Unrealistic Restriction

This pledge was iticorporatcrl into the I934 Treaty of Paris which brought the couiitry into the West- ern defence system.

_ The main reason, of coiirse, for this impending action in Russia's growing superiority in war potential and especially in the deiclopment of missiles. If it is really the inteniion of the NATO powers. to pool all avail- able resources in science and tech- nology, there wouldn't be much point in leaving West (}erman_v out (1 the arrangement.

ll . Vi No Give-Away _

Some critics of the Federal Gov- ernment profess to see in a new wheal deal with India the beginning of a give-away program similar to that of the l'nited States, about which ('anada has been complaining tor some time. It is. of course, no such thing. It is simply a matter of switching $7 million of (‘anada's coiitrihution to the (‘olombo Plan from manufactured goods to grain. This was agreed upon in conversa- tions between (‘anadian and Indian officials at the Mont Tremblant (‘on- fcrcnce. It will mean that about 4 million bushels of badly lleedfll Emil‘ will go to India under the arrange- ment. But it will not be a “gift". except of course in the sense that all i‘olomho Plan contributions are gifts. And even if it were. \\ hat harm would it do? Sooner or later (‘anada may have to adopt some such pro- gram on a limited scale. if our tra ditional markets are not to be taken over exclusively by the United States.

In volume. of coiirsc. this country could n0l (‘Om- pete with the Ifnited States. It would cost the Govemment far too much. But the principle could be adopted: and it may have to be if the United States peixsists in the practice. One thing is certain: the hungry people of the world need all the grain that both (‘anada and the United State! can send their way.

\\'liate\‘er may happen to Mr. 'l'horne_vcroft's free trade proposal, it seems that the British Govern- ment is looking forward to next yeai-‘s (‘ommonwealth trade confer- enre. This was indicated in the Speech from the Throne lead by the Queen at the opening of the new l‘arliament. "My féovcrnment," said Her .\la_lest_\'_ “consider that this will provide a valuable opportunity to reinforce still further the economic ties among the members of the Com- monwealth."
