seiitial to our survival. But tr are divergent ideas as to what is intended by the word ”Unlon." Some people. he said. it in the nature of I federal pol- itical union, like the union of the ten Canadian provinces. But. the Senator lilrnself believes that Hon. Lester Pearson hit the nail on the head when he forecast that NATO would develop into I great econo- mic co-operative of the Western World. which may one day become I political com-

Canada has invited her thirteen allies in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to join liar iii creat- ing a "Parliament of the Atlantic.” Senato Wishart Robertson. as President of the Canadian NATO Parliamentary Association. is the organizing genius who is gather- ing about 300 Members of Parlia- ment from these countries to an inaugural meeting in Paris in July of this year.

The Senator. who is alIosSpeak- er of our Senate. tells me that he has sent invitations to all these countries. All have enthusiastical- ly accepted, with the exception of Portugal, who has not yet replied.

Britain. France. the United States, Norway. Denmark, Bel- gium, the Netherlands. Italy. Greece. Turkey. Luxemburg and Iceland will all send delegates, in addition to Canada. Portugal is ex- pected to accept shortly.

The admission of the West. Ger- man Republic to NATO will make that country the fifteenth member of the alliance. Nearly all mem- ber nations have already official- ly accepted Germany as an ally. and her formal admission to NATO is expected to take place at the next meeting of the Council of Ministers to be held next month. Senator Robertson will then send an invitation to Ger- many to join this first assembly of NATO parliamentarians.

CANADA LAUDED Our allies have without excep-

siglited step. It will be the first occasion in history when the elected representatives of nations of the New World and the Old World have fonnally gathered to- gether. to discuss their mutual problems and ambitions.

Just what course the week-long discussions will take, Senator Robertson is unable to predict. He is inviting each country to nomin- ate one representative to I steer- ing committee. and this commit- tee will meet before thg plenary sessions. to prepare an agenda.

It would be a fitting tribute to Canada. and to Senator Robertson In recognition of the part he has played in prom ing this meeting. if he should be nominated as the first Speaker of this international assembly.

The basic idea behind this meet- ing. he tells me, is that our elect- ed legislators should have I more intimate knowledge oT our inter- national relations. The Cabinet and the Civil Service assume the policy initiative and the daily routine of this field, he says. And in doing so there is I growing tendenc, for them to be mono- polistic and secretivp. so that not even the parliamentarians, let alone the general public, have more than the liazlest idea what is going on.

Senator Robertson is an all-out advocate of the creation of some form of supra-national lllove!'ii- merit. We have transferred con- trol of our military f rcesiin Eur- ope to I supreme ATO com- mander: we should similarly transfer some control of our for- eign policy and our economic pol- icy to I democratically-elected
