Canada Moves Step Closer To Atlantic Military Alliance ~

i.

OTTAWA, Oct. 28-iCPl—Cnn- ada today moved a step closer to

military alliance with the other North Atlantic states. External Affairs Minister Pear-

son announced the Government has informed the other Governments concerned that this country ls ready to enter negotiations on a "regional treaty for collective se- curlty"—~the long-expericd North Atlantic union.

This would bring Canada a broadened defensive pact with the United States and the five coun- tries of Europe's \’ii'estern l'nion— Britain, France, Belgium. Holland and Luxembourg.

But Mr. Pearson indicated the union would embrace even more countries when he said Canada had given notification that she was willing to negotiate with the gov- ernments concerned "and with other North Atlantic States.‘ Ob- servers sald he had in mind coun- tries such as Norway. Finland. Sweden. Ireland and Iceland.

Making the announcement on the ‘eve of his departure for the Paris United Nations meetings, ihc new- Lv-elcrttcd Exicrnnl Affaiirs Minis- ter said the Government has rccciv- ed and studied a report from the governmental experts who met. in Washington this summer to discuss ;ihe framework of the proposed se- wurily pact.

i Huge Increase ,ln European lWheat Crop

LONDON, Oct. ZB-illeutersl- British grain experts believe grain Will be plentiful in the coming year. They say European, Latin- Arnerican and African countries will be able to get all they want. while Asiatic countries will get all they can pay for.

The looming problem is not ‘now the importing countries will fini enough suppLes- but how Canada.

and Argentina can find ennugh markets.

Asiatic countries will get less rice than they would like, but it. will be more than might have been expected ‘vlth present disturbed conditions in rice-growing coun- tries. Furthermore. the rice deficit is outweighed by the extraordinary surplus in other grains.

Europe's wheat crops showed a tremendous increase of about 13,000,000 tons over last year. and this ls fortified by comparable increases in other grains and po- iatoes.

Even Britain. a comparatively small country’. has grown 7.500.000 ions of grain. against a 4.500.000- ton average before the war. That increase of 3.000.000 tons at the heart of the world's grain import trade would alone suffice to alter
