Regret. that Canada had not spoken out more cleoriy last week in her historic role-of interpreter between the Uulted.States and Great Britain w '-expressed in an interview with Guardian esterday by Mr. linaid M. Flem- ng. Conservative member of Par- liament for T one of the caialldates for national leadership of the Progressive Con- servative Party. Queried with re- gsrd to his attitude on the Egyptian crisis. Mr. Fleming made the following statement:

"When the United Nations Or- ganization was established in 1945 a conscious effort was made to clothe it with power to restrain and prevent aggression. in order that the failures of the old League of Nations should not be repeated. For this purpose power was con- ferred upon the Security Council to take military measured in the nature of international police action. At the same time. how- ever. the Big Powers which were given permanent seats on the Security Council were given also a power of veto. No one foresaw at st'time.that the " ' , wo deliberately Daralyze the Security Council by the deterrnlned use oi their veto power. They have now exercised it seventy- elght times.

"On one notable occasion the swift and

possible then owing to- one cir- cumstance. namely that the Rus- sian delegnte was bsent from the Security Council at the time. and was not in a position to exercise the veto.

ARMED REPRISAIJ

"The desperate situation in the Middle East has been developing for some time. The borders of Israel have been the scene of a succession of bloody skirmishes and armed repriaals. Relations moved to a very serious pitch last summer when Nasser selred the Suez Canal.,Last week'si out- break of hostilities between Israel and Egypt created a crisis which called for instantaneous police action as the scene of hostilities moved steadily westward toward the Canal itself. The United Nat- ions was in no position to take immediate police action. Britain and France took that police action for the purpose of confining the hostilities between Israel and Egypt and protecting the Canal which under long established treaty must be kept open

"Sir Anthony Eden has clearly shown that he is quite prepared to have police action by the United Nations now substituted for the police action which Britain and France took. provided that it will be really effective police action on the part of the U.N His state- ment now places the responsibility squarely on the shoulders of the United Nations.

"Canada must fulfil her historic role of interpreter between the United States and Great Britain. I regret that last week the Can- adian Government was apparently
