BONN (Reuters)—The Bunde- . gtag Friday erupted in anger for , the second day running as opposi- i lion socialists battled to bar nu- [ clear weapons from West Ger- » many. Chancellor Konr-ad Adenauer repeated his declaration, first made Thursday at the start of a foreign affaim debate in par- liament, that West Germany would scuttle the power of the Atlantic Pact if it refused under any circumstances to arm itself with nuclear weapons. All but a few of the Ohrristian Democrats walked out of the chamber Thursday when a Social Democrat compared the govern- T?’ ment’s arguments in favor of the nuclear ~deterrent“-to Nazi Josef Goebbels’ call for “total war."

Mr. Myers in speaking for himself only, stated that he had left the House to attend an im- portant committee meeting which had been called by the Provincial Treasurer, Hon. B. Earle Mac- Donald. After attending the meeting, Mr. Myers said he was -surprised on his return to the Chamber, to find that the House had adjourned until Monday.

Extent OI Territorial Wafers Proves Big Snag GENEVA (Reuters) — The world conference onthe law of the sea here appeared Friday to be headed for the rocks, its mem- bers unable to agree c meas- ures to define the extent of ter- tutorial waters-. The same issue also caused the Hague conference of 1930 to founder. . The conference Friday voted 46 to 16—with Russia and the Com- munist nations of Eastern Eu- rope opposed—to postpone until March 31 detailed discussions of draft rules for fixing the extent of territorial waters. The post- ponement was made to give members extra time to seek a compromise, but their positions are so far apart that observers feel there is little chance of their agreeing on an effective settle- ment within the next 10 days. Without such agreement, vir- tually nothing can be done with the other 72 draft articles, which include the question of air space over territorial waters, the judi- cial status of territorial waters and the right of innocent pas- sage. WANT 3-MILE LIMIT The United States, Britain and France lead powers favoring the three-mile limit as ‘the legal ex- tent of territorial waters. Sweden, Norway, and Finland recognized a four - mile limit, while India, Ceylon, Yugoslavia and Greece are among countries claiming six miles. - Russia, her Eastern European allies and Egypt and Indonesia claim 12 miles. In addition, In- to draw a line around its entire archipelago of 3,000 islands to in- clude all the waters within. Canada supports the three-mile limit, but with acceptance of a 12 - mile zone over which the coastal state could exercise con- trol of fisheries. And at the extreme end, there are some South American re- publics which claim up to 200 miles. T00 COSTLY The United States maintains it would be extremely costly to ex- tend the present limit to 12 miles. To do so, it said, would be to add an extra $180,000,000 a year to the present cost of patrolling the three-mile limit. Britain is against Canada’s proposal because it would cut Britain off from her principal fishing grounds around the coast of Iceland. The result would be a 50-per-«cent drop in the country's "deep-sea fishing catch. With regard to fishing interests, the major development has been Canada’s proposal, which still would leave her without jurisdic- tion over much of the Newfound- land grand banks and other im- portant fishing areas. _ The Canadian proposal has found support from a number of other countries, among them Nor- way, Iceland, Ireland and Aus- tralia.'It also appears to be gain- ing further support from such Asiatic countries as India.

But the principle involved cert- ainly is.

He said “no one is suggesting that Canadian wheat farmers are Communists because Canada’s wheat board has finally com- pleted : sale to China. There is no reason why Canadian - made automobiles cannot be sold to China without a lot of name-ca1- ling.

Pearson said Friday he would not agree to the use of force in revising the German - Polish bonder but he would be the last man to oppose any revisions achieved through negotiations. The Liberal leader touched on this delicate foreign issue at a Association luncheon for some 300 ethnic group representatives Toronto and Yorks Liberal after flying in from a two-day campaign in his Algoma East constituency in Northern On- tario. A near mishap marked his ar- rival at nearby Malton Ainport. His chartered DC-3 aircraft was coming in for a landing and was about 150 feet above the runway when pilot Bob Simallm-an pulled the plane up for another circuit of the field before landing. The pilot explained later he spotted another plane ready to take off. He decided not to risk a possible collision. ADVOCATES NEGOTIATIONS At a luncheon he advocated Western negotiations with the .So- viet on every pc-;-ible occasion, not merely in the interest of se- curing peace but also in the in- slaved. , Then he touched on the Ger- man-Polish ysue, recalling that he had given an interview to a Polish journalist before he be- came Liberal leader in mid?Jan- yar and that the printed version —which had caused some ethnic group controversy-—was not ex- actly in accordance with the facts. Mr. Pearson had been asked what his position would be on the matter of the territory ceded by Germany to Poland as a result of the Second World War if ever Germany became reunited. LIKES REUNIFICATION He was quoted as having said he would support the reunifica- tion of Germany, through free elections but would oppose Ger- many regaining lost territories through the use of force. Mr. Pearson said it was true that he said he would oppose the use of force. No Canadian gov- ernment could sanction such ac- tion. But he would be the last man to oppose border alterations through agreement. He added that he hated to say. anything that would disturb ra- terest of un-shackling the en- cial groups in Canada. «menu ‘policy is probably, for all partment from filling an order
