Oiliciai Smokescreen

Canadians don‘t yet know, of- ficially, whether ('anada has com- mitted its 8-st1uadroll air division in Europe to a NATO nuclear com- mand. Precious little information on the subject has been divulged to Parliament, and the NATO com~ muniqlle, issued yesterday. doesn’t go into details of the proceedings at this week's conference of NATO members, We may indeed, have to wait some time for official confinn- ation of the news which the press has alread' carried on the subject.

Opposition Leader Diefenbaker had occasion to protest in the Com- mons yesterday at the Government’s attitude in this mailer. While the press was being regularly inform- ed, he said, Parliament was being ignored. He raised the issue on a question of privilege, and there was no comment from Government ben- ches. Prime Minister Pearson had already claimed that there was no new commitment on Canada's part with respect to nuclear arms, but this doesn't precisely coincide with what the newspapers have been re- porting.

NATO infolnlants illnnamcd in the press) were asked if Canada is on the threshold of becoming a strategic nuclear power, and are re- ported to have given a qualified “yes” in reply. It Is becoming more and more difficult. it appears, to distinguish between tactical and strategic—that is, Inng~range—nu- clear weapons. Nominally, the CF- 104 low-level jet bomber, with which the Canadian air division in Europe is now being equipped, is tactical— in effect, limited in range. If, as re- ported. a NATO nuclear strike force of existing air and sea units hall been approved by the alliance’s min- isterial meeting this week, Canada will participate in selection and as- signment of targets for the force.

According to a Canadian Press advance story on this subject, the Canadian air di 'sion will be the fourthJargest nuclear force in the world until the West German forma- tion is completed by late 1964. It will rank behind the nuclear arms of the United States, Russia and Britain but ahead of France's. Negotiations aimed at acquisition of American nuclear warheads for Canadian for- ces were expected to be initated this week by Defence Minister Hellyer and US. Defense Secretary Robert McNamara.

This leaves much to he explained about Canada's role in this affair, but it is all that can be seen through the official smokescreen. If the view In distorted It is the fault of the men, not of those who are trying be got a clear picture of the matter.

Washington Reaction Pope John's uncertain state of health has called to mind, in Amer- lcan newspapers, the tremendous im- pact which his Easter Encyclical, Paoem in Terris (Peace on Earth) hands upon tha world. A Washing- }.on commentator recalls that at the time, there was official speculation ‘that the Encyclicals appeal—not :nnly to Catholics but to “all men of hood-will," including, by implication. ‘pome Communists—had gival Com- ;nunicm I new respectability. There I'waa also fear that its plea for peace, llntprnational order and disarma- ent might give Soviet propaganda unintended but important assist, From officials at the White can and Shh Department cuna mum Wm that the Encycli— inl and “Pooch meeting with gm Adflhubel. Premier Khrush-

anev'a Ion-In-law. would be than II official sanction for Catholics to deal with and vote for Communists in Italy, France and Spain aa well as in Latin-American countries.

But tha reaction is quite differ- ent today. Even officiala with anti- clerical bias are sounding I now note. They are urging their col- leagues to take a longer look at tho Pope's special brand of "revision-

ism". They believe that Pope John ‘

is determined to make his Church genuinely universal, not neutral or indifferent, in political affairs that relate to peace but truly non-aligned and above the battle. And they argue that his tacit recognition of the viability of Communist rule in Eastern Europe is no more a com- promise with evil than the similar recognition given by both Republi- can and Democratic administrations. They add that all concerned really shale a desire to improve the lot of Catholics and other peoples in East I-iulope. to win a greater freedom for them and to extend their contacts with the West.

In sum, these men argue that though change may involve risks and though the Vatican may not al- ways be an automatic ally in this or that future cold-war manoeuver, it has become under Pope John an articulate and powerful supporter of many things that Americans pro- fess, and ought, to believe.

And the indications are that this view of John XXIII is beginning to prevail.

Housmg Report

According to the anual report of the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, tabled in the House of Commons the other day. there is a significant trend away from home ownership in Canada. Apartment construction was up in nearly all cities acro the collntry, while starts on private homes declined from 78,477 units in 1961 to 77,236 last year.

The Corporation also found that the 1961 census provided answers to one of the great puzzles in Can- adian housing. For the past years the number of new homes being built every year has considerably ex- ceeded the estimates of new fam- ilies coming into being. Yet there has been no real increase in vacancy rates.

The census showed Corporation officials that they had underesti- mated nnt only the rate of new iam- ilies being formed but the number of no-family groups (such as work- ing girls sharing an apartment) now seeking accommodaton. They also learned that they had not figured accurately upon another phenome- non of the affluent society: the sur- prising number of those who had previously shared a home setting out on their own,

It is evident. from the report, that there is need for encouraging more low-income families to take advantage of the National Housing Act and more municipalities to go ahead with public housing. Only 15 per cent of CMHC borrowers are in the $4.000~$5.000 income brackfl. The great majority earn more. It would seem clear, from these fig- ures. that‘ those for whom housing loans were most intended are not sufficiently benefiting.
