IKS EVENING CITIZEN, Ottawa, Tuesday, October 9, 1945. Church To Mark Reserve Army Will Greber To Meet Senators and MP's; Has Office Here Members of Parliament and senators will shortly hae a chance to meet and hear Jacques Greber, internationally famous town planner who has been brought from Paris to Ottawa to help supervise the" beautiflcatlonof the national Capital. This was learned today from Hon. Alphonse Fournier, minister of public works. "As soon as he gets settled, and after he has had more chance to size things up, Mr.

Greber will meet the members and senators, likely in the railway committee room of the House of Commons," said Mr. Fournier. "I think this will be mutually advantageous." Offices In Hunter Bldg. Mr. Fournier also announced today that he had enabled Monsieur Greber to get established in offices in the Hunter Building.

"We have provided him with the facilities he needs. There are architects he may consult, there are others whom he can call on for help, if he wishes." Mr. Fournier said that Mr. Greber wanted the beautification of the National Capital to be a co-operative scheme. "He wants to talk to people, to consult them.

He needs their advice. I think he regards is as his role to co-relate plans, but primarily, he wants to talk to everybody who has ideas on the subject." No Dictating. "Then he is not going to do any dictating?" "Far from it" said Mr. Fournier, emphatically. "No.

He wants to work with all responsible authorities." Mr. Fournier said that Mayor Brunet of Hull was delighted, as a result of the interview. "Others who talk to him too will find him a most affable man" said the minister. Mr. Fournier said that Mayor Nx course, Is a ticket back to "Civvie Street.

MINESWEEPERS BACK FROM OVERSEAS Four Bangor Class minesweepers nf the famed all-Canadian 31st Mineswerping Flotilla which operated extensively In waters of the United Kingdom and the Bay of Biscay, returned to Canada recently and are awaiting decommissioning routine in Sydney, NS. They are HMCS "Kenora." HMCS "Thunder HMCS "Wasaga" and HMCS "Minas." One of the last groups of ships of the Canadian Navy to return from overseas, most of the men had heen away from Canada since well before V-E Day and were about getting home. Most of them were looking forward eagerly to the next big treat which, of Open Drive For Recruits At Once Reserve army units will unite in an attempt to avoid the almost two-vear break in continuity of Canadian Militia which followed the end of the First Great War by shortly setting into motion a con centrated drive for recruits for the fniiuuij avww.i. to ft reserve army spokesman. Policy of Department This same policy is said to be the uolicv of the Department of Na- tional Defence which is giving its support to such an effort among reserve army units from coait to coast.

There is still a very evident will- ingness on the part of the older members of the reserve army regl- ments to maintain their units' at a high standard of efficiency pending the return to Canada of the balance 0f the forces on active service. A1- ready a considerable number of for- mer members of the various units have rejoined their regiments. No Rush Yet "Men discharged from the active army are not Joining the reserve in large numbers as yet," said local militia officers. "But we have found that after a few months of civilian life the majority of the fellows change their attitude toward the uniform and want to get back into it for at least a night or two a week so as to revive the old friend- ships of wartime. This is the factor that will bring our forces up to strength in the next six months or so." The majority of local units are under strength at the present time so there exists a definite oppor- tunity in Ottawa for returned men to join up with the unit of their choice.

The Japanese army and navy paymasters are two to three years behind in their reports. The Allies seized more than ounces of gold bullion, silver bullion and gold coin, which in itself is worth more than $250,000,000. In addition there were 33,400 ounces of platinum and 27,122,417 Japanese yen, in silver coin. Actual location of the reserves was pointed out by responsible officials after detachment commanders and other personnel entered the buildings, the headquarters announce mont related. A heavy guard was then placed around the buildings to halt all movement in or out until the treasure was located and the rest of the building could be reopened for normal business.

When Gen. MacArthur ordered the Bank of Japan temporarily dqsed, its vaults were studied to cbtaln records of assets belonging in banks and financial institutions which had been active in financing Japanese war production and expansion abroad. Led To Big Seizure. At that time certain findings were made, headquarters explained, which led to the seizure of precious metals. The big picture of government, army and navy financing could not be obtained then, however, because the Finance Ministry had dispersed the records of its funds' to guard against bombing damage.

Seized gold and silver belonging to foreign banks included: Bank of Thailand (Siam), grams' of gold bullion valued at S43.517.600. Bank of Indo-China, 33,056,814 grams of gold bullion valued at $37,023,630. Fedeial Reserve Bank of China, 13.228.000 grams of silver valued at $630,015. and 342.760 silver coins. Bank of Italy, 213,281 grams of gold bullion.

Japanese sources said gold holdings of Banks of Singapore, Formosa and Manchuria also were located within Japan, but these reserves had not ben seized. The Japanese army reported it had 1.000,003 grams of bullion valued at $1,120,000 in Singapore and 150,000 grams of bullion valued at $18,000 in Formosa. The govern ment said it had 84.989 grams of gold bullion worth $95,200 stored in the Mukden branch of the Central Bank of Manchuria. One Year in Jail Matthews Gordon, 51, who gave his address as Clarkstown, was sentenced to one year imprisonment by Judge Achim in Hull court loday on a charge of indecency. Friday 13th Was Unlucky For OllaivaRSM Friday the 13th was an unluy day and no mistake for RSM Ferris, 126 Cambridge street, only Ottawa man to serve with the Saskatoon Light Infantry, who returned home this morning.

On Friday the 13th of October, 1943, while in action in Italy vhe was caught on a road by a German 88 mm. battery who bracketed his truck, sent over 7 shells, and finally blew up the truck, severely injuring the RSM and his helper. Into It Again The RSM, a veteran of the battles In North Africa, was wounded In the head and side, but later recovered to go into action again with his unit and to fight through the Italian campaign and the battles of northwest Europe. RSM Ferris went overseas with the Cameron Highlanders when they moved to Iceland in 1940. He went to England with this unit, and later transferred to the SLI in Italy.

The unit returned to Canada on the troopship Nieuw Amsterdam and RSM Ferris together with all other members of the regiment proceeded directly to Saskatoon for a formal welcome home. Leaders Hold (From Page One) In accordance with this resolution, the council held 16 plenary meetings during 10 days of hard work and made much progress, Mr. Bevin went on. A practical agreement was reached on the draft peace treaty in respect of Finland and considerable progress had been made on the draft treaty with Italy. The conference then proceeded to discuss the United States' proposals regarding the draft peace treaty with Romania.

These proposals brought up the whole question of the recognition qf the Romanian government since it had been made clear that the United States government, while ready to discuss a draft, would not negotiate a peace treaty with Romania until a broadly representative government had been established in that country. Much the same Issue came up in connection with the draft treaty with Bulgaria. Since there was great divergence in view, Mr. Bevin said he proposed that an independent inquiry should be made into conditions in those two countries. Substantial Progress.

Stressing the substantial progress that had been made up to this point, Mr. Bevin declared: "I was, therefore, surprised when Mr. Molotov told Mr. Byrnes and myself on the morning of Sept. 22 that we had violated the Berlin agreement and that he could not agree to continue discussions on the peace treaties under the procedure which we had been working for 10 days.

"I said to Mr. Molotov that I did not agree that the Berlin agreement prevented us from working in the way we had been and I pointed out to him that we had all agreed at our opening meeting that this was the way in which we intended to work." "For days Mr. Byrnes and I went over the argument many times with Mr. Molotov but could come to no agreement. Mr.

Molotov held that the Berlin agreement should be interpreted in one way and Mr. Byrnes and I held that it should be interpreted in another. "We held that it should be interpreted in the way that it had been when the council passed its roslutlon on Sept. 11." Mr. Bevin said that throughout these discussions he had a wider interpretation which would give an opportunity to the dominions and other governments who had materially contributed to the defeat of the Axis, to express their views as the peace' settlement.

Since no agreement could be reached by the three foreign secretaries, the matter was referred to the three heads of government. "President Truman and Mr. Attlee endorsed the view that Mr. Byrnes and I expressed. Marshal Stalin endorsed the view which Mr.

Molotov expressed, so we were no nearer an agreement." The Berlin agreement had laid down clearly that the immediate and important task of the council was to draw up peace treaties with Italy, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary and Finland. It laid down that members other than signatories to the terms of surrender would be invited to take part when matters directly concerning them were under discussion. The Berlin agreement also had decreed that the council might adapt its procedure to a particular problem under consideration and' "we thought that all members of the council including the Soviet agreed that that was what we were to do when the resolution of Sept. 11 was drawn "Mr. Molotov seemed to agree with us and we never thought otherwise, but he told us later that his new attitude was taken up on the instructions from his government." Had the Soviet interpretation been accepted, it would have meant that France and China would have had to withdraw when the Balkan treaties were being discussed.

The United States would have had to withdraw as well when the Finnish treaty came up. Such a procedure would obviously have created international difficulties. "The time then came when we had to see whether we could agree at least on what had already been discussed. Here the same difficulty was encountered. Proposed Four Protocols "Mr.

Molotov proposed that instead of one protocol recording the council's decision there should be four separate protocols one on the general questions which would be signed by all the five members of the council; the second on the Italian peace treaty which would be signed by the representatives of the United kingdom, the Soviet Union, the United States and France; the third dealing with Bulgaria, Hungary and Romania which would be signed by the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union and the United States, and the fourth dealing with Finland which would be signed by the Unit ed Kingdom and the Soviet Union After some discussion Mr. Molo-tov's proposal was accepted, but then, Mr. Bevin went on, Mr. Molo tov maintained that before he would sign any of the protocols the coun cil must strike out from its record the decision taken Sept. 11.

"This no one else was prepared to do. This in effect would not have given a true record of our proceedings." Other suggestions also failed and Diamond Jubilee St. George's Anglican church, which held its first worship service Sunday. May 12, 1885, will celebrate its diamond jubilee next Sunday, in conjunction with a thanksgiving service. Tne very Kev.

Ottawa, Ont mm Shidehara (From rage One) Throughout the half-hour press conference, the aged Shidehara continually explained that lack of information prevented him from an swering several direct questions on domestic affairs.

He said also that "I have not had time yet to read any of Gen. MacArthur's directives." Shidehara characterized his cabi net as "composed of liberal elements, and you can be sure there are no reactionary' elements." He said it was only a question of "a few months" before dissolution of the war and navy ministries. More Time Necessary Time is required, he explained, to change the imperial decrees which created the posts. The newspapermen were told the new cabinet had not yet studied domestic policy, but the government might undertake reforms which it believes the occupation authorities want, in advance of any directive from Allied headquarters ordering the reforms. Shidehara said that "as a prin ciple, my government is fully pre pared to recognize freedom of thought." which Gen.

MacArthur has ordered for Japan. 3 The government was not iriterfer ing with the formation of the pros pective new Socialist party, he said. He was "not prepared to answer" whether the new administration would permit organization of Com munist parties, but he knew of no plans for organization of the latter, "Likewise, it is very premature to anticipate any reforms in the Im perial institution," he said. "I be lieve the Imperial institution should be maintained." Cabinet's First Duty The premier aid his cabinet's first dutv would be to study Gen. Mac Arthur's directives.

He expressed a hope to sec Gen. MacArthur per sonally. Afked what kind of a peace he thought was being enforced, Shida hara said, "Probably soft in some rt'5-pectr- and hard in others, but that is my own supposition." In the ptefacc of an eight-pcint program for tli Japanese people which Shidehara submitted to the still-skeptical Japanese press, the premier said his government would "respect the fundamental principles of the people, work for complete recovery of freedom of the press; assembly and political organization and establish a democratic policy." The program listed: Steps to re lieve food, housing and fuel short ages, aid for demobilized service' men, re-establishment of the gov ernment's respect of the will of the people, aid to bombed cities, eradi cation of government "evils," price control, stabilization of other living costs and development of industry and agriculture to take care of growing numbers of unemployed. Cily Traffic Courl Roger Cote, Woodroffe, and John Seitz, 112 Pricefield road, Toronto, both paid fines of $20 and costs in traffic court when they appear ed on charges of careless driving. Fines of $4 and costs were as sessed against Maxime Galarneau Woodroffe, for failing to stop at a through street, and Laurier Tessier, 69 Clarence street, and Harry Cold rey, Carlington PO, for obstructing traffic.

Thomas D. Kennedy, 213 Mel rose avenue, paid $2 and costs for failing to obey a traffic sign. 'Still In Dungeon (From Page One) Left Room in Rage Laval left the courtroom in a Saturday, declaring he was not be ing given a chance to be heard, and ordered his counsel to remain also. Once again, Laval was not in the courtroom. His lawyer, Albert Naud, quoted him as saying: Tt was what I expected all along." M.

Naud said Laval took the ver dict "very calmly." One of Laval's guards said he re fused to appear for the reading of the lengthy verdict. Only Chance of Escape. Laval's only chance of escape is to appeal to Gen. DeGaulle for com mutation to life imprisonment. But this, his counsel said.

Laval would refuse, to do. Judge Mongibeaux started dron ing out the long verdict soon after the Jurors filed in at 5.17 p.m. He pronounced sentence only after the wnoie document was read. No date was fixed for execution. Damaged Position.

The Jurors made it plain that the former chief of the Vichy regime had damaged his position bv his wartime radio broadcast in which he called. for a German victory. The verdict said the Jury held Laval responsible for "maneuvers leading to establishment of the Vichy regime." ae also was convicted of estab lishing militias to oppose the Maquis oacKDone or the French resist ance movement during the occupa tion. The French Council of Ministers discussed the case at a lengthy, secret session with Gen. De Gaulle, but there was no indication that the government would interfere.

Information Minister Jacques Sous- telle said the ministers had found that the case was proceeding ac cording to law. The ministers were reported in afternoon newspapers to be uneasy over reaction, to the trial in France and abroad. Justice Minis ter Henri Teitgen was reported to have delivered a lengthy report. The first witness summoned to day. Leon Noel, former secretary- general of the French foreign minis try, startled the court by declar ing: "I refuse to make any statement in the absence of Pierre Laval." Noel said he had made serious charges against Laval during the trial of Marshal Petain, but "I shall not forget what I owe Laval during part of my career and his intervention in 1942 for one of my relatives." Noel did not explain either of the allusions.

Albert Naud, defence counsel, said Laval is equally convinced a new trial will be held for "history" possible even after the sentence of this one has been carried out. Laval was condemned to death in his absence by a Marseille court last year. In a note from his dungeon cell he asked that the defence rebuttal be skipped, and the defence, upheld by the Bar Association, announced this would be done. Such specifically constituted high court proceedings could not be stopped, lawyers said, without removal of the trial judge, Pierre Mongibeaux In that event the new national assembly to be elected Oct. 21 might set up a new court.

Better Conduct Promised. M. Naud" said Justice Minister Teitgen told him the defence's refusal to take part in the trial "is putting French Justice in a bad light abroad" and promised that if Laval and his lawyers returned to the courtroom the judges and Jury would "conduct themselves properly." M. Naud said he replied that it was "too late." Laval himself, asked yesterday if he would re-enter court, shouted: "I'll go into the courtroom only in handcuffs and by force, and I'll turn my back to the court." "One Big Union" IdealFor.CS. But Which One? The question of "one big union" for civil servants finds a divergence of opinion in Ottawa as to which body shall be the parent association.

Fred Knowles of the Amalgamated Civil Servants of Canada, speaking to civil servants in London, Ontario, over the week-end, insisted that all civil servants should be in one body. Should It Be CSF? T. R. Montgomery, acting president of the Civil Service Federation, agreed that it would be a good thing, but indicated that his body was the body the others should Join. "The policy of the Civil Service Federation is quite well known," he said.

"We are prepared to accept into "its membership any body which accepts the principles of the federation. This is well known; it is not new. We are taking new bodies continuously into the federation. We get frequent applications, and if they accept the principles of our federation, they are taken in. "If there is any talk of one body, it should be ours.

We are the biggest Civil Service organization. There we are! If any organization wants to join us, they are free to do so. "After all, the Civil Service Federation is the organization which the parent body of the Civil Service Association, and of other Civil Ser vice bodies in Ottawa." Or a CS of Fred Knowles, back in Ottawa, reiterated today what he said in London. "I said we ought to be all one body, 20 years ago, and I am going to keep on saying it," said Mr. Knowles.

"After all, there are above 60 different Civil Service organiza tions, and 38 out of the 60 have less than 60 members. "It is an economic waste to have so many bodies. We should all be one body, not a multiplicity of bodies. Or Professional Institute? R. C.

Berry, speaking for the Pro fessional Institute of the Civil Ser vice of Canada, said, that before 1918, it was the view of the scien tific and professional workers that perhaps one big organization was the answer to their problems. But when the government ordered re classification in 1919, it was "seen that the professional man was going to be in the same obscure position afterwards as before." The Civil Service Commission, he recalled, advised that the profes slonal men present their case separ ately. He said he got the impres sion that the Civil Service Commission preferred to keep the institute separate. "Therefore it is still our view; we would prefer to maintain our own institution separately," said Mr Berry.

He felt that Prime Minister King was most anxious to have the complete co-operation of the city hall. There would be longer talks, much more intimate discussion, with the city hall people, later on, he stated.

At present, the idea is to consider all the possibilities, and then when plans have begun to take shape to enter into more detailed discussions with the city. Mr. Fournier expressed himself as very pleased with the way things were going.
