Germany

set-up.

L. B. Pearson. Canada's External Affairs Minister; has said that the best way to neutralize Western Germany is to integrate her in a

European system of which her arm-

ed forces would form a part.

He said Saturday that; Canada has not yet been asked at the At- lantic talks to send Canadian troops to Europe. Nothing has hap- pened yet at the meeting. he said, to change the Dominion's announc- ed plans in the western-defence set-up.

To Ask Special Force

Meanwhile. informed sources said that State Secretary Dean Aches- on of the United States intends to ask the United Nations General Assembly - opening this week-to earmark forces which could be used to combat aggression under the general direction of the United Nat- ions. as was done in Korea.

This proposal would be in line with Canada's action in setting up a "special force," now being made available for use in carrying out Canada's obligations under the U. N. charter and the North Atlantic Pact. '

Informed sauces said it is poss- ible that under certain circumstan- ces, Canada's "special force” would be sent to Europe.

However. it is the Canadian Governments announced belief that Canada can best aid Western de- fence at this time in supplying arms and equipment to Europe rather than ground troops.

Might Wreck Cabinet

PARIS. Sept. 17 - (AP)-French officials fear that any decision to rearrn Germany immediately. with- out strict controls, would collapse their nragiic cabinet.

'Whether State Secretary Dean Acheson of the United States has found I solution by his proposal to merge German troops under I uni- fied Western command is problem- Itioai.

The idea is considered by some to be sugar coating for a pill the French are not eager swallow.

one French official blandly stat- ed that American officials are press- ing for German rearmament now for their own domestic: political advantage.

ROME. Sept. 17 -- (Reuters) - Iialy has contracted to import 200.- 000 tons of Russian wheat and other bread grains at "slightly more than thctworld price," it was learned today. It was understood that Italy accepted the Soviet price to help build up food stocks and also to obtain payment from Rus- sia for machinery and other goods she has bought from Italy.

lifisi Ceiling i On 25 Million Reciprocity Deal

OPTAWA. Sept. 17 - (CP) -- The United States Government has paved the way for greater future arms purchasing in Canada by lifting the ceiling on the 325,000.- 000 Canada-U.S. arms reciprocity deal.

Lifting of the ceiling was dis- closed by a Government source Saturday. In efifect, the U. S. Gov- ernmenthas informed Canada that it no longer considers there is any limit to the amount of arms- ments the U. S. can buy from this country.

It means. too, that the U. S. Gov- ernment has decided to ignore the Buy American Act, 1934. which restricted the U. S. fighting forces from placing ofif-shore orders for arms-. unless such orders were in the "public interest."

The loophole - the "public in- teres" - provided the legal basis for cementing of the reciprocity deal last May. and for the latest move of eliminating the ceiling.

Canada still is seeking.

1. Complete removal of the Buy American Act. .

2. Reduction of high U. S. tariffs on Canadian armaments.

Job Soon

OTTAWA. Sept. 1'1 - (CP) Many members went from the spe- cial. emergency session of the House of Commons with the feel- ing thatparliamentary duties will soon require their year-round at-' tention.

Few expect a return to the leis. urely days prior to the Second World War when a session of three or four months was, all that was required.

There had been some expecta- tions that the wartime pressure on Parliament would ease following the defeat of Germany and Japan in 1045. But the reverse has hap- pened. The pressure has increased and Parliament as been in ses- sion 10 of the has 12 mcnths.

when the 13-day emergency ses- sion adjourned Friday, there was no certainty it would not be re- convened before the end of the year. It was tentatively adjournedl to Feb. 14, but Prime Minister St.l Laurent made it clear that mem. bers will be recalled if the interna- ticnal situation warrants such ac- tion.

The emergency session passed legislation ending the nine-day general rail strike. but it mainly was occupied with plans for Car.- adian participation in the Korean war and for an accelerated de- fence program at home.

Within a few hours after ad- journment there -was a develop- ment which may require parlia- mentary action in not too many months. Dean Acheson. United states Secretary of State. called upon North Atlantic Treaty powers to raise and equip their own milit- ary contingents for a prospective new international army in Europe.

It is Canada's participation in such international affairs that has bccn partly responsible for the steady lengthening of the sessions. Membership in the United Nations and the North Atlantic Treaty has brought increased responsibilities.

In 1930. the year of the outbreak of the Second World War. Parlia- ment sat a total of 109 days. In the war years. sessions were ad- journed instead cf prorogued so Parliament would be available for immediate recall in case of an em- ergency.

There were no cars in the gar- age at the time. Lost in the cor.-, flagration were grease guns. at compressor and numerous other mechanicai tools. The loss was partially covered by insurance but only "a very small portion," stated Mrs. Leslie.
