Nuclear Arms Become Daily Issue In Commons

By DAVE McINTOSH

OTTAWA (CP)—The issue of guclear weapons for Canada ‘was broached every day in the Commons last week during the Question period

But MPs were no wiser at the @ad of the week than at the beginning.

Perhaps the most significant point was not anything that was said but a single heavy round of applause ssive Conservative benches

This followed Prime Minister Diefenbaker’s opening state- ment of the week that “if war came, should nuclear weapons be used against us, Canadian troops participating should not be denied the right to use nu- elear weapons.

At the time of the Russian nuclear tests last fall the Con- servative caucus came out in favor of acquisition of nuclear warheads. There have been re. Hable but unconfirmed reports since that government aides ac- tually drafted a tentative state- ment announcing that Canada would obtain American nuclear arms

Mr. Diefenbaker said Monday that if nuclear war were launched “nuclear weapons should be placed in the posses- mn of Canadians.”*

But he also said the nuclear family should not be increased as long as there is any possi- bility of disarmament

And as long as, disarmament was “to the the question of joint Guints United States Joint control over any nuclear ads on Canadian territory was “hypothetical.”

In any event, Mr. Diefenbaker

ied, “joint control is impos- sible” because of the require- ments of U.S. law that Ameri- an nuclear warheads must re main in American custody until

erals immediately wanted to know what Mr. Dief- enhaker thought about that

The prime minister said Thursday: “I shall have to give study to the remarks of Secre- tary Rusk, and when I have done so I will make a report to this House.”

HAS NO COMMENT

On Friday, however, Mr. Dief- enbaker said he would have no comment on Mr. Rusk’s state-

ment.

The matter was further com- plicated outside the Commons when Works Minister Walker said in reply to a question on a CBC television program that the government wants “our own sole control” over any nuclear warheads stored in Canada

The government has never defined exactly what kind of joint control it wants.

In the military at least, joint control is understood to be the system worked out by the U.S and Britain to cover American nuclear weapons stationed in the United Kingdom U.S. MUST APPROVE

Under this system, the U.S. president must first approve use of the weapons. Then Brit-

ain can decide whether to fire them or not. This, in effect, gives Britain a veto over the firing of American nuclear weapons from its soil. But it prevents Britain from deciding by itself on the firing.

The Liberals asked whether there was some “secret” agree- ment in this rega

Mr. Diefenbaker said there isn't. He also said there are “no immediate: discussions” with the U.S. on the subject of joint control

Mr. Pearson on Monday asked how, if joint control were im- possible, Mr. Diefenbaker was going to ensure that nuclear warheads would be in the hands of Canadian forces in event of war.

By Friday, this question was still unanswered.

ANSWERS QUESTIONS Answering a question from the floor on the matter of Red China, Mr. Douglas pointed to that country as the potential military aggress >, with Russia having turned to advance on economic fronts and infiltra- tion of ideals. He was of the opinion that Canada should recognize Red China as Britain had done, and open diplomatic relations with her. Red China should be join the UN, he said, if she would ac- cept the charter of that body and abide by its decisions, with the entry stipulated by no con- ditions on either side. Regarding the problem of Formosa and Nationalist China

He also advised having the NATO and Warsaw forces under the command of the UN. Club president Diane Thom the

She was 24 when she married lumber company executive Nor- man F. Wilson, former Liberal member of Parliament for the Ottawa riding of Russell. 1921, when the family moved to Ottawa, Mrs, Wilson started to take part in politics.

In the year when women were first given the vote, Mrs. Wil- son acted as joint president of the Ontario Liberal Association

and te the 1971 dee) tion campaign that brought the

Liberals to power with Mr. King as prime minister.

In 1930 she was the prime architect behind the first na- tional organization for young Liberals. In the same year came Mr. King’s offer of a Senate seat.

Senator Wilson became the first woman to take the Senate Speaker's chair in 1956, during the illness of the regular

speaker. As the first woman Senator, Mrs. Wilson posed a problem widely talked and written about —how should she dress and how should she be ‘addressed?
