Mr. Ganong said this “is the opportune time 0 start" to work toward union.

"I believe such a union is much more palatable to our peoples today than at any time in the last 100 years . . . a cen- tury of frustration and rela- tively slow growth surely should be lesson enough to us that as small individual prov- inces we should not go it alone."

He said "it is up to us—the business. professional. educa- tional and social community-— to join forces with govern- ments and rally to the oppor- tunity that is upon us."

"This is the logical, the op- portune. and 1 may even sug- gest. the sentimen to change our geographical and political as well as status to the tune of the times."

Mr. Ganong said the backing t

for the idea of union must come from the people because the premiers and their govern- ments “cannot do this alone.

Wilson's Gov’t Pledges * Support For UN Policy

NATO Slated As Keystone

By FRASER WIGHTON

LONDON (Reuters) - Brit- ain‘s labor government pledged its wholehearted support Tues- day for all United Nations ac- tivities and promised to make NATO a keystone of its foreign policy.

Patrick Gordon - Walker, the new foreign minister who is due for talks with President John- son and UN Secretary-General U Thant in the U.S. next week, made the pledges in two sepa- rate statements issued here.

The new foreign policy decla- rations came as Prime Minister Harold Wilson continued ap- pointing his government after squeaking into r with a slim parliamentary lead last Thursday.

Wilson worked against a back- ground of looming industrial troubles. There were signs that a nation - wide longshoremen’s strike was fast mounting.

Gordon-Walker. 57. said in his message to Thant that the La-

r government attached great importance to UN peacekeep- ing operations.

MESSAGE TO BROSIO Another message to NATO Secretary-General Manlio Bro- sio said “the security of the

free world and a common ap- proach to the political problems

before us will continue to be major objectives which we share with our partners in the Atlantic community."

Meanwhile a London newspa. per speculated Gordon-Walker's Washington visit may mark “the first tussle" between Brita ain’s new socialist regime and the Johnson administration.

The right-wing Daily Express indicated it felt any “tussle’ would revolve around the Brit- ish government’s attitude to- ward th American - proposed Multilateral Nuclear Force for NATO and the Anglo-U.S. Po- laris missile deal.

The Labor party opposes the MLF and has also pledged to seek a renegotiation of the 1962 Nassau Agreement under which the U.S. is to furnish Britain with Polaris missiles, minus atomic warheads, for British nuclear-powered submarines.

Gordon-Walker will stop off in New York to meet Thant next Tuesday.

Gordon - Walker himself was defeated in the midlands indus- trial district of Smethwick after an election campaign high- lighted by controversy over col- ored immigrants in the area.

He will have to run again for a safe Labor seat in order to take his place in the House or Commons.

QUEBEC (CP) —- Solicitor- General Claude Wagner said Tuesday he hasn’t been able to find any evidence of police brutality during the Queen's visit to Quebec City Oct. 10-11.

"What has been called ‘the Saturday of the bludgeons‘ was in fact for the extremists ‘the day of frustration‘." he said at a televised press conference.

The 30 reporters attending the conference had to s ow their press cards to armed police be- fore they entered the private bills committee room of the legislature building, where the conference was held.

He blamed extremist state- ments for the climate of ten- sion that made the security measures necessary.

As for police brutality. Mr. Wagner said police had the “ex tremely difficult duty of finding and isolating the agents provoo aturs. for seeing and preventing unpleasant scenes which might have degenerated into tragedy.
