This should be a matter for the inquiry, he said.

“We will not follow these tac tics,"’ Mr. Fulton said.

“When we assumed office (ia 1957) there were plenty of se- curity files. We never once men- tioned them and do not intend to do so now.”

Mr. Fulton said Mr. Pearson has turned down his request. for another look at the RCMP’s 1961

Mr. Fulton said he must draw the inference that the file re- futes the charges made by Mr. Cardin ‘‘and the government knows it.”

Mr. Pearson was deficient ig “courtesy and courage.”

Mr. Fulton said his recollee- tion of- the file-made-it-imposst-.. ble for Mr. Cardin té prove his charges. The file had contained no suggestion that fhere had been any breach of security or that Gerda Munsinger had sought or received any secret information.

The police had. not been in- vestigating a’ security matter when they reported 6n. Mrs. Munsinger..Their investigation” concerned other matters, not specified by Mr. Fulton.

Mr. Fulton said he can’t prove that Mrs. Munsinger had never ‘spied’ But certainly she had inever spied. in Canada. An no photographs had ever been shown to him.

Mr. Fulton said the ugly at- mosphere in Parliament could be. purged only by Mr. Cardin resigning now. He could thus re- store his own stature and that of Parliament. If he didn't re- sign, .Mr. Pearson should dis- miss ‘him.
