U.S. Viet Nam Stand Is Approved By Martin

' House Debates

Foreign

OTTAWA ‘(CP Commubist aggression infsSouth Viet Nam must not succeed or other coun- tries in SouthEast Asia _ will come under attack, External Affairs Minister Martin said Fri- day.

Mr. Martin, opening a day- long foreign affairs debate in the. Commons, lashed out at critics, including New Democrat leader Douglas, who advocate a U.S. withdrawal-from Viet Nam.

The external affairs minister suggested Mr. Douglas and others had not thought out the issue fully.

If the U.S. withdrew from

‘South Viet Nam, were other

countries such as Thailand, the Philippines and Malaysia to be “left to fend for themselves

_with nothing between them and

an expansionist China?”

Mr. Martin said if the US. withdrew -from Southeast Asia and concentrated on defending only the North American con- tinent; there would be a greater danger in other Allied hations acquiring nuclear weapons to fill the gap left by: the: U.S.

Withdrawal would also permit Communist_China_to_claim that its aggressive policies had been vindicated at a tinte when the policies are under criticism by the Soviet Union.

FAVOURS TALKS

Mr. Martin said Canada favors negotiations aimed at es- tablishing a neutral or independ-

ment with guarantees to prevent a repetition of the Communist

Western countries have no de- sire for permanent military bases in Viet Nam or to estab- lish any particular form of gov- ernment, he said. There was also-no intention of overthrow- ing either the North Viet Nam er the Communist China re- gimes.

Mr. Martin said the “com- Regative’’ attitude of North Viet Nam was preventing a start of egotiations.

the United States from its allies and “sap the will of those offer- ing resistance.’ The free world could not permit the inhabitants of other Southeast Asian coun- tries to suffer in the same man- mer as the South Vietnamese. “It must be clear to the whole world the small countries have

Affairs

the same right to independence as China,” he added.’

KNOWS BACKGROUND

He said that as a member of the International Control Com- mission for Viet Nam Canada is in a position to know the cir- cumstances that have led to the crisis. :

North Viet Nam, Mr. Marte said, had taken advantage of so- cial discontent in South Viet Nam in order to pose as the leader of a reform movement.

“Blackmail and terror’ had been used to establish control of a large segment of the pepula- tion. Since 1956 the Communis# Viet Cong guerrillas had bees supported on a “grand scale” by the North.

Mr. Martin said Canada be- lieves more than 35,000 guerrt- las have -been infiltrated from the North into the South.

He praised the efforts of U Thant, United Nations secretary- general; and President Johnson to get. negotiations going. Can- ada had long been convinced the crisis cannot be solved by military means alone.

Besides Viet Nam, Mr. Martin discussed the trouble in the Do- minican Republic and problems

-in the United Nations and North

Atlantic Treaty Organization.

EASY TO CRITICIZE

Mr. Martin said it is easy te criticize the United States for intervening unilaterally in the Dominican Republic. But the blame should more properiy he Placed on a lack of adequate international machinery to deal with such a situation

He said the crisis there was an important lesson showing that more effective facilities for consultation and action are needed.

The external affairs minister said the government will con- sider what help it can give te bring about needed social, eco- nomic and political reforms im the republic. Canada’s future was endangered if nothing was done about the economic and political “‘stagnation” there. .

r._Martin said he cannot conceive of an effective North

“Atlantic alliance without France

participating.

“I stress this hecause of many reports that alleged France is about to leave NATO.”

Canada, he said, is consder- ing now whether to accept an invitation to participate im dis- cussions on control within the alliance of the use of nuclear weapons

Douglas Is Critical Of U.S. Intervention

OTTAWA (CP)—New Demo- erat Leader Douglas charged Friday ‘that United States inter- vention in Viet Nam represents a new form of colonialism which holds up puppet- regimes kacking the support of the popu-

lace.

Mr. Dougias said during a foreign ‘affairs debate in the Commons that the US. is in-

volved in South Viet Nam not so much out of a fear of Com- munist aggression as from a fear the people might get an

Five fire boats lined up along the route, with all jets loosing fountains of water. Scores of ships and 2% harbor tugs sounded sirens and foghorns in the Queen's honor

The couple then went aboard the Royal Yacht Britannia for formal farewells and the vovace back to Britain. Two West Ger man destroyers—the Hamburc and the Schleswig: Holstein —ac- companied them.
