Discussions

LONDON, Mly l4 -tReul.ers)- The Big Three foreign ministers decided at their meeting saturday to associate Canada with further discussions on long-tenm develop- ments in economic cooperation between Europe and North Amer- ica. it was learned today.

Canada has been regarded by observers here as an essential con- necting link in the evolution of a long-term plan of economic co- opeiatlon.

During the three-day conference of the three foreign ministers, and in the bilateral discussions which preceded them. it was generally agreed that close economic co-cp- crntion must continue across thi- Atlantic after the Marshall Plan expires in 1952

Foreign Minister Robert Schu- man of France made it clear to British and French correspondents here that his government favors a continuation of a Joint organiz-

ation which would llnk North America and Europe. One suggestion has been that

the United States and Canada join an organization oi the powersivho are already matnibers oi the or- ganlzation for European economic co-operation. State Secretary Dean Acheson. it was understood. while not rejecting this idea. made it known that Washington would like to sea European declsions'ior closer economic oo-operation taken before the United states is asked to join a. long-term transatlantic

LONDON. May H - (GP) - The United States, Britain and France will keep their troops in Germany and refuse to write a peace treaty as long as Russian policy divides defeated Germany. thejhrec Western foreign ministers announced tonight.

Nevertheless. Western Germany will be fully integrated into West- ern Europe, and gradually freed of controls to the maximum possible under the occupation regime.

These were the main lines of a declaration on Germany prepared by State secretary Dean Acheson of the United states; Foreign Sec- retary Bevin of Britain and For- eign Minister Robert schuman of France during three days of con- ferences which ended Saturday. Their statement on Germany was made public 24 hours later.

For the first time since the war the role of American, British and French forces in Germany was stressed as I mean; of defence against Russia. not as a police force to hold down Germany.

The three Western powers of- flcisily referred to themselves as ”the Allies." and to western Ger- many as "Germany."

The three Allies do not recog- nize the East German Communist Government.

The stress on the defence mis- sion of Allied troops in western Germany may be particularly gig. niflcant in view of the fact that foreign ministers of the 12 country Atlantic pact open a session here Monday.

There have been reports that consideration may be given to an. larging the pact into I western defence and cconoml organization to include not only Germany but Sweden, Turkey and other coun- tries as well.

The transition from the present, Atlantic Pact set-up to I new one wculd be in stages, with only pre- llmlnr-hJ decisions taken at this Conference. it was reported. Ger-

cellency will bless the boat: It Oyster Bed Bridge.

20-Squadron Objective For R.C.A.F

OTTAWA, May 14 .. (C?) - The R.C.A.F. is aiming at a peacetime combat strength of 20 active and reserve squadrons. large- ly fighters, Air Marshal W. A. Cur- tis. Chief of the Air Staff, indic- ated Saturday in a speech to the R. C. A. F. Association.

Air Marshal Curtis said it is hoped to increase the number of reserve squadrons available as front.-line reinforcements from the existing 10 to an eventual l5. He didn't mention regulars but De- fence Minister Claxton recently said it is planned to increase the number of regular fighter squad- rons from two to at least five.

The Air Chief said 600 wartime pilots under 28 will be given re- fresher training annually to enable them to act: as instructors for the reserve squadrons.

He also said:

i. Canada's

all-weather long- range lighter. the CF-100 could become "one of Canada's main contribution to the North Atlantic treaty nations.” Its recent demon- stration in Washington had "great- ly impressed" American technic- tans.

2. The latest version of the short-ranse. American - designed F88 fighter should be available to ft.C.A.F, squadrons by the end of the year. It is being built in Montreal and 100 planes of that type have been ordered.

3. The R..C. A. F35 first require- ment and its main reserve force

fort now was going into the training of radar early warning and control units. one had been established in Montreal and others would be set up shortly in Halifax. Toronto and Vancouver. Montreal had sub-units scattered down the St, Lawrence to Quebec.

The early warning plan was built on an eight-hour-day watch "but came an emergency and it would be a 24-hour basis." That made the training program essen- tial. The electronics industry was behind the move in Montreal and Toronto.

One of the Association's most

Slate Of Israel On Own Feel

TEL AVlV. May 14 - (AP) - The baby state of Israel. born two years ago, is out of swaddling

clothes and starting on its own feet. The 650.000 Jews who declared

"lsrael reborn” on May 15. 1948, and then battled for survival in a war with Arab countries for nearly another year today proud- ly point to what they have done to build a Jewish homeland.

They know tremendous burdens and great economic strain cloud the future. There is much talk of a new Arab-Jewish war. But Jews beam with confidence that all problems will be solved and Israel will become a vital power in the Middle East.
