Jake Warren's interview focusses on various activities relating to developing countries undertaken during his long career with the federal government (for which he was awarded an Outstanding Achievement Award in 1975 and the Office of the Order of Canada in 1982). He joined the Department of External Affairs in 1945. One of his earlier responsibilities (in 1950) was to help draft the Colombo Plan (of Assistance for Asian countries). He then went to Washington as Alternate (to Louis Rasminsky) Executive Director to the World Bank. After 2 years in Paris working on economic issues at the OECC and NATO, he was appointed ADM Finance. A large part of the interview covers his time at Finance (when he sat on the Board of ECIC, later EDC and CIDA), his period as Deputy Minister for Industry, Trade and Commerce, and finally as Ambassador to the GATT during the Tokyo Round. He discusses the role developing countries have played in the GATT, contrasting their substantial activity in the current Uruguay Round with their limited involvement in earlier years. He also examines Canada's attitudes towards the GATT and its diminishing role relative to the EC adn Japan. He concludes with comments on the part played by the private sector and the provinces in Canadian trade liberalization, and on adjustment assistance.
