Canadian Press Staii Writer PARIS. Nov. 2:4-(CP)-Member-e oi the North Atlantic Treaty Or- ganization are telling all to each other in precedent-setting expos- ures. For the first time in history, members of an international group are exposing completely their economic, political and military situations for the common good- to ensure a uniformly solid organ- izatlon. , An executive committee oi three men is taking in the information to provide a rounded picture of the relation between the N.A.T.O. plans and the economic, political and military realities. They are Averell Harriman oi the United States.Sir Edwin Plowden oi Brit- ain and Jean Monnet of France. These "Three Wise Men", em- powered ior their probing job at the N.A.T.O. meeting in Ottawa have the immediate task of re- commending how to get the most military security at the least risk of economic and political collapse. Finance and military leaders or the member countries ha i been reporting one at a time to the "Three Wise Men" here in Paris, members to her home ior the De- cember meeting. the lunch com- mittee to be Mrs. Albert Boswell and Mrs. Leigh Frizzeli.

Finance Minister Douglas Abbott of Canada was one of those quiz- zed. As a member or the l2-mem- ber temporary council committee of which the "Three Wile Men" are the executive, Abbott will re- ceive their report on the situation in a meeting scheduled ior Nov. 23 in Paris. The T. C. C. will make prelim- inary recommendations to the North Atlantic Treaty Council meeting in Rome Nov. .24 at which L.B. Pearson. Canada's Ex- ternal Aiiairs Minister will pre- side as this council chairman. The T.C.C.'s job. which the "Three Wise Men" are spearhead- ing, is largely one of economy. when it finds. ior example, that one country is planning to build military trucks that are not es- sential for immediate security needs. it might recommend that eiioris would better be spent in some other- direction. But on the other hand. the T. C. C. may come up with the re- commendation that some country might make bigger contributions to the joint eiiort that it has planned. It has been indicated that N.A. T. 0. now is aiming to have an integrated security force available by next year in case of an attack against western Europe. But June, 1954, remains the target date when it could be hoped the build- up might be able to taper oii. INDIAN RIVER - KENSINGTON (7.
