Lewis, who will deal with questions of policy and method with reference to wildlife resources under control of the Dominion 4dovernment. He will be responsible for the administration of the Migratory Birds Convention Act, the Northwest Game Act, the Fur Export Ordinance of the Northwest Territories. 5 The new Wildlife Service will attend to conservation ol the game and fur resources and other wild creatures in the Northwest Territories, the management of wild animals, birds, and fi$h in the National Parks of Canada and the handling of national and international problems relating to wildlife resources as a national asset, and will co-operate with other agencies having similar interests and problems. The Dominion Wildlife Service will also carry on certain fines of research in connection with wild mammals and 'birds, including furbearers, game of all kinds, and insect- eating birds, in order to obtain the information required for wild-life conservation and management. In this field it will plan and carry out scientific investigations relating to '¢he numbers, reproduction, food, shelter, migrations, dis- eases, parasites, predators, competitors, and uses of the -pultitude of wild creasures with which it is concerned. Animal Health Britain is to be provided with a veterinary service sec- ond to none under plans announced recently by the Scien- Hifie Director of the Veterinary Educational Trust. These plans include the establishment of county hospitals for Bnimals and a laboratory diagnosis service, which will cost about £200,000 ($800,000). The cost of animal diseases to Britain is at present between £30,000,000 ($120,000,000) and £50,000,000 ($200,000,000) annually, , Under the new scheme, the Trust will develop research Stations dealing with the problems of ill-health and man- Bgement of domesticated animals.

The, farm livestock stations are to be within By HAROLD DINGMAN Ottawa Correspondent Ottawa, Dec. 11--Along Otta- wa's diplomatic row there have I been. some strange comings and goings recently. It is a good job while it lasts, belonging to the in- ternational set and being a diplo- mat in the Canadian capital. Whe- ther they live in the plus Chateau Laurier, or manage to get a suit- able residence, there is always plenty of entertainment at cock- tail and other parties; the living is often high and the pace often swift. But if the casualty list of the past few years continues Ottawa may get a bad reputation. Among people of the diplomatic corps there is now talk of Ottawa being some- thing of a jinx. Every few months the Department of Extenal Affairs issues a list of foreign representatives. The list needs to brought up to date fairly frequently, for there is a constant parade of diplomats making their exits and their entrances. During the war years four men died at their posts--the U.S. am- bassador, and the ministers from Greece, Turkey and the Netherlands. Some men have been fired out of office by changing governments at home; and others have .quarrelled with new administrations and re- mained in Canada. His Excellency Dr. Eduardo Vivot, fired; C. de Freitas-Valley, the Am- bassador from Brazil, was promot. ed. Abassador Rene Ristelhueber, of fessor at the University of Mont- real; his successor has just been moved from Ottawa to Brussels, which is a promotion. One of the strangest cases is that of Philon A. Philon, former charge d'affaires for Greece. He lived in the Chateau Laurier but today in Greece his income amounts to about $12 a month. Poland has sent Canada two ex- iles, but both appeared first'on the scene as minister. Waslaw Babin. ski, the minister in 1945, was re- portedly mixed up in the Polish treasury mystery in Ottawa. And Victor Podoski, another Polish, dip- the Argentine Minister in 1945, was | France, resigned and is now a pro- | DAILY TIMES-GAZE] lomat now works for the Depart- ment of Labor. The case of USSR, as might be expected, is a strange one. Two former ambassadors, Feodor Gou- sev and George Zaroubin, were re- moved from Ottawa and promoted up the diplomatic ladder. Both were given posts in the United Kingdom. The Embassy in Ottawa is now ad- ministered by a charge d'affaires, Mr, Mikhail V. Degtiar. His pre- decessor, Nicholai Belokhovostikov, vanished from the international set just recently, and without any fuss or fanfare on departure. Russia, Poland and Yugoslavia 'are now represented in Canada by charge d'affaires, although at one time, when relations were good, they had ministers or ambassadors. The heaviest casualty lsit of all seems to occur among our good friends, the diplomatic set from the United States. In the last two years ten men in high office have been recalled and sent to other posts. Still another is on his way out and there is a good deal of mystery concerning him. He is Dana Doten, former press attache and latterly special assistant to Ambassador Ray Atherton, who became involved in the Turcotte incident. And the story is told in the diplomatic world in Ottawa--and it is a well-gub- stantiated one--that Dana Doten was lost in a high-powered squeeze in the U.S. State Department. The great game of politics goes on be- hind the scenes and Doten fell a victim of men of higher influence than he was able to command. More than 30 foreign governments have representatives in Ottawa to- day and on the surface all is smooth and well-ordered. But diplomats, like ordinary mortals, have their own crises and emergencies to meet. And they seem to meet more and more in Ottawa.

Conant dn his suggestion of naming High- way No. 2A the "Princess Eliza- beth" way. This name should be doubly ap- propriate not only for its signific- ance in pertaining to a member of our Royal Family but also because it has been advanced by a man who, while a Minister of the Crown, gave great personal thought and effort to successfully iron out the many difficult situations which arose out of the proposed route for sald highway, in its initial stages. The citizens of the southern por- tions of this county have watched with great interest the progress and completion of this road. In like manner, during the past ten years and with possibly great- er interest have we followed very closely the life of our Princess Elizabeth from childhood to her ul- timate and romantic marriage of November 20. I do feel that no more appropri- ate or significant name could have been suggested for this new dual highway. Yours very truly, LYMAN A. GIFFORD.

Rehousing In Britain SCA Despite the hardships being endured by the bombed out es of the British Isles, the rehousing program must take second place to the production of coal, fabrication of steel and generation of electricity so that the nation can get back on its feet industrially, it is pointed out by Dr. George Gretton in an article released by the United Kingdom Information Office, One of the factors which enters fact that timber to further the imported. In order to conserve revise her plans, As a result, the output of permanent houses in 1949 will be limited to about 140,000 although it is the Bovernment's declared burpose to complete the 350,000 houses now begun or contracted for as soon as possible, * The achievement to date of the rehousing program is a very big one. Up to the end of September over 500,000 y units of accommodation" had been provided in Britain since the end of the German war, These "units of accommodation" include permanent houses, temporary houses, flats, rebuilt or repaired war-destroyed or damaged houses and converted dwellings and requisitioned properties. This means that in 244 years something like 2,000,000 people had been housed, In addition about 750,000 less seriously bomb-damaged dwellings had been repaired. Thus the num- ber of people which the building industry has had to work for--quite apart from normal current maintenance work--is Eomewhere in the region of 5,000,000 at a rough estimate. This has been a colossal task and its incidence is re- flected in the employment of manpower in the building and plvil engineering industries. This has expanded from under 'B00,000 in the summer of 1945 to over 1,000,000 today, But what is most striking abput these figures if we look at them more closely is that the greater part of the expansion is on the side of industrial building, This has grown from 190,000 lo 450,000, while the purely civilian labour force has only risen from 344,000 to just over 550,000.
