U. S. Experts Think Canada Can Do More To Defend The West

(Two United States senators have recently been critical of

Canadnls contribution to the Kor- ean fighting. In this story. John Scall of the Associated Press pre- sents the views of U. S. officials on Canada's contribution to the struggle against Communism). By John Scali

WASHINGTON, Dec. l8 - (AP) -. United States officials said to- day they would like to see Canada mntzribute more manpower, money and arms to back up the West's fight against Communism lll Korea and Western Europe.

In the View of these officials, who cannot be quoted by name, wealthy Canada is one of the few Western countries which can af- ford to do this without. straining its financial resources.

They made it. plain they are no more critical of Canada ill respect in sending mom troops to Korea than they are of Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands. The U, S. believes, they said, that all can send more troops to Korea to aid the United Nations' fight. against Communist. aggression.

Appreciate Contribution

These afficials.,who follow Can- adian affairs closely emphasized they fully appreciate all Canada has contributed thus far, both militarily and economically, to bolster the Western democracies.

But, they also made it clear, they agree with criticism of Can- ada'a role in Korea voiced recent- ly by two American senators.

speaking separately, called on Canada, Australia and New. Zeal- and to send more troops to Korea.

At a press conference at Sea Island, Ga., Russell said:

"On the basis of wealth and pop- ulation, I don't. think Canada is contributing as much as we are."

Canada has sent a brigade group of about 6,000 men to Korea, they said. and has assigned three de-

stroyers and an air transport squadron to the United Nations Command.

speaking specifically of Canada. informed U. S. officials expressed the opinion privately that the Canadian Government can increase

the size of this contingent with- out jeopardizing Canada's home defences.

Further. they told H. reporter, many American officials believe Canada can easily afford to lil-

crease military and economic aid to Atlantic Pact countries with- out upsetting its economy. This is not true, they said, for Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, the Neth- erlands and other countries, all of whom are handicapped by ser- ious financial problems.

Note Financial Standing

By contrast, in recent months, they noted, Canada's financial standing in the world money mar- kets has become so solid that the Canadian dollar now is worth more than the American dollar.

The Canadian Government has appropriated about s325.000,000 dur- ing the fiscal year for military and economic aid to the North Atlantic nations, they said.

This money goes to pay for an air-crew training program for At- lantic Pact aviators and for lim- ited Canadian shipments of wea- pons, defence equipment and some F-B6 Sabre Jet fighters.

All Atlantic Pact countries, they said, agree Canada's contribution is sizable and important to the over- all success of the West's master plan to defend the North Atlantic area against possible Russian at- tack.

But. the point is, they said, that Canada can do more rather easily- if it so desires.

The Allies answered with a pulverizing air smash at a huge enemy troop concentration area

near the North Korean capital of

Pyongyang, 115 miles northwest of Seoul.

The Reds' propaganda boasts were supplemented by the rare

appearance of a ommunist plane over the quiet front. It dropped leaflets hitting the theme "Yan- kee, go home."
