I Ottawa Report

By Patrick Nicholson

Sparlred by Prime Minister St. Laurent's ‘speech to the West Ger- man Cabinet during his world tour. an interested group of Sen- ators and MP: here are mak- ing fast progress in the first step lending. they hope. to the the es- tablishment of an Atlantic Parlia- ment.

Mr. St. Laurent told the Ger- mans: "We believe that the peo- ple living around the great basin of the Atlantic should seek the solution to their pabblﬂlnl in in- creased integration of their ma- chinery of government."

These far-sighted politicians. representing all parts of Canada and all political parties. deplore the fact that the North Atlantic

Treaty Organization was forced to become primarily a military alliance. owing to the urgent

threat of the Russian war ma- chine. Looking further ahead. to- wards the objective of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all free men. they are anxious to achieve the non-military NATO goals of freed trade. internation- al co-operation. free movement of individuals and widespread free- dom from want.

The Canadian Clause

This aitainablo dream is the objective of the famous "Can- adian Clause." Article Two of the North Atlantic Tready, which was prlofpased by Mr. St. Laurent him- sc

lion out of the control of the mili- tary chiefs and civil servants who now run it. and put it in the hands of the people. in the form of their elected parliamentary repre- sentatives.

Canada as the Father of Article Two, if not of the whole NATO idea. is appropriately giving a lead to her allies, in being the first group to form this NATO Parliamentary Association. It is confidently expected that our thir- teen NATO allies will quickly fol- low our example and form simi-' lar NATO associations of members

at their on leuaiaturu. no plan is then to hold the inaulurai meeting of all these Parliamentar- iana from all the NATO “ countries in Paris next Easter.

In the five years since the North Atlantic Treaty was signed, it has grown into a huge and secretive monolithic military or- ganization: nothing has yet been done towards attainment of the objectives of Article Two. This. rather than the military field, is where the Parliamentary As- sociation can play a key role. by paddling the backs of those govern- ments which are holding back. In the matter of freeing.trade. for example, possibly the greatest of- fender is our great ‘ “ . but it may be questioned whether Canada’: own skirts are entirely clean.

The significance of the broad NATO project is that it offers an idealism towards which the free world can work positively. in place of our present negative ap- proach of merely opposing com-

unisrn. We have to our south an example of the great economic strength and individual prosperity which can be built up by a huge modern state. enjoying free trade. free movement of individuals. and co-ordinated overall control of ex- ternal affairs and internal policies. The NATO target is to repeat this example on an even larger basis, by abolishing the outdated na- tionalism which carves the west- ern world. especially western Eu- rope. into a number of a mall self- contained sovereign states hedged around with barriers and restric- tions.

The projected Union of the At- lantic Basin would not involve surrender of national sovereignty. but would replace it by demo- cratic co-operation in fields of common interest. such as foreign affairs. trade and defence. I

The result would be to offer bet- ter jobs. lower taxes, cheaper goods. freedom from war. freedom from want and the ability to at- .___:_?.___:_
