U.S. Influence Suggested Behind Dropping Of Arrow

OTTAWA (CP) — -An article

{ean quarterly Foreign Affairs suggests U.S. Air Force in- fluence prompted the Canadian government to adopt the Bo-

scrap the Arrow jet Interceptor.

The article, by Melvin Conant, former faculty member of the U.S. National War College, says the U.S. Air Force urged the Canadian government to accept

the Bomarc “and to consider phasing out its interceptor ree.”

“Despite grave uncertainties

at that time (1958-59) about the

reliability of Bomarc, the Cana-

dian government agreed to ac-

cept it and te cancel its con-

tract for ¢t Avro Arrow hter.

“Searcely had it done so— despite public misgivings—than the U.S. Air Force changed enough of its estimate of the nature of the manned bomber threat to cause it te urge Ot- tawa to acquire U.S. Intercept- ers, along with the two squad- drons of (Bomarc) missiles. . . .

“The essential point is that the Canadian public suffered a further loss of confidence in the judgment of both their own gov- ernment and that of the U.S.” WOULD ACCEPT BURDEN

Mr. Conant says that if Ca- nadians were given a “thorough | and authoritative’ explanation of why Canada’s military role | is vital to collective defence of the free world they would ac- cept the present defence burden or a heavier burden “‘more com- mensurate with their national wealth and Canada’s standing in the Atlantic Alliance.”

Mr. Conant is heavily critical of both the government and the Liberals.

“No Canadian government since the war has given the im- | Pression of being so thoroughly knowledgeable about defence is- | sues as to be able to reach firm decisions about military re- wirements and to inform the Canadian publie adequately about them.

“Public confusion in Canada ever the course of defence pol- fey became especially con- spicuous with the creation of Norad."’

TOOK FULL ADVANTAGE

The article says it seems clear that Prime Minister Diefen- baker didn’t understand the full Political import of placing Ca- nadian forces under a U.S. com- mander.

" The government re- sorted to various stratagems to exvlain away the agreement or interpret it in a more favorable light.

“The Liberal Opposition took full vartisan advantage of the situation. There were many in- dications that confidence in the government's competence fn matters of defence had been shaken.”

Mr. Conant says the Canadian public has been ‘further con- fused"’ by External Affairs Min- ister Green zealously denounc- ing nuclear weapons for Canada
