OBITUARIES Douglas Harkness Canadian minister Canadian minister whose support for nuclear arms led to John Diefenbaker's fall DOUGLAS HARKNESS, who has died aged 96, was the Canadian National Defence Minister whose resignation over the issue of nuclear arms led John Diefenbaker's Progressive Conservative government in 1963. An upright, if unimaginative rancher, who had been awarded the George Medal for bravery during the Second World War, Harkness had no doubts about Canada's duty to help the United States when President John Kennedy announced the buildup ores Soviet missiles in Cuba. Canadian government was asked to bring its forces to a state of alert and allow the Americans to send nuclear warheads to their interceptor squadrons in Labrador and Newfoundland. Diefenbaker tentatively agreed, in line with Canada's North American Air Defence commitment. But next day the Prime Minister wavered before onslaught in Cabinet of the strongly nationalistic External Affairs Minister Howard Green, a fervent nuclear disarmer.

Harkness was ordered not to respond to the Americans. The crisis seemed to have passed. Two months later, however, Diefenbaker suggested in Parliament that questions about Canada's nuclear would be decided at the next Nato meeting. Harkness professed to be satisfied, until Diefenbaker publicly refused to confirm that his statement represented a nuclear commitment, and attacked his colleagues for being "'a nest of Harkness responded by telling the Prime Minister that Cabinet, party and country had lost confidence in him. This prompted Diefenbaker to walk out, mouthing words of resignation.

In the event, though, he stayed on and it was Harkness who resigned, sending a scathing letter which, however, he agreed to tone down for public release. Two colleagues resigned with Harkness, and the Social Credit Party, which had been supporting the minority government, voted with the Opposition on a successful motion of confidence. At the subsequent election the Liberals regained though Harkness was comfortably returned by his constituency. Douglas Scott Harkness was born in Toronto on March 29 1903 and educated at Calgary Central School and Alberta University. He became a teacher at Red Deer and then in Cal- 8 00000 03000 00000 00000 00000 0000 0 5 A Harkness: won a wartime George Medal for saving soldiers at sea gary, where his principal, "Bible Bill" Aberhart (later Alberta's first Social Credit premier), vainly tried to shake his Conservative beliefs.

Harkness bought a small ranch outside Calgary and settled down with his wife, the former Frances McMillan, who bore him a son. As a militia officer he immediately joined up in 1939, and was put in charge of an artillery which arrived in England in 1940 to join 1st battery, Canadian Infantry Division. Harkness won the George Medal when a German torpedo hit a troop ship sailing to Sicily on July 5 1943. The explosion below decks threw several bodies into the air and started a fire which spread to the ammunition. Troops under Harkness's control were collecting their wounded and throwing the first rafts into the water when some men were discovered trapped below.

Harkness ran to the scene, organised a rope party and descended to supervise their evacuation. Eventually, all the living were brought up, except for two terror-stricken men who were clinging to raft jammed on the deck. With another soldier, Harkness went aft, broke their grip and threw them into the sea before slipping in after them three minutes before the ship sank. Harkness took part in the bitter battle of Ortona, then returned to England for a senior officers' course FA 'Deric' Evans at Brasenose College, Oxford. He commanded the anti-tank regiment with 4th Canadian Armoured Division in the Normandy campaign.

Afterwards he the antitank defences coordinated armour of the encircled German army from breaking out at Falaise. While he was taking part in the final battles west of the Rhine, Harkness was nominated Tory candidate for a Calgary seat, which he won i in the general election of June 1945. On the formation of Diefenbaker's government in 1957, Harkness was briefly Minister of Northern Affairs, before moving to Agriculture. But his blunt integrity won few friends. toe upset farmers with his opposition subsidies, and made himself unpopular with city dwellers whom he attacked for wanting ever cheaper food.

Diefenbaker felt he was a safe move in shifting Harkness't Defence in 1960. The new minister, though, immediately declared that nuclear arms were essential to any proper defence system. And in 1961 he fired the first of the Royal Canadian Artillery's "Honest John" rockets which were to be equipped with nuclear warheads. Although Harkness never regained office in his remaining nine years in the Commons, he was a highly respected figure on the Opposition benches. His relations with Diefenbaker remained frosty; indeed his leader even tried to stop him speaking in a defence debate by raising a question of privilege in the House.

The ploy failed, not least because Harkness sat well away from Diefenbaker in the chamber, just under the Speaker, Roland Michener, an old friend who frequently called him. As the Liberal government became mired with scandal, Harkness was chosen to lead the questioning of the Prime Minister Lester Pearson, who eventually had to make a humiliating withdrawal of an earlier statement about when he had first heard of his ministers' troubles. The government staggered on from one seedy revelation to another until it emerged that Harkness's own associate defence minister in the previous government, Pierre Sevigny, had been a client of the German prostitute and suspected spy called Gerda Munsinger. Sevigny, however, had never mentioned this matter to his principled superior. Colonial administrator who became General Secretary of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme A "DERIC" EVANS, who has died aged 91, followed 23 years in the Colonial Service during which he was twice Acting Governor of the Bahamas by becoming the first General Secretary of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme.

The awards scheme programme is derived from the ideas of Kurt Hahn Prince Phil- ip's former headmaster at Gordonstoun. Its purpose is to encourage young people (originally those who had left school but were still too young for National Service) to tackle a wide range of challenges and adventures, usually involving physical skills, endurance or service to the community. John (later Lord) Hunt, the Everest mountaineer, had become the first director in 1956, and he was soon on the look-out for someone to oversee the administrative side of things. He invited Deric Evans to become General Secretary in 1959. Evans welcomed the opportunity to launch himself into a second career, and he was proud of the success of the award scheme over the next 13 years.

After formal retirement in 1973, Evans continued to manage a section of the award scheme designed for the disabled, a cause he vigorously promoted until failing health overtook him. Frederick Anthony Evans, the son of a mining engineer, was born in Colombia on November 17 1907. His father died when he was seven, after which his mother brought her three children to live in Surrey. Young Deric, as he was always known, was educated at Charterhouse. He then went to Kenya, where four years managing a coffee plantation at Doondu earned him enough money to support himself through university.

At Corpus Christi, Cambridge, he took a Double First in Classics and Anthropology and ran the 440 yards for the university. Evans entered the Colonial Service after graduating in 1934. A year later, by then married, he was posted to Nigeria as an assistant district officer. In 1940 he was Major Basil Watts appointed Provincial Commissioner and Assistant Colonial Secretary in the Gambia. Much of his free time there was spent exploring the jungle beside the River Gambia and one day he stumbled on a prehistoric stone circle.

In 1965-66 he led an expedition winners of the Duke of Edinburgh gold award to excavate the site. In 1947, Evans became Colonial Secretary in the Bahamas, where he gained a reputation as a first-class administrator and as the fastest government official on waterskis. After Sir William Murphy retired in 1949, Evans acted as Governor for nine months. He had talks with the Americans over the establishment of Cape Canaveral, rocket launching site in Florida, as the British were concerned at the possibility of a rocket crashing on the Bahamas archipelago. The Evanses resided in Government House, where, The Daily Telegraph reported, they enjoyed the tropical shrubbery developed by the Duke of Windsor a previous Governor and the drawing room furniture introduced by the Duchess.

Evans returned to Africa in 1951, as a Permanent Secretary in the Gold Coast Colony. In 1956 he returned to the Bahamas, once more as Acting Governor, after the sudden death of Sir George Sandford. When, 1957, the Gold Coast became, as Ghana, the first British colony in Africa to gain independence, Kwame Nkrumah, the country's first President, wanted Evans to help to form his government; but Evans had become unhappy with the speed of change in the country, and decided on a fresh start. Deric Evans was appointed CV0 in 1973. He wrote two booklets, The State Apartments of Buckingham Palace (1985) and St James's Palace (1991), for those who attend investitures.

In later years, he was a church warden at St Mary's, Froyle, in Hampshire, and remained active in his garden. Deric Evans married, in 1934, Nancy Meakin; they had two sons and a daughter. Officer who led his company in seizing control of a strong-point held by fanatical German Marines sioned into the Somerset Light Infantry and posted to the 7th Battalion. In 1942 he was transferred to the 4th Battalion and the next year, as a captain, had the task of demonstrating to Churchill, Mountbatten and Alanbrooke the effectiveness of the early flamethrowers, which were conveyed in Bren gun carriers. During the demonstration, Watts had to ask Churchill to refrain from smoking his cigar so close to the weapons for reasons of safety.

In June 1944, the 4th Somersets landed in Normandy, where they were constantly at the forward edge of the battles. Watts was wounded by German artillery fire when the battalion was one of those attempting to relieve the beleaguered Airborne Division at Arnheim Bridge Too but he recovered in time to join in the battle in the Ardennes. For most of the campaign Watts was commanding a company, and he was promoted to major at the age of 23. He was always proud to have received a congratulatory letter from Lt-Col Joe Auberon Waugh WAY OF THE WORLD The lost generation ON Monday, when I wrote about the reported tendency of young Englishwomen nowadays to turn their backs on the opposite sex, I was not aware that Demos, the government think tank, proposed to publish two major surveys on roughly the same subject that day. Concentrating on young British males, I pointed out how they, same wore the cropped same hair, scruffy blue jeans and and compulsory gym shoes, earrings had in left ear, how they near thought same and behaved the same.

I omitted to mention the invariable baseball cap, because I assumed they took them off when they were indoors and trying to woo a member of the opposite sex. Now I learn that they almost invariably wear these baseball caps at home, not just at meals but even when they are watching television. If they take them off for a moment, they will nearly always put them on again before going to bed. Neither of the Demos surveys Destination Unknown and The Real Deal has much to say about the wearing of baseball caps as a sort of public statement, but they point out that 600,000 of these young people aged 16-24 who are not in work, full-time training or education have not even been able to organise themselves into registering as unemployed. Many come from households where nobody has ever worked.

They do not look for work or seek to continue their education because they feel that school has failed them, they are held back by poverty and when they do get work they are exploited. The fact that they talk only to each other is explained by the suggestion that they feel they are discriminated against by adult society. My own tentative proposal that the best solution is to encourage as many foreigners as possible to come to Britain is not discussed by either report. Instead they call for a Minister for Youth and suggest that all these young people should have access to an adult mentor. The Minister for Youth would presumably have his own ministry, employing many hundreds, even thousands of otherwise unemployable who could write surveys about each other.

That is a nice thought, and much better than the standard proposal for a permanent committee to discuss the problem. But the idea of an adult mentor for every yoof is even more exciting. This can only mean counsellor, and will involve the employment of 200,000 counsellors at least. The time is 0 00 0 0 fast approaching when every Briton is either a truecounsellor or being counselled. Then we can all wear baseball caps and everyone will be happy.

Awkward subject I wonder if this tendency for young womanhood to turn its back on the opposite sex is slightly older and more widespread than we may suppose. The thought is prompted by a letter in Monday's newspaper from a nurse who was in Africa for the first appearance of Aids. She describes how the disease developed from the practice of men in Central Africa to have sexual relations with a particular type of green monkey. "Presumably humans had had sexual relations with these monkeys for a very long she writes. "So why it only in the that the monkeys contracted the virus and passed it on?" She explains that the monkey was particularly attractive; while other monkeys were hunted and eaten, these were adopted as pets, and even venerated.

Their green sheen was thought to have mystical powers. She writes: "I was taken aback to learn that men copulated with them." But why does she suppose they had been doing so for a very long time? Could it not be the case that Congolese women suddenly saw their menfolk adopting whatever might be the African equivalent of baseball caps, nearbeards and earrings, and decided to withdraw their favours? The men, in their frustration, would then have turned to the pet monkey in the house, with all the dire consequences we now see in California and elsewhere. One does not like to discuss these matters, but it would plainly be wrong to shirk them. No longer fit THE suspicion that mad cow disease never threatened the human population, and that BSE had nothing to do with any new form of CreutzfeldtJakob disease, as one prefers, has now been scientifically confirmed. The British government paid billion in compensation to farmers who were forced to slaughter their cows unnecessarily.

Even worse than this British beef is now banned throughout most of the world, in response to our own hysterical scare. It confirms the opinion I have held for some time, that the British are no longer competent to run their own country. That is why we must all hope that overall government will soon be administered by Belgians, Dutch, Luxembourgers, Germans, French and any others more capable of the task Bishops in command By Malcolm Pein MICHAEL Adams was defeated by Veselin Topalov yesterday in the second round of the 29th Super Tournament Bosna 99 at Sarajevo as the Bulgarian, ranked the world No 13, took the lead on Nigel Short drew with Evgeny Bareev in a game of fluctuating fortunes. The theme of the day was the superiority of the bishop over the knight in the endgame as both Topalov, against Adams, and Ivan Sokolov, against Jan Timman, used the long range power of a bishop to support a passed pawn with decisive effect. Short drew after playing a quiet opening with white that rendered his position so passive he stood worse.

However after a tactical exchange, Short emerged with the advantage but then failed to exploit it as some rash play cost him a pawn. The game of the day was between the world No 4, Alexey Shirov, and the world champion, Garry Kasparov, who are not on the best of terms after the cancellation of their title match. Shirov repeated the razor sharp line against Kasparov's Sicilian Najdorf with which he lost at Wijk aan Zee in January and obviously had an improvement in mind. However Kasparov varied first, on the 12th move. This was quite amusing since when writing about than we are.

Tony Blair seems to be the only politician with an awareness of how desperately important it is that we should be part of the new federal Europe. A glance at Mr Hague, as his alternative, may convince many that it should be brought about as soon as possible. But then one observes Mr Blair's insane behaviour in Yugoslavia, and one wonders whether he is a fit person to lead us anywhere. If the British public is now so stupid it accepts his ludicrous pretence that the Nato bombing is being successful, that refugee casualties are all the victims of Serbian "human shield and if we really bombed the Chinese embassy because our maps were out of date, then I fear this country is set for trouble. Bring back the gentry? Evans with a prize catch landed off the Bahamas MAJOR BASIL WATTS, who has died aged 78, was awarded an MC when commanding a company of the 4th Battalion, the Somerset Light Infantry, on the night of April 26 1945 in Bremen.

Watts's battalion had been ordered to take a road junction in a area, a which another up battalion had already failed to accomplish. The junction was held by fanatical German Marines, but Watts led his company with such determination that strong-point after strongpoint was overcome. When the company was attacked from a house by a stay-behind party, Watts dashed in with two of his soldiers and killed the occupants. His citation noted that it was entirely due to his inspired leadership that the attack was successful and that it led to the capture of 300 Germans, including many senior officers. Basil Watts was born on January 29 1921 and educated at Bournemouth School, before entering Sandhurst, then an OCTU.

He was judged the best cadet of his term, and was commis- CHESS Vandeneur, Irish Guards, whose part in the film A Bridge Too Far was played by Michael Caine. After war Watts retired from the Army, but soon joined the 14th Battalion, the Parachute Regiment (TA). He went on to make more than 100 jumps and became second-in-command. In 1951 he was a member of the regimental team which won the coveted China Cup at Bisley and, as one of the best rifle shots in the TA, finished in "the Queen's In civilian life, he was employed in the oil industry, working in the marketing division of Shellmex and British Petroleum, and later in BP Oil. He became an area manager respected for his integrity and humour.

Watts was active in organising regimental reunion lunches and dinners in Somerset, and went on regimental visits to Normandy. In 1994 he appeared in the BBC documentary made to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the landings. Watts and his wife Susan North) had two daughters. the game at Wijk aan Zee, Kasparov had praised his 12th move as The result was remarkable. Kasparov won a pawn while Shirov developed his pieces quickly and a position was reached in which the champion's splendidly centralised queen was facing down all the white forces single-handed.

Although Shirov's position looked threatening, he ended up having to scramble a draw in a rook and pawn endgame.
