LONDON ICPD - For the first time in lo years British tourist: can go to Canada with some dol- lars in their pockets. In a move that meets the oft- exprcssed Canadian wish that Brit- ish tourists could visit their coun- try. the chancellor of the excheq- ucr, Peter Thorncycroft, Tuesday announced in the House of Com- mons that each wurl-st will be al- lowed an annual travel allowance of 2100 for visits to the dollar arcn. Thorneycroft said the ban on travel in North America. which went into effect during the con- vertibility crisis of i947, "has erected an unnatural banter be- tween the Engllsh-speaklng P909195 which should not be allowed to continue any longer than neces- nary."

Later a spokesman for the Com- monwealth relations department said the minister. the Earl of Home. was "overjoyed." Lord Home. who visited Canada last year. has been a firm advocate of the need to ease travel restric- tions to Canada. Canadians have been urging the lifting of the travel ban for sev- eral years at both official and mi official levels. Prime "' ' A St Laurent brought the question up in his recent Bermuda talks with British Prime Minister Macmillan. The Canadian argument has been that freedom of travel would allow people on both sides of the Atlantic to get to know each other better and to appreciate mutual problems.
