TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, British Vice-Consul Tells Problems Facing England Norman H. prlckett, British Vice-consul with headquarters in Portland, was a recent visitor to Klamath Palls where he conferred with resident Britons, visited sev eral schools and in general made himself available to answer ques tions regarding British viewpoints and policy. Prlckett issued the following stale ment while visiting in the city: With a population ot fifty mil lions crowded Into an area only one third the size of Oregon the United Kingdom could not practise self-sufficiency, even If its people wanted to do so. Our farmers pro duce about half of the country's food supplies, and the rest, together with all the raw materials needed for Industry, (except coal), have to be Imported. To pay for these Imports, the country depends in the main, upon exports of manu factures, and to a smaller but nev ertheless important extent, upon the foreign exchange earned by Ihe sale of commercial and finan- NORMAN FRICKETT eial services abroad. These serv ices' Include shipping, insurance, banking, civil aviation, and the loan of capital for investment overseas. Now, all these matters are, in the long run, part and parcel of our problem of balancing our over seas payments. This has been our chief aim since the war, and with in the framework of that problem, we have of course had to balance our dollar payments. It was, there fore, a matter of satisfaction to all concerned, that world trading con ditions in 1953 were more stable than they had been in the previous two years. The boom. In world trade which followed the outbreak of the Korean War had spent it self by the spring of 1952, but fortunately the volume of world ex ports rose in the first half of 1953. This gradual revival of trade in Missing KF Boy Returns Home Larry Stevens, 13-year-old grade school student, reported as missing when he did not return home from school Monday was located this morning. Local police reported the boy had gone to Tulelake where he spent the night with friends. Also reported missing for a time last night were three members of the younger set, a girl aged 3 and two boys 5 and 7. The youngsters were found in a local theater where they had gone for a bit of entertainment.

Later the driver explained the "avoidance relation." an odd Apacne religious custom. A mar ried man must never speak to his mother-in-law, or even look at 'her. This happened on Greyhound's Great Southwest escorted tour which I enjoyed recently. We stopped it a famous Wlckenburg dude ranch, and went sightseeing around Phoenix. An evening in exotic Juarez, Mexico, was an ex citing feature of our stay ln El Prso. Carlsbad Caverns and a stop-over In picturesque Old Santa Fe were other wonderful events. We toured the Indian Country via Albuquerque. Oallup and Flag naff, and our trio to Orand Can. yon included lots of sightseeing 1954 1953. followed In the wake of an increase in world industrial activ ity, and again fortunately, this rise did not lead to any increase in commodity prices, m fact, these continued to fall, right into 1053. PRODUCTION The increased production in the United Kingdom provided us with the resources to maintain our ex ports at a high level and to in crease consumption and invest ment at home. This in turn showed itself in more food consumption, greater ..variabilities of goods hith erto reserved mostly for export, m a much higher rate of home construction, and in heavy. Invest ment in the basic industries. Yet another striking development has been the eliding of all war-time controls. Commodity markets have been re-opened and importing restorea to private hands, with freedom to purchase in most oases, without quota restrictions and without cur rency restriction as to source. In recounting the above in some detail. I have endeavoured to show you something of the background which has proved so favourable for our long-term aim. This is to find a solution of our difficulties which will assure the strength and vital ity of our currency and, in the pro cess, secure the needs of the or dinary man, sure employment, dig nified standards of living, and the opportunity for advancement. FREE TRADE We shall continue unremittingly with pur cflorts toward freeing trade, and freeing the currencies. We realise that you on your part are pursuing similar aims, and that today a very great number of Americans are In favour of the liberalisation of trade policies. One very great achievement that al leady stands to your credit is the fact that you have prevented a re cession, maintained your economic activity at a high level, and thus prevented those serious conse quences which would have result ed from a serious economic set back in so great and powerful an economy. By the same token you have eliminated the persistent bog ey of dollar shortages abroad. Despite your programmes of dol lar expenditures abroad,' however. there is as yet no satisfactory long term solution of America's under lying payments surplus, which has now lasted 30 years. This surplus has been offset first, by invest ment; then by gold transfers, and then by aid and by military ex penditures. We believe you feel as we do however, that the balance of payments between your country and the rest of the world should owe more to the firmly rooted and natural processes of trade, com merce and investment, and should be less dependent uoon special programmes, which are really ab normal in nature and subject to the chances and changes of time, and perhans of politics, RELATIONSHIP We aim at a solidly based eco nomic relationship between us, feeling that our 'one-world' must rest upon secure foundations. This means in effect that we seek more opportunities to EARN more dol lars, and would like to see the same opportunities for others, since a flow of freely expendable dollars to any part of the world, benefits the whole of it. To sum marise, we retain high hopes for the future, especially as we know lhat the versatility of British in dustry has been strikingly demon strated in the development since the war of many new types of exports- which previously played lit tle or no part In our trade. Aircraft, radar equipment, agri cultural tractors, office machinery and petroleum products, are all examples'of this development, while our motor industry also af fords a notable Illustration of the possibilities of export expansion. At tne same time, we have man- aged to maintain the reputation we have established in the more tra ditional nnes.i In the overall view of our joint activities throughout the world, we feel there is little doubt of our ability to constantly Improve the lot, not only of our own peoples but also of the many millions of other races throughout the world, to whom our guidance can be of inestimable value in the age old li:;ht against poverty and all that louows in its train. sMliiS and a night at rustic El Tovar nolci We visited Hoover Dam, and Greyhound - save ns farewell dmner ln tne OP"8 House Theatre The group on the new Grey hound air-ride, picture-window coach was really congenial, and our Tour Conductor took care of every travel detail.
