canada agreed to the ques- tioning after the second U.S. re- quest. However, it added two stip- ulations: The meeting must held in secret in Canada and Can- ada must approve any testimony made public. These had been the between Gouzenko and another U.S. Senate sub-committee, which had turned up no new information. GOVERNMENT'S VIEW The government made it clear it thinks any sub-committee meet- ing with Gouzenko would be fruit- less and that it still believes such information should continue to be exchanged between Canada and the United States through the '"'proper'"' channels. The sub-committee balked at the stipulation that any Gouzenko tes- timony would have to be kept secret unless Canada agreed other- wise. It asked Mr. Dulles to con- tinue negotiations with Canada. But Mr. Dulles declined. The sub- committee then agreed to obtain the testimony under Canadian con- ditions. The external affairs department had to grapple with many more serious matters, most them arising out of the East-West cold One of these was the proposed Korean political conference and the prisoner-of-war issue, both stemming from the July 27 armis- tice in Korea. The three-year Kor- ean war cost Canada more than 1,500 casualties and $200,000,000 spent outside Canada. This country fulfilled all its com- mitments to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization on or before target dates. The 1st Canadian In- fantry Brigade replaced the 27th Brigade in Germany, the RCAF division was completed in E and the navy participated in * eration Mariner." AID FOR ASIA Asian problems loomed large in the work of the external airs department. Canada promised con- tinued aid for the Colombo Plan and UN technical assistance, both designed to aid capital develop- ment in south and southeast Asia. Canada has already put $75,000,000 into the Colombo i Increased emphasis on this sub- ject was pointed up by Prime Minister St. Laurent's announce- ment of his world tour starting in February, during which he will visit Asian countries. There were several distinguished U.S. authorities, meaning | visitors to Ottawa during the year. President Eisenhower stressed in a speech to Parliament the solidar- ity between the two countries. He also emphasized that Canada and the United States will continue to work together on continental de- fence. Just before the presidential visit, Canada and the United States an- nounced formation of a joint eco- nomic and trade commission. This came after several Canadian pro- tests to Washington about U.S. re- striction on imports of Canadian goods. Other visitors to Canada included Chancellor Konrad Adenauer of Germany, Madame Pandit of In- dia, the then premier Rene Mayer of France and his foreign minister, Georges Bidault, Prime Minister Menzies of Australia, Prime Minis- ter Holland of New Zealand, and Crown Prince Akihito of Japan. There was a mass visit by Cana- dians to Britain in May and June for the Coronation. Mr. St. Laur- 34 ent attended and ri d later for the talks held by Common- wealth prime ministers.

But they faced the new year worried about for- eign trade. . ndustrial production reached record peaks in West Germany and Italy. Farm yields were good ex- cept in drought - stricken Spain. Stock markets reflected confi dence. West Europeans bought more food and consumer goods. Despite bigger business volumes, inflation was held in check. . The economic clouds that hung over western Europe were mainly due to the sluggish and lopsided movement of international trade on /the Continent and the seem- ingly chronic shortage of dollars. +Most governments tended to take off controls and encourage freer enterprise. A notable excep- tion was Norway where socialists pushed through a permanent price control law, Associated Press correspondents reported general optimism that in- ternal business will prove as healthy in 1954. However, western Europe war- iy eyed the United States, fearful anything that might cut earn- ings in American markets, West- ern Europe still cannot pay its way in world trade. Many coun- tries need dollar aid to oarry ' short their heavy defence burdens, com- lete reconstruction, buy goods rom North America and adjust their trade balance. WEST GERMANS PROSPER A recent spate of small Russian orders, evidently to improve home- front living standards, attracted considerable interest in western Europe. But the small number of contracts allowed to dribble through the Iron Curtain failed to convince western statesmen that the Kremlin was ready to unlock any kind of a big consumer goods market. Booming West Germany made the year's biggest business news. Industrial output was up and bus- iness expanded steadily in all cat- egories. Aggressive West German exporters outpaced Britain in South America and cut deep into her traditional India and Middle East markets. Living costs went down and industrial workers' income rose. The French economic picture was not especially bright. In- dustrial production sli slightly but stayed at a high level. Farm output was good to excellent. The volume of business apparently in- creased. Although wage levels and con- sumer' price indices remained fairly steady, workers grumbled because of considerable Janiial or unemployment slight increases in the prices of food which takes 70 per cent of the little man's budget. The foreign trade position remained precar- ious. Italy boasted an expanding in- ternal economy with record high agricultural and industrial produc- tion. However, the chronic unem- Ploymont problem worsened. In une, the official figure was 2,182,- 000, uw 100,000 over June 1951. NORWAY UNEASY In Scandinavia, Sweden enjoyed a steady boom with stable price and wage levels and an.improved international trade balance. In Norway, industrial production in- creased, people had more money to spend .and business sales ex- panded. But the country was un- easy because of her steadily "de- teriorating trade balance. Austria had a good year at home and abroad. Foreign exchange re- serves climbed. Spain's econo! largely marked time through 1 hoping that the arrival of U.S. dollar aid next ear will give the country a shot n_ the arm. Prosperous Belgium had another ood year. Despite the February ood disaster, The Netherlands fared well in both its national economy and in world markets. Dollar reserves improved suffici- ently to allow the government to promise an easin, restrictions on imports from North America. the United States on special in-| starting at the West system that can be installed econo- mically in terms of money, ma- terials and manpower, and all com- ponent parts can be manufactured in Canada" the review said. '"'De- velopment work and further trials are proceeding." The project was developed by DRB with the assistance of the Eaton electronics research labor- atory of McGill University, Mont- real, and the national research council. Experimental equipment was manufactured by the RCA Victor Co., Montreal, which also supplied installations to the United States for additional tests. OTHER ACHIEVEMENTS Other major accomplishments by the board in 1953 include: 1. Firing of a working model of Canada's air-to-air guided missile. |for northern operations which "ill not cloud over in extreme cold. 3. Deveolpment of a self-pro- pelled diving bell for under-water operations. The air-to-air guided missile is being developed by the board for the RCAF. The missile 'received its first tests in the summer. Dr. 0. M. Solandt, chairman of the board, said details of the fir- ing are secret. However, he said the tests were conducted near Win- .» 35 miles southeast Dr. Solandt said the pro ect pro- gresses in stages, tri ollowing the completion of each stage. As the missile had not been perfected, further could be expected. BETTER GAS MASK : Development of the new-type gas mask for the northland was car- ried out in conjunction with re- search on protective clothing and Squipment for the armed services. The respirator received major at- tention during the year because of the necessity of increased comfort, reduced weight and better vision for men on northern operations. The new respirator prevents misting of eye-pieces during in- tense cold. The breath inside the mask is turned into water before it can cloud the eye-piece and is discharged by a special valve.

TWO NEW LABS The review said the board's con- struction program neared comple- tion during the year. New labora- tories were opened at Shirley Bay, 10 miles west of Ottawa, and at Kingston. So was a new wing at the Churchill, Man., laboratory. Current studies at Churchill in- clude the design of special north- ern military equipment, studies of loads that can be carried by troops, and testing of equipment for sur- vival operations. During the year, scientists dis- covered relics of previous Arctic expeditions at the tip of Ellesmere island, most northerly land mass in North America. The relics were left in 1906 by U. S. explorer Ad- Jairal Ri Eo ig BY Ayr 78 by avy e n coms Be by Capt. Sir George Nares in 1920 Hansen. Steps were taken during the year to provide for long-term co-ordin- ation of DRB projects. Dr. Fred- erick H. Sanders, superintendent of the Pacific naval laboratory, Esquimalt, B. C., was placed in charge of the work. | In 1953 the board provided about 1$1,000,000 to 21 universities and colleges in aid of fundamental re- search, The grants are designed to aid specific research projects and to help overcome the shortage of experienced scientists. for and Danish explorer OTTAWA (CP--France's finan- cial weakness is seen by Canadian trade experts as a hindrance to the removal of trade barriers. They feel that this weakness may delay a return to converti- bility, free exchange of currencies, between dollar and sterling-area countries. Continental Europe is growing in economic strength, the trade de- |partment said recently in its weekly publication Foreign Trade. But some individual countries are still weak. France is among them. "Currency convertibility is gain- ing proponents in Europe, bringing nearer the day when discriminat- ing exchange regulations, as a barrier to trade, may disappear," the department said. However, "the inability of france to overcome domestic financial in- stability and increase her rate of exports is the main hindrance to Trade With France Worries Canada more unhampered trade with Eur- | wi ope. "A dash to exchange freedom without the franc is not practic- able." Thus dreams of free currency exchange may remain dreams for | some time to come. RESTRICTIONS EASED "But in the meantime trade lib- eralization is gaining ground and various European countries have relaxed restrictions on dollar im- ports." Meanwhile, a report from Wash- ington said there are strong signs the United States administration is urging some major European coun- tries to accept free convertibility of their currencies. The report said U.S. Jogernment s financial leaders feel this could be done | without any big financial assist- ance from the U.S. It is unfortunately impossible, writes Desmond E. Henn in The | Spectator, to embark on a discus- |sion on how the English-speaking | Britishers (an offensive term pres- ently in vogue, but one apparently devoid of derogatory overtones) transplanted to Canada since the war have reacted to their new en- vironment and on the extent to which whatever hopes they origin- ally cherished have been eithr fulfilled or disappointed, without first making a definitely invidious distinction between the Workng Classes and the Others--or, better still, between those who earn wages and those who receive sal- aries. For though in Canada th divid- ing-line is more an economic tech- nicality than a social Iron Curtain fortified by differences in accent, education and dress, yet the diver- gent attitudes of mind brought ov- er from the Old Country are pre- |served with such devoted tenacity as to impose a psychological di- chotomy which cannot be ignored. OFFERS EXAMPLES Consider, for example, the case of M. X, whom we will assume to be a carpenter, a welder, an elec- trician or the fortunate possessor of some other skill regarded with comparable favor by modern civil- ization. Finding the restrictions of ostwar England little to his taste, e crossed the Atlantic in the hope of obtaining a larger share of life's amenities than he could reason- ably aspire to at home. The trans- fer completed, he probably found little or no difficulty in securing a job at which he could earn be- tween two and four times his pre- vious wage; housing may have pre- sented some initial difficulty, but a car, a washing machine an various other conveniences ejus- dem generis were achieved in short order, together with the possibility that they would all eventually be paid for. The Missus -- that shadowy ci- pher with her depressingly pre- dictable tastes -- was ecstatic. On the material plane neither of them had any grievances that in their former habitat would have been worthy of the name. Nevertheless, they were both un- happy. Whatever their natural tal- ents for empire-building, the Brit- ish are insufficiently adaptable to make good emigrants and, though the political refugee may be oblig- ed to accept matters as he finds them, those whose exile is self- imposed consider themselves en- titled, simply by virtue of hav- ing exercised an independent choice in the matter, to comment freely on any aspects of the coun- try 'on which their presence has been thus generous f which do not meet with their full approval. Canadians, not unnatur- ally, are inclined to resent these unhibited expressions of opinion, the mere so since they are acutely aware that the Dominion is still very much in its formative stages, a nation in posse rather than in esse, Moreover, immigrants as a species are no more popular in anada than they are elsewhere. FEEL ISOLATED Taken together, these factors bring home to the X's a feeling of social isolation, a suspicion that they are really out of place, and a presentiment that rhaps they may have made a Dreadful Mis- take. Stifled in summer and numb in winter, they reverently treasure fugitive copies of the Sunday Pic- torial and contemplate the pros- pect of 'Home thriugh spectacles tinted so deep 3. shade of rose as to become ally opaque. They conferred | British Emigrants Experience Difficulty Orienting Themselves save their pennies and at last, | after anywhere from two to five | years, establish furtive contact |with 'a travel agency. | The visit home is an unmitigat- led disaster. The primitive squalor of life in England comes as a nasty shock, and their former friends, still car and fridge-less and with only the exiguous shelter of a council house--lacking not only a furnace but even a basement to put it in -- to ward off the ele- mests, are objects of shudderin pity:wattle huts, they feel, coul hardly be worse. Their stay in England is. cut short, and the X's, feverishly counting their blessings and uttering little cries of relief, scamper back to Canada. The case of Y provides some- |thing of a contrast. Parents of the | best type available, public school education and perhaps a university degree (Arts, of course) have led but to a stockbroker's office or to one of the smaller publishers or the marketing department of a soap company or a tobacco firm, or even to a precarious toehold on the slipper crags of Broadcasting House--the exact site of his occu- pational cul-de-sac is not import- ant. Y examines his prospects, finds them unpleasing and decides to take ship for Canada (alone; Amanda and the children will fol- low when daddy has dug himself in). Arrived, he makes known his availability and awaits the rush. Instead there is an ugly silence.
