Britain East Deeply Into Financial Aid the edge of this rate attraction by increasing its own rate. However, central bank au- thorities anticipate there may be some "turn-around" within the next few months, increasing instead of reducing Britain's foreign currency reserves. The 15-per-cent extra import tariff, imposed in October, is expected to bite into the foreign- trade deficit by reducing im- ports while the government's drive to increase exports starts showing results, However, Eu- ropean exporters are still press- ing Britain to reduce and then eliminate this extra tariff and the pressure may increase to a point where British action will prove unavoidable before spring. Some British newspapers are already speculating that the first cut in the tariff will be an- nounced before April. HUGE DEBT An indication of the continu- ing gravity of the British finan- cial structure is reflected by the huge debt Britain has incurred in protecting the pound against further devaluation. Aside from partial drawings of the $3,000,- 000,000 standby credits that must be repaid or renewed shortly, Britain has to build up resources to repay the $1,000,- Attempts To Muzzle Press Fell Into A New Pattern ZURICH (Reuters)--Attempts to restrict or suppress freedom of the press throughout the world fell into a new pattern in 1964, the director of the In- ternational Press Institute re- ports. Per Monsen of Norway was reporting Thursday on the an- nual oly | of press freedom conducted by IPI, the interna- tional organization with about 1,500 member editors and pub- lishers in 48 non-Communist countries, including Canada. Last year, he said, the free press of the world fought a de- fensive, but not entirely unsuc- cessful battle against the intro- duction of statutory press coun- White Ensign Will Drop When New Flag Official HALIFAX (CP) -- Defence; headquarters at Ottawa Friday ordered the navy to pull down the White Ensign when the new Canadian maple leaf flag is pro- claimed for official use in a few weeks and immediately stirred up a heated controversy here at Canada's largest naval base. Navy ships now fly the White Ensign at the stern and, on cer- tain occasions, the Blue Ensign In Ceylon, he said, the press has gained a respite, after 4% years of fighting numerous at- tempts to get newspapers un- der government control. Press freedom will be a central issue in the coming elections. In South Africa, "English- speaking South African newspa- pers are fighting the policies of Prime Minister Verwoerd with great courage, and refuse to he intimidated." In Nigeria, the government may be reluctant to use the powers it gained from the News- paper Act passed during the year, after strong public and political opposition and a vigor- ous fight by the Nigerian press. 'Monsen said the industrialized and developed countries of North America and Western Europe, Japan, Australia and New Zealand have remained bastions of: press freedom. But, he said, all these coun- tries, especially the United States, face a question which had to be answered by the press if free access to news and ac- curate reporting is to be main- tained--what to do about the confusion caused by the mass coverage of important events by newspapers and other mass media. cils and repressive laws to "discipline" newspapers. "Taking alleged misbehavior and irresponsibility of certain sections of the press as a pre- text, governments as far apart politically and geographically as Ceylon, South Africa, Nigeria and South Korea, have used or planned to use this formula to silence criticism and to muzzle freedom of expression," Monsen said. "The press has fought back," he added. In South Korea, Monsen re- ported, 'the vigorous and cour- ageous stand taken by the press, in spite of arrests and intimidations, resulted in the in- definite shelving of the press laws passed by parliament." transactions and a total of £503,000,000 when the export of long-term capital is added.

The United States may have blunted Minister Backs Rid To Africa HAMILTON (CP) -- A New York minister said Thursday the west should increase aid to African nations despite recent mass killings of white persons by Negroes in The Congo. Rey. James Robinson, founder of Operation Crossroads Africa, said it is more important now than ever before that friendship and aid movements such as his own be developed.

' While the treasury has de- -elined to disclose full details, it 'is understood that virtually all -of the $1,000,000,000 medium- 'term loan provided by the In- 'ternational Monetary Fund last month has been used up and 'that Britain has dipped exten- sively into the short - term * $3,000,000,000 raised hurriedly 'from 11 countries, including Canada, in November.

The weather office said 2% Snow, Winds Lash Province only a three-bedroom home in the suburbs, but obviously it makes Leo feel like a king again. A Canadian - born lion- ess is keeping him company, too. Leo is a lion who hasn't had much to roar about the last several years. But Friday he officially occupied new quarters built mainly by donations from thousands of youngsters who raised almost $10,000. Leo, eight years old and American-born, was down on his luck two years ago. Originally destined for a mistake of injuring a trainer. The 300-pound lion was sold to another trainer, who even- tually abandoned Leo at a farm near Phoenix. GIVEN TO ZOO Leo was turned over to the zoo, which took court action to get iegal ownership. The zoo was not in financial shape to build quarters for a lion, however, and was ready to sell him. Newspapers carried the story of Leo's plight and this touched off a campaign among youngsters. A bank account was opened this morning and is expected to cross the lower lakes during the day.

The White En- sign is identical with that flown by ships of the Royal Navy; it bears no distinguishing Cana- dian emblem. The blue and red ensigns carry the Canadian coat of arms in the fly.

"The same objections apply," he said. '"'We wish to be known as sailors." He would not approve adding a Canadian emblem to the White Ensign either.
