...neighbors are each other's best customers, but it is a chronic Canadian complaint that Canada gets the short end of the bargain. By the trainload and shipload, Canadian newsprint, nickel, aluminum feed the U.S. economy. The Consolidated Denison mine in Blind River, Ont. contains twice as much uranium as all the known U.S. reserves, and its entire output through 1961 is earmarked for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. In turn, the U.S. ships industrial machinery, automobiles and consumer goods to the north, and Canada's trade deficit with the U.S. last year...
...after a shipload of dependents departed for the U.S., Commandant Pate stepped off his plane in Tokyo, his wife on his arm.

"We come with gratitude," said Hans Freer, 34, one of 1,243 refugees aboard the chartered U.S. Navy transport General Langfitt. Freer's arrival with his family amounted to a near miracle of deliverance : his wife had been a Soviet slave laborer, he was buffeted about Europe by Nazis and Communists for 15 years, and for a time it seemed unlikely that many refugees would ever reach the U.S. under the 1953 relief act.

...Corsi planned to recruit 10,000 refugee German farmers for field labor in California, in place of Mexican wetbacks. He hoped to bring in a shipload of 1,000 immigrant Italian cooks and bakers, and maybe a shipload of tailors, too, to come steaming up the Hudson in time for a July 4 picnic. He wanted to short-cut the act's delaying provisions, which require advance guarantees of jobs and housing for refugees. Unfortunately, some of his plans collided with the law as written by Congress; moreover, he initially refused to take his place as McLeod...
