Mr. 5., .L.urent reviewed Can- ada's part in strategic continental defence based at Newfoundland and the withdrawal at the end of the war of these defences.

"the strategic importance of Newfoundland for tho defence of Canada and North America gener- ally and for the maintenance of communications across the North Atlantic has. however. been great- ly enhanced by developments in aerial warfare and aerial naviga- tion." Mr. 8t. Laurent said.

He said the agreement was do- siimed to meet this need as ivoll as to provide for the disposition of Newfoundland air bases under Canadian control during the wai".

The agreement provided that control of air bases at Gander. Gleneagles and Botwood—on New- foundland Island~wlll be returned to Newfoundland as oi March 31. However. in the event of an out- break of hostilities involving Nth-- foundiand and Csnada-the latter might take over control of Oun- der for the duratl of hostilities.

However, it should not force soldiers who had fought overseas to use pant their savings to pay the interest cn the roposed loan to Britain. Under the agreement. the Cana- dian taxpayers would have to pay about 006000.000 annually for years to come._hc said.

Calls Agreement Unfair

Mr. Lecombe said the agree- ment was unfair to the taxpayer and to everyone else in Canada and he could not euiwflfi li-

Reolyina to Mr. Bracken". Mr. Bt. Laurent said there had been no discussions bet/ween the Cana- dian and United States Govern- ments with respect to President Truman's message to Congress yesterday on Pan-American de- fenoe. Mr. St. Laurent said the mcssaae was rczarded as a request to Consress for initiation to en- able to give the technical and other assists-rice to Pan-Anteri- can defence.

M. J. Coidiweil. 0.01‘. leader. said that if the American loan did not tzo through Britain would have to withdraw from the Bre- ton Woods Agreement and the Canadian Government would have to review the situation in the light of that fact.

J. H. Blackniore (SC - Leth- bridtzet said lie could not see why Brltaiifs Withdrawal from Bret- ton Woods would affect the United Kingdom's need for the loan.

Mr. Iisley said Mr. Biackmore was placing too much stress on withdrawal from Bretton Woods transactions.

“There will be more serious con- sequences than that from a with- drawal from the B-retton Woods Agreement." said Ml‘. IISIBY- "The United Kingdom iii all probability would not be able to reestablish herself as a multilateral trading nation if the United States loan did not so throutrh.

“This is not simply a question" of lending some mtmey to a cus- tomer who will tum around and spend that. monev on your floods. The American loan and this loan will make it possible for the Unit- ed Kingdom to get into the way oi trading. and this loan by itself cannot accomplish this _end. The United States loan is necessary also.“
