That is another way of saying the Giants will present their best hur- ling corps since Ott assumed con- trol in 1943. "The addition of Ray Harrill.

DECLARES— , < ¢qni_1=1i11~i<.1_fm1i_P_e;-'e_l> “The decision with regard to vot- achievement of “stantial unity by the three greatest powers," said Mr. King“ "It would be unrealistic and unwise to reject the decision outright. ' "Here, if anywhere, there is rea- son to keep an open mind and to reserve [judgment as to our position until al points of view have been explored at the conference." Later, he said all members of the organization would bind themselves to refr from use of force, ex- y the organiza- - B using force to attai violation of that undertaking no machinery and no constitution could work. The important thing was the spirit rather than the letter of the constitution. In general, however, he said, no objection could be‘ taken to extending some special preroga- tives to the great powers on whom would rest major responsibility for maintaining peace. Secondary states, such as Can- ada, would also have greater res- zaonsibilities than others. The pro- posals as drafted gave them n_o powers commensurate with thur responsibilities. The government be- lieved the Canadian delegation should work for due recognition of- the relative standing of thesc states and a clarification of their constitutional position. The draft proposed that all mem- bcrs bind themselves to carr out diplomatic, economic and mlitary sanctions at the request of the security council against on aggres- sor. As to the military sanctions there were to be separate agreements and no country was required to place forces at the disposal of the council except to the extent that it- was willing. The draft. if accept- ed, would not bind Canada to send forces abroad unless Canada agreed to do s0 in a separate treat which would have to e ratified psi-- liament. There was no similar provision for a special agreement on economic sanctions and co-operation of more than one state not participating in deliberations of the security coun- cil might be necessary to effect economic sanctions. t would seem to be desirable to develop some procedure where- by states not represented on the security council would not be call- ed upon to undertake serious en- forcement action without the o - portunity of participating in te council's proceedings or without agreeing separately to oin in ex- u ‘ the decisions o the coun- cil." said Ml‘. King. ~ "Next to tlie winning of the war the supreme end to be achieved is the winning of the peace. “Peace can only be made lasting conversations with President Roose- velt at Washington last week they scussed "suggestions which the Canadian Government believe would make for rovement in the - fectiveneu the proposed organ- izetion." The ng of British Common- wealth re resenhtives in London early in pril would “serve a use- ful purpose as an exchange of in- formation and as a clarification of views among the different na- tions of the Commonwealth, all of which are alike deeply interested in the succem of the conference."
