MONDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1951 THE DAILY TIMES-GAZETTE PAOE Piva Mee Many More Canadians Visiting B.LF. In 1952 London, Eng, -- On May 5, 1952, the 31st British Industries Fair will open its doors to visitors and buyers from all over the world. This, the sixth fair since the end of World War II, is of special interest to Canadians in view of the announced intention of the BIF authorities to persuade more Canadian businessmen to vi sit what is far and away the largest industrial fair in the world before it closes on May 16. ' proximately 3,000 leading U.K. a will display their products at Earls Court and Oly- mpia in London and at Castle Bromwich near Birmingham. The more than 100 industries repre- sented by these manufacturers will be arranged in 30 groups of allied trades, the heavier groups, includ- ing engineering and hardware, to be exhibited at Birmingham and the lighter industries at London. Here at his great shop window of British industry, only those products that are manufactured in the United Kingdom may be ex- hibited. In that respect it differs from the Canadian International Trade Fair, where exhibitors from many parts of the world display eir products. . The - BIF, of ourse, is several times larger. The only exceptions to the made- in-Britain ruling at the BIF are the representative displays by British Commonwealth govern- ments in the Commonwealth Sec- tion of Earls Court at London. The BIF had its origin in the fall of 1914, when Europe was en- gulfed in World War I. Britain, which had been dependent upon Germany and Austria for some of its. manufactured goods, suddenly found herself cut off from these sources of supply. To encourage the manufacture of these goods within the U.K., the British Board of Trade held a series of small exhibitions throughout the country so that manufacturers could ex- amine the types of foreign articles needed. A feature of the produc- tion that quickly followed was the better quality . of the goods, and this led the British Board of Trade to consider means of not only meeting the home demand, but the demands of other countries as well. The result was the first BIF, held in London's Agricultural Hall in May, 1915. Invitations were sent to more than 10,000 overseas buyers. About 300, representing 23 countries, made the trip to Eng- land to attend the Fair. Other history was in the mak- Ing in those days. A few hours fore the Fair opened, a Zeppelin osed its way towards London and dropped 100 bombs on South- end. The invasion of Gallipoli was front-page news and the great Ypres offensive was opened by the Allies on the Western Front. During the fair itself, the Italian cabinet collapsed, the British cab- inet was reshuffled, the spy, Kuep- ferle, hanged himself in Brixton Jail, and Smith, the notorious 'Brides in the Bath" murderer, was committed for trial. A total of 34,000 visited the Fair, and this, along with the surprising- ly big volume of business com- pleted (one of the first orders was for one-and-one-half million but- tons, placed by a French buyer) ensured that the BIF would con- tinue, although it was not until after the war, in 1920, that the first serious steps were taken to make the fair a permanent feature of the British export trade drive. By 1929, the exhibit space had jumped to more than 500,000 square feet from the less than 90, 000 at the first fair, and the num- ber of exhibitors totalled 2,368 compared to a few hundred in 1 been spotty and that achievements do not make as rosy a picture as some public statements by politi- cal leaders have indicated. Eisenhower is said to indicate that the defence efforts of neither the United States nor its allies has been wholly satisfactory. Appearing before the council with Eisenhower are W. Averell Harri- man, head of the United States mutual security agency; and Gen, Alfred M. Gruenther, Eisenhower's chief of staff. Harriman is said to have assur- ance for the allies of enough U.S. aid to hold up their national living standards during the accelerated defence program. He also wants estimates on what the allies will need, so President Truman can re- port their requirements to congress in January. - Gruenther is on hand to tell just what and how much Eisenhower requires in divisions, guns, tanks, rifles, air fields and aircraft in order to give the west military equality with the soviet union and her satellites. The suggestion for a 25 per cent increase in armament effort came from the North Atlantic treaty or- ganization's streamlined 12 - man temporary consultative committee in a questionnaire asking each na- tion how its economy would be af- fected by such a speed-up. Meyer (Continued from 'Page 1) before joining the Nazi party in 1933: Q. Have you any comment about your imprisonment in Canada or about Canada herself? A. Everybody at Dorchester (the federal penitentiary at Dorchester, N. B.) tried to help me. They were fair, just, but I am pleased to be back among my comrades in a military prison. At Werl there are eight generals. On one side of me is Gen. Kesselring, on the other Gen. Von Manstein, We are study- ing English together. Q. Do you still think Hitler was right? A. The past is dead. His tory is its own answer about that. I live for the future. Q. As a veteran of the Russian, Greek and Western fronts, which allied troops did you find the best? A. New Zealanders, but Cana- dians compare: favorably, I think Canadians have less stamina. I hope there will be no war but I fear there will be and I think all the western powers must prepare their youth. The army is no wel- fare institution. It was a surprise to me to find Canadian youth practically having to be invited to join forces to de- fend their wonderful country. The western powers will not long enjoy their freedom under those circum- stances. They cannot afford to have a soft youth. Q. How did you find Canadian generalship? A. Overly cautious. In Ottawa, there was no com- ment. Last Oct. the day Meyer's de- parture for Germany, the govern- ment announced the transfer would not change his sentence of life im- prisonment.

Bible Society (Continued from Page 3) spirit. The same thing had happen- ed to the socjety's man in Hungary. A former secretary in Bulgaria had been seized along with 20 other pastors, jailed, intimidated and forced to admit he was a spy for the American Bible ,Society with which he had no actual con- nection. His mind had been wreck- ed, and he was merely a tool in the war of ideologies. Our Bible is banned only in Spain. But, curiously enough, not in the USSR. The work of the society is restricted, but not for- bidden outright. In Poland, which is 95 per cent Catholic, there has been the biggest circulation of Bibles in the society's history. These small European congrega- tions and isolated communities in India and Africa were waiting for the Word of God. They have come out of superstition and darkness with the help of Holy Writ, implied Mr. Wilkinson, but it still sur- rounded them like a cloud. It was to succor and sustain them that the British and Foreign Bible Society had its being. NEW EDITIONS NEEDED New translations and new edi- tions are needed all the time to keep this vastly important work going, stated the society's general secretary, who has travelled to many parts of the world in that work during the last twenty-five years. Before that, he was for several years Dean of Arts in the West China Union University in Chengtu, China, and could speak from personal experience of the advances of Christian. education. The Rev. A. H. Wilkinson was introduced last night by the Rev. H. Egerton Young, B.A., secretary of the Upper Canada Bible Society, an affiliate of the parent organiza- tion in London, who himself was a speaker 'at Albert Street and Cen- tye Street United Churches yester- day, which was observed as Bible Sunday in many Oshawa churches. Chairman of the rally was the Rev. John K. Moffat, B.A., presi- dent of the Oshawa Bible Society, who thanked the speaker for his effective message, and after the closing hymn, led the congregation in reciting the 23rd Psalm. Prayer was offered by the Rev. George Telford, M.A., D.D., who also clos- ed the rally with the benediction. Korean Battle (Continued froin Page 1) allied defenders out of three ad- vanced positions.

In 1948, a total of 398 Canadian Falls, John A. Bell, 33, of Tiver- ton, Ont., was killed. Two men were killed by falling tree limbs, Foke Gustafson, 44, of Fort Frances at Sapawe, Ont., and Alex Zeilonka, 31, of Pembroke at Algonquin Park. In Quebec province, three per- sops weer killed in an accident be- tween an automobile and a freight train near Drummondville. Dead are Mrs. Ubald Leclerc, 45, of St. Cyrille de Wendover; her daughter, Berthe, 21, and her son Roger, 15. In a head-on crash between two cars across the river from Mont- real, Miss C. Pinard, 19, of Mont- real was killed. Two cars struc buyers registered at the fair. In [1949 this grew to 424; 1950 to 480; and in 1951 to 546.

A Advance diplomatic agents and enthusiastic salesmen of old firms resuscitated into fresh activity by treaties and pro- tocols with the West German Gov- ernment are stimulating the large resident German colonies into a new awareness of ancestral ties. The Germans here realize, of course, there can be no return to the old-style organizations which sometimes threatened to develop into aggressive movements causing problems for South American gov- ernments. They know that a quiet future lies ahead for them at least. The new cohesive strength is de- rived from pride in reconciliation with and recognition from the na- tional athorities. life where this 1s based on legi- timate trade and investment. This trade now is expanding every month. This year's export and im- port returns of the principal coun- tries, particularly the "ABC group of Argentina, Brazil, and Chile, 'are eloquent testimony to the expansion. CONTRACTS WITH RUHR West Germany has had $200,000,000. worth of interchange so far this year with Argentina. An additional protocol the comm- erical pact has set the target at $308,800,000 for 1952.

But there is a big difference be- tween the new home rule act and the 1922 act it supersedes. The old law made the League of Nations the guarantor of the A- alands' independence. The new law, due to Moscow pressure, makes the islands' future independence rest on the goodwill of Finland alone. Thus, if a Communist govern- ment ever came to power in Fin- land -- which borders on Russia -- the status of the strategic A- alands could be changed. The new "Russian-censored" act of parliament confirms the island- ers' autonomy, their right to their own parliament and their exemp- tion from military service. The old act set up the Leauge of Nations as guarantor because all the great powers believed that these Swedish speaking islands, ly- ing halfway between Stockholm and Finland's southwest tip, should be kept demilitarized. | COULD SEAL BALTIC Any strong naval power occupy- ing them could, they argued, seal the northern half of the Baltic. If the islands were left independent they would threaten no one but just go on with their fishing, farm- ing and shipping. In the new act, the international guarantee paragraph has been re- moved on Russian orders. is expected to be South America's largest steam-operated electric { power plant. This is to be at San| Nicolas, which the Peron govern- ment is attempting to convert into the port centre of a new industrial area 200 miles north of Buenos Aires. The local Germans and German- South Americans, who still are numbered by the scores of thous- ands in the Plate estuary and acros the continental hinterland, find fresh cause for community hope fresh cause for community hope in these figures. They recognize their debt to Anglo-American dip- lomacy but; like their home folks, appreciate they also have much to offer and to bargain with in this era of reconstruction, POLITICAL INFLUENCE So it came about that the Ger- man families in South America are again beginning to get on their? social as well as their commercial feet. They also, no doubt, will re- cuperate some of their old-time political influence--not in the old international sense but as assets to' the new postwar rulers who are trying to strengthen the middle class and stable elements of South American life. Apart from the spasmodic in- flux of refugees and technicians engaged by governments and bus- iness firms, local German families gradually lose contact with the homeland. The Bonn government has an- nounced plans for revived radio and other cultural contacts with these communities, and German language use doubtless will not be to decline. Want to buy, sell or trade? Classified Ad, the deal is made. A The Aalands' independence would yanish overnight if Finland had a ommunist government, most ob- | servers here believe. The Commun- |ist party has consistently attack- |ed the act. The Aalanders, the Communists say, should consider themselves as an integral part of Finland. As Finland is protected by her military assistance treaty with the Soviet Union, the Aalands | would then enjoy the same secur- |ity as the mainland. The Aalanders, as members of their own parliament have hinted, are afraid of being "over-protect- ed."" They want the western powers to have a stake in their independ- ence. For this reason, they asked that the new act name the League of Nations as guarantor. 'We know the League is dead," an Aaland delegation to Helsinki said, 'but it is a better guarantee than nothing. It would give us a strong moral case if we lost our rights. We should prefer to have the United Nations as guarantors, of course, but Finland has not been allowed to join the organiza- tion." RUSSIAN INTERVENTION Finland's Agrarian-led coalition government intended to pre- serve the guarantee paragraph. But suddenly, in the midst of the drafting work, the Russian minister in Helsinki told Finland in dip- lomatic language that Russia would not tolerate it. The Russians based their case on the grounds that the Finno-Russian peace treaty bound Finland to con- sider the League of Nations dead. On the other .hand, the same treaty bound Russia not to interfere in Finland's internal affairs -- an |g, | undertaking which was reiterated Aaland Islands Still Independent -- With Limits in the later military assistance treaty. Finland's government could not tell the Aalanders publicly that they could have mo international guarantee by Russia's orders. Nor could they afford to offend Russia. Finally, the guarantee clause was dropped. The parliament reluctant. ly voted the bill. More Red than the Russians, the | People's Democrats opposed the bill as being "dangerous for Fin- land." They insisted there should be no home rule act at all. Paradoxically, the Aalanders themselves may destroy the act. The Aalands parliament can nei- ther make nor propose alterations in the act. But it can reject it outright. It is, however, confidently believ- ed in Helsinki that the Aalanders will pt the bill b it con- tains a number of advantageous clauses eoncerning taxation, land ownership and protection for their Swedish language and way of liv- g.
