Ottawa Report

By Patrick Nicholson

Milly friends of Mr. St. Laurent among his political colleagues are voicing’ their anxiety about mg very evident effect upon his health of his arduous round-the-world tour.

Before the Prime Minister be- |I.n his goodwill mission. doubts were expressed in Ottawa about the wisdom of a man of his sge -— he celebrated his 72nd birth- day two months ago -— undertek. ms the Ions flights and heavy pro- grams involved in such an offic- ial progress.

Throughout the six Weeks tour, his official round of functions was alrnost unbroken, apart. from a brief respite in Hawaii. To the strain of making speeches. inspect- ing troops. saying the right things and eating the wrong ones at sumptuous banquets, was added the familiar misery also endured by less famous travellers of sleeping in strange boos. And as one of the backhanded slaps from March- ing Science, the airliner has brought the painful adjustment of Lost Hours as the borders of time lones are crossed; the strain on the metabolism of a. world iilght'5

The very apparent diminution of that. vigor in the Prime Minister which we saw as recently as during last July}; election campaign has led some of his colleaguu to speculate upon his retirement. Two years ago serious deuibts were expressed whether he would fight. another election as the lead- er of the Liberal Party. He wish- ed to retire, it was said; his fam- ily wanted him to retire to private life to enjoy his old age in tran- quillity: he had been shocked by the sudden passing of his predeces- sor, Mr_ Mackenzie King, who had weakened his constitution by re- maining in full and most active

But. the after cllects of his world tour have started off another chain of speculation here. Where would we find our new leader if we 1ave to make that choice within the next 18 months? ask some Liberals.

Mr. St-Laurent is said to have told Mr. Duplezsls that he expects '.-inn Walter Harris, now Minister of Citizenship nnd Immigration, to lllf'.f'P€(i him. This confirms many *estiire.-i of the puzzle which point to the popular, steady and increas- ingly respected Mr. Harris.

Vlesiem Diplomats To Prepare For Geneva Talks

PARIS. (Reutera)—senior Weat- ern diplomats today begin a week of conferences to forge a united front. for the Geneva conference opening April 20.

British, American and French representatives started their talks last Thursday, immediately after the visit to London and Paris of U. 8. state Secretary Dulles.

The Western brief on Geneva is being based on the conclusions Dulia reached in his talks with Foreign secretary Eden and Ear- elgn Minister Bldault.

The conferences here will be mainly concerned with the agenda item of the conference on the Indo- china war. A meeting to unify Western plans for the item on Korea is being held in Washington.

Two Chief’ Topics

The problems facing the confer- ence are:

1. The future of war-torn Korea, where three years of battle have left the country divided into two hostile armed camps each backed by the world power blocs.

2. The ending of the Ranch Uri- lom war against the Oommunist-led and Chinese-backed Vletmlnh reb- els in Indo-China.

Discussion of the two subjects will bring different sets of negoti- ators io the conference table. The only nations who will attend both parts of the meeting are Britain.

France, the United States, the Soviet Union and Communist China.

All the 19 countries which fought in the Korean War except South Africa will attend the talks on Korea. Russia will take part as a world power. Success Unlikely

The talks on Indo-Chins will probably include the "Big Four," China, the three amociated Indo- Chinese states of Vlet Nam. Laos and Cambodia, and represents- tlves of the Vletmlnh.

The talks on Korea will aim at reuniting the peninsula now divided by the cease-fire line. But neither Western nor Communist diplomats hold much hope of success.

The most that the conference can be expected to achieve is some agreement on how the two Korean states can exist side-by-side with- out troops.

Refuses To Reveal Sources of News

'ronoN'no. (CP)—Bla.lr Fraser refused again Saturday to reveal his sources of information for a Msclean's Magazine article for which he is being sued for libel.

The examination for discovery- Dre-trlal questlonlng—vras com- pleted here before Senate .1. W. de Farris. counsel for Gordon 3. Wismer, former attorney-general of British Columbia;

Mr. wismar took the libel action against Maclaui-Hunter publishing Co. Ltd. of Toronto and Mr. has- er. Ottawa editor of Ma.clean's, following publication in Febniuy, 1952. of Mr. Fraser's article ‘'3. C. Coalition Commits suicide."

At Saturdays examination. Mr. Fraser answered some questions but respectfully declined toanswer questions dealing with names of his news sources.

His refusal previously to reveal these names brought a. British Co- lumbia. court order dlrectiiu the writer to answer the questions The B.C. Appeal Court upheld the order on a split decision. Mr. Pra- ser’s counsel then asked the Su- preme Court. of Canada for leave to appeal the decision. This was refused last month.

Mr. Fraser's counsel have con- tended that the writer's ability to gather information on the under- standing the names of his news sources would not be published was his very stock in trade.
