Unemployment Is

By A. I. GOLDIEIG

UNITED NATIONS. N.Y. (AP- The United Nations annual eco- nomic report says the world is still concerned with the problem of pi-e- venting large~scale unemployment in the face of ctits in military ex- penditures

The study was written by the UN division of economic stability and development early this year. but made public only toda_v.

The report notes two trends in the Communist sphere= Last year's switch to consumer goods produc- tion in the Soviet orbit. and the weakening of farm collective pro- grams in eastern F.tiropean cotto- tries outside the Soviet Union.

MAJOR PRQBLEM8 REMAIN

"However. much of the improve- ment recorded in 1953 may well have been of only temporary sig- nificance and major problems re- main to be solved.

"The balance of inflationary and tiefiationary forces was precarious and the continuance of full employ- ment was by no means assured in the major industrial countries. The tintierdeveloped countries did not. in general. fare as well as the et-rintirnically advanced countries and many suffered setbacks in eco- nomic activity and in investment. There were no international plans to meet possible recurrences of the frequent. and often violent. fluc- tuations in the prices of primary commodities during the past few years. . . .

"In general. there is not suffic- ient flexibility in the world econ- omy for it to withstand distur- bances resulting from a substan- tial slackening in economic acitiv- ity in any major trading country. in particular. international ar- rangements for dealing with the currency shortages which would arise in such a situation must be considered inadequate "

Veteran White Farmer Battles Three Terrorists

NAIROBI. Kenya (Reutars)—A '14-year-old white farmer Monday was rescued by neighbors after a scrics of sticks and stones battles with three anti-white Mau Mau ter- rorists.

The three tarroriata raided the farm of David Silver. 20 miles from here. Sunday night after Silver had gone to bed.

The terrorists, two of whom were believed to have escaped from a detention camp nearby earlier in the day. apparently were search- ing for weapons and food.

Silver. who has lived in East Africa for 46 years refuses to keep any firearms in his house as a matter of principle.

Consequently. the battle of the old man and the terrorists had to

be fought out with sticks and stones.

THREW STONES

First a well - timed terrorist

stone put out the light in Silver's bedroom. He had several stones handy and replied in kind through a ‘window before scrambling into the rafters as the terrorists broke the door down.

He peered down from the raft- ers at the trio. ‘They spotted him and began pelting him with stones. One struck him on the head. but he managed to dodge into another room and slip outside into the bush.

The three terrorists caught tip with him and began flaying hint with sticks. Silver got his hands on a sturdy piece of timber and put the terrorists to night.

For the rest of the night. he sat in his barricaded home-—sticlt in hand~—until his neighbors front two miles away made their regular daily visit to see how the old man

Many Countries Attend iilth Congress Of Chambers of Commerce Federation

By FORBES IIIIUDE Canadian Press Business Editor MONTREAL (GP) — Common-

wealth and Empire business men were urged Monday to consider the things they have in common, rather than those which might seem to divide them.

The suggestion came from Lord Burghley. president of the Federa- tion of the Chambers of Commerce of the British Empire, whose lath congress opened Monday.

If. added Lord Burghley, em- phasia were put upon common in- tereata. delegates would find that these covered nearly the whole picture.

He spoke at a lunchebn tendered by the Canartian Chamber of Com- merce. W. J. Borrie of Vancouver. president of the Canadian body. welcoming the delegates, said the congress is an opportunity to re- new economic ties.

GOVERNOR.-GENERAL SPEAKS

More than 30 per cent of world tradt", he stated, were created by the Commonwealth and Empire.

Both the Governor-General, and Lord BUl‘8h1€.‘v'. who followed him emphasized that the meeting was not confined to economic matters.

“You are roiiverned." said the governor -general, with any sub- ject. affecting the Empire as it whole.

Commonwealth’: history and its meaning in the world. “Children need to be taught.

and their parents need to be re- minded. of the background of the great family to which we belong.

MESSAGE FIOM QUEEN

Lord Burghley read a meassu from the Queen. in reply to one of loyalty from the congress. in which her majesty wishes the con- gress succeaa in its deliberations.
