Nations Trade Conference Proposals for international expan- slon of world trade and the eventual establishment of an International Trade Organization will be further discussed at the next meeting in April of the United Nations Confer- ence on Trade and Employment at Geneva. The last meeting of the Conference which was held in Lon- don, England, in November, 1946, marked a new approach to the at- tailnment of the two general ob- Jjectives agreed upon at the Food and Agriculture Conference in Co- penhagen, states Agriculture Abroad, published by the Economics Divi- slon, Dominion Department of Agriculture, Their objectives are the raising o> world nutrition levels together with improving living standards, and the stabilization of agricultural prices at levels fair to consumers and producers, The proposals agreed upon at the London conference went a consid- erable way towards dispelling fear about unemployment and doubts about the balance of payments, Governments will undertake not to spread unemployment by sending abroad less than they receive. Again, the trade organimation will collaborate with the administrators of the International Monetary Fund, who have the means to de- tect dislocation in balance of pay- ments in their early stages. World-wide expansion and stabil- ity of employment would bring about better living standards in general and would result in in- creased demands for food. Ex- pansion in food consumption in turn would stimulate agricultural production, provided that the grow- ers are assured of fair and reason- able stable returns, Full employment and stability in agricultural prices can be achieved by expansion of trade through the removal of trade barriers without destroying economic security: in brief, through a World Trade Char- ter, the formulation of which is based "on a new conception of na- ticnal responsibility in economic matters", That, states Agriculture Abroad, Indicates the scope of the Conference, o Treaty Proposals Moscow, March 19--(CP)--British representatives Sir William Strang suddenly whittled down his previous proposal when the deputy foreign ministers resumed discussions today at the Foreign Ministers Conference on the question of giving middle and emall countries a voice in framing the peace treaty with Germany.

CANCEL BELL EXHIBIT 1st London -- (CP) -- To conserve fuel, post office officials cancelled an exhibition of telephone equip- ment which was to have been held to commemorate the centenary of Be birth of Alexander Bell. The Times-Gazette classified are sure to got results, Graham | and others were guilty of teclinical errors, Hitler Youth (Continued from Page 1) a half displaced persons had been repatriated, the remainder refused to leave Germany because they feared a worse fate at the hands of their countrymen, Major Ruddell explained. Some of these DP.s probably had a record of collabora- tion with the Nazis, he added. A legacy of bitterness between Poles and Germans made absorp- tion of 500,000 Poles in the British zone an extremely difficult task but some solution had to be found in order to relieve control authorities of the drain on allied resources in providing for DP.'s. Major Ruddell predicted that the most stubborn segment of D.P.'s, who could not be induced to return honte, would eventually have to re- vert to the equivalent of a German citizen, unless other countries were willing to accept them as immi- grants, Ag an officer in the incoming oc- cupation forces, Major Ruddell saw the devastating effects of allled bombing and the equally stern evi- dence of Nazi terror, In a brief interview with The Times-Gazette, Major Ruddell re- called one incident which pointed up, in outline at least, Nazi brutal. ity, For some time following the relief of: the concentration. camp at Belsen, he had charge of approxi¢ maigly 200 Jewish girls, survivon of Be 's horrors, Forcer To Steal "It was plain that they had been forced to fight and steal to keep alive," he sald, pointing out that this was inevitable under concentra- tion camp conditions, When camp authorities decided to issue them with new blouses, Major Ruddell was surprised to find that all asked for long blouses. The reason for this uniformity was sim- ple: each survivor had an identify~ ing number branded on her lower arm. V. Wor. Bro. J, N. Willson pre- Sided at the lodge meeting and Worshipful Master W.

In a 250-word statement givingf the views of his party with re- spect to Communistic activities, he sald the "Infiltration of Commun- ists into positions of authority in organized labor ought to put us further on our guard." "It is neither in the best interests of labor nor of labor organiza- tions," he added, "on the contrary it threatens the future of the whole labor movement, With this view I am convinced the great majority of trade unionists themselves concur, "We must not let ourselves for- get that Communism: is undemo- cratic and totalitarian, It destroys man's loyalty to his associates, as well 'as to his country--it leads men to engage In activities subversive to the state ..." "As many Canadians have for some years been convinced and as the events of the last few days do- monstrate, Communists are taking advantage of our democratic in- stitutions only to betray them, "It is for this.reason that the Progressive Conservative party has urged a stricter and more severe enforcement of the present admit- tedly inadaquate laws relating to subversive activities and the enact- the authorities, by due legal pro- cess, to counter «the tactics of the Communist saboteurs. "To ensure the preservation of our Democratic system, we must not only make it serve us better than Communism can serve Com- munist states, but we must be on guard against subversive activity wherever it shows its head."

The liver and spleen were both torn and the spinal col- umn severed, Included among the many fractures of the ribs and limbs was a fracture of the base of the skull, He attributed death to the laceration of the heart and said that death would have been in- stantaneous, Of Dr, Booth's injuries, he said that there had' been numerous in- ternal injuries including bruises to the lungs, torn liver and spleen, bruising of the brain and numerous fractures as well as a broken bone in the spine. Dr. Pritzker attribut- ed death to hemorrhage and shock as well as the bruising of the brain. Engineer Gives Evidence D, McDonald of Trenton, engin- eer of the westbound C.P.R. Ot- tawa-Toronto passenger train said his train was travelling about an hour late at a rate of about 56 miles an hour as it approached the crossing, It was snowing quite hard at the time. He explained he was about two or three hundred yards east of the crossing when he first saw the auto approaching from the north. As he watched it, his view was cut off by a small building and as it reap- peared it was continuing on toward the crossing. When he realized the car was not going to stop he ap- plied his emergency brakes. McDonald testified that he had sounded the usual warning on his whistle and the automatic bell on the locomotive was operating, He judged that when he first saw the auto it was two or three hun- dred yards north of the crossing. He had not noticed any particular change in its speed and could not see if it was swaying on the road, as visibility was very poor, The locomotive was close to the crossing when he applied the brakes, the 12-car train being brought to a stop within its own length, which he considered 100 per cent efficiency in braking. He also testified that the front buffer beam of the locomotive hit the car. The first Indication Robert Scully, 61 Brumell Avenue, To- ronto, conductor of the train, had of "the accident was when the brakes were applied. He ran to the rear of the train and found the wrecked auto and the bodies of the two men on the north side of the i tracks about 40 feet west of the crossing. Examining the road, north of the crossing, he found skid marks ending at the crossing from a point 57 feet north of the rail- way line. G. B. Stephens, 688 Markham Street, Toronto, head end brake- man, told the coroner of running back four car lengths and finding the auto with both doors open. He was unable to find a pulse when he examined each of the men beside, the auto, A qualified first aid worker, P. L. Carleton of 637 St. Clair Avenue West, Toronto, who was a passen- ger on the train said that when he examined Dr, Booth on the side of | the auto nearest the crossing, he found a feeble pulse but it stopped almost immediately. He was un- able to find a pulse in the case of Dr. Cullen, who was lying heside the auto on the driver's side. Road All Bad "The road was all bad, It was ice covered with snow. There was no sand or gravel on the road," sald . Albert Lavery, 26 Kenworthy Avenue, Toronto, a bread com- pany salesman, who was sitting in his truck near the crossing when the accident occurred. He sald that while it had been snowing hard it had let up and the storm did not impair vision when the accident cecurred, The contour of the road, ap- proaching the crossing from the north, was explained by Silas Dix of Greenwood, who came on the scene from the north shortly after the accident occurred. He said that as a driver comes near the crossing there is a dip into the creek val- ley and then a bend in the road after which one gets a view of the railway line to the east, The road is "pretty much on the level," he ment of such laws as would enable said Dix commented that he was driv- |Ing at a speed of between 15 and 25 miles an hour and skidded when he tried to bring his vehicle to a stop at the crossing, When he arrived visibility was good al- though it was squally. Chief Constable Jack Irvine of Pickering Township placed the point of impact on the left side of the auto just forward of the door. Dr. Booth was outside the right door and Dr. Cullen outside the left door. The vehicle was badly wrecked and both doors were open, Due to the fact that many people had been walking on the road he had been unable to find any skid marks. Officer's Car Skidded The officer said there was about three-quarters of an inch of wet snow covering ice of the road. When he had attempted to stop some distance south of the acci- dent his car had skidded badly. Describing the protective signs north of the crossing, Chief Ir- vine said there was a black and white "finger" post about 300 feet north of the crossing while a yel- low road sign, warning of the cross- ing, was 250 feet north of the from a distance of 300 feet, Approaching the crossing from the south the visibility of the rail- way to the east is good while ap- proaching from the north it is not So good in that direction. It was possible, he said, to see a distance of 300 to 400 feet east along the rallway when 250 feet north of the crossing. The view of the railway was hidden in spots to the north by bushes and a cottage with a 20 foot frontage. Stenographer Ill, Hansard Jr. Waits Toronto, March 19--(CP)--Ques- tlon was raised in the Ontario Leg- islature yesterday as to why the of- ficlal Hansard record of debate was missing for Thursday, March 13. A. A. MacLeod (Lab-Prog-Toronto Bellwoods) said Hansard for that Yay apparently had not been print- ed. Mr. MacLeod said {he Hansards show consecutive numbering from last Wednesday, excluding Thurs- day's report, Last Thursday opposition leader Farquhar Oliver opened debate on the Throne Speech and Drew replied, "Several very important speeches are missing," he said. "I believe it is unfair that this debate proceed until the records of the Prime Min- ister"s and oppostion leader's spee- ches are available." Speaker W. J, Stewart told the House that one of the Hansard stenographers was ill last Thurs- day and his transcription was faul- ty. This was being corrected and the Hans<a:d for that day would be published later, . In Yenan Nanking, March 19 (AP) -- Fast moving - Chinese nationalist troops took over the Chinese Communist capital of Yenan today at the end of a 200-mile forced march from ' Sian, The first of the government forces at 10 a.m. today entered the Red capital -- virtually a ghost city since its evacuation by Communis and the removal of practically ev- erything that could be carried away. : Dispatches announcing the cap- ture mentioned no fighting and it was presumed that Communist Gen, Ho Lung's defence troops had faded into the Shensi provinez moun- tains. ..Party.- chieftain Mao Tse Tung and other Communist leaders earlier. were reported to have left the city. Eloquent Tribute (Continued from Page 1) fans "Wm. Cockburn, of Toron- to; Jos. Hearn, of Toronto, and Ford Moynes, of Lindsay, all for- mer officers in this district, were ail present, as well as former Oshawa club members, Lyle Willson, now of '| Cobourg, and Major Al. Simester, now a resident of Hamilton. Mem- bers of the Oshawa Kiwanis Club attended in a body. Hundreds unable to gain admit- tance to the funeral home, attended outside and lined the sidewalks as the cortege passed, Rev, A. D. Cornett, D.D., pastor of Simcoe Street United Church, commenced his eloquent eulogy stat- | ing, "Christian friends are here in | respectful tribute today, to pay our affections to this man who lived 20 years in this community and won the respect of everyone in the com- munity, We are here also to ex- press our sympathy to the bereaved family and his many friends, in their great loss, A Lifetime of Service "I "hink too we are here to learn the lesson that God would teach us from the sudden passing of our friends, We are reminded of that porticn of Scripture in which Jesus sald, 'Well done, good and faithful servant.' We recognize the out- | standing way Cyril Souch expressed and personified the Christian idea of service. We think first of his service to his country, in the first war, He returned gassed and forc- ed to fgge life under a handicap. He is a delayed casualty cf that first war and there are many others among us still, We think also of Cyril's service to his community in Premier | his outstanding work as a Kiwanian, in the Community Drive, Red Cross | activities and the Community Rec- | reation Association and the many | ther organizations in which he ac- | tively served. | "His service to his church was (also great," declared Dr, Cornett, relating his work and leadership in regard to the various church proj- ects. + "His® whole life exemplified and personified the idea of good and faithful service," he added. "Some think of his passing as a tragedy, but we cannot measure life in the number of years a man lives, The worth of a human life is to be measured in service, In this re- | gard, Cyril Souch lived a great life, [a more full and complete life in his | 50 years than most of us would live [In 80 years. : " An Inspiring Example | "We must remember, too, the idea | of commendation, as given in the words. 'Well Done,'" continued Dr. | Cornett. "Cyril employed his tal- ents to his utmost. There is always the danger of our sorrow passing | into self-pity for our own loss, The keynote of this service should be | gratitude to God for the great life | which Cyril Souch lived. We can | thank God for his personality, vi- tal, alive and full of energy and | that his talents were employed so {fully on behalf of his fellow. His | example must be inspiring to us. "The City of Oshawa has suffer- ed a great loss. We as citizens should not think of it as a tragedy but rather accept it as a challenge, that others will step in and carry on 'in the high traditions of Cyril Souch," he concluded. Have Lost a Friend Rev. A. D. Cornett was assisted in the funeral service and graveside service by Rev. J. S. I. Wilsen, for- mer pastor of Simcoe Street United Church, and Rev. W. R. Tanton, of Smiths Falls, also a former pastor of the deceased, each of whom took special prayers at both services. Rsv. W, R. Tanton, in his re- marks, sald: "You who are his friends have come today and come in large numbers because you felt you have lost a friend. I, too, have lost a friend. You have comé to express to his wife and son, Ray- mond, your deepest sympathy in their loss. "There are some things we can- not explain, Those who are left behind have to accept these things and be confident that He knows what is best. We are quite sure that the Heavenly Father khuows best, even if it is hard to under- stand. "Jesus has said: 'I will not leave you comfortless, I will come to you.' We are sure that He comes, in the hour of death. Soon we will be celebrating Easter and we will have that thought of reunion that is brought in the Easter message. To~- day while we are in sorrow at the loss of a friend, we are comforted in the realization of He who knows best and comforted in His presence and in the sure knowledge of that great reunion." Prior to the service and during certain periods, sacred hymns and other organ music, together with | the multitude of floral tribues, pro- vided an atmosphere of reverence {and respect. Mrs. Robert Holden, | Sr., was the organist. ; The Pallbearers : | Acting pallbearers were Kiwan- ! fans David S. Jamieson, A. Edward | Johnson, Mayor Frank N. McCal- lum and Messrs. Everett A.

Members of the Kiwanis Club act- ed as flower behrers for the numer- ous floral tributes. . In hig recent book, "Radical Sur- gery in Advanced Abdominal Can- cer," Tir. Alexander Brunschwig, of the University of Chicago, states that of 100 patients whom he treat- ed for abdominal cancer, 19 have 'turvived with the aid of experi- mental surgery, A university offi- cial said that the 19 patients who survived had been previously classi- fied as "inoperable," and had been given only a short time to live. Russians Bare Yalta Secrets London, March 19--(AP) -- Tass sald today Foreign Minister Molotov declared in his Monday statement to the Council of For- eign Ministers in Moscow that the Big Three concluded a secret agreement at Yalta under which German reparations were to be collected from post-war current production, The late President Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill and Prime Minister Stalin participated in the Yalta conference, 'The official Russian News Ag- ency's verbatim reports of Molo- tov's statement said the Yalta agreement was disclosed in press- ing the Soviet claim for $10,000, 000,000 in German reparations, part from current production, The United States and Britain oppose this demand, desiring to use eur- rent production to pay the cost of feeding Germans, Tass quoted Molotov as saying that it wag necessary to consider the Crimea (Yalta) agreement because the British and American delegates were claiming that the Berlin (Potsdam) agreements, which made no mention of dollar reparations, superseded the Yalta commitments, (At Moscow ' yesterday State Secretary Marshall said "the posi- tion of the United States govern- ment regarding reparations that the agreements 'at Potsdam supersede the preliminary agree- ments previously reached at Yal- ta, We will not follow the retreat of Mr, Nbdlotov from Berlin to Yalta.") Canada Said Slumping 'Morally Toronto, March 19--(CP) -- Rev. Dr, J. R. Mutclimor, secretary of the Board of Evangelism and Social Service of the United Church of Canada, said in an address prepar- ed for delivery today at the Board's annual meeting that "Canada has slumped morally" although it "has not reached its lowest point." He said the gravity of the moral crisis was revealed in such trends as increase in illegitimate births, abor- tions, divorces, venereal disease and sales .of contraceptives. All these rates in Canada were at new record highs, so also were beverage alco- hol sales and arrests for drunken- ness. "Canada has gone too far In her financial policy of non-contributory social security undertakings.
