"success in Korea. for from dim- inlshing the need for strength, has shown that we must never again disarm in the face of a potential aggressor who remains fully arm- ed." he said in .a free-time CBC political broadcast. "That is why we must continue this combined effort to deter aggression by build- ing up and keeping up our strength.”

Mr. Claxton. reporting on Can- ada's effort in Korea. said the three destroyers there have steera- ed twice as far as they did during a. similar period in the second World War. Canadais units of all three services had acquitted them- selves gallantly. Her expenditure of effort and money had been "tremendous."

"The sacrifice of lives in Korea and the great concerted effort be- gun as year ago may well be the means of preventing a third world war . .. a further result of the Korean war has been to drive home to the western world its relative lack of preparedness. .

Arab League Assails

il Movemel

CAIRO, July 17 - (Reuters) -- The seven-country Arab League, today assailed. Britain for its in-

5 slstencc in trying to get cargoes

of Arabian oil to the refinery at Haifa. Israel.

Azzam Pasha. Secretary-Gener- al of the League, said it supported Egypt's refusal to let such cargoes go through the Suez Canal.

"Any hostile attitude Britain or any other country might adopt to- ward Eitynt in this matter would be considered as directed against the Arab League and its member states." he said.

He told a press conference that Israel's determination to get Arab oil was the main reason for pres- ent ill-feellng between Egypt and Britain.

"We are all greatly surprised that a. question primarily collccrnins; Jewish interests in Palestine should have become such it menace to Anglo-Egyptian relations and may bring about a. clash that mav have far-reaching tuisequent... in the Arab and Mosiem world." he said.

Azzani appealed for greater un- derstanding by the British public He said suggestions made by some British in L n of parliament for running tankers through the canal with armed naval escorts amount- ed to intimidation which was "out of date."

The Haifa refinery. which used to process oil piped from Iraq. closed in April. 1948. when the Iraqis cut off supplies. Iraq. like other members of the Arab League. argues it is still at war with Israel The refinery reopened in August. 1950.

SEOUL. July 18 -(WCdnE5GlyJ- Communist and United Nations .mllitary leaders were go- ing back to Kaesong again today to make a new effort to decide on an agenda for armistice talks aim- ed at ending the Korean war. The sixth session of negotiators was to open at 10 a. in. today (8 p. m. EDT Tut. .'.ay.)

AP correspondent Nathan Pol- owetzky reported from the Allied advance camp near Kaesong that inclusion of Lt.-Gen. James A. Van Fleet on the delegation was a "possibility." His deputy chief of staff. Maj.-Gen. Henry Hodes is one of the five Allied represent- atlves.

A spokesman at Van Fleets headquarters was non-committal on the question. He said that if U. N. leaders thought it necessary to have a bigger representation "they undoubtedly will add a few more people."
