LARD NATIONS .
REPORT
By Marvin Howe, M.B.
As I have intimated earlier in
my reports, my assignment as Ob-
server to the United Nations was
for six weeks. Therefore, this will
be my last report to you from New
York and I would like to take this
opportunity of thanking my own
constituents, who have made this
-Wonderful experience possible for
me as your federal representative.
Observers at the United Nations
are not assigned as delegates to
any specific committee,- Their re-
sponsibility is to gain as much gen-
eral information as possible by at-
tendance at the General Assembly
and by observing the debates in
the different committees. In my
previous reports, I have intimated
that also as observers,' we have
been asked to meet and address
Canadian organizations visiting the
United Nations, This procedure
was varied on Monday, October 23,
when I, along with one of our
French-speaking observers, was
given the very interesting assign-
ment of 'speaking to a group of
high school students from Yeaba.-
Ma . University_ High School; We
were both highly flattered when the
president of the school intimated
that among outstanding speakers
on previous occasions there had
been President Eisenhower, Presi-
dent Kennedy, President Bengurion
Of Israel and Mrs. Eleanor Roose-
velt. 'It was our duty to • acquaint
the student body with Canada's
views as regards their role in the
United Nations and the role of the
United Nations in the world today.
I did my best to convey Some of
the ideas I have given in previous
reports, However, I did,. not miss
the opportunity to impress on these
students the importance of Canada,
her trade, her economy and, her
future prospectS of the world of
tomorrow. During this. period the
United Nations session, the. inter-
est and activity, switched from the
General Assembly_ to Committees.
The Canadian Government has al-
Ways belleYed in assistance to
underdeveloped countries. If food
and. medical supplies were needed,
we supplied our share. The long-
term assistance, through the me-
dium of economic and technical.
aid, has always been endorsed by
the Canadian Delegation, In the
Second Committee; where Vila
question was discussed, our Cana-
dian delegate, Gordon Aiken, made
the following statement:
"In accordance with the belief
that the work of the United Na-
tions in the field of economic and
social development would also have
to be substantially strengthened In
the years to come, we supported the
resolution of the, Fifteenth Session
of the General Assembly which.
raised the combined target of the
Expanded Program for Technical
Assistance and the special fund to
$150 million, In the view of my
government these two voluntary
programs, ably and imaginatively
administered by the executive.
chairman. of the Technical. AaSIS-
tance Board and the managing di-
rector of the Special Fund, provide
one of the most effective forms of
economic assistance yet devised.
"Therefore, Mr. President, I have
been authorized to inform you, that
subject to parliamentary approval,
the Canadian Government will
again pledge for the fiscal year of
1062-63 the sum of four and one-
half million dollars for the pro-
grams combined. Once again we
propose to contribute $2.35 million
to the Special Fund and $2.15 mill-
lion to the Expanded Program for
Technical Assistance, It is our
earnest hope that with all countries
pledging an appropriate share the
target of $150,000,000 will be at-
tained."
October 24 was the 16th anniver-
sary of the creation of this world-
wide organization. In New York the
clay was marked by many outstand-
ing events. Senator Burchill and
myself attended a ceremony at the
city hall where Hon. Robert F.
Wagnor, mayor of New York City,
presented awards to young high
school students who had written
essays on "United Nations at the
Crossroads". On Tuesday afternoon

Tunisia, president of the Assembly,
when he addressed the Assembly
that day are important. He describ-
ed the Organization as one of joy
shrowded by anxiety and despair

ber of states had doubled since the

IN THE LIBRARY
By Doris G. McKibbbn
Now that the evenings are closing
in, and the weather grows chill
and damp, it is an ideal time to
settle down with a book. Two small
ones I have discovered and enjoyed.
The first:
THE BIG WARD
by Jacobs Van Velde
is a first novel by a young Dutch-
woman. It has been reprinted in
ten languages and has just reached
us in the 'American edition. It is II
the story of an elderly woman who
has awakened one morning to find
herself in a strange bed in unfam-
iliar surroundings. When she be-
comes orientated, she realizes that
she has had a stroke and is in an
old people's home, receiving expert
care, Her only daughter is 'unable
to look. after her and this seems the
best' solution for their problem.
Arolind her are other wonien In
similar circumstances and she soon
becomes an acqueiscent part of this
institutional life arid interested in
all around her. Their lives and hers,
now and in the past, are depicted
with a clarity that detachment and
retrospect often give. It is a sad
book' because • there seems little
future• for her either in time 'n'
activity, She accepts, however, each
day as it comes along; • and, the
thoughts, - feelings and activities of
the women among whom she is
cast, become as important to her as
her own life. Her daughter, Helena,
too, is revealed clearly; her life also
has its limitations even though she
is possessed of a much more in-
dependent spirit. This book is stir-
ring, because it deals with the veri-
ties and realities of life with cour_
age' and- charity,
