LONDON. (CP)- Csn.lda's at- titude to the controversial Belgian rifle was a "cardinal considers-it tion" in the British government's decision to re-equip its army withi that model rather than a Britlshl WD6- ;

This emerges from the welter of words in Britain's "great rifle de-l hate,” the sharpest of the year ini the House of Commons.

"The point is that Canada has stated that for her government to manufacture a rifle which has

ibeen turned down by the United istates would be a course which they could not accept," said Head.

Production Question

His other point was thisl "I maintain that in any future war a. government which felt happy a- bout having the whole of their rifle production in this country would lack vision."

Canada's decision to manufac- ture the Belgian rifle under lic- ence. tests permitting, "is a eu- dinai consideration in this mat- ter," he added. citing the ease of a. bomb hit on a Birmingham small arms plant during the Sec- ond World war. This, he said, had jeopardized British rifle produc- tion for a time.

Threat To

OTTAWA, (CP)-The Canadian Govemment is worried about Syngman Rhee's new threat to re- open the Korean war.

The South Korean president was reported Wednesday as saying that he is determined to invade North Korea. drive out the ChincneCom- murlists and unity the country. Rhee added: "I am not blufiing."

Officials here said renewal of the Korean war would result in a "terrible mess". It would be even worse for the West's position in Asia. if South Korea reopened it.

External Affairs Minister Pear- son has already made clear that Canada won't support Rhee if he attempts to unify Korea by force.

But this country still has an in- fantry brigade in the most for- ward United Nations position. flush against the danilitarircd zone. It would probably be impos- sible for it not to become involved, especially if any Southxorean at- tacks were thmwn back.

However, the Commission finds that "is rate increase at the pre- sent time or in the near future, in the face of a declining ec- onomy. would be wholly un- welcome by the general public and might not result in a satisfactory solution of any financial difficulty which might face the Company." It strongly urges upon employees.
