In Midst of Surge
Canada is in the midst of the greatest economic surge in
its history and its population has increased five million since
World War•ll, Charles J. Woodsworth, Canadian consul-gen
eral in New York, said Wednesday night.
Woodsworth, editor-in-chief of the Ottawa Citizen from
1949 to 1955 and now a member
of the Canadian Foreign Service,
said Canadians are now in a per
iod of "deep economic thrust and
deep thinking."
Woodsworth's speech was spon
sored by the Social Science Re
search Center.
"Canada is facing the same
recession or economic setback
that has hit the United States,
but an underlying spirit of con
fidence and buoyancy has kept
it from setbacks," Woodsworth
said. - Different challenges and
responses are now facing Cana
dians than those in the past,
he said.
There has been tremendous
mining and industrial develop
ment in the northwest of Canada
and the- nation has shifted from
an agricultural country to a min
ing one, Woodsworth said: "A
few years ago the northwest was
an area of unbroken woodlands,
but now it is a thriving center
of mining and construction," the
consul-general said. '
"Rich deposits of iron ore, nick
el, uranium, oil and silver have
been found in the sparsely set
tled northwest," W o o d sw or t h
said, "and the St. Lawrence Sea
way Project has had considerable
economic impact on the nation."
A railway is being construct
ed to Great Slave Lake to tap
one of the .world's richest nickel

deposits, and someday Ameri
cans will be able to motor from
Mexico to the Arctic Ocean as
new roads are being built in
the Hudson Bay region, he said.
"Canada has taken longer to
reach maturity and is in its third
great period of expansion,"
Woodsworth said in comparing
economic developments of the
United States and Canada. There
have been no great "western"
movements or surges as there
were in American history, he
said.
The different geography and
climate of Canada has made the
Canadians wait until scientific
developments were completed to
aid them in their surge west
ward, Woodsworth said.
"Canada has always felt a
nearness to Europe and Great
Britain and conducts much of
its trade with nations abroad,"
Woodsworth said. The history
of the U.S. shows an isolation
ist period and then a new ap
proach to foreign relations, he
said, and that is one of the
basic differences between the
two countries.
"We couldn't want better or
more friendlier neighbors than
the American s," Woodsworth
said. The present economic diffi
culties lie with the bigness and
power of the U.S. and its high
tariff rates, he said.

On Barnard
"It is time we seek professional advice," said Dr. Harold E. Dickson, professor of art
and architectural history, concerning the plaster casts of George Grey Barnard's statues
which still remain at the University salvage dump where the statues were placed after
their removal from Schwab Auditorium in 1955.
Dickson, in an interview, recommended that an expert be brought to campus to look
at the statues and decide whether
they are worth repairing. He sug
gested Mr. Heinz Warneke, sculp
tor of the Nittany Lion, as a pos
sibility.
If the statues are considered
worth repairing by such an ex
pert, serious steps should be
taken to find a place to put
them, Dickson said.
'The Hewer" formerly wa s
permanently placed in the center ,
of the lobby of Schwab Audi
torium and was surrounded by a
brass railing.
"Rising Woman" had been dis
played in the second floor gallery
of old Old Main until the build
ing was torn down. The statue
was then moved into a corner
of the Schwab lobby "because,
there was no other place to put
it," Dickson said. "She was out of,
place there." Dickson said, "but
the Hewer was not, at that time."
Frank Neusbaum, professor
of theatre arts, said that al
though it had nothing to do
with the quality of the art, the
two pieces were "awfully big
for the size of the lobby."
The box office had been placed
in front of the center of three
sets of doors in the lobby, since
there was no other place for it
with the statues there. Keeping
this set of doors locked was
against the fire laws, Neusbaum
said. The statues don't belong in
Schwab any more than in any
other building here, he said.
The Reverend Luther H.
Harshbarger, University chap
lain, said that the statues were
grotesque, and added no beauty
to the lobby. "They became
coat hangers for chapel-goers,"
he said.
George S. Zoretich, associate
professor of art, said that since
the statues were original plasters
they had historical importance.
However he felt that much has
been done in sculpture since that
time.
Francis E. Hyslop, professor of
history of art and architecture,
said that other plaster casts
would cost quite a bit, and orig
inal marbles or bronzes probably
couldn't be bought by the Uni
versity.
