LONDON «cw — The News Chronicle supports the call by L. 8. Pearson. former Canadian external affairs minister. for a fresh initiative in international af- fairs.

The Liberal newspaper. which gives prominence to an account of Pearon's speech in Oslo Wed- n e s d a y. editorially it "agrees" peace prize winner that allied statesmen have concentrated too much on rockets and not enough on eco- nomic aid. too little on diplomacy and too much on divisions.

"What is wanted in the West." says the paper. "and especially Washington. is a reawakening of the imaginative spirit of the im- ‘ post - war years when the Marshall Plan saved Western Europe from collapse and com- munism."

Pearson was expected in Lon- don today on his way back to Canada. He and Mrs. Pearson, who accompanied him to Oslo. are to stay for a few days'at the of- ficial residence of the Cana high commissioner. George Drew.
