I11 some respects the two countries had become virtually one and a unanimous proposal to remove all tariffs on wair material is now shortly t0 be placed before the Y. S_ Cotigrcss. .\'o\v there have been announced simultaneous- ly in “Mshington and in London, three highly important boards which, on paper at least, create a complete pool of the raw titaterials, shipping anl munitions resources of Britain and the United States. - Yet the announcement contains no mention whatever of Canada. Nor has there been any in- dication, official or unofficial at Ottawa, “lash- ington or London as to what place if any this country is to hold in the new pooling plan. Despite official denials, as to Canada's desire to have representation on these committees, Can- adians intimately associated with our procure- ment programme have been urging in strongest possible terms that this country should and mitst have a direct voice in making the tools needed to finish the job. Our stake in the procurement pro- gramme both in terms of raw materials and in actual present prodtrciioii of scores of vital ma- terials and supplies clearly warrants some such voice. About the only word which comes from Ot- tawa is an explanation that we did not press our claim for direct representation because if we had done so it would lmvc opened tip embarrassing situations with the other Doiniiuons and possibly with South American countries. This is quite uttcouviitcing in regard to supply and materials in which Canada has a direct inter- est fztr exceeding tltzit of any other Utiited Nation apart from llritrtiii, lfnitcrl States and Russia. \\'e stand in a rwsitioti quite different Io that of any other allies of the United Nations.
