President’s Ottawa Visit ‘ May Have Cleared The Air
John A. Macdonald, M.P.
The most recent event of rumor import around Ottawa has been the visit of President Eisenhower of the United States. There are varied opinions con- cerning the value of his visit and it is early yet to assess what results may follow his meeting with Prime Minister Diefenbaker and his advisers.
Undoubtedly, the’ two chief subjects under discussion dealt with the urgent matters of trade and mutual defence. So far, it might be said that tangible re- sults have been evident on the latter subject in‘ the establish- ment of the Canadian-United States Defence Council which is composed of the Prime Minister, the Ministers of Finance and National Defence and the Sec- retary of States for External Af- fairs from Canada and the President, Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury and the Secretary of Defence from ‘the United States. BLUNT SPEECH
President Eisenhower’s speech to the House of Commons and Senate was a blunt one with few of the marks of diplomacy displayed by previous visitors. Some felt that it was an attempt to justify the American position followed in trade matters with Canada and no attempt was made to add any polish. The President was admired for his frankness and the typically American at- titude sometimes shown in deal- ing with the problems of others was evident.
There was the inevitable com- parison with the speech of the Prime Minister of Great Briw tain, While in Ottawa, as every- where on his tour, Sir Harold Macmillan was a model at say ing the right things and raised his stock immeasurably, not only abroad-but at home where the popularity of his govern- ment has taken a sudden turn for the better.
WAR MEMORIES . .
The President’s visit brought back memories to some of us who had served under him four- Sean'me ago, and I .well re- member that day in May when he inspected our Brigade as the first Canadian troops to be re viewed by him before “D” Day.
One of the Presidents' first missions was to place a wreath at the National War Memorial. As a member of the Legion dele- gation there I had the oppor- tunity to get some very good close-up shots and also to ob- serve him and make some com,- -parisons with those earlier days. As he reviewed the veterans’ groups assembled. his remark- able personality still shone though as he stopped regularly to speak to different veterans or Silver Cross mothers who were assembled for the occasion.
one could not help but admire the indomitable courage of this

man who, despite several seri- ous illnesses, insisted on carry-
ing on in what is possibly the most trying job on earth.
When the President and Mrs. Eisenhower left the Parliament Buildings at the conclusion of their visit there I had a. good opportunity to see Mrs. Eisen- hower from a vantage point out— sidet the door where a group of M.P.’s had gathered. We were impressed too by her personality although she did not seem as vigorous and animated as the President.
'WAS SUCCESS
All in all, the visit was prob- ably of considerable success and may help straighten out some of the small irritations which have grown up between our two countries in the past few years. Such visits are high. 1y important today when unity among the Western World is ab solutely essential under the pres- ent unsettled conditions in the Middle East.
Last week with a group of Members of Parliament and Senators we completed our final trip to the defence establish- ments —— this one to R.C.A.F. in the vicinity of Montreal. Pre— viously I had been on the Navy tour and had skipped the Army tour to Kingston, being quite familiar with the installations there, having taken a number of courses at R.M.C.
The Air Force flew us to Montreal and back, and had arranged for a tour of several hours to the huge Canadair plant in Montreal. We saw the new Argus aircraft especially built for anti-submarine pro- marine protection in the Mari- time Provinces. .
This plant, which is a sub- sidiary of General Dynamics, has successfully built the North Star aircraft, CF-100, and is now producing the Argus and other transport planes—besides air-to- air missiles and a new allupur- pose vehicle for the Army call- ed “The Rat”. Following our visit there we were flown across the city to St. Huberts where we visited the headquarters and were shown around the station.

tail. One of the interesting TEH'. tnres was the phoning up of NORAD Headquarters in Colo- rado, which call took less than fifteen seconds to complete. This demonstrated conclusively the very close liaison between Air Defence Headquarters at St. Hubert and its parent body thou-
‘sands of miles away at 0010-
rado.
On the trip back the Air Force went out of their way to follow the route of the St. Lawrence Seaway, parts of which had been completed just the previous week. It was a comprehensive sight from the air and one ,of the most interesting parts was the view of the man-made lake where formerly there were seve- ral towns, villages and a flourishing countryside. Those of us from other services had to admit that the Junior Service gave us possibly the best day of the series. GHANA .M. , 7

Princess Enioys Carefree Day
By ALLAN MARKLE KELOWNA, B.C. (C‘P) — Mon- day was a carefree day for Princess Margaret. There were no official cer-
delegates firom Nigeria and it was the privilege of some of us to escort them around the build- ings and have them- to dinner. They made very interesting companions and gave us a greater insight into the gradual emancipation of the African races which is taking place at the present time.
One of the remarkable things about these advances by these nations is the firm desire to stay within the loosely knit con- fines of the Commonwealth of British nations. Their official -language is English and they are copying in every detail the British parliamentary system, on which our own is also based.
It is a tribute to our system that these people are demon- strating their appreciation of its value in adhering to those pro- cedures in the governments
