Despite his declared appoint- ment with a dentist to get a tooth filled, Khrushchev found time to hold ‘‘cordial, talks’ with an Iraqi economic delegation in the Kremiin.

Four Cables Said Broken

NEW ‘YORK (AP) —

efed communications.

Western Union said Thursday that three of its 10 cables were broken Wednesday. One telephone cable also was severed.

Repair ships have been dis-

| patched from Halifax to pick up

the loose ends and splice new sections between them, the com- pany said. With good weather, the

cables can be repaired at a ‘rate of about one a day.

OTTAWA (CP)—External Af- fairs Minister Smith, listing the pros amd cons of recognizing Comm u nist China, indicated Thursday that Canada is standing pat on the subject.

Opposition Leader Pearson, go- ing a little farth, said it isn’t going to be possible to avoid a decision much longer.

The exchanges came during a Commons debate that also touched on the problem of divided Germany, Canaia-United States | relations, the Austrian peace | treaty, the United Nations and aid to underdeveloped countries.

KM was the first debate on ex- ternal affairs in the new six- week-old session. Fewer than 90 MPs were present in the 265-seat House at some stages.

ADVISES PRUDENCE

Mr. Smith, in a 90-minute ad- dress, said Canada should pro- ceed “prudently’’ on the ques- tion of recognizing the Peiping government, outlined a “firm but flexible’’ attitude toward-the Ger- man problem and announced Canada is acceding to the Aus- trian peace treaty, signed by the big four powers — Britain, the United States, France and Rus-

a—in May, 1955.

Canada will not countenance the “swallowing up” by the Com- munists of the 2,500,000 populd- tion of beleaguered West Berlin,

minutes, suggested that Prime Minister Nehru of India call a summit conference of East and West. Mr. Nehru was the only man who wouki ensure that such a conference was convened ig the proper atmosphere.

The Opposition leader also sug- gested a ‘top-level formal con- ference’ between Canada and the U.S. to straighten out their relationships. A formal agree ment should be made between the two countries, which now faced more common problems than at any time since Canada started conducting its own dip- lomatic relations.

BACKS BERLIN STAND

He backed Mr. Smith's firm stand on Berlin. On the broader problem of Germany, he _prged a “willingess’’ to talk about disengagement.

Disengagement would not be too high a price to pay # it helped relax tension. He saw no_ reason why the plan of Polish Foreign minister Adam Rapacki for a denuclearized zone in cen tral Europe could not become a “basis for discussion.”

Mr. Smith said Mr. Pearson took virtually all the time up to the 6 p.m. dinner adjournment, leaving only a few minutes for CCF spokesman H. W.

Herridge who urged that Canada speak’

with a stronger voice in the United Nations in support of a work? police force.
