The deceased had reached the advan- ced age of 95 1-2 years having been horn at Control Bedcque iv. Prinrt- County on January 2, 1852.

An adverse balance of trade ls a financial condition which, of lt- sclf, la nothing unusual to the British economy, Sir Alexander said. England. evcn in Peace years, has always terminated he.‘ fiscal years with adverse balances. The situation, however, is much diflerenl- now. he said, than dur- ing the period between the two

During those periods, Great funds to meet any fiscal deficit because of her world-ulide invest- ments, insurance. and the income derived from her merchant mar- lne.

But England was forced to draw to the limit on all of her resour- ces in order to survive World War II. Her overseas investments have laeeu greatly depleted and 5119 faces competition in shipping from many other countries. Her only possible hope for the restoration of a comfortable economy is to increase her exports to her ut. most physical ability.

German-horn Writer ‘- Says Germany ls Misusing Liberty

LONDON. May 1a -<a P) _ Thomas itlann, celebrated Genman. born writer who is revleltingdiur- ope for the first time since 1939, as- serted today that "Germany is agal-ti already misusing her ll-berly and democracy." Self-pity, he said has led Germany to fail to co-op- eralc with the Allies.

“Gemmny refuses to acknowledge that n-dsery and tragedy are not hefs alone, although she herself caused tltcm," the 71-year-old aulb. or told a reporter. "There is stif- fering in England and in France, but the German people refuse to acknowledge the suffering of oth- ers. Germany takes a morbid pride in her own tragedy. believing it to be unique, It is self-pity, pnrt of the national egotism, which is pre- vcntlng-Genmafzy from ell-operating with the Allies in her revival."

The Allies, he said. “were misled by the Germans’ drugged attitude after the collapse and have not recognized this essential unwilling- 11055 of the Germans to do their host and to co-operale with the

Search For Plans

(By The Canadian Pres!)

VANCOUVER. May lB-Offlcials of the three-weck-old search for a tnissltig Trans-Canada alrlinet‘. lost in the Vancouver Island area on a. trip from Eastern Canada to Vancouver, tonight studied two new leads in hopes of solving the mystery surrounding the fate of its l2 passengers and crew of three.

Reports received from Ashcroft. 13.0.. tonight said "weak mes- sages" had been received on ord- inary telephone receivers. Mean- while. officials of the Royal Can- sclian Navy said the frigate Anti- gonish had made three new con-c tacts in the Lower? Gulf of Goof- gla ofi’ Vancouver Island.

Both residents and telephone officials at the interior ‘B.C. cen- tre of Ashcroft. some 130 miles northeast of Vancouver. reported hearing messages over their tele- phone receivers.

The messages, apparently re- lating to the plane but barely in- telligible because of their weak- ness were heard for about an hour Saturday night and early today.

Weather permitting. R. C. A. P‘. and ff‘. C. A. aircraft will conduct an intensive search of the Ash- croft district tomorrow.
